_November 2019 to November 2020_ ## CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Well, what a year it has been. We started this financial year as usual, everything was going according to plan, then towards the end of 2019 rumours of a new and strange virus hit the headlines. Little did we know just what an impact this would have in the months to follow. As the virus spread and the virus forced us into a pandemic situation everything changed, we had to work to a whole different set of rules regarding Health and Safety. This involved imposing the governments strict regulations regarding masks, screens, sanitisers etc. being introduced into the shop environment. It is not necessary for me to go into details of the following months but I just want to say a big thank you to all the managers and staff for the way they knuckled down during this difficult time to ensure the safety of not only themselves but also our customers. It was just as the first lockdown was introduced than Sue Prosser our Horninglow shop manager tended her resignation. Sue explained to me that she was planning on retiring in October anyway but felt it would be unfair to Newstart for her to take a salary during lockdown and then resign in October so with this in mind she brought forward her retirement. I thank Sue for her honesty and integrity. Following Sue’s retirement we appointed Dorota as the new shop manager and Gill as the managers assistant. Both were already volunteers working at the Horninglow shop and I wish to welcome them to Newstart as paid employees. During the lockdown period we were able to do a complete refurbishment of the Winshill shop. This involved re-decorating, new carpets, lighting and fittings. We are very pleased with the end result and we have had many positive comments from our customers and staff. We are taking steps to have the exterior of the shop re-painted and brought up to standard. During this difficult year we the Trustees wish to thank our managers and staff for all the extra efforts shown to ensure we are able to continue trading. I appreciate that the workload has increased regarding sanitising regulations, particularly where donations are concerned. Our finances remain on a sure footing. This is mainly due to the government grants we have received. During this difficult period we have managed to pay our staff their full salaries and have paid our rents and all met all other outstanding financial commitments. Pam and I as trustees would like to thank all the people who work within the Newstart project. Our particular thanks go to our volunteer workers who give up their valuable time to ensure the smooth running of the Newstart shops.
