CHAIRMANS REPORT. SGNS 2025/26
In May 2025 we took a trip of about 20 residents for a fish and chip lunch at The Pilot in Dungeness. This was greatly enjoyed by everyone. We haven’t made any plans for any further trips or outings but this will be discussed today at the AGM.
We have given regular lifts to various residents for medical appointments.
We continue to support an elderly resident every week by taking her to the Community shop. This is a life line for her: she seems to enjoy these trips and has built up a good relationship with all our volunteers.
The Drop In is running along and Gill Bromley organises a rota for volunteers to open/lock each week which seems to be working well.
The Afternoon Club runs well and is well attended.
We wish to thank all of our volunteers for their time, effort and community spirit over the last year, without them the scheme would not run. Especially to Teresa for handling the rotas and to Bob for his work and time. Bob continues to keep our finances in order and we have had a change in company structure which Bob can comment on in the meeting
Its great to have a new volunteer Vicky.
