## Trustee Report for 2021 The New Year didn’t so much ‘start’ as ‘continue’ in much the same vein as had the old one! As with all voluntary organisations, sadly our income stream continued to suffer well into the last quarter of the year: Our first public event not taking place until early June, with many scheduled events being cancelled one after another throughout: This was most noticeable with our local Hospices who cancelled pretty much everything on their calendars, trying to do the right thing We had a significant snow event in early February which required most of our 4x4-owning members to be on standby and actively deployed, plus Controllers, over three days. Tasks continuing from a very lean 2020 included our help with trailer-loads of produce to the Teapot Project. The Team was called upon multiple times to assist with parking and visitor management at an Ipswich Covid Vaccination Centre from January to April. These are very good inclusive events for the team as it’s a time when any member can provide help even if not able to drive or own a car. Later in the year the Team was tasked to provide vehicles to local ‘pop-up’ vaxx centres targeting areas of low takeup of vaccine, as a means of the less-mobile being able to attend and get jabbed. We assisted some new clients too, including East Anglian Air Ambulance and East Anglian Children’s Hospice to name just a couple. We managed to fit in some training again during July, thanks to the kind offer from Trinity Park, Ipswich, of camping space and use of their off-road course for 3 days. Subjects included navigation, recovery, traffic management and off-road driving. All in all, we lost a large portion of our annual events but it was to be expected and we did gain some too. Our long-postponed AGM finally took place in the November. Membership of the team continued stable through 2021 but it is clear that this is no longer enough and that in order for the Team to grow we can't just rely on active taskings to attract members and must actively promote ourselves. Moving into 2022 and beyond, it is our intention to try and attend at least three ‘promotion-only’ events annually to recruit new members. 2021 CODE CHARGES DONATIONS EVENTS INTEREST MEMBERSHIP OTHER Cash Bank Total £0.00 £0.00 £1,959.03 £0.00 £2ll.641 £0.00 £- £ 1,959.03 Income £ 211.64 £0.00 £2,170.67 £2,170.67 ADVERTISING £0.00 £0.00 £0.00 £0.00 £0.00 £266.48 £0.00 £1,041.10 £0.00 £563.25 £0.00 E15.84 £0.00 £116.40 £0.00 £50.00 £0.00 £0.00 £0.00 £o.ool £266.48 £1,041.10 £563.251 £15.841 £116.40 | £50.00 £0.00 CLOTHING COMMS FUELIMILEAGE Expenditure INSURANCE pps SAFETY SUNDRY WEB Total £0.00 £2,053.07 £2,053.07 Cash Cheques ' Total £0.00 Deposits BANKING £0.00 £0.00 Balances Opening . balance Cash Bank Total £9.33 £3,252.80 £3.370.40 £3,262.13 £3,379.73 Closing balance £9.33
