Chairpersons Report 2024
In 2024 we continued our efforts to raise funds to purchase the land in the centre of the village for community use. Our efforts focussed on completing and submitting our bid to the government's Community Ownership Fund, which we successfully submitted at the beginning of the year. Frustratingly, the calling of a snap General Election, then held our application in stasis, firstly throughout purdah, and then through a period of review by the new government. Therefore we were delighted to hear towards the end of the year that our bid to the Community Ownership Fund for £49,746 had been successful. This is a major step forwards for the charity, and will enable us to secure the land for which we were established, and maintain it for community use.
The charity continues to receive strong community support and has 45 members and receives regular donations from local residents, helping our charity meet our daily costs. Likewise, our continued participation in schemes such as the High Peak Lottery, and the ink
cartridge recycling scheme (box in The Peels) help us to raise further funds to help run the charity on a day to day basis.
We are entirely volunteer run and always happy to take on new volunteers either on the board or in a less formal capacity, to help us deliver our goals. In 2024 we welcomed Joan Joyce as a trustee and Karen Mitchell as our volunteer Secretary. Jackie Kilkenny also took over the Treasurer role from Roxana Devonport. I’d like to thank all of our volunteers for their hard work to keep the charity running and secure the funding to meet our mission.
