heatth and safety of all of wr resitlents. staff and meM￿lS of the puts1￿.
Given the uncertainty of when I￿rrent UK Gobtmmenl Cov1￿19 containment measures wil cease. rt is likely
we will ¢ontinue to experience restittions in actiwty. The Chartty has sought to mil￿ale Ihe effect of the
necessary restrictions on actmty by seeking to preserve cash and making Ltse of the CoronawTUS Job Retention
Scheme. . While we wntinue to (4)eraiÈ wrt￿"n our bank faclths, cUrren￿Y we do not antiapate the need to avail
of further support mechanisms.
