Chairman's report May 2025
As we wrap up another year, I'm pleased to share that Room 4U has thrived. The trustees are collaborating effectively, and we've organised a full lineup of events for everyone in the village and beyond.
At this time, we're focusing on updating some items and refreshing our storage cupboards. Our team is diligent in addressing maintenance issues, ensuring that Room 4U remains a welcoming and safe environment.
Our therapists continue to work tirelessly with their clients, finding Room 4U a valuable and secure space for their sessions.
Financially, we are in a solid position and are optimistic about maintaining all our community initiatives and expanding further.
A big thank you has to go to all trustees and our diligent fundraiser.
