Chair Persons Annual Report 2022
Welcome to our Annual General Meeting for 2022.
As we slowly move forward after Covid 19, it is once again a tribute to the
amazing staff, volunteers, and members of Community By Nature that we
are thriving and embedding ourselves as an integral part of our local
community. This has meant we remain stable and secure, and on behalf
of the Board, I would like to take this opportunity to express our deepest
gratitude to everybody involved in that process.
I would also like to thank our funders for their support through the year in
particular the Steve Morgan Foundation, Children in Need and Youth
Endowment Fund whose on going funding has been instrumental in
ensuring our sustainability, as well as enabling us to offer tailored support
services to our community through the pandemic.
I would like to thank all our visitors, learners, and the entire local
community. Working together during this period has highlighted the
strength and depth of relationships that mean we are still able to provide
such a high-quality seniice. We have.done so much work with local
children, whether it is supporting them during school holidays, or the
amazing Christmas with Santa days. All the groups that attend our centre
help make it what it is, a beacon of light for everyone.
And of course, none of these things could be achieved without our
volunteers whose support is invaluable as our centre continues to
develop and adapt according to local need.
l am also very grateful to my fellow Board colleagues, who committed
substantial time and energy to Community By Nature during the past
year. Special thanks go to Claire Morgans who is standing down from the
Board. Claire's expertise and support have been invaluable and we wish
you all the bestl
Thank you
Jim Brett
