The Club'8 structure, govemanc• and management
The Club was established as a charity in August 2017 and registered with the Charity
Commission in January 2020. The Club is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated
Organisation {ClO).
The Club is overseen by its trustees for the benefrt of its members. A new trustee
must have the ne￿$Sary skills. knoW￿ge. and experience and be appointed by a
resoluts'on passed at a Trustees, meeting. The Trustees meet between 4 and 6 times
a year.
Week-on-week the Club is managed by Jo Sydes (nee Gill), who set up the Club
Around the end of the period a management team was set up to deal with increasing
demands of various aspects of management. including volunteer recruitment and
administration.
Activltie8 and objective3
The Club arranges a full Sunday lunch once a month for its members - elderly people
who are lonely and l or socially isolated. About a hundred people come to
Sawbridgeworth Memorial Hall. Herts (or are driven there and back as necessary)
where the lunch is cooked. served and cleared away by volunteers. This facilitates
social interaction in a comforting environment.

Summary of the main achievoments and porfomianca during the pgrlod
The prior year 2020-2021 was a difficult year for Club. and one that saw us face
many challenges. The global COV￿-19 pandemic had a huge impact on the work we
do and saw us close our doors betr0￿en April 2020 - August 2021. This was a
sustained period of closure and fOr￿d us to adapt how we deliver our se￿1￿$ to
members, and how the Club was funded. We were very grateful for the support of
small 'digital' grants on offer. and kind donations from the local community. These
allowed us to pay for mobile phones arKI tsblets so members could stay connected
with family and friends", to deliver weekly Sunday tskeaway meals to our most
vulnerable members" and to put together and deliver meals and small gifts on
Christmas Day. Thanks to an appeal from our local newspaper. we also received
over 500 'shoebox Christmas gffts,, which we delivered to all of our members, other
local community groups addressing loneliness and local care homes.
Thi5 year, the Club has made a good ￿COVery from closure. The Club took
proactive, sensible steps to reopen, taking into account the health and safety of both
members and volunteers. Since reopening, the Club has grown in numbers, with
many more members signing up. The Club has now taken steps to incorporate a
waiting list. which is monitored closely, so members are not discouraged from
joining. Paperwork. records and administrative tasks have improved significantly,
with the installation of a volunteer management team taking care of these aspects.
This has resulted in better process and compliance (mainly compliance in GDPR).
Policies are reviewed and updated annually, and regular management meetings
meetings are held. Management have introduced birthday cards for members and
thank you cards for volunteers. and sympalhy cards to families if a member has
passed away. All of these changes have resulted in positive feedback from both
members and volunteers!
Financial review
The Club recovered well from the Covid pandemic. Monthly lunch membership was a
little slow lo pick up after we were able to open the doors to paying guests once
again. However, as confidence 9￿W so did our membership and attendance.
The Club is forging some very productive relationships with local businesses. As a
result. we have been rewarded with some very generous donations this year.
Examples include a local secondary school raising money for u5 through their charity
week. a local estate agents used their sponsorship of an event to raise funds for us
too. Many local people and businesses have recognised the WOTk the Club is doing
to relieve social isolation and loneliness especially after Covid lockdowns and have
chosen to support us in their fundraising or grft giving. A full list of donors can be
found on page 6.

Our financial situatFon remains strong and we are exploring potential opportunitie5 to
support our members further. The Club has no debts and does not hold any funds as
custodian trustee.
