ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 2024-2025

The year of this report commenced on the 1[st] April 2024 with a new Board of Trustees and the 1[st] Meeting was held on the 4[th] April. It was a fairly long meeting as the Chairman introduced the new Trustees to many of the historical factors of the JPK.

Since then and very much like previous years, 2024/25 had been extremely challenging yet exciting, as much progress had been made to fulfil the initial dreams and aspirations of the JPK Sussex Project, especially in regard to the completion of Gow Lodge, Supported Living Centre, for adults with a learning disability in Eastbourne for those who had been living in the surrounding areas. Some adaptations had to be made to two of the flats and a further flat had to be constructed from the laundry and store room, which led to some slight disruption. Gow Lodge is now complete with 7 Tenants in residence.

PATRONAGE:

Dame Jane Gow, DBE continues as our Patron and we are ever grateful for her patronage, advice and support. She has visited the JPK twice during the year and was delighted to view the completed Gow Lodge and meet several of the tenants. Dame Jane has been kept appraised of all our news throughout the year and responds on a regular basis.

TRUSTEES:

During the year the Trustees have continued to manage the JPK, meeting bi-monthly and discussing any pressing matters via email.

The Trustees for this current year are: Miss K Broughton Dr AP Parker (deceased 1/9/2024) Mrs J Parker Chairman/Secretary Mr W Poll Miss F Price Finance Director Mrs C Priscott Mr G Priscott Mr l Watts

Patrick Parker had been a Trustee since the inception of the JPK Charity and he has been sorely missed as a Trustee, with his wise and experienced considerations at Board Meetings and everything else he undertook behind the scenes to ensure the success of the JPK. May he Rest in Peace and our grateful thanks for his support and everything he has undertaken over many years.

External Advisors:

Accountant – Mr John Males BS (Hons) ACS Watson Associates Solicitor – Mrs Christine Haniver Chartered Legal Executive – Willing Legal Services Insurance – Mr Richard Dew – Retired April 2025

Our grateful thanks to all our External Advisors for their valuable advice and support over the year and especially to John Males, Accountant, for his continued advice and undertaking our Accounts pro bono, with the support of Fay Price.

We should also like to thank Cris Haniver for her support, assistance and friendship over many years as a Trustee.

PROGRESS REPORT:

Phase 1: Community Training Centre (CTC)

Sadly the CTC had remained closed as a Training Centre for the majority of the year, whilst the Trustees grappled with many suggestions as to what the JPK could undertake within this space. It was obvious that entertaining another hospitality venture, although the training and work experience for adults with a learning disability was a great success, was not an option. We had several companies who wished to lease the area for retail, but the Trustees felt that this would not fulfil the aims objectives of the JPK to provide a service for the learning disabled.

Patrick had always subscribed to Leasing the CTC to a like minded charity, which would produce an income to support the overheads, yet also fulfil the aims and objectives of the JPK.

We were approached during the year by the CEO of SASBAH, Sussex Association for Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus and learning disabilities, who had to leave their current premises and were looking for a new site for their 30 year old charity. Negotiations took place and they moved to the JPK in January 2025. SASBAH provide training and work experience for adults with learning disabilities and all allied handicaps and undertake many more activities, both on and off site and our tenants have also benefitted from much of this. The JPK continues to use the facilities when required for any fund raising events and activities, when the CTC is not in use by SASBAH. This is proving to be a very successful partnership.

Daisy Chain Gift Shop:

The Daisy Chain Gift Shop opened its doors to the public again in January but has been moved into the Entrance Hall, which was an area not being used. SASBAH manages the Gift Shop and it has become very popular with the public, staff and tenants. The students have the opportunity to make jewellery and cards for sale.

Phase 2: Supported Living Centre – Gow Lodge.

Gow Lodge has prospered during the year and all the tenants have built friendships and are thoroughly enjoying their lives with very many activities added to their curriculum, both internally and externally.

This is due to the excellent management and staff team.

Gow Lodge Garden

The garden was officially opened on 6[th] July by Cllr Pritchett, Chairman of Willingdon and Jevington Parish Council, with family and friends and honoured guests, with a BBQ. This area has been well used during the warm summer months. Retractable washing lines have been provided, which enables the tenants to hang out their washing for freshness and savings on electrical bills. Our grateful thanks to everyone who donated to make this possible

Gow Lodge Electric Car

This was purchased and has been well used during the year. Our grateful thanks to everyone who donated to this.

JPK and SASBAH Christmas Party with Buffet Supper and Disco was held on Friday,

13[th] December. A fun packed evening was had by all, with tenants, students, families and friends.

FUNDRAISING:

The JPK has continued to fundraise when opportunities have become available and have applied to various Grant Making Trusts to support the Garden and the Car and Charger.

Grant Donations received during the year:

Garden Furniture CTC Kitchen

Car Charger Car Car Solar Panels Garden Furniture

T Dunford J Dunford E&D Houghton P Adlam I Collins Dame J Gow Eastbourne Lottery Utility Warehouse Just Giving Clients Deposit CAF Cheque Easy Fundraising R&J Laughton R Bungard S Barrow S Anderson Gill Davies E Betts J Constance PA&SR Evans

Collecting Tins:

 Triangle CooP £272.50  E/B Bowls £ 70.00  M Brooks £ 57.83  M Langford-Noakes £114.50 Gift Aid Reclaim HMRC £13,666.91

Our very grateful thanks to everyone who has donated and supported the JPK during 2024/25 and for the additional Gift Aid. Without your generosity we could not have

achieved the purchasing of the furniture for the garden and purchased our on car for the use of our tenants, You have a all made a difference to the lives of so many people.

Further fundraising has commenced to supply Solar Panels on the roof of the Community Training Centre (CTC), which will eventually reduce the costs on electricity supplies to the CTC and Gow Lodge communal rooms, laundry and office.

MEETING REGULARLY ATTENDED:

Disability Involvement Group (DIG) (EBC)

This meeting is held regularly throughout the year where the Chairman attends. It is a strategic meeting where the JPK can be kept abreast of any community and legislative changes and can also be the voice of parent carers and people with a learning disability. This group is also consulted on any changes within the community and can advise the statutory agencies.

The JPK is also called upon to support and advise families and those with learning disabilities on available services and funding issues.

The Chairman has continued to undertake various ‘talks’ in the community to groups and associations when invited, to ‘spread the word’ of the JPK and the needs of the learning disabled. These talks have also encouraged the community to undertake fundraising initiatives on our behalf.

NEWSLETTER:

The quarterly Newsletter is distributed to all interested parties, donors and volunteers. Membership has slightly decreased during the last year to 225, being distributed by post or by email, the latter which obviously saves costs on postage, paper and envelopes. Email distribution has increased to over 50% of the total and we are grateful to Ann Lindsay who undertakes the mailings and to Jason who undertakes the emails.

We are grateful to Ann and Robert Lindsay who continue to sponsor our stationary and postage for the ‘snail mails’!

DATA PROTECTION:

The JPK adheres to all the legislation for data protection by anyone holding data on individuals. By necessity the JPK has to comply with the Data Protection Legislation, (GDPR) This notice continues to be included in all our Newsletters. We now always ask new contacts if they would like to receive the newsletter and explain GDPR. Should anyone no longer wish to be on our mailing list for Newsletters or Information, either by email or ‘snail mail’, we ask that they contact us and we will delete their contact details from our data base. The JPK is very strict in regard to data protection and we never pass on any contact details without personal confirmation that we may so do.

GRAPHIC DESIGN:

For the last 40 years Mick Cooke has undertaken all the EAPAG and JPK graphic designs for our posters, leaflets, booklets and signage, as a donation. Sadly he has now retired and no longer has all the necessary computer programs to be able to undertake this. Our very grateful thanks to Mick for supporting these two charities for so many years.

If you know of anyone who can assist us in this area in the future, please let me know.

JPK WEBSITE:

During the previous year our website was maliciously taken down and we are currently in the process of re-building it. The process has been slow but we hope to have it fully functional next year.

IT SUPPORT:

During the previous year, regretfully all our IT systems were maliciously taken down and therefore at great expense we had to employ the Focus Group to re-place all the equipment and they now manage the systems for us.

PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE:

The JPK throughout the year has been insured with Aviva through Chris Knott Insurance, for Trustee, Public Liability, Products and Pollution.

POLICIES:

Conflict of Interest Policy

Confidential Policy

Equality and Diversity Policy

Data Protection Policy

Volunteer Policy

Governance and Management Policy

Funding Strategy

Health and Safety Policy

Risk Assessments On Going

Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults Policy

DBS CHECKS:

The JPK undertakes Enhanced DBS Checks on all its Trustees, Staff and Volunteers.

IN SUMMARY:

Over the year the Trustees especially and Associates, remained totally committed to managing the JPK Charity and all that it entails, to support people with a learning disability in all aspects of their lives, to ensure that their lives are fulfilling and they continue to learn.

Due to the fact that the JPK had to undertake a loan agreement at the end of the previous year and therefore having to make repayments on a monthly basis, finances early in this year were fairly tight. However, with careful budgeting and the ongoing

support of the local community, our supporters and the JPK fundraising opportunities, we find ourselves, at the end of this current year, in a much better financial situation.

Our grateful thanks to Fay Price, our Bookkeeper, who has seen us through, during this difficult period.

MyPesp has become an excellent Care Provider, the lives of the tenants have been enhanced and a very happy group has been established, with the support of the Staff Team.

SASBAH have settled in well and several of the tenants from Gow Lodge have started to attend some of the activities that SASBAH provide.

The Trustees will be discussing and planning future opportunities for the JPK and seeking to provide further services for the learning disabled in the area, as it remains clear that there are still gaps and shortfalls in services.

I am eternally grateful for the continued support and dedication of all the Trustees, Professional Advisors and now our excellent Staff Team, plus the community at large.

Together we have and are achieving the aims and objectives for which we initially planned.

Together we stand, divided we fall! We have and shall continue to succeed.

Mrs Jill Parker MBE

Chairman to the Trustees 2024-2025.
