Chairs Report
-
[We have had another successful year of running our minibus with a ] couple of minor complications, we have achieved our goal of increasing our membership by involving the wider local community and other groups and now due to popular demand we are considering putting an extra shopping day on each week, that is of course if we can find the volunteer drivers we so desperately need also being able to carry on having trips to the seaside; unfortunately we have found due to the increase in the cost of living and the running costs, especially the fuel we will have to increase these trips to £5pp also I am sorry to say a number of our members are using our bus just for these events which is unfair to our other loyal members; the donation of £1 you pay on our shopping days towards our events and Christmas activities will stay the same; please be assured we have desperately tried to keep the costs down to an absolute minimum over the years and this decision was not taken lightly but inevitable in the end, your understanding is appreciated;
-
[My eternal gratitude goes to all our wonderful Trustees, helpers and ] hard working dedicated volunteer drivers for keeping our MAGbus in service during my incapacity also our lovely members who kept up their morale you are all so very special and I am extremely fortunate to have such great people on our MAGbus; also thanks to YHG/CEC for their generosity and Steph our manager for all her assistance; now a word to a particular lady who went above and beyond her duties as a Trustee when she Offerred to take over the responsibility of running our Minibus along with our loyal drivers and Trustees without a murmur of complaint to anyone my dear friend and Trustee Ann Binder who is so gentle and thoughtful took it on with such terrific gusto I think I am now out of a job! Ann you are amazing and you have the heart of a lioness and I know I speak for everyone who knows you when I say you are simply the best, thank you.
Treasurers Report
- [Our audited accounts as from today stands at a healthy £11,279,25 ] we also have £750 in membership fees and £500 in donations from our weekly £1 collections towards our Christmas Festivities and other events; What we do need to be aware of and looking ahead for the future of our bus is the costs of running diesel fuelled vehicles, we aim to seek further funding from the National Lottery for a new environmentally friendly minibus as I think we all know it is inevitable these ULEZ (see below) charges will eventually affect not just public transport but our free minibus as well, there will be no exemptions as it stands now so every time we take out our bus we will have to pay these excessive charges; The Mobility and Access Group charity made a commitment many years ago that we would provide free transport for the elderly, vulnerable and disabled people in our community for as long as we are running it and we are determined to fulfil this obligation for many years to come;
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
- [We aim to maintain all the excellent work the MAGbus has achieved ] (and more) in the future by extending our shopping trips and events (depending on recruitment of more volunteer drivers) also with all your continuous support and loyalty for the community of Handforth;
