Chairmans Report for the year ending 31st March 2023
Overall, the year has been very successful, the addition of a Centre Manager to our team has been very positive and has contributed greatly to a positive year. Our numbers have increased steadily, and our volunteer base has grown and become more stable. More detail is contained in Alison’s report. we saw the resignation of three of our trustees, George resigned in October due to family commitments, followed in November by Grace and Joan due to a combination of health and work commitments. Callum joined the Trustees in January. Callum has been involved with Butterflies-Haven for many years, having been a volunteer and session manager before moving on to become a Trustee. Matt Hunt joined the Trustees in September. Matt has a business background and has
experience of strategic planning and business development which will prove very useful to the Charity going forward. At present we have four Trustees, our constitution allows for nine, therefore we are looking to recruit more Trustees that will bring the skills to fill identified gaps.
The Trustees have been giving a lot of thought to the sustainability of the Charity and held an away day to discuss possible options. One of the options to come out of the day, was a merger with another organisation. Therefore, in the Summer we opened discussions with Mencap Keynsham around a possible merger. After several meetings with their Chair and Treasurer it was felt that the proposal from Mencap would not be in the best interest of Butterflies-Haven, and it was decided not to proceed at this time.
Following our talks with Mencap, it was agreed that we needed to identify other like-minded organisations that we could work constructively with and draw up a clear vision and development plan to take the charity forward. A small working group has been formed to put together a 3-year Strategic development plan.
Since the Summer we have been forging closer links with Bristol Autism Support. They work to support parents and carers; this compliments the support we offer. We have jointly run several coffee mornings in Keynsham and intend to continue this in the new year. We are looking to identify other organisation that we can work with and possibly share backoffice services.
To sum up, I feel the past year has been very successful, the charity has grown and is now moving forward in a positive way. We now have a new Development plan in place. The challenges identified for the coming year are: - To secure funding for the future, To increase our Trustee numbers to add diversity and addition skills, To deliver on our Strategic plan and to build on our network of like organisations.
Having been Chair of Trustee for the last eight years, I feel that the time is now right for me to take a step back and support Callum in taking Butterflies-Haven into the next phase of its life.
As we enter into our final year of Lottery funding I would like to say a big ‘thank you’ to the National Lottery for all the support you have given to Butterflies-Haven in the past three years.
