ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
In the financial period April 2024 to April 2025 we have:
-
Consultations for Book Launch
-
Consultations for Easter Service
-
Conducted several viewings of Commercial Properties in Stoke on Trent
Consultant for Easter Service in Elderly Home
Our Trustee, Mr Roberts was contacted by the care home to assist with programming a special Easter Service for their residents. . The consultations in question, revolved around how to provide the correct backline equipment (amplifiers, electric bass, drums, keyboards, laptops and microphone’s) plus religious hymns, for the occasion.
The consultations proved to be highly successful, resulting in a tremendous Easter Sunday Christian Service for residents and visitors.
Consultant for Book Launch
Once again our Trustee Mr Roberts was asked for expert advice on ‘technical specifications’, to assist with a ‘Posthumous Book Launch’. The launch would be filmed live, and available for viewing to family members in oversea territories, and nationally. Although there was a lot of pressure because of the significance of the occasion; our trustee’s expertise and experience, ensured the event was a resounding success.
Conducted Several Viewings of Commercial Premises
Our board decided to look at commercial premises alongside the possibility of community asset transfers. To this end we looked at several pubs, and a restaurant. Although the restaurant was in the best condition, we felt that the location was not suitable to fulfil our charitable objectives. One of the pub’s was in an ideal location was ideal for our charity, however the condition of the building, and costs needed to renovate, were decisive factors not to proceed further with an expression of interest.
FUTURE
All of the above projects were again delivered with the charity receiving no financial remunerations .To address this urgent matter we will seek advice from organisation’s who have received funding, and experienced with applications for grants.
