REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
It's been another busy year at the charity with many new initiatives to support the many families who visit the
centre.
We are very pleased with appointment of All￿ (Family Worker - funded by Global) she has brought many new
ideas
and contacts she has built strong relationships with the families. We were sad to leam of the death of Rosie an
ex-charity worker at the beginning of the academic year.
The list of volunteers continues to grow taking on a number of roles. Thanks lo Melody who negotiated a good
deal on blinds for our upstairs room and for fitting them. as well as carrying out odd jobs around the building.
Strong links have been made with local businesses. Wickes carried out some redecoration as well as providing
some colourful murals. The local Morrisons has been a major contributor to the non-food bank and Avon funded
the 'Professional Pathways, project.
The Slay and Play sessions continue to be very well attended, and a record system has been developed to
record the impact thal these sessions are having on the children's physical. social. emotional and intellectual
development.
Under the guidance of Nic the aftemoon craft sessions are growing in popularity and their work can be seen
around the Annexe.
The grants from Anchor Butter and Sainsburys have been used to fund the family breakfast sessions and
during the summer holidays breakfast boxes were distributed to 20 families.
The 50 Families project was launched in July with 20 families attending. The initial session was a greal
success, a cookery session was planned, and each family received an air fryer funded by'Food for Heros..
The Young Murns projed goes from strength to strength and strong links have been made with Homestsrt who
work in partnership with Springs.
A suc￿Ssful 'Road to Receplion. programme was organised in June and July, it was well attended. Families
received a school uniform and there has been positive feedback frorn the schools which the children transferred
to.
I'm sure that all the Trustees would support me in thanking Tracey for her commitment to the charity, her strong
leadership and hard work. She is a positive role model for everyone involved with Springs and because of this
the charity goes from strength to strength and it's reputation is spreading across a number of outside agencies.
