## Cuckoo’s Nest AGM 

## July 2025 

## **Chair’s AGM Address 2025** 

Good evening, I am Clare one of the co-chairs of The Cuckoo's Nest. On behalf of myself and Kim, our other co-chair, I would like to start by thanking everyone for coming this evening and take this opportunity to publicly thank all our volunteers for their continued efforts and hard work. Without our volunteers wouldn't be able to function as we do and raise money to give back to the community. Our volunteers work tirelessly behind the scenes dealing with donations of clothes, toys, books and brica-brac getting them ready for sale in the shops. So, if you have a couple of hours spare a week and would like to help us continue to help you please have a chat with one of us this evening, or pop into the shop! 

So, this year it's been another tough twelve months, not just for us but for every business in Marsden, as footfall and trade within the village continues to fall. We have seen a drop in income through our shops, and I know it's being felt in other shops and businesses within the village, so I would like to thank all our customers for their continued support. If people didn't buy from our shops we would not be able to give out our bi-annual grants to help support local not for profit groups, clubs and organisations, so thank you for helping us make a difference in our community. 

I would now like to pass over to our Treasurer for her report... 

Clare Ackroyd 



This is an overview of our income and expenses over the past year 2034-25: 

||**2024-25**|2023 – 24|22-23|21-22|
|---|---|---|---|---|
|**Bookshop sales**|**16430.24**|20085.68|19397|13009|

As you will see, the top shop income is down on the previous year.  This is mostly due to the fact that we have had to close the shops on Tuesdays, but to a shortage of volunteers.  We also receive considerably less for our recycling from Colltex (who collect recycling from us). 

The bookshop income is helped by selling on books that we haven’t sold to companies such as World of Books – thanks to everyone for the time that this takes. We also take items to the Sheffield Auction House for them to sell on our behalf. 

We have taken a number of steps to reduce our expenditure, which should show results in the current financial year: 

- we have stopped our contract with BT and now use a mobile phone for the shop 

- we have purchased card readers for both shops, which initially has increased expense, but will save us almost £500 a year 

- we are looking at reducing our recycling waste collections
