JUST RIDE c SOUTHEND Charity No 1179453 Annual Trustees Report for Charity Commission 31st March 2024 to 31st March 25 2024125 has been a great year with further growth in numbers attending, celebrating 10 years and the completion of our expansion project including the new bike maintenance workshop container funded by the Clothworkers foundation. We have strengthened our p051tion financially especially following a successful application to the Postcode Places Lottery for core funding. We had a total of 18.366 people through the gates of which 10.989 were registered donating riders and 7377 were carers of parents who ride for free. 1705 more people than 2023. We have completed our planned expansion project of two more containers at Garons, one a5 a fitted-out bike maintenance workshop and the other as an expansion space to allow us to store otjr bikes better, this was achieved with the support of Sported, and throtjgh a successful application to the Clothworkers Foundation. We had the workshop up and running in November and had the official opening in March 2025, the workshop has been dedicated to the memory of David Tideswell, one of our founding trustees who died last year, the family of David cut the ribbon of the opened ceremony in the presence of the Mayor and Mayoress of Southend, CEO of the city council and the High sheriff of Essex. We had a fantastic day celebrating our 10th Birthday in August 2024, with a record attendance of 390 riders over 3 hours and a visit from the Mayor of Southend and many of our supporters while raising funds with stalls and refreshments. A continuing big challenge was the recruitment and retainment of volunteers, but we have managed to grow our crew to 55 up by 5 regular volunteers and they have put in over 5900 hours that's an extra 500 hours than the previous year. We will continue to raise our profile locally to engage more potential crew and look for more ways to say thank you to our existing fantastic volunteers. We continue to contract in the services of Alan and Gwen Cook for administration IGwen's Cycle Coachingl who have focused on increasing our profile with the City of Southend and funders including increasing our branded clothing range and merchandise for volunteers and to promote us at local events with our gazebo and promotional stalls. We had ongoing fund-raising initiative5 Wlth Postcode Places Lottery for core costs, Co-operative Bank, Coop stores, Waitrose, Essex Community Foundation for new bikes, Norman Garon trust, Inter-church charity and Ford trust who supported us with fitting out our new workshop as well as Sported working with P & G Morrisons for 6 months track hire costs. We also continued to upgrade and replace our bikes and have focused on our adult 2 wheelers. family bikes such as tag a longs and baby seats and upgrading the specialist bikes by working with new bike supplier in London, Bikeworks as well as Ashfield special needs and Richardsons of Leigh. We took all our volunteers out again for a thank you meal in January and supplied them all with branded mugs.
