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.

Life During Lockdown

My feelings towards living in Lockdown

By Andrew Moodie - Person we work for

My morning routine normally goes something like this: exercise, shower and breakfast. Maybe

listen to the radio. Then I would head out to wherever I was going to be spending the day. But

since multiple places seemingly closed at once, followed by the imposing of the lockdown, the

routine now stops with the radio. Now I have unlimited amount of time to do things, but they

have to be within the house or local area.

I feel I have a clear understanding of the situation - it’s either stay near your home or risk

contracting this virus. Under the circumstances, I would have to say that I am taking this quite

well. I try to take daily walks with my dad, and I still manage to get the foods and medicines that

I need.

I don’t feel that affected by all the cafés, restaurants and shops being closed. But with the

cinemas closed as well and me being a film critic, this seems to be the only downside that I can

think of. I’m also prone to coming across articles that predict doom for cinemas. But I would

rather side with those that value the cinema experience, and try to remain as optimistic as

possible. Worst case scenario - cinemas have a hard time restarting, but eventually find their

footing again.

I think another reason for me finding it so easy to remain calm at a time like this could be that

despite the limitations I have found ways to keep myself busy while indoors. I have written a lot

of media-related articles (like this one) and all of them received favourable responses. I have also

learned some things that I previously did not know, such as some names of plants we see on our

walks. I have walked 45 miles and I under- took an Open University course to develop my writing

that was meant to last eight weeks, I finished it in four days. But then again I did find it very easy.

Good luck with your new ‘normal’ - however you may be handling it better or

worse than others, and I know if you’re like me you are getting tired of hearing

about it every two minutes. But even though it may seem like nothing more than

unrealistic expectations, there will be a day where we can start to put this behind

us and things will get better.
