## Section D Achievements and performance
- Covid continued to impact on the activities of the Charity for most of the financial
- **Summary of the main** year:
- **achievements of the charity during the year** There was a partial lifting of restrictions on 12 July 2021 allowing some improvement work on site ahead of the Taster Day event later that month.
- All domestic and legal restrictions were lifted in February 2022 allowing the Charity to progress appointment of a contractor to undertake Phase 1 site improvements. However, the tendering process was protracted as companies were overwhelmed with requests for work and the price for raw materials had increased significantly. Quotations were in excess of the Grant Funding awarded for the work, so a Just Giving Page campaign was launched with a target of £10k to cover the balance of works.

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
