JUST FRIENDS
Trustees Report for the 12 months ending 30[th] June 2022.
Despite the impact of Covid we were able to continue providing much of the events and services we offer but always within Government guide lines. Recruitment reduced during the period but we are delighted to say numbers are increasing as a form of normality begins to be resumed.
During the year we opened a new branch in Newhaven and we are delighted with the progress being made. Towards the end of the financial year we received funding to help open a new branch in Hastings and this is scheduled for the beginning of the new financial year.
We had to find a replacement for Zoe, the Administrator, who resigned due to pressure of work and we were fortunate to appoint Trish as her replacement and this is proving a very good move.
Laura continues to maintain the web site which is one form of communication with our members.
Due to our expansion it is now essential we engage a self-employed person as a Branches Manager who will manage existing branches and also organise branch events. This will be progressed during the months ahead.
We are grateful to the volunteers who provide such a necessary service and hope we can expand the numbers to spread the work load more evenly.
We enjoyed a successful financial year receiving many grants thus enabling us to continue with the policy of NO MEMBERSHIP FEE. We have sufficient reserves to continue with the Charity for four months should any severe difficulties arise in the future. The financial controls have proved efficient and further policies will be added as required.
Now we have exceeded the minimum income for a Charities Account we must now move to a Business Account which means free banking ceases.
The Trustees collectively acknowledge that their efforts during the year have been welcomed by the membership and many have written testimonials for inclusion on the web site.
Though the events programme for next year is in draft form we must recognise that new events proposed by the members should figure prominently throughout. We are always striving in encouraging members to participate where possible and contribute their ideas.
The Trustees have demonstrated their worth and will continue to do so in the future.
Trustees. F Smith, H Broad, L Harris, L Nolan.
