2024/2025 BEMBRIDGE HERITAGE TRUSTEE REPORT A CHALLENGING YEAR IS THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE OUR LAST FINANCIAL YEAR. A LONG OVERDUE OF AUDIT OF LAPSED MEMBERS WITH REGULAR MAILINGS TO THOSE WHO HAD FORGOTTEN TO SEND THEIR MEMBERSHIP FEES HAS ENSURED MEMBERSHIP IS NOW ACCURATE. THE SUCCESSFUL SATURDAY COFFEE MORNINGS , TALKS AND EXHIBITIONS KEPT HERITAGE PROFILE VERY HIGH WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. A DECISION TO DONATE £200 TO MOUNTBATTEN HOSPICE FROM OUR CHRISTMAS RAFFLE WAS COMPLETED . THE NEED FOR MORE VOLUNTEERS IS A CONSTANT MESSAGE IN ALL OUR COMMUNICATIONS AND MAIL-OUTS TO MEMBERS AND SUPPORTERS A NEED ECHOED BY MOST VOLUNTARY ORGANISATIONS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. THE AGM WAS WELL ATTENDED AND ALL ACCOUNTS AFTER AUDIT WERE APPROVED.
A NEW TRUSTEE REX GULLY WAS ELECTED ALONG WITH ALL EXISTING TRUSTEES RE-ELECTED. THE PRIORITIES FOR FORTHCOMING YEAR IS TO COMPLETE OUR RELOCATION TO NEW PREMISES, INCREASE MEMBERSHIP AND EXPAND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. THE WORK OF PRESERVING AND PROTECTING THE HISTORY OF BEMBRIDGE HAS BEEN THE WORK OF DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS BOTH PAST AND PRESENT WITHOUT WHOM THE HERITAGE OF OUR COMMUNITY WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST, IMMENSE GRATITUDE GOES TO ALL. Paul Kenny Trustee Bembridge Heritage.
