## CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 2022 The London and Slough Run (LASR) had its first full year’s occupancy in Dukes House, Wellington Street, Slough. The Charity partnered with British Land in July 2021 and were granted the use of Duke’s House in central Slough as a large central location to move operations to. The lease is over three years and is rent free. We still use St Joseph’s Church halls in Chalfont St Peter, Gerrard’s Cross for the preparation of soup, sandwiches etc every Monday for the run to London feeding up to 250 guests on Monday evenings. The property at Dukes House has enabled LASR to expand its food share activity together with the collection and delivery of furniture and electrical goods to help those in need, specifically those who have been given a room by the Council housing dept as the first step to a new life off the streets. Surplus food is still collected daily from a number of local supermarkets and then packaged ready for immediate distribution to over a dozen local Charities. Development of the food share program started at the outset of the pandemic and has been very successful in growing since there are many more people in need. LASR did not operate any Night Shelter again this year, due to the Government guidance. Our long standing chairman of approx. 10 years, John Power, resigned due to work commitments abroad, and we are grateful for all his sterling work setting up the night shelter and steering LASR into the recognised charity it has now become. John Goudie took over temporary Chairmanship for six months, but will be moving on in the near future. www.thelondonandsloughrun.org Trustees : Malcolm Johnstone- Chairman, Nuala Fox - Secretary, Agnes Fairhead - Treasurer, Christina Brackenridge (Gompertz), Jerry O’Shea, Toby Evans, Cecil Boyd, Mike Kennedy-Diggins, Ciaran Beary, Julian Brooker, Roy Khan Registered Charity Number 1000331 Registered office: St Josephs Church, Bull Lane, Chalfont St Peter, Gerrards Cross, SL9 8RY At the beginning of the year, our Treasurer, Orla Walsh stepped down and was replaced by Agnes Fairhead, a retired qualified accountant. Our previous Treasurer and Trustee, Terry McDonnell sadly passed away during the year. He was a dedicated stalwart and had looked after our finances for many years. At the beginning of the year we invited five new Trustees to join us and help with managing our new pathway as we are able to do a lot more for our guests now we have an operating base at Duke’s House. We have put out many requests for extra volunteers to help with the food preparation, packing, driving, and the sorting and delivery of furniture. We are very grateful to all our donors who have kept us afloat this year, including British Airways, Deanway United Church, Waitrose Gerrards Cross, Slough Baptist Church, GX Furniture Mart, Suzy B Pilates and J Stott. The Trustees continue to be grateful to all the volunteers for their selfless and tireless work in support of all our most vulnerable and marginalised people in society.
