Annual Report for Baby Godiva (2023-2024)
Introduction
As the Director of Baby Godiva, I am pleased to present our annual report for the period of 2023-2024. This report outlines our achievements, challenges, and future plans as we continue to support families in need within our community.
Achievements
During the 2023-2024 period, Baby Godiva has made significant strides in our mission to support families. We are proud to report that we have assisted 469 families by providing over 5,000 items of consumables, nursery equipment, and feeding equipment. Our commitment to improving the lives of families in our community remains unwavering.
Our relationships with welfare professionals and self-referring families have continued to strengthen, allowing us to reach those who need our support the most. Additionally, our community champions within local supermarkets played a crucial role in our success, helping us to organise six extremely successful donation days . These events not only raised essential resources but also increased awareness of our charity's mission.
Finances
Baby Godiva had an annual income of 30,316 GBP in the period 1[st] June 2023 to 31[st] May 2024.
27,066 grants
3,250 of donations
Expenditure totalled 28,505 GBP leaving the charity with cash funds of 3,199 GBp for the year.
Challenges
Despite our successes, it has become apparent that Baby Godiva needs to grow beyond the current capacity of our team. The increasing demand for our services has highlighted the necessity for additional support and resources. To address this challenge, we have sought a partnership with Clothing Coventry . This collaboration will allow us to pool resources and enhance our ability to serve families in need.
Future Plans
As part of our strategic plan, we aim to transition the day-to-day operations of Baby Godiva to Clothing Coventry as a standalone charity. This partnership will enable our current Director, Isabelle Edgar-McCabe , to retire to the Trustee board, ensuring that
her invaluable experience and leadership continue to guide our charity in a supportive capacity.
We believe that this partnership will not only strengthen our operational capabilities but also expand our reach and impact within the community. We are excited about the future and the potential for growth that this collaboration presents.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the 2023-2024 period has been one of both achievement and reflection for Baby Godiva. We are grateful for the support of our volunteers, community partners, and donors who have made our work possible. As we move forward, we remain committed to our mission of supporting families and look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead through our partnership with Clothing Coventry.
Thank you for your continued support.
