During the twelve months covered by this report (April 2021 to March 2022), Covid has continued to affect all our lives and how we operate at NNRF. We have focused on how we continue to deliver support and services in a safe and appropriate way, adapt to the changing Covid situation and embed the practice developed and the positive things we have learned from operating remotely.
The NNRF staff team expanded once again during the year under review. We have achieved long-term funding aims for additional services, for example the Fresh Claims project, in partnership with Nottingham Arimathea Trust, and a Client Participation Worker post, which will provide a voice for asylum seekers and refugees and support client involvement in the ways the Forum’s services are run. The new projects would not have been possible without the phenomenal achievements of the Grants sub-committee volunteers in attracting funding to NNRF. We are indebted to their expertise and commitment.
