## ’ - TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT 14th DECEMBER 2022
Thanks to a brilliant team in place, the Trustees have had a very happy and quiet year.
## BUSINESS MANAGER
At the last AGM, we introduced the new Business Manager role to our team. This decision is one we never take for granted, as our Business Manager Mei-Ling has been an invaluable asset to the business. Making sure that we have a strong grasp on the finances has aided us in making vital decisions about staffing, staff pay, increasing costs of running the preschool in an economic crisis and brokering deals for physical improvements to the grounds and facilities.
Unfortunately for us, Mei’s skills have been snapped up elsewhere and we say goodbye to her as a member of staff at this AGM. And so we are in the process of interviewing for a new Business Manager and hope to have someone to join the team in the New Year.
## TRUSTEES
In good news, Mei-Ling isn’t leaving us for good. She will be joining the Trustees, which is fantastic news. Having her on board to provide consistency of provision is a silver-lining to losing her as Business Manager and we are very grateful that she will be able to stay with us in some capacity.
In other Trustee changes, both Megan Brown and I will be stepping down. We thank Megan for three years of dedication as well as being an acting Treasurer two years ago when the moment called for it. We wish her enormous luck in her future opportunities.
My departure as Chair is one that leaves the Trustees in the very capable hands of the remaining Trustees Caroline Burgess-Pike and our Manager and Nominated Individual, Rebecca Shipp as well as our new recruit, Mei-Ling. I thank you all for your continuing support and wish you the greatest of success in the future. In the time I’ve been Chair, we have made great strides of progress and I am immensely proud of Marsh Green Preschool and all it’s become. I leave on extremely positive terms and look forward to seeing you continue on your upward trajectory in the future.
## KEY PRIORITIES
At this very point in time we have the very immediate recruitment needs for 1. Business Manager
## 2. Chair of Trustees (Caroline has kindly agreed to act as Chair for the time being) 3. More Trustees
And as a result of recruiting these new members to the Marsh Green Pre-school team, we will be able to audit how things are currently and set fresh priorities for the future.
## THANKS
As always, enormous thanks to all the Trustees for their hard work and dedication, we couldn’t do it without you.
And finally, thank you to our brilliant Manager, Rebecca and the whole team, Sophia, Julie, Jenny, Lucy, Carly, Sam & Sian. You are the beating heart of Marsh Green Preschool and the success of the business speaks volumes about how amazing you are at it.
