Chairs Report for RRFSC AGM - 14th August 2024
Thank you for attending and your support for the charity, which has been running for 25 years.
We have had another busy and successful year supporting the families of Rutland and the surrounding area. The current membership is 128 families and four over-25’s as individual members.
Targeted activities have continued with 29 individuals accessing swimming sessions across the two pools, 18 individuals have been able to access horse riding lessons and 8 individuals have accessed drumming.
Family support has been provided through drop-in sessions and Sunflowers (Sunnies) with 24 families accessing throughout the year.
Family activities included the summer BBQ (thanks to the Owen family for hosting and The Lions Club of Rutland for providing the BBQ), attended by 25 families, a total of 85 people, with four new families.
During the Summer holidays, 26 families accessed activities:
-
Peter le Marchant canal boat trip: seven families (18 individuals)
-
Chat and Chill: nine families (25 individuals)
-
Ferneleys summer get-together: six families (17 individuals)
-
Summer yoga: four individuals
Stay and Play sessions remain one of our most popular activities. These were held in October and May half-term holidays and attended by 16 families.
Only three families joined the trip to West Lodge farm during October half term.
The Christmas lunch at Launde Abbey proved popular once again with 15 families (54 individuals) enjoying their dinner, a short service in the chapel and a visit to Santa. We also shared a Christmas party and disco with Aiming High and a total of 17 families (60 individuals) enjoyed the afternoon.
In January we were invited to the dress rehearsal of Jack and the Beanstalk in Whissendine. This was enjoyed by all ages, a total of 50 people. Many thanks to Jess and Leigh for refreshments.
Other activities throughout the year have included a private cinema viewing (30 individuals), SEND Zoo Lab visit (40 individuals), lambing at Launde, thanks again to the Owen family (44 individuals).
Iin addition, Jess has supported individual families face-to-face, on the telephone and through drop-in sessions with a range of issues and signposted them to other agencies appropriately.
Additional support has been offered by Dr Julian Barwell in the form of genetics counselling and ten families accepted his offer.
Our branding has been developed across all media formats, with the update website, new flyers, banner and logos.
As the accounts show, we have received several donations, including those from Greetham Church and Team Lewis. RRFSC is also the charity of choice for Luffenham Heath Golf Club members teams for 2024. They raise money for a chosen charity each year through their events. We expect to receive a donation at the end of the year.
Sunnies are now under our banner and will be a large part of our offering to early years families. We are delighted to be working with them again.
We are always looking for new committee members if you know of anyone who might be interested please get in touch.
Rutland Rotaract Family Support Centre
Treasurers Report for 2023-2024 financial year
Firstly, |am pleased to say that we have again finished the year in a very strong financial position thanks to a near record level of donations to the Centre.
| would like to thank the various organisations (both old and new) that have been kind enough to support us during the year with donations from; Tesco, HC Beer trust, Sustainable Land Trust, Pilton Church, Greetham PCC, Edith Weston Village, HSBC, and most especially the Marion Elizabeth Trust who have continued to support us again for the last time. Thanks are also due to the individuals who have put our name forward to these organisations. We could not do what we do without you.
| would also like to thank Jess and everyone else responsible for checking that bookings were paid for and the excellent job they have done with this.
The move of office to Oakham Enterprise Park has now bedded in fully and has proved to be very similar in costs to the old location at VAR.
As predicted the inflationary pressures seen in the wider economy have impacted the Centre this financial year. We are seeing significant changes to the costs of our activities and have had to reluctantly increase our charges for activities we provide to keep the level of subsidy ata maintainable level. We have also had the last instalment of the donations from The Marion Elizabeth Trust and so will need to carefully review our activities going forward.
| can confirm that the accounts have been independently examined as required by the Charity Commission by David Falconer who is a Chartered Management Accountant.
| would like to finish by thanking everyone again who has been involved with fundraising or donating to us, it makes my job a lot easier with money in the bank!
