• Rearranged the European Aniridia Conference to be an online event, funded by a successful application for €30,000 from the Network Support Scheme of the European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases

• volunteer induction pack created
• trustee retirement by rotation deffered to 2021 from 2020 annual general meeting.

Thanks to super efforts by everyone who helped with all these achievements

However, we continue to struggle to do some basic things well and rely too much on a few very active volunteers. We badly need more people to help us achieve our goals. Please volunteer if you can.

The report will be received at the charity’s Annual General Meeting 2021
