TREASURER’s REPORT 2024
AS per usual, this year’s accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Charity Commission’s current Guideline. The accounts have been verified by Arvind Patel. SSF committee is grateful to Arvind for volunteering his services and would like to extend our sincere thanks to him.
I am very pleased to say financially it has been a good year for us. As you may recall, in February last year we received 2 years of funding for our Connect Sunday Lunch Project from the National Lottery Fund. We have utilized one year of funding and for this year will continue to fund the Connect Project from the remaining amount. The funds will be used up by 2nd week of February 2026.
The Connect Project continues to thrive under the leadership of Marilyn Gordon-Jones. She not only does all the admin work but also does most of the food shopping. We currently have 24 people who regularly attend and enjoy the Sunday Lunch.
The success of our Project is largely due to the team of volunteers who are dedicated and very welcoming. Our sincere thanks to all the volunteers and they are Marilyn Gordon-jones, Joan Abreu, Jenny Duff, Jill Boorman, Chris Woods, Scott Cavanagh and his daughter Ellie, Jane Beesley and Hina Rathod and her daughter Zara.
We would also like to thank Scott for printing each month’s Newsletter for us.
Last year we sadly lost one of our long-standing members, Iris Heppel. She was kind and generous enough to leave SSF a legacy of £10,000.00. This is the first time we have received a Legacy fund. It felt appropriate to honour her legacy by erecting a memory bench in a park in Sutton. I pleased to say the bench was installed in Sutton Park last week.
As I said at the beginning, financially it has been a good year and so the Committee is very keen to show their appreciation to the members by arranging a seaside trip free of charge for the members. So please let us know where you would like to go and when and based on the most common or popular suggestions we will plan accordingly.
