Section D Achievements and erformance p

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

BASE Chair Report The number of bookings continues to grow with an additional organisation borrowing kit this year. The peak is in the summer period, before the school holidays. Changes at hiring organisations are a regular occurrence and we need to be reactive and flexible to accommodate requests.

Demand is increasing and as equipment ages we will have to monitor condition and ensure we have sufficient amounts and quality to meet demand, purchasing additional stock where required.

This year BASE was very fortunate to be the beneficiary of fundraising by one of our borrowing organisations.

Volunteers and trustees are the key to the success of the charity. I would like to thank all of you for your time and commitment, let’s keep working together to ensure we provide a service but at the same time make running BASE an enjoyable activity.

One of our trustees wishes to stand down and on behalf of all at BASE we wish to express our appreciation for all their contribution.
