## Section D 

## Achievements and erformance p 

**Summary of the main** Unfortunately, on March 18 2020 headquarters issued a statement **achievements of the charity** instructing all Sea Cadet Units to close down due to the Covid-19 outbreak. **during the year** During this period online activities were made available to all Cadets. On 17 September 2020, the Unit achieved ‘Lime’ status meaning it had complied with all of the Covid guidelines and had been assessed as safe to re-open by National Sea Cadets. This was due to the efforts of our CO PO(SCC) McBrinn. In order to limit numbers in the building at any one time Seniors were limited to attending one night a week on a Thursday with Juniors attending on their own on a Monday evening. During October half-term three boating sessions were planned at Tamar Lake but unfortunately due to poor weather only one session took place. On the 3 November 2020 the Unit had to close again in line with Government Covid restrictions. The Unit had planned re-open in January but was unable to do so due to the national Covid lockdown imposed after Christmas. Online activities were continued to be offered to all Cadets. The AGM for the year April 2019 to End March 2020 had been delayed due to Covid but took place via Zoom on Monday 25 January 2021. The CO reported that despite the effects of Covid we still retained 26 Senior Cadets, 10 Junior Cadets and 9 Uniformed staff. Mr Stuart Towers stood down as Unit Chair but remained as Trustee. Mr Neal Davies-Fletcher was elected as trustee and Unit Chair. The Unit remained closed in accordance with the national Covid lockdown for the remainder of this financial year.
