Chair’s report
As this is our second AGM, I just want to say how impressed and amazed I am by the amount of work you have put in over the past 34 months.
In the past 12 months we have picked up numerous bags of litter, planted hundreds of bulbs, plants and herbs, another 4 fruit trees and two commemorative trees.
We have pruned overhanging branches and brambles, swept up leaf litter from the car park, cleared brambles created a dino-garden, more raised beds, planted with flowers.
That was all physical hard work. In addition we've used our brains and raised £4,165, nearly £2K is allocated to our second conversation bench and planter, the rest is donations and quiz night proceeds and will be spent on more flowers and plants.
Two major projects were completed in the very early part of our financial year – the Sensory Garden – well done to Vicky for her idea and making it happen, and the same for our animal trail.
We only had a couple of visits from the Community Payback team but they did get the Christmas tree bed cleared, and then we planted the donated tree. Thank you Julie. The Youth Offending team and their supervisor Paul have made a few visits, keeping Beech Hall path clear of soggy leaves, thank you Paul.
We have laughed, groaned, raged, and once again, made two more things – friends and “a difference”.
Thank you to you all for being.
