Chair Report year ending 2024
At the end of 2024, Tiggers is in its 19[th] year.
I would like to say thank you to all our parents, members and our small but dedicated team of volunteers, who have kept us in operation.
Our running costs continue to increase and we are wholly dependent on grants, fundraising and donations. Many thanks to The Three Guineas Trust, without whom our Holiday Programme would not run. This provides an opportunity for families to access activities, with people who know and understand the challenges families face.
We have also received donations from The Sunrise Rotary Club, Beaverbrooks, Great Marton Lodge, The Houndshill Shopping Centre and Glasdon. This has been supplemented by donations and collection boxes. As ever, we need our members to help find funding streams and grants.
This year, our long standing coaches, Dave and Jackie, retired for a much earned rest, although they are still available for holiday cover. Donna is now our only regular level 2 coach, and along with her role as Secretary, we are grateful for her energy and time. With Emma she also organises the holiday programme. Many thanks also to Lee for his handyman services rebuilding the allotment, another venue for our members to enjoy. Thanks also to Hilary, invaluable in her role as Treasurer.
Blackpool Tiggers was started as there was a need to provide support for families living with autism. 19 years on, there is much wider recognition, yet our families tell us of the difficulties in gaining a diagnosis and the help they need at home and school. Nothing seems to have changed. Some of us have been involved for all that 19 years and are close to retirement age. Tiggers is always a parent led charity and we need them to continue the legacy we have created. We always need more coaches, yet the number continues to dwindle. Please get in touch if you, or someone you know, would like to train to assist alongside our long term volunteer Abi.
Suzanne Pinder, Chair
