This has lar8ely proved to be the case. but there Ikive been other more unpredictsble matters to be managed during the year. One of the most Si8nificant the reti￿rnent of Chris 8u5St in June 2023. In fact. this w?sn't unpredictablè tr￿aUSe Chris had been considering the move for some t6me. However. when tslk tums to decisKJns about dates, that concentrntes minds wonderfulty. Chris had been almost gynonymous wlth Shencare Since early In its hlstory and what It has becolne is entlrety a (￿allOn of him. Th@ Board 15 deeply 8rateful to Chris for all the v40rk that he has done over the years to steer shen￿re through a nurnber of changes and transfomHtions which literally have kpt the wheels rollin8. He was alway5 goin8 to be a difficult person to replace, but in the restructuring and management chan8es that wère made to attommodaté thls under Paul Lakln, the challenges and risks have been successfulty navigated and the wheels are stlll rolling. One of the major challenges faced by Paul and his team has been Birmlngham City Council's home to school Servi￿ contracts. These have been tn a state of uncertainty for some time and 2023124 ha5 been no eX￿ptIOft. The City Council failed to meet its own contract renewal timetable and nilaterally rolled fon¥ard the 2022123 contracts with no uplift in priees. The fart that l am writin8 this report is confirmation of the fact that Paul and his team managed to find a way around this problem, maintaining the service and hence the reputstion of Shencare. Not all of the unforeseen evet)ts knwever were bad news. One good news item that eame oirt of the blue was a notification from the Postcode Lottery that they were giving us a donation of £42.OIXI as part of their charr¢able actlvFties. The money. wIthO￿ any srrtn8s attached. arrr¥ed in our bank account In December and ￿rnaIns the￿ whlle we conslder how to best use It for the greate5E benefft to Shencare. Lookln8 fon¥ard to the next financlal year, the perennlal problems of repFa¢ing fvnding streams which have come to an end with new ones will rem6in. Arrangements for the new City Council's new home to sthool eontrntts will pre￿nt Challenges. Paul and his team will remain but l am confident that fhrough thelr efforts the wheels wlll tontlnue to roll. John Orchard November, 2023.
