## **2021 Annual Update to Walk Leaders** As 2021 started Walkabout Flintshire were following Welsh Government Covid guidelines and therefore no walks were undertaken in the first quarter (Jan to Mar). It wasn’t until week commencing 26[th] April that restrictions were lifted and again we could walk as organised groups. Walks began in Mold (Monday and Tuesday), Flint, Halkyn, Caerwys, Holywell, Shotton, Penyffordd, Llanasa and Caerwys with additional special walks undertaken. Our Trustee were able to meet and an Annual General Meeting was held on 20[th] May. As a number of walk leaders retired during 2020 we have been actively seeking replacement Walk leaders to restart the walks in Buckley and Talacre but unfortunately nobody came forward. The walks in Flint on Monday, Mold Parkfields and Mostyn no longer take place. The only evening walks have been in Halkyn, but others may restart in 2022. In order to try to recruit new walk leaders it was decided by the Trustees to introduce an opportunity for walkers to become back-up walk leaders without having to undertake a formal training session. This has resulted in 5 back-up walk leaders being included on the insurance policy list. As 2021 came to an end the Welsh Government announced that activities outdoors were limited to 50 and indoor limited to groups of 6. In 2021 Walkabout Flintshire led 327 walks, with 4782 walkers taking part and we welcomed 71 new walkers. Walkabout Flintshire also held 6 special out of town walks. The Trustees want to give a special thanks to the volunteers who - Administer our social media - FaceBook and Twitter accounts. - Maintaining and updating of the website - Treasurer - Minute Secretary - Chair - Secretary And finally and most importantly to all the walk leaders and back up leaders who turn out in all weathers and who have again had to adhere to the challenges of changing guidelines. In 2021 Walkabout Flintshire led 327 walks, with 4782 walkers taking part and we welcomed 71 new walkers. Walkabout Flintshire also held 6 special out of town walks. Looking forward 2023 is a special year for Walkabout Flintshire as we celebrate our 20[th] Anniversary, we hope to plan an event to bring us all together. ||**Walkabout Flintshire**|**Walkabout Flintshire**|**31/12/21**||| |---|---|---|---|---|---| ||(WaFl)||||| ||CIO No. 1170740||||| ||**Receipts and Payments**||||| ||**as at 6th May 2022**||||| ||||||| ||||Year Ending|Year Ending|| ||||31st Dec|31st Dec|| ||||2021|2020|| |**Receipts**|||||| ||All sources||£0.00|£0.00|| ||||~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~|| ||Total||£0.00|£0.00|| ||||~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~|| ||||||| |**Payments**|||||| ||Secretary's Expenses||-£36.40|-£40.48|| ||Double Click A5 Flyer Silk paper||£0.00|-£47.50|| ||Zurich Insurance via Peter Kime||-£113.09|-£113.09|| ||AGM Expenses||£0.00|-£24.50|| ||Birthday Card John Thomas, 80||£0.00|-£1.79|| ||Present Stan Jones, 90||£0.00|-£45.79|| ||Daniel Owen Centre Room Hire x 2 x 1.5 hr at £6.50 per hr||-£19.50|£0.00|| ||||||| ||||~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~|| |||Total|-£168.99|-£273.15|| ||||~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~|| ||||||| ||Surplus|Receipts over Payments|-£168.99|-£273.15|| ||||~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~|| |||Total|-£168.99|-£273.15|| ||||~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~|| ||||||| ||||||| |||**Statement of Assets and Liabilities- as at-**|31st Dec|31st Dec.|| ||||2021|2020|| ||||||| ||Lloyds CurrentAccount||£9,191.73|£9,360.72|| ||||~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~|| ||Total||£9,191.73|£9,360.72|| ||||~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~|| |**Funds**|||||| ||Balance b/f||£9,360.72|£9,633.87|| ||Surplus Income over Expenditure||-£168.99|-£273.15|| ||||~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~|| ||Balance c/f||£9,191.73|£9,360.72|| ||||~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~||
