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.

Aidan’s Story
By Ian Saunders - Personal Development Worker
Aidan is a great observer, and a people person, he likes
to be around people. Just prior to lockdown, Aidan
was really enjoying quite a good social life. Aidan gets
enormous pleasure from meeting up and socialising with
people. He was going to nightclubs in Glasgow, then two
weeks later, it all changes. So instead of Aidan's life
revolving around what he wanted to do, Aidan's life
started to revolve around what he couldn't do. He was
limited to how far he could go out and who he could
meet.
“Aidan gets enormous
pleasure from meeting
up and socialising
with people
“
Aidan just took it in his stride, spent time on his tablet, face-time his friends and his parents.
He'd go in the hot tub and sometimes would be in his hot tub until 11 o'clock at night. He just
seemed completely unaffected by everything that was going on. He would do gardening
and wood work at home rather than at a college. That's been really good for Aidan.
We started to involve in Aidan's life things like social stories, just to help him understand what
was going on in the world with Covid. We also sometimes switched the news on and watched
some of the conferences that either Nicola Sturgeon or Boris Johnston was doing, just to gain a
little bit of his interest, and being Aidan, he started wanting Nicola Sturgeon and Boris
Johnston face-masks, which he now has…and he does the impressions of them.
Aidan is quite understanding of COVID. Only last night he was chanting “There's only
one covid vaccine, one covid vaccine”.
In this year like no other, Aidan’s incredible resilience, adaptability and inner strength
got us through.
