Over the past eighteen months, we have faced challenges as we navigate our way through the Cost of Living Crisis. We have continued to diversify the way in which we support our members, and this includes continuing to offer an online zoom programme each month, where our members can engage in a variety of activities. We have also been able to bring back more social events and day trips as the Covid-19 pandemic appears to have subsided.
We have, however, faced significant financial challenges which have required the Board to have to, at times, make difficult decisions. However, I am pleased to say that we have managed to secure funding which will allow us to continue operating into the next financial year. We continue to explore funding opportunities, though at times, this can be an arduous challenge. Referrals are increasing and we are continuing to face difficulties in recruiting volunteers. Despite this, we are immensely grateful to the volunteers who do support our members as they are enabling these individuals to be able to engage in learning or leisure opportunities of their choice, therefore, in some cases, decreasing feelings of loneliness and social isolation.
We continue to have a staff team of three and our Board of Trustees is currently made up of six trustees, who meet regularly to discuss progress and any challenges that the charity may face.
We are, and will continue to be, a charity that supports adults living with physical disabilities in Oxfordshire, regardless of who they are.
