  • Supporting the Community of Barnes
    Supporting the community of Barnes Annual Review 2020 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR A warm welcome to this review of our activities in 2020. The Covid-19 pandemic made this, of course, an unprecedented year. And for many residents, the adverse impact on their wellbeing has been further aggravated by the continued closure of Hammersmith Bridge. We have reported here the steps that we took to increase targeted grant- making - both last spring in the initial lockdown, and then again earlier this year to support school children with online learning. Referrals for grants to individuals also continue to grow. At Walsingham Lodge, we welcomed two new residents in 2020, and worked closely with the managing agent to minimise the risk of infection. While prioritising the pandemic response, we also took time in 2020 to pursue various initiatives to mark our 50th anniversary. Early in the year we changed our name and launched a new website, as well as renovating the communal lounge at Walsingham Lodge. In the autumn we invited a group of Barnes stakeholders to come together to oversee research on need in Barnes. We hope the resulting report, due to be published in June 2021 on our website, will be a resource for the entire community, as well as a tool to help us maximise the effectiveness of our future grant making. Finally in 2020, we started considering the ways in which the Fund can protect the environment. While acknowledging that we have much to learn and do, we have now published a policy setting out our approach, and including the steps we have taken to date, and those we are considering for the future.
