Green Island Holiday Trust AGM 2026
Chairman’s report
2025 was another successful year for the Green Island Holiday Trust. John LeVesconte served as our co-ordinator until the end of September. During the year he organised 5 weeks of holidays at Wraxall Yard including one week in May, 2 weeks in June and 2 weeks in September. 25 disabled adults were able to benefit from a weeks’ holiday. Their disabilities included MS, visual impairment, profound deafness, cerebral palsy and learning difficulties. There were many wheelchair users and each holiday included one holidaymaker who required hoisting to transfer.
Plans for this years’ holidays are well under way. Since September 2025, the role of co-ordinator has been shared by Helen Spencer, Annie Ketteringham and Philippa Dickins. This has enabled the detailed examination of the role with some refinements allowing reallocation of duties to Trustees from the Co-ordinator.
Five weeks of holidays are again planned for this year with 1 week each in May and June and 3 weeks in September. It seems easier to find volunteers willing to commit to the later months of the year. This year we were able to publicise GIHT on local radio twice and via the Westbourne Rotary and some of their fundraising events. This has resulted in the recruitment of 4 new volunteers.
At present the fee to the Holidaymakers remains at £350. There was discussion regarding the amount at last years’ AGM. So far no holidaymakers have reported problems in paying this amount.
I am delighted that a regular volunteer at Green Island, Ben Irons, has been accepted as our Co-ordinator from April 2026. He has started familiarising himself with what is required and will take over definitively from September. A service level agreement to this effect will be agreed later this year.
