“Supporting Wellbeing and Education in our community”
Annual Report to Trustees 2021/22 By David Purslow (Trustee)
Introduction
The Charity was formally registered on 3[rd] August 2020 with the aim to provide a focus for supporting children and young people’s education and wellbeing.
Projects Overview
Christmas Boxes Project 2021
The aim was to again provide vulnerable children across Shrewsbury with a little extra at Christmas in the form of a box of presents and treats. This year we worked in collaboration with Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin Social Care Teams to provide parcels for all the children in Shropshire who are housed in refuges or temporary accommodation.
Funding came from a number of sources, with the bulk being a grant from the MCF and SMCA along with generous donations from individuals and Masonic Lodges across the county. This was used for purchasing presents for 252 Children aged 3-11. A group of volunteers wrapped the presents and they were delivered to the Care Team offices for distribution ready for Christmas.
The project yielded £4,638 and with a carried over balance had a working capital of £1,560. An average of £11 was spent on each child, along with a significant addition of books from The Rotary Club and treats from Shrewsbury Food Hub. This project will continue next year.

Baby Stop
Starting on 20[th] April 2021 the project asked the following via Social Media, leaflet drops and other media outlets:
Outgrown the babygrow?
A pack of Nappies too small for them? A must-have item that baby’s not interested in? Have you any new or nearly new baby items?
We all feel the pinch of a new baby, why not donate any spare items and help make a new family’s life a bit
easier.
Gain space and redistribute to new Mums by recycling , reusing and reducing waste’ Let’s put it to good use and stop the waste by donating it to our Baby Stop!
Initially utilising the Martin Wilson School nurture Hub on a monthly basis, the aim was to eventually develop further satellite operations across the county. This developed into the concept of “Pop-Up BabyStop”, this would move around to different communities offering a mobile version of the original concept.
With the generous support of a grant from Shrewsbury Town Council the Pop-Up trailer was kitted out and over the year 10 pop-ups planned.
Administration
Over the year the school has provided copying and storage space. It is our intention to formalise this if funds eventually allow. However, we will make again make a donation to the Friends of £150 towards any costs incurred.
