This was delivered in partnership with Sky through their Sky-Up initiative. The Trustees are extremely grateful to Sky for their ongoing support and provision of broadband and access to electronic tablets for the user of residents. A key activity, and one of the key driving forces behind the creation of the CIO, during the first year of operation was creation a Warm Welcome Space to serve and support members of the community. The Aims of the Braithwell and Micklebring ‘Warm Welcome’ Space were to: - Provide a warm and welcoming space for residents of all ages to meet-up and chat with friends and neighbours (both new and old) or just relax with a good book or magazine. - Reduce social isolation, loneliness and improve a sense of community (including community cohesion) for residents of all ages regardless of the length of time they have lived in the villages.  Provide some financial respite from the current cost of living crisis. The ‘Warm Welcome’ Space has delivered against these objectives and seen increased attendance at the sessions. The Warm Welcome Space was delivered  created an environment where residents of all ages meet and to improve intergenerational interactions thereby building upon the work started through the village’s response to the pandemic;  provided refreshments (teas, coffees, soft drinks and snacks) and hot soup for those would like to;  provided a warm and welcoming environment where residents could stay as long as they liked, this gave them the opportunity to turn off their own heating at home – thereby assisting with the cost of living crisis and massive increase in energy bills.  provided an opportunity for residents who wish to contribute to their community can volunteer either in the warm space itself or in providing a taxi service to chauffeur residents to the Master’s House.  created an environment where residents sought help and support for any issues they were facing, this largely took the form of signposting but on occasions involved, when there were a number of people experiencing the same issue, guest speakers or experts to explore solutions. This was delivered occasionally with the support of CDC community support. ## **Additional information (optional)** ||Contribution made by
volunteers|The Master’s House would not have been able to function or
provide its valuable community work without the dedicated hard
work of the fantastic group of volunteers - ‘_Friends of the Master’s_
_House’_. The trustees are grateful for the many hours the volunteers
have spent fundraising, looking after residents and making the
Master’s House Warm Welcome Space such an amazing success.|| |---|---|---|---| ## **Financial Review** ||Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end of
the period|The Trustees would publicly like to thank the personal and
community group donations which has been so important in the
operation of the Master’s House over the period.
Income for period was £5,322, made up of: public grants: personal
and community group donations: and income from community
groups.
Cash in the bank at the end of the period was £8,524. This is a
down £981 from the beginning of the reporting period. This has
largely been due to necessary building repair and ongoing
maintenance work.|| |---|---|---|---| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: The charity’s principal sources The Master’s House was awarded two public grants during 23-24 of funds (including any £500 each from the Braithwell with Micklebring Parish Council and fundraising) City of Doncaster Council to support the fantastic work of the Warm Welcome Space. This reflects the incredible work done by the ‘ _Friends of the Master’s House’_ volunteers to tackle loneliness and social isolation following the pandemic. ## **Other optional information** The coming year will see several challenges for the trustees as there is significant repair work needed to the fabric of the Master’s House, including the roof and attic space. Additional fundraising and grant applications will need to be sourced to ensure the future of the organisation and the building itself. The Trustees are working the _Friends of the Master House_ to explore volunteer expertise in making successful grant applications and future fundraising. ## **Declarations** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s)** David Bateman **Full name(s)** David Bateman **Position (eg Secretary,** Chair **Chair, etc) Date** 31/03/24 |**The Master's House, Braithwell**||**1203600**|| |---|---|---|---| |**Receipts andpayments accounts**|||**CC16a**| |6/16/2023
