TRUSTEES REPORT 2023
Dear Members
Since taking on the role of Chair, the organisation has increased the number of Trustees to five, three of which are linked to the officers’ roles: Chair, Secretary and Treasurer and two are independent.
We have continued to deliver support to the LRFs, charities such as Keech Hospice, and commercial events such as Runaway and Todd in the Hole music festival to name a few. All these generating an income for the group, and you will see that we have received donations from many organisations and group members as outlined in my Treasures report.
In the last few months, the Trustees have been busy looking at the future of the group and the direction for the next five years. We have some very ambitious targets to achieve but with your help the Trustees are sure we can reach our objectives.
We have presented this information to the members already and asked you to vote on the revised Local Rules and Guidelines, which you did, and this has now been approved. If you have not seen this documentation, then please review by visiting the groups google drive.
A large investment has been made in line with the new strategic direction, in particular the uniform roll out, and other assets to make the group self-reliant.
We are rolling out DBS checks for all active members over the coming quarter.
I have been covering two roles since September, Chair and Treasurer, at the AGM I will be standing down as Treasurer after 5 years. I do intend to re-stand as Chair so I can help implement the new strategic direction.
The Trustees thank all the members for their continued support during 22/23 and we look forward to working with you in the years to come.
For and on behalf of the Trustees.
Regards
Graham

Dear All
We had a good opening balance of £7,519.26 from the previous year.
The balance started to increase as we supplied our services to other organisations and charities raising the sum of £2596.00.
In December our existing and new members paid their membership fee helping build the fund even further by £570.00. Donations from the Lions Club and other organisations added a further £3620.95 to the bank balance.
We currently hold £281.00 of PPE stock in hand.
We have one Debtor this year. Blevec £134.55
We made a big investment in the new uniforms/PPE in line with a strategic direction for the next five years, this used up some of a capital from previous years leaving us with a negative profit of -£1594.03 for the year.
All in all, we have had a good year with a closing Current Account Bank Balance of £5925.23 and a Savings account balance of £13225.50 = £19150.73.
I would like to thank the members and the committee for all their hard work and continued support during the year.
