## **Annual Report 2023** 

Due to Coronavirus, the organisation has had a complete cessation of any activities that were public but are now operating as normal again. 

The Association’s Committee meetings continued online with the addition of new members, which is a great boost for the area. 

Representatives continued to attend the Inter-Agency “walkabouts” where issues were identified and added to the Inter-Agency Action Plan. 

The Association were successful in receiving funds to help during the lockdown period(s). The funding was received from Fermangh & Omagh District Council’s COVID Recovery fund. The association highlighted individuals/families that were in need and funds were used to purchase essential items. 

As on ongoing effort to maintain the area, the Association organised 3 “Litter-Pick” days for the area. They were a great success and the group plans to apply to Live Here, Love Here in order to continue and expand on the work already started. 

A new walking group has been formed in the area and is proving to be very successful, with the group walking 2 nights per week (Tuesday/Thursday). 

The association are also applying to Council for support for local Fun Day and for running costs (including insurance). 

I would like to thank all my fellow committee members for their support during this tough time and to all our funders and agencies that work with us throughout the year.
