Annual Report 2022
When I wrote last year’s report we were two weeks into lockdown and little did I expect to be writing this one with the situation proving difficult for some. But there is hope now that things will improve; most of our users and volunteers will have had vaccination jabs which will help give some protection to us all.
Obviously over the last year the Voluntary Help Centre has had to adapt to the changing situation. We have been unable to resume lunch club,
The car service has been quiet compared to pre pandemic because most appointments at hospitals, dentists, GP surgeries and hairdressers were cancelled, but this has been picking up over the last few weeks as we all try to return to some sort of normality. For those interested in statistics our drivers have driven almost thirty two thousand miles and carried two thousand passengers which is double the previous year.
Some of our drivers continued their volunteering by helping out local shops with food deliveries during the lockdowns.
As always my thanks go to Flic and Sarah for their work in maintaining the services of the VHC and also Carole for her help on Fridays, as well as the Trustees for their continued support.
As can be seen from the accounts our finances are in good health and with the funds invested the future of the VHC is secure for several years to come.
This is my last report because at the end of March 2022 I stepped down from my role as chairman. Due to changes in our charity status I have been in office much longer than is normal, not that I am complaining as I have thoroughly enjoyed the last eight years. During that time I have seen many changes both in the office and to the membership of the trustees and I wish the VHC many more years of continued success in supporting the community.
To all of our volunteers and supporters on behalf of the Trustees, I would like to thank you for everything you do to support the work of the Voluntary Help Centre and it is my sincere wish that when next year’s report is written, life will have returned to normal.
