## **Achievements and performance**
**Summary of the main achievements of** The Southside Association has not met as a full group since **the charity during the financial period** March 2020, when COVID restrictions came into effect. The group’s membership had been in decline for many years, and at the time of the last full meeting stood at 15. Since then some members moved away, and as is the way of things, some have died. The area has had a community council since 2000 – the Southside Community Council. Community Councils are statutory bodies, and receive funding from local Councils. After restrictions were eased, the SCC took over the work of the Southside Association, an amenity group as opposed to a statutory body, in areas such as planning and licensing, environment, and arranging the annual Christmas Carol service. Members are elected every four years. The four remaining trustees of the SA meet informally from time to time, and discuss ideas to take forward to the SCC and the City Council.
