Chair’s Report
It’s a real privilege to be writing this having just celebrated our 10[th] birthday. When we signed our first constitution on the 31[st] October 2013 we had no idea that our charity would grow so much or how popular it would become. Year on year we collected more and more waste and introduced our ideas to local communities. Who knows where we would be now if Covid hadn’t arrived!
Here are our achievements to date:
==> picture [120 x 126] intentionally omitted <==
-
Saving over 20 tonnes of waste from the bin and forwarding it on for recycling or for fundraising
-
Giving individuals, schools and businesses the opportunity to donate their waste items
-
Bringing communities together
-
Helping other good causes - 40+
-
Offering volunteering opportunities and for some, a bonus - friendships have formed
-
Raising awareness about waste and recycling
We couldn’t have achieved any of these without the passion and enthusiasm of our fantastic volunteers and donors. Equally we couldn’t have achieved them without the financial support of all our funders, for which we are eternally grateful. Thank you all.
I’d like to turn to our member of staff, our Business Manager, Stacey. When we first discussed celebrating our 10[th] birthday we thought it would be great to try to raise £10,000. We knew it would be a big ask, but we really hoped that by the 31[st] October this year we would have achieved that figure. So we were stunned when Stacey (with some volunteer help) not only achieved that target but went another £6,000 past it! But that sums up Stacey all over. She works really hard, has given Win on Waste one-hundred per cent commitment and really does go that extra mile when needed. A very big thank you to her.
Also a very big thank you to all our Trustees, (past and present) and to Sonia who has for many years been our payroll volunteer. Without all their skills and commitment we wouldn’t be able to operate as a charity, so very much appreciate all the hours they give.
So now we are starting the beginning of our second decade and who knows by the end of that decade we could see Win on Waste sessions starting in communities all over the country. Watch this space!
Best wishes, Monique, Chair

Win on Waste at 10!
Win on Waste came into existence as Ideas2Action on 31st October 2013, and the first project (We Need That!) still continues today! Funding was obtained from a Green Initiatives grant from Borough of Poole, plus help from the Green Goals Community Fund. After the charity’s official launch on 8th April 2014, We Need That! was expanded to cover both Bournemouth and Poole.
Canford Heath Win on Waste launched in May 2014 and was swiftly followed by similar sessions in Creekmoor, Hamworthy and many other places, until we reached a total of 18 sessions running each month!
In January 2020, Ideaas2Action became Win on Waste and the advent of Covid meant a real change to how Win on Waste and the public sessions were able to run, but the team rose to the challenge and we are now running 10 sessions per month once again, with plans for more in the new year.
With the return of our Recycling Awards, our 10th Birthday has been a real banner event! Here’s to the next ten!

Income
Our funding comes from a variety of sources, principally grants, donations and fundraising. We would particularly like to thank our key funders for 2022/23 who are listed individually on the following page, Terracycle, who provide a financial donation for the waste we process with them, Recycle4Charity who process our printer ink cartridges, Scott Hedger for his continuing donations for postage stamps and the generous donations we received from our supporters at our Win On Waste events during 2022/23. We are grateful to every one of our donors who has contributed to our fundraising this year through buying raffle tickets and taking part in our local activities. We would also like to thank Barry Faith for his continuing donation and Moira Ledger and Elaine Langdown for their support in fundraising using second-hand books and media.
Expenditure
Our principal spending is on staff salaries. We have developed an extensive network of volunteers, groups and activities, including processing a significant amount of waste and this requires considerable support and co-ordination. A large amount of time is also spent on developing our case for support and applying for grant funding to support our core body of work.
