To relieve the charitable needs of people in the area ofwesl Berkshire & Hampshire by the provision of advice
and services calculated lo relieve such needs.
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, tn￿lees, 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
ove￿helMlngIY positive, with l 00 % of respondents saying they would recommend the event, solidifying its place
as a key annual initiative for the sector.
