Marvels and Meltdowns Autism & ADHD Family Support AGM Chair and Treasurer Report May 1st 2020 – 30th April 2021
Shandrika Day Volunteer Charity Chair and Monique Owen Volunteer Charity Treasurer
We have said goodbye to what can only be described as a turbulent year last year, which consisted of a lot of report writing, waiting and changes.
We started of this year off in the middle of a global pandemic which will go down in history and during that time Marvels was in a state of limbo, not having a home anymore as such.
We found ourselves staying home to stay safe and found this fantastic tool called ZOOM where we could still stay in contact with people on a level, we managed to source some funding from the police & crime commissioner to continue with our parent/carer support groups via this mode for the foreseeable future, which proved a great success. Nothing beats face to face meetings with a cuppa and a smile, but this was the best we could do for a long while and it worked.
ZOOM also enabled us to carry out a children’s party, our first ever virtual party which was a great success, all ages joined in with the activities and saw them running round. The house searching for various objects in a scavenger hunt, thank you to Becky for organising and facilitating this.
It was through ZOOM that we had our meeting with Gosport Borough Council that was to determine the fate of our future, which was to take over a long-term lease on one of their council owned buildings. After a lengthy meeting, then a few more days for their deliberation we got the great news that they would be happy to lease to Marvels and Meltdowns 1 Phoenix Way in Bridgemary, we would like to say a big thank you to Gosport Voluntary Action for their continued support throughout the last year in particularly. All we had to do now was wait for the lease and get the keys.
Whilst waiting for the next chapter to start in the charities journey things were rather quiet as was most of the world, we managed to keep the ZOOM meetings going as well as add in a cheeky little fundraiser that got families out and about on their bikes, walking and running with our 50 miles for Marvels event , this was a brilliant success not only in raising money but getting people out and having positive effects on mental health whilst staying safe during the pandemic.
Throughout our time of limbo and only when legally we were allowed to, we managed to find a temporary home for our support group meetings, for this I would like to say a huge thank you to Tina and Darren of the Carisbrooke Arms for allowing us to use their private function room so that we could once again provide a safe space to host our meetings when COVID-19 allowed.
Fast forward to 11[th] February 2021 and it’s moving day. We got the keys to what was a run down, filthy looking shack that we would make home.
We were successful in a wonderful community funding event – The Great Bridgemary Fund Off where we won the bid for £4000 towards our new kitchen.
Our Fabulous new funding bid writer Jacky was successful on her first funding application with us for £10,000,which half of that was for new toilet facilities within the building to which I must say a very big thank you and long may it continue.
For all these works to be carried out we had to get several quotes and try and appeal to the community’s good nature, whilst doing so we found our very own superheroes in two gentlemen named Jon and Stu from a local company called JD Electrical Solutions who came out to quote for the work. Whilst going through what work was needed Jon proceeded to tell me that they were willing to carry out all the work in the toilets and kitchen completely free of charge, we just cover the cost of the materials. I was absolutely blown away by such kindness , they have been working hard and doing a fantastic job since we first met them, and it has meant the money has been able to go a lot further than first thought.
I would like to say a very warm welcome to the volunteers that have joined us over this period as well as a very big thank you to all of the volunteers that have stood by me and the charity over this last year in particularly, but also those of you that have helped to create the community that is Marvels, we continue to work tirelessly to build our empire, to once again open to the community to raise aware of Autism and ADHD and to provide a safe haven to those that need it.

Treasurer Report
th
1st May 2020 - 30 April 2021
Good morning, I am Monique Owen and the treasurer of Marvels and Meltdowns.
In March this year we only had £300 in our account due to Covid-19 and being in the process of obtaining our new building at the end of this financial year we have managed to have an income of £36,000.
We have managed to do this due to fundraising by our volunteers, donations and awarded grants which has gone into helping get the building ready to reopen and staff training.
Although the outgoings exceed the incomings this is because the restricted funding has been moved to a separate account and the expenditure for this can be seen on the table at the end of this report.
At the end of April 2021;
The balance in the free reserves account is £3792.56.
The balance in the restricted funding account is £15,735.93
The awarded grants Marvels and Meltdowns have received from May 2020 – April 2021 are;
Police and Crime Commissioner £231.00 – Zoom sessions 20[th] May 2020. This was so we could continue to keep supporting our families during lockdown.
Gosport Community Lottery Fund £1235 – Staff Training 11[th] Jan 21
The Partnership Foundation £500 – Covid safe materials 26[th] Jan 21
Local Connect Fund £1844 – Care packages, and advertising materials 5[th] Feb 21
Community Infrastructure Levy £5000 – Windows 8[th] March 21
Lottery Awards for All £10000 – Toilets, Core Costs, Grand Opening 12[th] March 21
Great Bridgemary Fund Off £4000 – Kitchen 24[th] March 21
The Donations we have received are.
RAOB £300 29[th] Oct 2020

We look forward to seeing what this year brings with the new Phoenix Centre being open.
