CONTACT: SELSDON CHURCHES NEIGHBOURHOOD CARE Report of the Directors for the year ended 31 March 202S (continued) Risk Policy The Directors recognise that in today's litigious society there is a need to ensure that none of the services provided causes a level of dissatisfaction that might prompt a client to take legal action against Contact. The Directors have always maintained a'hands on approach, land continue so to dol to the management of Contact thereby ensuring that none ofthe services and help provided is beyond the capability of a good neighbour. The Directors also ensure that the staff, who provide assistance with completion of application forms for state benefits for example, have access to and undertake regular training. The Directors regularly review the risks and appropriate action is taken to mitigate them.

Acting Chair's Report for the year ended 31 March 2025. The beginning of 2025 was marred by the very sad news of the death of He5en Lishmund, our Chair of Trustees. Helen had been Chair for almost ten years and had guided Contact with efficiency and good humour. She is much missed, not only by Contact but by the many other organisations in which she was involved. Contact is especially appreciative of the generosity of Helen's family and many friends who made donations to Contact in her memory. As ever, the Contact office has been very busy supporting our clients and responding to the many queries from Selsdon residents. Jasmine Singh as manager and Nina Gibson as her deputy manage the office with great efficiency, while Suzy Quigley oversees our IT and ensures we comply with General Data Protection Regulation. They are all a great asset to Contact and without their combined skills we could not offer the same range of services. We are fortunate in having a committed band of volunteers who give freely of their time in many different ways. A loyal band of office volunteers support Jasmine, Nina and Suzy, responding to our clients in a cheerful and friendly manner, dealing with a variety of requests and arranging all kinds of support. Yet more volunteers act as drivers, both of the minibus and individually taking clients to medical appointments. Our shopping bus schemes would not be possible without the support of the drivers and escorts. Our programme of activities, from the monthly coffee morning through a number of outings throughout the year to our Christmas party, is facilitated by the neighbourly, good natured care from all the volunteers about whom clients often comment. The number of clients registered with us remains fairly constant at about 300, many of whom live alone. The various services described above are all intended to assist clients maintain their independence, and to help alleviate isolation and loneliness. All our clients are called at least once every three months, and more frequently if circumstances have changed, for example following discharge from hospital. Clients value these calls, knowing there is always 'someone who cares,. Following the loss of financial support from Croydon Council, the Trustees took the decision to phase in the use of the reserves and to seek funding where possible from charitable foundations and trusts. We are grateful to The Ros Harding Trust, The Albert Hunt Trust and Croydon Relief in Need who have all made grants to Contact. The Village Club in Selsdon adopted Contact as their local charity and recently made a very generous donation following a year of fundraising activities. Donations from St Mary's lunch club and Café Columba have similarly been gratefully received. As an additional source of funds Friends of Contact was launched. We have been gratified by the generous support from clients, volunteers and friends who have pledged regular donations. Much time is spent researching trusts and charitable foundations who will fund the voluntary sector. Many potential funders understandably look for time- limited and well defined projects and few support core or running costs. It is not easy to 'package' the variety of services offered by Contact into such projects. The search continues.
As our name indicates, we are well supported by the local churches. We are indebted to the churches (St John's, St Francis, St Columba's, Selsdon Baptist Church and Croydon Jubilee Church) for their financial and prayerful support and for raising our profile. We have also welcomed the opportunity to use the different church halls (without charge) as venues for meetings, the coffee morning and social occasions for our clients. In the short time I have been acting as Chair of Trustees, it has been a pleasure to work with such an enthusiastic Board of Trustees who display a wide array of skills. Thanks are due to Maureen Stagg who minutes our proceedings with clarity and accuracy. Jasmine, Nina and Suzy and a great team of office volunteers are keen to support our clients in so many different ways and we have a great band of volunteers without whom Contact could not function. Thank you to each and every one. God bless you all Christine Waring. Acting Chair of Trustees. io
