## **Milford on Sea Charitable Trust (MoSCT) Annual Report November 2023** 

_The MoSCT was established in January 2017 to serve as an umbrella charity for voluntary community organisations in Milford on Sea, Keyhaven and Everton. Membership of the charity is open to the_ _**Milford on Sea Community Panel** , a networking group of individuals who represent a range of local voluntary organisations. The aim is twofold:_ 

_1. To support existing groups_ 

_2. To support new projects which benefit people living in the parish of Milford on Sea. The charity provides a bank account, insurance, DBS checks for volunteers, and general advice. It supports community events organised by the Panel Networking Group._ 

The pandemic of 2020/21 seriously affected the work of the Charity. Although we organised the Mutual Aid Scheme within the Parish, many other activities ceased. 

- Magical Milford at Christmas, for which the Charity provides administrative support, continued during the pandemic. This successful project is much loved by the people of Milford and the surrounding area. Tracy and Diana are here and will give us an update later. 

- In 2022, we re-established activities and support for people who are affected by dementia and other conditions. activities for people who are affected by dementia, or anyone who might benefit from an inclusive group. Jan, the Coordinator was appointed in May 2022. She who runs a fortnightly memory afternoon and a fortnightly Music session. She signposts individuals and their families to the support that is available, and how to access services. This service is now well established and is highly praised within the community. 

- In March 2022, MoSCT ran a Volunteer’s Fair in the Community Centre. This was well very attended, with the 17 local groups who had stalls all reporting that they had recruited new volunteers. **This should be repeated.** 

- In July 2022, the Trustees agreed to take the Milford Volunteer Drivers (formerly the Community Care Group) under the umbrella of the Trust. This summer, the Charity took over the running of this project. We are working to recruit new volunteer drivers and Coordinators, and to put a robust system in place to help it run as efficiently as possible. We are hopeful that on time new volunteers are able to take it back on. 

- This Autumn, we were approached by Step Up Safe Space. I’m pleased to announce that they have now joined the Charity, but will continue to be run independently by their volunteers. 

_The Charity is registered for gift aid. When an individual makes a donation, they can make it directly to the group or project they wish to support, or can donate to the charity itself. Any general funds which are donated will be allocated to new or existing projects._ 

_Any Milford on Sea voluntary organisation whose members think they could benefit from coming under the umbrella can join the Community Panel. Existing members, and any new members of the Panel are eligible to be members of the charity, which is administered by its Trustees. The panel meetings are the main forum for monitoring existing projects, and discussing new projects and ideas,  and how they might be introduced and managed. Chair, Jenny Whitley._
