Summary of the main achievements Para 1.20 We have established our organisation at our
of the charity, identifying the monthly venue where we meet on the second
difference the charity’s work has Tuesday of each month. These meetings include
made to the circumstances of its refreshments, information about our activities and
beneficiaries and any wider benefits listen to a guest speaker, with an opportunity to
to society as a whole. meet up with past colleagues and make new
friends.
Since the Covid pandemic we endeavoured to
keep as many activities as possible going under the
Government guidelines. This has been achieved
though ZOOM, Social Media and direct contact via
email, letters or phone calls where needed. In
addition once the social distancing rules were
lifted the many social groups have begun to return
to their normal activities with face to face
meetings. The membership numbers have begun
to increase and currently we are at 670 after the
decline of members through lockdown and the
Covid pandemic.
The monthly meetings began to take place once
again from October 2021. This meant we were
able to resume face to face meeting with members
after the suspension due to Covid. The
Committee has once again facilitated speakers and
on a monthly basis to give presentations etc.
A Facebook page has been set up for members to
contribute to and keep in touch with each other
and share their news.
Where needed some activities have also been
arranged for members to get together via ZOOM.
Our Treasurer Val Thomas took up office at the
AGM from the past Treasurer David Wright
