But the global pandemic curtailed a number of our planned fundraising activities. A description of the principal risks facing the charity Para 1.46 In 2020, businesses and governments were preoccupied with Covid-19 related matters. Financial prudence was evident at national and individual levels. Furtherniore, collecting supporters together for fundraising events was restrained by lockdown restrictions in the UK. International travel for UK training volunteers was severely restricted. In Zambia, community schools were closed for a period and ThCSZ had little choice but lo postpone its planned training programme in order to keep teachers and volunteer trainers safe. tt is hoped that these external risks will reduce in the near future and that T4Z's more socially based fundraising plans can be reinstated. After careful examination of the Covid-19 situation in Zambia, and in consultation with community school teachers, rrcsz resurned training in 2021. To keep everyone as safe as possible, changes have been made to the delivery model, an all- Zambian team of volunteers is delivering the training and essential safety protocols have been implemented. Collectively we trust that these strategles will enable T4Z and its Zambian partner to manage the effects of these serious external risks.
