Chair’s Report Sept 2022-Aug 2023
It has been another busy year in the life of RCJ. The year began with two fundraising events. As we had done a big celebration for the King’s Coronation it was decided not to put on our usual Fun day. Instead we had a Curry and Quiz night and a Mamma Mia and Mezze night. Both events were very successful.
Café has continued to go grow. It has been lovely this year in particular to see new mums coming and meeting each other on a Wednesday morning and enjoying valuable, quality time together. We continue to be blessed by a committed and fairly stable team of volunteers who are happy to come each week and we now have 4 regular bakers. We had a lovely Christmas meal at The George in Chepstow. We have had a number of youngsters through this year doing their volunteering for their Welsh Bacc course.
Christmas was celebrated with the usual Carols round the tree. However, we added to the festivities by hosting a Christmas Pudding Workshop. We had over 50 ladies come, enjoy canapes and prosecco, and make their own Christmas Puddings. All of the ingredients were included in the cost of their ticket. The evening was an enormous success, so much so that in 2023 we have decided we will have to have 2 nights.
This year, with the cost of living crisis, we applied to the National Grid Community Matters fund with Localgiving for funding to be able to put on a Warm Space. We made toasties or soup for those coming in and had games and colouring out. It enabled those who would have otherwise struggled to keep up with bills to be able to be warm and have something good to eat. We would like to thank St Mary’s who also helped in giving us some days rent free. At first it ran 3 times a week and then dropped down to once a week. It was of great benefit to people and their mental health. In order to be able to keep it going we applied to Ogi for a grant which we received.
The planning for the Rogiet Community Shop and Café continues. The deadline for the Lottery application was due to be November 22 but due to unforeseen circumstances this was pushed back into the new year. The Lottery have been very accommodating, and we are hopeful for a positive outcome. Our application was due to go into the August round of funding but we have heard that we will be put back into the September round now. However, we have agreed the lease with RCC for the land so when we hear from the various funders we are ready to put pen to paper. Special thanks go to Sara Warshawski, our project manager, for her hard work throughout this whole application process. It has been very stressful at times but there is now light at the end of the tunnel.
We are looking forward to what the next year will bring!
