TENDRING ELDERCARE
Tendrln8 Eldercare- Chalrman's Report
l am proud to present this reTK)rt as Chainnan of Tendring Eldercare, reflecting on anoiher year of
progress, challenges, and achievements for this incredible charity. Each year brings its own hurdl¢s,
yet l am continually inspired by how our team, volunteers, and supporters come together to ensure we
deliver our vitsl services to the residents of T¢ndring.
This year, as detailed in Section 5.. Wages and Salaries, we experienced a significanl reduction in
slatTing at our Well-Being & Respite Day Centre. While this was largely due to staff retirements and
changes in personal circuTnstances, the primary reasoii for this was the long-terni impact of COVID-
19, which has continu¢d to affcct staffing l¢v¢ls across many organisations like ours.
Lkspite these challenge4 l am pleased to report that we maintained the quality and breadth of our
services withoui disruption. This was achieved througl) careful pl&nning* the remarkable dedication of
our remaining staff. and the enthusiastic contributio1)8 of an increased number of volunteers. By
updating L)ur working methods and adopting more efficient practices, we ensured that the high
standards of care our community relies on remained unchanged.
Post-COVID Recovery
The aftemiath ofthe COVID-19 pandemic has presented orkgoing ditYiculti¢s for or8anisalions across
the country. and T¢iidring Eldercare lias been no exception. However, l am ¢onfid¢nt that we have
navigated these challenges effectively. The generous support we have r¢c¢ived frotn the publi¢ has
been nothing short of extraordinary. and l extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has helped us
during this period.
Relocatlon to StephensoD R04d
This y¢ar, the trustees made the strategic d¢cision to sell our lease at Kingston House. Wliile Kingston
House has been an important part of our history, the building no longer met our evolving needs. W¢
have sin¥¢ Inoved lo a new, reiited facility on Stephenson Road, Clacton-on-sea, which is ideally
suited io our current operhtion.s. This new location serves as A Central hub for our Well-Being &
Respite Day Centre and our administrative offices, providing us with a modern and functional base for
our work.
Looking Ahelld
l am optiinistic about the future of Tendi'ing E]de￿are. We remain committed to supporting the old¢r
Inembers of our ¢ommunity and adapting to their needs in an cver-¢hanging environmeiit. Our
resilience, combincd with the unwa*¢rin8 SUPPOrt of our donors, volunteers, and staff, gives me great
confidence in our ability to continue delivering the care and companionship that define our mission.
I am deeply grateful to all who ¢ontribute to our work, from truslees and staff to our incredible
volunteers and supporters. Together. w¢ will continue lo make a positive differ¢nc¢ in the liyes of
older people in Tendring.
Thank you for your on8oing trust and support.
