CHAIRMAN'S REPORT FOR 2023 I would like to start by thanking all the volunteers, including those not here today, for all the help and support you have given the charity this year. The shop has gone from strength to strength with sales exceeding last yearfs record. This has enabled us to increase our donations to local children and to meet the growing demand for counselling. We have also been able to support older local children through volunteering opportunities in the shop. Staffing remains a problem, particularly cover for illness and holidays, but we have managed reasonably well and closures have been limited. Although we lost Sue we have been fortunate to welcome two new volunteers, Sally and Gret3, which help significantly. I would like to thank the committee for all their hard work to keep the shop and the charity running smoothly, particularly: Mike as Treasurer and more importantly his maintenance work particularly with the garages Chris as secretary having to deal with all theyequests and the social workers Rosemary for her expertise with battery toys and electricals Ruth, Dawn and Jean for their commitment in keeping the shop tidy and running efficiently. Finally, I would like to thank you all again and look forward to 2024 being another bumper year.
