Charity's Activities and Achievemellts During the Year It's hard to believe that a year has passed since I wrote my first overview as CEO. What an eventful and rewarding year it has been as we marked our charity's 50th anniversary, celebrated the dedication of our incredible volunteers, and bid farewell to departing staff, tnlees, and volunteers while wannly welcoming new faces into the fold. We continue to provide essential transport services for elderly and vulnerable residents, thanks to our devoted team of volunteer drivers who support regular trips for shopping. social events, and local groups. This year, we've seen an increase in requests for our Chairn]an vehicle and more demand for hospital visits across Berkshire and Hampshire. In the past year, we've supported 462 individuals with volunteering advice-an increase of 59 from last year- and maintained a comprehensive database of 365 active volunteering opportunitie5 across 48 parishes. Our Flcxitccring scheme has continued to offcr fl¢xible. short-teTm voluntccring options. and our engagcmcnt throu&Jh events and partnerships has been key in promoting volunteering across West Berkshire. Our annual V365 Tecruitment fair at The Corn Exchangc ivas a major success oncc again. With strong fccdback from both organisations and attcndees, the event provided 55 chaTlties the opportunity to engage with 297 attendees, leading to numerous volunteer placeTnents. We've also made significant strides in mental health awareness, delivering 12 Suicide First Aid courses across West Berkshire, reaching a broad range of organisations and seclors. Our outreach worker has been instrumental in fostering strategic partnerships, attending professional development events, and distributing essential resources to promote suicide prevention. This year, we rther strengthened the relationships between the VCSE sector, local authorities, and statutory bodies through regular forlllns and strategic board involvement. We've supported over 65 organisations with advice, connections, and promotion while planning improvements to our systems and exploring lldIng for a new training facilitator to expand our CVS capacity. The Meet the Funder Day continues to be a highlight, bringing together seven funders and 27 VCSE organisations. It provided a fantastic platform for relationship-building and practical fundraising guidance. Feedback was ovehelMlngIY positive, with l 00 % of respondents saying they would recommend the event, solidifying its place as a key annual initiative for the sector.
