Achlevements & Performance In 2021 Feeling Strong had the challenge lo provide mental health support to young people more than ever before during a global pandemic. At the end of December 2020, we were faced with another nationwide lockdown for four months which negatively impacted th8 mental health of young people within Dundee. As the loGkdown began. we were faced wlth a similar challenge in 2020, therefore adapting to Ihls new way of working from home, however, some proj8Cts and face-to-face projects were postponed. Despite Ihese challenges, we w8re able to launch new projects that followed Ihe Covid 19 lockdown restrictions. Our regular servlce deliveries were pushed back until il was deemed safe for charities to restart their work services again in MaylJune. Since then we have brought our projects back to the public wlh new safety measures in place, as well as finding new ways of campaigning and fundraising while keeping everyone safe from the spread of Covid-19. This year we have proved to ourselves that we can adapt to any changes and be there for young people when they need us the most.
