Rotary Club of Pangbourne Charitable Trust CIO 1179121
Trustees Report for Year 01.07.2021 to 30.06.2022
What a difference a year makes, Covid restrictions lifted and with it the ability to get out into the community to generate some much needed income for the Charity, whilst also providing our supporters and local communities with a positive boost to their mental wellbeing after a year of isolation.
Most of our club members have been fortunate enough to be able to fully engage with club activities allowing us to run all our usual fundraising events once more, enabling us to generate a gross income of £69,632.35. This result was in stark contrast to the previous year producing a bounce back that brings us closer to the levels of income generated in the years prior to Covid. The impact on our principal sources of income is clear to see:
| YE 2022 | YE 2021 | YE 2020 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Santa’s Float | £ 8,534.43 | £ 2,396.74 | £ 7,000.96 |
| Tilehurst Arson Relief Fund | £ 6,856.59 | £. 0.00. | £. 0.00 |
| Woodcote 10k | £ 5,247.12 | £. 2,716.87 | £ 8,774.64 |
| Painting Exhibitions | £ 3,723.79 | £ 222.00 | £ 2,142.02 |
| Anderson Polio talks | £ 2,148.64 | £ 1,412.00 | £ 3,011.00 |
| Dragon Boats | £ 2,076.47 | £ 0.00 | £ 372.00 |
| Barn Dance | £ 0.00 | £ 0.00 | £ 4,617.58 |
| HMRC Gift Aid | £ 3,715.42 | £ 5,166.41 | £. 0.00 |
Our Santa float was the star of the show and was particularly well received by young and old alike judging by the record collection achieved across 23 outings in the lead up to Christmas.
As a local Rotary Club we were able to respond immediately to the tragic arson attack on a block of flats in Tilehurst, Reading, that in the lead up to Christmas killed 2 people and left 25 homeless. Sadly, most were uninsured, walking out with just what they were wearing. Not only were we able to provide clothing and toiletries on the day to all that needed, we were also able to raise funds to help those that need, to rebuild their lives by providing furnishings and white goods with monies raised from the local community. This is an ongoing project that will run on for months, possibly years, as the victims wait to be permanently rehoused. The funds raised together with neighbouring Rotary Clubs are ring fenced as the “Tilehurst Arson Relief Fund” within the Charitable Trust specifically for this purpose.
Our 10k fundraising event in January proved to be just what the “doctor ordered” for the 375 runners that turned up, for many it was their first organised run since the onset of Covid. Similarly, we were delighted to be able to run our two annual Art Exhibitions that allowed our local artists to showcase their work once more to a willing audience of buyers. Judging by the income we earned on sales, these were amongst the most successful events of recent years.
After an absence of two years our Dragon Boat racing event organised alongside, and in conjunction with the Pangbourne Fete committee, bounced back strongly. We are hopeful that we will see more corporate entrants in 2023 as they seek new ways to encourage team building in a world of remote workers.
As a member of Rotary International we received a grant of £21,600 to help support an overseas Rotary Scholar pay their tuition, accommodation and living expenses whilst studying at Oxford University. We also provided liaison support to the scholar whilst also encouraging them to share insights of their studies by way of talks to local Rotary Clubs and other interest groups.
Expenses incurred in organising and running these events amounted to £11,734.09 generating a surplus of £57,898.26 which was added to the £7,753.80 carried over from the previous year and available for distribution to good causes.
During the year we made a total of 52 donations totalling £44,623.51 which are listed below. These comprise a number of local, community, youth, educational, national and international good causes. Our donations for the eradication of Polio via the Rotary Foundation are match funded by the Melinda and Bill Gates Foundation by a ratio of 2:1.
