A Year Like No Other – C-Change Annual Report 2020-2021
We are delighted to release our annual report 2020-2021 titled ‘A Year Like No Other’ Our report is a mix of both Video and Audio + PDF version to view and download We thought it was important to acknowledge that the year 2020/2021 was nothing like any other we have experienced. The impact of a global pandemic was not something we had planned for. We had to adapt and change as circumstances evolved rapidly around us. And so, in recognition that it was not business as usual, we have produced a not business as usual annual report. Instead this report takes the form of a reflection, appreciation and offer of thanks for all those who helped us make it through the most difficult time.

My Year Like No Other
By Laura Walsh - Personal Development Worker
I would never have thought a year or so ago that I would have lived through a pandemic –
me, the eager viewer of ‘The Walking Dead’ and all things apocalyptic! - let alone work
through one.
In that year I’ve discovered that whereas movies depict mass chaos and person-on-person
crimes, instead we’ve seen the people we work for, and us as organisation, overcome major
obstacles with a tenacity and dignity that are worthy of any silver screen nomination.
Adapt. Overcome. Survive. - is a mantra I like to use and
I feel we’ve done just that, from the people we work for
to the line managers, the FaB (Finance and Business)
teams and Personal Development Workers (PDW’s).
We’ve all supported each other to do things like:
maintain a work / life balance as we work from home; a
PDW assisting a person we work for to do an online
course; a team member giving a socially distanced lift
home due to the reduced transport services; or posting
a good news story on Yammer to make someone's
lockdown life a bit brighter that day.
“
We overcame, we
adapted
and we definitely
survived
“
We adapted to all of this. We overcame major routine changes, restriction changes and
uncertainty. We felt our liberty was restricted, which helped us to empathise with the people
we work for as they’ve faced this level of restriction most of their lives - we only suffered for a
year! We survived long Tesco queues, no toilet rolls and the odd anti-masker.
So I believe that we, as colleagues, friends (some of us family), but most importantly
as human beings, have learned where the inconceivable is conceivable and the
conceivable becomes inconceivable – we overcame, we adapted and we most
definitely survived.
