Ellesmere Port & Neston Community Transport Ltd Annual Review March 14th 2022
This year’s report and meeting will be conducted electronically due to the Corvid 19 virus situation and the restrictions imposed to contain the spread of the virus.
There are no written officer reports as such this year due to the circumstances we still find ourselves operating in and the restrictions on face to face meetings.
We have had a similar year to the previous one with the continuing Covid 19 pandemic still affecting the population, our working abilities and operating procedures.
The School Bus Club was stopped for the duration of the school closures which obviously had an impact of our revenue streams but the volunteers stepped up again and operated a car scheme medicines pick up / drop off with the local surgeries and pharmacies for clients in the Neston & Ellesmere Port areas. We were also allowed to take folks to and from hospital appointments under strict covid procedures. Thanks especially to Guy, Dave, Les and all the volunteers for their outstanding work during this difficult time.
We sadly lost one of our longest serving volunteers, Vince Stonely. Our condolences to his family, on the loss of such a brilliant, kind person.
We thank our accountant Andrew for the work he has carried out with Pat and Brenda during the year, and for the work on the year end accounts.
The Board members are working on various bids and grant applications at the moment and we are optimistic about the future.
Proposal & Election of Ofcers : As Covid has restricted us in our work output, the Board members have agreed that we will continue with the following this year.
Graham Fair will remain as Chairperson and the Board members will stay in post and the situation will be reviewed next year.
