Report of the Trustees for year ending August 2024
The trustees present their annual report for the company. Our principal activity is to provide before and after school care within the property on Wyre Hill Bewdley to help parents with children at local schools take up employment.
This year has seen some big changes at Funhouse with new management taking over after Lindsay Waldron stepped down after nearly 15 years of service to concentrate on her young family. Lindsay Cohen has now taken over the role of manager. Ellen also left the company but was replaced by Sophie Capewell who has been a huge addition to the company. She has taken charge of finances and is driving down bills and cost savings.
High energy bills and food costs is still putting pressure on the business along with increasing rent costs. Numbers of children remains stable throughout the year, with holiday clubs being very well attended.
The company is still getting through as a business but it is getting tougher and tougher as bills and wages increase but and the entire team have worked hard to ensure costs are kept to a minimum and as much money via donations/grants etc can be found.
All trustees remained the same and were all a great support through yet another difficult year.
