## **End of year accounts** 

**A very pleasing and productive 2021/2022.** 

**Mr Alan Rice printed and distributed end of year accounts, along with the aid of Mrs Julie Beerling and Mrs Susan Rice. All committee members now have in their possession a copy of the accounts. All members are aware of the progress The Wheels project has made as discussed in quarterly meetings.** 

**All members are united and positive with the very pleasing results on review of the 2021/2022 accounts.** 

## **Staffing/ Volunteers** 

**Due to our high demand we have extended the working week in one of our areas from three days to five days. Mr Rice, Mr Merton and Mrs Beerling have advertised and conducted interviews to find a suitable candidate and they are pleased to welcome Mr Gavin Robinson onto the team. Gavin will be working every Wednesday and Friday in the construction area.** 

**We as trustees and committee have met and are pleased to report that all staff have a healthy DBS check and things are progressing very well.** 

## **AQA Unit Award Scheme** 

**Due to our expansion of the working week and the opportunity to work and help more students, AQA has gone from strength to strength where this year we have been in a position to help 96 students gain an impressive 500+ qualifications to take with them as they continue on their  journey in life. Well done to each and every one. This covered three areas, Hair and Beauty, Mechanics and Construction. We also received a very healthy and positive Report from AQA thanking us for the hard work we do.**

## **New Working Relationships** 

**Along with our new member of staff, We are also very proud that we represented Ringtons as their Charity of the year! Ringtons very generously donated a staggering £8,860! Which will help immensely. Alan Rice, Julie Beerling, Susan Rice and members of staff and students received the cheque.** 

## **Voices and Conclusions** 

**An overwhelming, productive year is the all-round consensus. It has been a very strong year where the numbers have risen once again and staff positions have grown.** 

**Mr Alan Rice voices his praise and thanks to all involved and wishes that we can all continue to work closely, continuing to dedicate our time for the wheels project and what is best for the wheels project. We are all in agreement that this will continue to allow the wheels project to flourish and grow and find it very rewarding and prosperous. What will next year bring!**
