How can I get extra UCAS points

From now until September 2021, is there any way I can get some UCAS points? I’m talking around 8 to 10 or even more if possible. I’m down for volunteering, helping abroad, literally ANYTHING (except get really good at a musical instrument or take a btec)... I have a whole year.

Also, do universities really care about a few UCAS points if you’ve got a strong portfolio and personal statement? It’s an art-based uni. Or will I 100% be rejected if I don’t have the minimum points?

Pls help THANK U

(Coronavirus screwed me over and I wasn’t able to reach a distinction because our final major project was obviously cancelled - we haven’t had results yet but I reckon I’ll only get a pass, I’m not sure how they’re grading us on just our coursework! would the whole corona thing be considered a bit or not)

(I’m 18 btw)

I applied for an art-based subject and was given an unconditional offer just based on my portfolio and I was over 20 points under than they were asking, they tend to be forgiving as long as you have a strong portfolio and have the basic maths and English grades.
