The past 3 years have been extraordinarily challenging for our organization, primarily due to two significant and unforeseen events. Firstly, the global COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact on our operations. The restrictions imposed to control the spread of the virus severely limited our ability to conduct our usual activities. This not only affected our fundraising efforts but also our administrative capabilities. The sudden shift to remote work, coupled with the need to ensure the safety of our volunteers and staff, led to delays in several of our internal processes, including financial reporting and tax preparation. Secondly, and more personally, my partner was diagnosed with cancer during this period. This unexpected and distressing development demanded a significant portion of my attention and time, which would otherwise have been dedicated to overseeing the charity's operations and compliance obligations. The emotional and physical toll of caring for a loved one with a serious illness cannot be overstated, and it inevitably affected my capacity to manage the administrative responsibilities of the charity, including the timely filing of tax documents. Given these exceptional circumstances, I hope you will find that there was reasonable cause for the delay in our tax filing. We have taken steps to address these challenges, including implementing more robust remote work systems and seeking additional volunteer support to ensure that such delays do not occur in the future.
