A Year Like No Other – C-Change Annual Report 2020-2021

Introduction
By Sam Smith, CEO
This years annual report is called ‘A Year Like No Other’.
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 reflection, appreciation and offer of
thanks for all those who helped us make it through the most difficult time.
We offer thanks to the people we work for and their families. We also give thanks and show
appreciation for colleagues who ensured that people continued to stay healthy, safe and well
and lead good lives, despite the circumstances. We acknowledge that we could not have
continued to do our vital work without the support of volunteers, our local and online
communities, local businesses and public sector organisations. Together we made it through
‘A Year Like No Other’.
We really hope you appreciate and enjoy the report. We also hope that you will work with us
to ensure the hard lessons learned through this time provide a solid foundation to build a
better future we can all be proud of.
