## **COPE Annual Report 2022 – 2023**
Our Social Activities were able to be fully activated over the year with the lifting of all covid restrictions. The social meetings in Queen Ediths and St Ives over the year increased its attendance, and a new social group Victoria Friendship Club has now been established in The Victoria Homes meeting room. Very succesful Lunches were held at The Bar Hill Hotel (Christmas) and Cambridge Regional College (Jubilee). As in previous years Silver Sunday was held in October at which local Care Home residents attended. Unfortunately, due to lack of support the Orwell Friendship has had to close.
Campaigning continued against loss of Cash and Bank Closures and the rapid introduction of digitalisation without thought of those who are not computer literate or cannot afford a computer or smartphone. Fortunately, Talking Together using landline telephones has overcome connecting with members to discuss matters of interest, while the Bi-monthly Newsletter keeps in touch with all members by a printed version and the internet while our website reaches out to all via the world wide web.
Financial Support for administration and production of the Newsletter has been provided by Cambridge City Council, Cambridgeshire County Council, South Cambs District Council and Cambs Community Foundation. Talking Together has been funded by Cambridge City Council, The Evelyn Trust, Albert Hunt Trust, Pye Foundation and Leys School Trust. And a trial Zoom meeting was funded by Cambridge City Council. Members over the year have generously donated to COPE for which we have applied for Gift Aid.
The Executive Committee has lost 3 members over the past two years, leaving only 6 members to ensure COPE can continue to provide services to its members. We need more volunteers from our over 2,700 members to ensure our Committee is able to operate efficiently.
The members of the Committee are: David Bailey (Chairman), Peter Murfitt (Treasurer and Office Manager), Jennie Jenks(Events and AGM organiser), Doreen Ryan, Deborah Katznelson(Talking Together) and Brian Reynolds. Among our stalwart volunteers are Michael Bloy, Monica Rae, Barbara Oliver and Laurence Kidman, with Sally Fenn administrating Talking Together, and Nick Brenton maintaining the Newsletter, website and membership lists.
The membership continues to grow in spite of losing many members through age and illness. As you will note from the attached list, membership is spread throughout the City and County, although it is light in Fenland.
