## Section D Achievements and performance
We have organised three important cultural events namely Ugadi, **Summary of the main** Bathukamma and Diwali and, these festivals bring people who speak **achievements of the charity** Telugu to come together and celebrate these events. These events acted **during the year** as base for people to interact, children to learn and understand the traditions of Telugu culture. This also acted as a platform for new people who have arrived in the UK, to develop relationships and make new friends among the community. There was lot of positive feedback from the attendees, good food, cultural music, dance and songs all made the vents very successful. These are something which we will carry on.
We wanted to start organising teaching traditional dance classes, but sourcing a volunteer teacher has been challenging and finding a suitable venue has been difficult. This is something which we will pursue further.
We managed to attract a number of new community members based on our past activities. We have more ambitious plans for the forthcoming years to expand and achieve our goals.
