Summary ofthe main		Due to a comprehensive review ofour client database in 2021-22
achievements ofthe charity		we ended the year with 260 clients, down from 301at the end of
during the year		last year, however we did take on 35 new clients during the year—
		which was the single biggest new annual intake for some years.
		We continued to promote our services and plan more outreach	for
		the coming year.
		We managed 889engagements for 96ofour clients compared	to
		893engagements to 80clients last year.
		We hosted 3events, which were 2tea parties and a Christmas
		Carol Service and tea which were attended by 75 clients.
		We continued to offer telephone befriending, but many ofour
		volunteers and clients finally got to meet face to face again. We
		also started doing regular driving ofclients for their booster jabs,
		hospital and doctors' appointments and drove clients to clubs and
		activities which started slowly re-opening

			Ofthe	889engagements this year,
			~	272 ofthese were medical appointments (up from 130last
				year) attended by 49 clients, there were
			~	51 (up from 2) lifts for recreational purposes for 11clients,
				and
			~	154shops for 16clients, which was an expected decrease
				due to lock down restrictions lifting and the success ofthe
				vaccination programme, this compared with 277 shops for
				32 clients the previous year
			~	Our Befriending service remained strong this year, and we
				undertook 403 visits and calls to 24 clients, which compares
				to 485 last year for 29clients, again this decrease due to
				covid restrictions being liRed.
			At Christmas we hand delivered cards and a hamper or gift to over 150households. This was thanks to the generosity of Gumley
			house	school and The Equippers Church who collected food and
			gifts for us to distribute.
			We ended the year with 38 active volunteers', comprising 20
			drivers,	9office volunteers and 9 befrienders and shoppers. This
			year we were also pleased to welcome 4 new volunteers to the
			network.
			We agreed our premises lease with Richmond Council in August
			2021 and effective as ofApril 2020 we are now paying rent,
			although	we have agreed a rebate with the council so we get the
			full rent	refunded at present.
			We reviewed the Trustees policy on reserves and now have 6
			months	expenditure as a reserve amount which reflects the latest
			Charity	Commission guidelines.
