||
| Summary | ofthe main | Poole Wau Partnership has had a productive year. Building on the |
|
| achievements in relation to these objects |
re-energising effect ofthe NBG Bishops visit in August 2022 we were able to push ahead with the fundraising for our current project, the |
||
| building programme for the StJohn's extension. BySeptember of 2022 the walls had been completed. In January 2023we sent f12,300for the roofing ofthe building. This sum included a grant of E6,500form the Slavanka Trust. ByApril 2023the roofing work had |
|||
| been finished and we received some excellent pictures as evidence. |
|||
| We were delighted at how quickly the college was able to get the |
|||
| work done once they had received the funds from PWP. In May |
|||
| 2023, the Trustees agreed to commence fundraising forthe final |
|||
| stage ofthe project (the windows and doors and the installation ofthe |
|||
| ceiling) with atarget off20,000to be raised. In addition to fundraising |
|||
| within the Deanery, an application fora grant was made to the Charis |
|||
| Trust and F5,000was received. Bythe end ofthe period covered by |
|||
| this report (October 2023)we were well on our way to achieving our |
|||
| target. | |||
| At the same time as we were progressing the SiJohn's extension |
|||
| project, we were able to increase our regular donation to StJohn's | |||
| College running costs. For some time this had stood atf17,000per year and we raised this tof18,000to take account ofthe increased |
|||
| costs at the college. | |||
| Our prime fundraising event, the Holes Bay sponsored walk, was held |
|||
| in July as usual with a good number ofwalkers and sponsors. This | |||
| raised a commendable F3,721. The only other fundraising event, the |
|||
| sale ofjams and cakes at the Garden Party by Judy Hudson raised |
|||
| funds specifically for sponsoring female students at StJohn's College. |
|||
| The other main financial decision made by the trustees during the |
|||
| year was the agreement to not make any new donations in future to |
|||
| specified individuals for education programmes. Itwas proving very |
|||
| difficult and a considerable administrative burden to track these and |
|||
| obtain satisfactory evidence ofappropriate expenditure. Existing |
|||
| commitments would continue until completed. |
|||
| Our finances ended this year on a sound footing in no small measure |
|||
| due to the work ofour Treasurer. | |||
| The monthly prayer meeting continued throughout the year. We |
|||
| alternated between the Zoom prayer meetings that we began during |
|||
| the Covid period and face toface meetings. The face-to-face |
|||
| meetings were generally better attended. |
|||
| In terms ofcommunications, the website continued to attract a good number of 'hits' particularly around the time ofthe issue ofthe |
|||
| Newsletters which were now distributed via the website. The uali |
