Chairman’s Report March 2021- March 2022
2021-2022 has not been the easiest of times for us as a Group as Covid continued to influence both our restoration work and fundraising. The good news is that we were pleased to welcome a new Treasurer, Sandra Sanderson, who is doing a great job for us, taking over from our previous Treasurer who has now left the village.
Restoration work continued on the Edward Birkbeck when possible - including work to the Keel, Keelson and scarf joints - following a decision to endeavour to restore the Edward Birkbeck to a ‘seaworthy condition’ if at all possible. As 2021 drew towards a close, plenty of hard work was carried out by our team of Volunteers to ensure that the Boat Shelter where the Edward Birkbeck was stored in the grounds of the Mencap Residential home in the village was sound and made as secure as possible for the onset of Winter and the hope that Work Parties would resume from March/April 2022 provided weather conditions and the Covid situation allowed.
Trustee Dona Watson has approached professional Fundraiser, Simon O’Leary, to undertake fundraising on our behalf and his proposals were presented to the Trustees to register us with The Big Lottery Fund and look at using the Edward Birkbeck as a platform as part of The Winterton Story – helping to foster connections between residents and campaign to find a permanent location for the proposed Heritage Centre. Also, future applications to be considered to more local funding sources such as the Norfolk Community Foundation and the Geoffrey Watling Foundation which specifically benefits Norfolk Charities, with the potential to lead into Heritage Lottery funding. Unfortunately, a Big Lottery Fund application was rejected with a suggestion that it might be more suitable for future consideration for funding by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Vice Chairman, Terry Byrne, continues discussions with Planning Consultants to help with our application for a potential new site for the proposed Heritage Centre. Their fees are to be covered by a generous donation which has been promised to us in the form of stage payments.
The owner of the proposed new site has given permission for the use of the land and all Trustees agreed it would be an excellent site. Once Planning is in place for the proposed Heritage Centre, we would plan to apply to the National Lottery Heritage Fund for further funding.
We remain positive about the future of the restoration of the Edward Birkbeck, Winterton’s last Lifeboat, and the creation of a Heritage Centre within the village as her permanent home and will continue to work towards this outcome.
