During this period, very little activity took place due to covid 19. Our trustees had 4 meetings across this year with an external consultant to try to establish a regular form of revenue for the charity. We created a package called Communication Matters and distributed it to two large companies. Nothing came to fruition from this.

We connected with Saigon Children’s Charity and delivered 4 online training courses to special needs teachers. This was well received.

We met with and tried to establish links with an organisation in Turkmenistan and Nepal.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
