Trustees Annual Report 2020- 2021 The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 21 May 2021 As with the whole world we have felt the signif icant effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic. Whilst it has been difficult to meet our objectives, we have undertaken what work we could to support those around us. Achievements and performance We have been forced to move to a more streamlined method of working with our admin and financial work being done remotely, unfortunately over the last year it has been extremely difficult for much of the maintenance work and everyday care of our site to be completed by volunteers, we therefore increased our expenditure in certain areas whilst cutting down in others, we do feel that we are in a strong position going forward to achieve the future success of Donna's Dream House. Unfortunately due to the Pandemic we felt that it was not appropriate to have families stay at Donna's Dream House, we did however find other ways to support the families. By providing them with goods and services where required. Our other part time staff were furloughed for most of the year, however the government grants and other income meant that we could continue to pay them their full wages. It has not been possible to hold the fundraising events that we would normally undertake, however due to the generosity of our supporters and through the government grants we have been able to confirm that the charity remains in a good position going forward.
Fundraising and Volunteers Unfortunately due to the pandemic we have not been able to have the support of the volunteer community we would normally expect, and our costs for maintenance have significantly increased as we have had to pay for the work to be done that we would normally use volunteers for however moving forward we hope that we will be able to move back to our volunteer workforce in the future. The Trustees would like to offer special thanks to the many organizations and individuals for their extra special support of Donna's Dream House throughout this year, without whom we would not be able to support so many families, there are too many to name individually but we all know who they are. I should also thank the other trustees of the charity that assist me in keeping the charity moving forward with no financial benefit to themselves. I must also thank those individuals who have been in touch and promised support in whatever way possible through this situation. Like many of us, we await more news and hope to be back to normal in the very near future. All in all, whilst it has been difficult at times, the charity continues to move forward and I look towards the future development of Donna's Dream House. BE Chairman of Trustees
