Apologies : Andrew, Wendy, Elaine.
Welcome: Chair welcomed everybody to the meeting. Minutes of 2019 AGM and Report to CC in lieu of 2020 AGM were proposed by J Pratt and accepted by S Budd.
Chair thanked Cheryl for organising shop after Covid. Outside shop had been landscaped, we were the first charity shop to open in the town after 1[st] and 2[nd] lockdown. Chair also thanked volunteers who returned to the shop. Also, Sandra John thanked for getting the bookstore up and running. Treasurer and Secretary thanked for keeping the finances going and applying for grants. Nic and Andrew were thanked for keeping the cattery running through lockdown.
Treasurer Report: Given by Kevin Brady, he gave figures ending in our financial year 2020 and 2021 as we did not have an AGM last year. 2019-20 we were minus £10654. In 2020-21 we were minus £9701 (expenditure over income) However without the grants we received we would have used most of our reserve. Grants totalling £47900 over 2 years saved us. Maesteg shop income 2020 £38450, 2021 £19420. Nantymoel shop closed during 2020. The pandemic showed us how important it is to keep a healthy reserve. Bookstall income £3856 2020, £4070 2021. The loan has also been paid for our shop, so we now own it!
Secretary Report : Given by Jan Brady. Shop now belongs to us saving £5000 per year. Lockdown hit us hard, but J Brady applied for as many grants as possible to keep funds flowing. Nantymoel shop closed during Covid. Cheryl deep cleaned the shop during lockdown and painted it, she also put into action all PPE and safety measures. The back garden has been landscaped and an extra shed for donations. Grants received from Support Adoption for Pets, Association of Dogs and Cats Homes in Battersea, The Hob House Trust, BAVO, and BCBC. Louise also generated funds by selling items on Ebay. We have helped just over 100 people with vet bills for pets many of them dogs. We have had to travel to other branches for neuter and vacc during Covid. Neutered 155 cats but only limited vouchers from CP. J Brady homed 23 cats in addition to Nicola and 54 kittens. Nicola has done a grand job keeping the cattery going and homed many cats. One of our long-term residents appeared in the Cat Chat Calendar they sent a professional photographer for this. We also appeared in The Cat magazine. All adverts have been halted to save funds.
Cattery Report: Given by Nicola Ellis, 85 cats homed, stayed open for emergencies during Covid when the larger charities were closed. Nicola put full PPE in the cattery, no cost to Maws. She did zoom meetings with potential owners and video calls. Travelled to people’s houses to deliver cats with paperwork done by email, travelled as far as Tenby, Ammanford etc. Mainly older people wanting cats. Nic has had to travel to Pontyclun or Porthcawl branches for veterinary care such as vacc and neuter which takes time and fuel. Nicola has also taken cats to vet appointments for older people who were afraid to go out. She thanked Andrew and Jan for the help given to her. At present we have 35 cats in care.
Shop Report: Given by Cheryl Evans, she has put all safety measures in the shop and made a one-way system. She reported lots of donations have been received since they opened. The shop is running well but more volunteers are needed as the shop is on limited hours and open only 5 days a week.
Book Shop Report: Given by Sandra John, this stall is running well but shortened hours as not many people in town. No issues arising.
