Trustees’ Annual Report for the Period Ended 31 March 2023

Open an under 8’s training session at our Dojo in Hanham

The numbers did not warrant a separate under 8’s class; this year Hanham club has moved the under 8’s to train with the over 8’s.

Hold the AGM

The AGM was held on 15th January 2023.

Hold an Annual Awards Ceremony

The Committee decided to not hold an annual awards ceremony, but to hold a 30 years party for the club in September 2023. This will be an all-day event, also raising money for a local charity.

Hold Charity Fundraising Events For The Benefit of Local Charities

The Committee switched charities, deciding to benefit Bristol Autism Support. The annual Charity Day raised £1800.

Promote The Various Clubs With Marketing Campaigns and Initiatives

The Clubs at Hanham and Pill were particularly suffering from reduced support. The Committee put on a promotion for new starters offering them the first 4 classes for free. The offer started at the Hanham Club, with the under 8s class, with some success. However, efforts were limited by a lack of internal expertise in advertising and promotion. Therefore, the Organisation looked to its members for volunteers with suitable expertise. A member with an appropriate professional background was stepped forward, so this work will continue into the next period.

Update the Tora Budo Kai Website

The website has not been updated, so this objective is carried over into the next period.

Appoint a New Safeguarding Lead for Tora Budo Kai

The Organisation has appointed a Safeguarding Lead.

Hold Safeguarding Training Sessions For Coaches and Committee Members

All coaches, trustees and committee members have completed a safeguarding course. We will be continuing to update training every 3 years.
