In partlcular the Charlty Commlsslon guldance on publlc beneflL Achlevements and performance The past 12 months has seen the Coronavirus pandemic ease somewhat. However, we sadly remember friends and family that have been impacted by the pandemic whilst, at the same time, praising God for the lives of those who passed on. One major change. which occurred in may, was that Meadow Idwdy Chapel w8S taken over by Gateway Vineyard Church which coincided with the resignation of the Meadow Way Chapel Community Worker. Encouragingly, the Trustees of the new church immediately indicated their interest, having noted that the Meadow Way Community Worker had played a major role with their work amongst the elderly of the local communty. Both sets of Trustees agreed that the vacancy should be filled as soon as possible. Continuing with our ZOOM meetings, H8hOrne Meadow Trust trustees also noted the wider role of Gateway Vineyard Church and were keen that the 'local' support for the elderly continued. The Gateway Vineyard Trustees confirmed that support for this IoGal work would continue. The remainder of the year saw communication beeen the two sets of Trustees wrth, firstly. agreeing a new Job Descripts'on for the new Community Worker, now known as the Older People Community Worker. Having agreed the new Job Description, the role was advertised towards the end of the year, and the Trust awaits the outcome. The aim is that the new Community Worker's role is to commence in the early part of 2023. Both sets of Trustees are praying for the right person to fill the role. Vthilst the Community Worker's role fomied part of the Trustees work during 2022, our Pinewo¢xls project was also moving forward. Currently, our solicitors are endeavouring to put in place a 'tendering' process whereby the Trustees are able to approach local builders to quote to build our 5 bungalows. suitable for the 0¢patIon by the the elderly. Included in our project will be a Day Room for use of our tenants. The Trustees continue to pray for new Trustees who must have a heart in supporting our work amongst the elderly of the local community. Appointing a new solicitor remains outstanding. It is our prayer that this fresh start will bring new Trustees so as to continue the essential and valuable work with the elderly. The Twstees Continue to praise God for the guidan and encouragement we have received to date none more than that of receiving a further legacy as proof that we are on the right path.
