Note: Focus on the reporting period of April 2021 to March 2022!!!

Chairs Introduction:

It seems not too long ago that we held our last AGM when we presented our financial performance for the year April 2020 to March 2021.

Today we meet to present the financial performance for the period from April 2021 to March 2022.

I would like to confirm that a further AGM will be held in Autumn this year to present our financial performance for the financial year April 2022 to March 2023.

I’m pleased that we find ourselves with a level of expertise in the organisation to enable quicker financial reporting and its mine and the boards belief that by streamlining our AGMs to occur closer to the end of the financial year that we can produce improved insights into the organisation’s performance.

Following the last AGM in Spring 2022 we have seen no change to the BOT. Within our operational teams we have seen just one paid member of staff leave during this period whilst we have seen similarly excellent levels of volunteer retention. During this time, we developed the diversity of our teams with MRC Team members from 6 different countries involved in our day to day operations.

Retention and attraction to the MRC team was helped by the work our teams did in Spring 2021 around an organisational vision and mission statement. Part of this exercise also saw us create 5 organisational values which our teams and leaders demonstrate in their day-to-day roles. These values of Empowerment, Professionalism, Welcoming, Growing and Compassion are important to our teams and our teams living these values has had a large part to play in our ongoing success.

I will now hand over to Paul who will talk over some of our organisational achievements and highlights of the financial year.

The shadow of Covid:

Our previous financial year April 2020 to March 2021 was a story of survival in the shadow of the unfolding global pandemic. It is no secret that at the outbreak of the pandemic the picture looked extremely bleak for the organisation. The high levels of support we received from local and central government enabled us to retain the majority of our teams albeit if many remained on furlough for in some cases nearly 12 months.

The year April 2021 to March 2022 was very much one of recovery and much as society began to normalise so the MRC returned to the “new normal” during this time. Our last member of staff returned from furlough at the start of this period and whilst Covid was always part of our day-to-day activities and thought processes it was reassuring for the team to get back to what they do best.

Professional approach:

At the start of the financial year, we introduced a new reporting structure into the organisation in order to support the delivery of what was looking to be a challenging year. The new team leader level allowed management and board to focus on our organisational strategy whilst ensuring high standards of day-to-day delivery.

Introducing this new layer into our structure supported a number of positive outcomes including:

-Improved departmental communications

-Less reliance on management for decisions

-Team Ownership

-Succession plans and improved holiday cover

Significant developments were made to upgrade our space leading to a more attractive environment for returning visitors this included:

-Full refurbishment of the Hall space into a modern, clean and neutral space

-A standardised colour palette throughout the communal areas of the building making our space more modern and inviting

-Work to the outside of the building opening up light to meeting rooms

-Conversion of 2 small meeting rooms into 1 more useful and useable space.

MRC Team Approach

The VCSE sector relies heavily on volunteer efforts and MRC are no different. During the course of this year, we truly harnessed the potential of our volunteers and bucked a national trend of reducing volunteer numbers. Factors which support this positive outcome are:

-Uniformed volunteers

-Departmental mentoring and development of volunteers

-Quarterly MRC Team events

-Job rotation and ownership

-Clarity of standards and expectations of our volunteers

Retail Success

Following on from the previous year’s interruption to retail through statutory closures due to Covid it was extremely reassuring to see retail return better than ever from Spring 2021. The cohesion of our teams during the year produced retail environments which looked better than ever resulting in us exceeding our retail sales targets.

Aligned to our core value of empowerment we delivered excellent value to our customers and through the Plenty 2 Cook Social Supermarket which opened to the public in late Spring 2021 created a whole new revenue stream. The diversification this brought to our revenue streams supports the ongoing stability of the MRC and re energised footfall to the building following the decimation of visitor numbers during the previous Covid influenced year.

Innovation

Our Wellbeing offering was put front and centre during the year with a variety of events. A successful bid to Leicestershire County Council’s SHIRE grant led to the creation of our Wellbeing Project. Now in its third year the project offers free to user holistic wellbeing workshops offering yoga, meditation, group work and arts. The success of this project also helped drive awareness of the healthy options at the Plenty 2 Cook Social Supermarket where we designed healthy cooking courses and cooking skills workshops.

Our organisations Wellbeing journey would continue to this day with a successful bid being written late in the financial year to host Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland CCG’s pilot Crisis Café Scheme. This sees our 3 trained peer support workers/Wellbeing practitioners host drop in, signposting and practical sessions to support our community’s mental health in a non clinical setting.

Summary

The year April 2021 to March 2022 had a make-or-break potential for the MRC coming as it did off the back of the peak pandemic previous financial year. Our teams were able to take ownership of their departments giving me as leader an opportunity to work more strategically. The success of P2C and the start of the Wellbeing Project are notable highlights, and I am particularly proud that our financial forecasts proved accurate with this momentum setting us up well for the current financial year which I look forward to reporting on in Autumn this year.

I will now hand over to Sue for the Chairs closing statement

From where we are today it feels like the pandemic is quite some way behind us and we have certainly developed as an organisation since those dark days of Spring 2020. The diversity of our offering and the positive reputation MRC has gained since the pandemic is absolutely to the credit of all our MRC Team and on behalf of the board, I think you all for your efforts.

As Paul mentioned in his statement there was a high level of uncertainty at the start of the April 2021 financial year, and it was a relief to see customers return not least in part to the efforts of our teams in making the building clean and attractive once more. Financially the BOT consider the small loss I am about to report to be a positive result given the challenges and effective rebuild of our offering that faced us in April 2021.

Whilst internally we excelled during this year, we are extremely thankful to organisational donors and stakeholders who supported and collaborated with us during the year. On behalf of the organisation, I would like to thank the following
