CREAMER Fund
Minutes of the Annual General Meeting
7 March 2022 Freshwell Health Centre
Present:
Trustees: Christopher Blewett (Chairman) Dr Andrew Hildrey (Vice Chair) Debbie Rogers (Treasurer) Sarah McCarthy (Secretary) Glen Ashby Anni Woodcock Rosalie Wyatt
Members of the public: Dr David Oliver Dr Kim Andrews David Shedden
Apologies for absence:
None.
Welcome:
The Chairman welcomed the Trustees to the meeting.
Minutes of the last meeting:
The minutes of the last Annual General Meeting held on 3 March 2020 had been circulated and were agreed and signed as a true record. Noting it was decided not to hold an AGM in 2021 due to the pandemic.
Matters arising from the minutes:
None.
Chairman’s report:
The Chairman’s report had been circulated to the Trustees for comment and modified according to feedback. The Chair read aloud the concluding paragraph of the report, which noted his stepping down at Chair and new role as Trustee. He kindly acknowledged the important contributions from all the Trustees and doners, past and present. The full version is attached to these notes.
Treasurer’s report:
-
The trial balance to the end of 2021, along with comparisons to previous year, has been circulated to Trustees and sent to the auditor on 28 Feb. Auditing of accounts has been delayed due to illness (auditor). A detailed breakdown will be circulated once accounts signed off by auditor.
-
When comparing 2021 to previous years, there has been a significant ‘In Memory’ donation of ~ £23k, and two large contributions under the general ‘Donations’ line of ~ £1k each. Regarding expenditure, the total expenditure figure looks similar to 2020, however CREAMER no longer funds the MSK Physio (£7k in 2020 accounts) and omits the second half-year invoice from FHC re USS and x-ray (~ £10k). Therefore, expenditure is significantly higher compared to 2020. In conclusion, CREAMER were fortunate to receive one significant donation, without which expenditure would again exceed income, as has been the case for many years.
-
A major difference in the accounts from previous years is the addition of the Sick Poor Fund ~ £29k, which as per the Charity Commission dictate, is shown separately in the accounts.
Key considerations during the year have been:
-
Gift Aid claims in 2021 for 12 months was £737. Note 2020’s claim included all historic eligible donations. CREAMER intends to submit an annual claim.
-
Exploring use of a card reader in a way of collecting donations in an increasingly cashless society. This will be looked into further.
-
Increasing the presence of CREAMER collecting tins in various villages with QR codes.
-
Savings will be made once the BOC Account is transferred into FHC’s name, thereby saving CREAMER the cost of paper billing (~ £70 pa). Mark continues to chase this up with BOC.
-
Sarah has successfully negotiated setting up a Just Giving Page – huge thanks to Sarah for her determination to get through the very lengthy and confusing process to successfully set up links on our Facebook Page and Website to link to online donations via Just Giving.
-
Income has been negatively impacted by pausing the book sales and missing the twice-yearly raffle in surgery. Trustees will continue to review regularly with the surgery, and consider alternative community raffles if situation is prolonged e.g. outside Finchingfield’s Post Office, Great Bardfield Co-op or at an event, such as a summer fete. The Treasurer highlighted that whilst these traditional income sources have been restrained, we have received income from other, new sources such as book sales from the Wonky Wheel Gallery and donations from the use of FHC car park which Freshwell kindly nominated CREAMER as recipient.
Secretary’s report:
The Secretary’s report was read aloud and attached to these notes.
Resignation of officers:
The Chair had informed the Trustees prior to the meeting of his intention to step down at this year’s AGM. His successor will be voted in during the Trustees meeting which follows this AGM. Chris will remain as a Trustee.
Any other business:
None.
Date of next Annual General Meeting:
Monday 6 March 2023
– ’ CREAMER Fund 2022 Chair s report
Enhancing Healthcare for Our Local Community March 2022
Thanks are due to all the Trustees of the CREAMER Fund for the gift of their time and effort over yet another disrupted year.
Although we didn’t hold an AGM last year, we did publish a report from the Chair, and are very pleased to be meeting in person again.
We have a strong team of elected officers in post, supported by David Shedden and the staff at the surgery. Debbie Rogers, our Treasurer, continues to bring her enthusiasm and new ideas to the CREAMER Fund. Sarah McCarthy is a hardworking and proactive Secretary. I would also like to thank Sarah’s husband Rob, who has supported us with his professional design and printing skills. During the year we have said ‘goodbye’ to Anita Clapson. In her role as Freshwell’s Business Manager, Anita has been an effective and important link between the surgery and CREAMER Trustees. She was part of the CREAMER Fund’s community initiative responsible for purchasing and over-seeing the setting up and maintenance of a network of twenty-one defibrillators in the surrounding villages.
We have had another challenging year which has had a huge impact on our fundraising. Our Facebook and website presence has raised our profile and offered a way for the community to make online donations, most recently via a JustGiving page. We thank all those who have supported the CREAMER Fund through this time. Your donations have been more important than ever.
This year our payments have totalled £33,607.73. This includes medical purchases for example a refrigerator, which was required for Covid vaccines. We also support the operation and maintenance of surgery equipment, such as the Ultrasound and X-ray machines. These machines help to speed up diagnosis and treatment, avoiding trips to hospitals. Raising funds to meet ongoing costs is a priority.
I am stepping down this year as Chair of the CREAMER Fund, but I will be continuing as a Trustee. I am very proud to have been involved since Dr Andrew Hildrey started the CREAMER Fund in 1993. I would like to thank all the people who have served on the committee over the years, and all the donors, who have supported us, some of whom wish to remain anonymous. I feel sure that the money we have raised and been gifted, has been used wisely.
Chris Blewett
Chair
– ’ CREAMER Fund 2022 Secretary s report
“It has been a busy year for CREAMER. This report recognises the progress we have made, highlighting the collaborative team effort that goes on behind the scenes. Without committed Trustees, Freshwell’s team and wonderful members of the community, its endeavours would not be possible.
I’d like to start by echoing the Chair’s thanks to the Trustees and spotlight those who sit on the Publicity and Fundraising Sub-Committee. Through this focused group, we are working hard to raise the profile of CREAMER within the surgery, out in the community and online. Thanks to David Shedden and the wider surgery team for their ideas and support on this journey. Patients of the surgery will be seeing more ways to engage with CREAMER, notably new posters in the surgery highlighting how patients benefit from CREAMER’s support, and a dedicated donations box in the reception area.
I would like to thank those in the community who donate, whether it’s popping loose change in a collection tin, a considered donation online, or going the extra mile and raising money in aid of CREAMER specifically. Donations are so important to us, and we never take them for granted.
On that note, I would like to acknowledge Mary at the Wonky Wheel who donated the proceeds of her Colouring Book to CREAMER, and to Mr & Mrs Patient in the village who are opening their garden this year, on quite an impressive scale, for CREAMER.
Thanks also go to the organisers of Finchingfield at Christmas who invited CREAMER to join the festivities and support the event. Warm appreciation goes to Mary at The Wonky Wheel who championed CREAMER throughout. We hope to join forces again in future projects.
Our good relations with Community Heartbeat strengthen. CREAMER’s funding for community defibrillators continues, bringing our total to 21. It was recently highlighted that the original initiative led by Kelly Bishop and then CREAMER has inspired others, with over 30 placed out in the communities. We shall endeavour to keep this positive impact going.
We look forward to the year ahead, bringing ideas to fruition, and getting back to physical events again, such as our planned defibrillator awareness sessions and stalls at village fetes. We continue to welcome ideas of how CREAMER can help enhance healthcare and wellbeing in our community. Very much looking ahead with optimism and enthusiasm.
Thank you.
Sarah McCarthy
