The annual Christmas Bazaar made a record profit of £573 and local people
found some excellent bargains.
Donna's Garden Retreat invited us to have a fund raising table at its Holistic
Fayre which proved to be a very enjoyable event and gained sponsorship for
the Fun Walk.
Finally, our fund raising table at the Jubilee Party in Westlake Park earned us
sufficient funds to buy a new gazebo and raise sponsorship for the Fun Walk.
In addition, CarterRemy Estate Agents made a donation to the Trust for each
advertising board our supporters allowed in their gardens. This resulted in a
magnificent donation of £200.
We thank the local Benbow Club for allowing us to use their hall free of charge for
both the Quiz and the Bazaar.
At the latter end of the year it was necessary to spend £850 on tree cutting and
crowning. This is the first time we have had to spend any money on the trees as, in
the past, all work has been done by volunteers. However, in this Instan Basildon
Council's Tree Protection Officer advised us to use professionals.
Throughout the year volunteers continued to pick up rubbish, do minor tree work,
keep long standing pathways clear and open up new ones.
Despite the spend on professional tree work, and a steep increase in the cost of
insurance, we ended the year with income over expenditure of £553 and a bank
balance of £2,953.
In order to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet any unexpected
expenditure the Trustees have agreed a Finance Policy whereby a minimum £1,000
is retained in our bank account.
We will continue with our fundraising with a view to installing a new gate and fencing
along the front entrance in Page Road.
We regard ourselves lucky to have so many supporters from both within and outside
the community. There are too many names to mention but they know who they are
and we thank them for their gifts which keep our tombolas and raffles going.
