Section D Achievements and performance Summary ofthe main achievements of the charity during the year Elizabeth House continues to thrive and deliver on its mission of provid- ing support and companionship to independent senior crtizens in the local i communty. Our membership has a degree ofturnover due to the age profile but we recruit new members and we have been very successful In keeping the membership level high at around 200. During the past financial year we have recruited a new bookkeeperlad- ministrator who has proven excellent at her role and 5UPPOrting the man- ager and having quality contact with the members. We have also been joined by many more volunteers and the number is now at the highest ever at 60 people. The volunteers express their love for the role and this is testament to the welcoming environment and good management that exists at the Day Centre. The trustees have always shown their appreciation to the volunteers by holding 'thank you. parties and now a new scheme to reward our eX￿ptIOnal volunteers has been introduced- The Volunteer Recognition Award. This is a link to a free ho- tel break for 2 nights for the volunteer who wns the award plus one per- son they would like to share it wth. The Day Centre runs activities on a daily basis through weekdays. These are physically and or mentally stimulating and we introduce new things, alongside the old favourites. to keep it fresh. Not all the adivities are pro- vided for free and so we have been fortunate in applying for and receiv- Ing grants to help fund some of these activities. There is an annual boat trip along the River Thames. which costs a lot of money. and this has been funded by a local charity called The Cherrypickers of Cookham Dean, who are one of the many local organisations who support the Day Centre. During the day a 2 course cooked lunch is provided by our paid cook in our kitchen. The kitchen currently is semi-domestic but we have solid plans now to create a professional ktlchen. We will use some of our re- Serves to pay for this bLrt hopefully it will be a project whereby we can a ply for grants to help the funding. The most important thing that we have achieved is members, happiness at coming to a place where they feel comfortable and enjoy their day. The staff and volunteers do a tremendous job face to face with members. The trustees can also be proud to manage such a successful charity.
