Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
As this academic year developed we have been able to operate preschool more like we did pre pandemic. We learned some helpful practices during the period of working in bubbles and have sort to transfer these ideas to a free flow setting. Like all Early Years settings we have seen the needs of the children coming to us as bound up with the fact that they have not been able to socialise for a significant part of their short lives so far. Our staff have worked hard to meet the needs of the children at a very busy and demanding time.
Our fundraising team continue to work hard and we enjoyed a new event of a Ladies Evening just at the time when things started to open up for everyone. We also continued with our Yard Sale, as well as a number of children’s activity mornings during holidays which were appreciated by the community as a whole.
