## **General Meeting. Date: 13/12/2025 Chair of Trustees Report** 

## **Trustees - 3 Number of Volunteers - 8** 

The charity is doing well, with all the trustees and area volunteers working hard to further our mission. 

Our awareness presentation guide has been drafted, in line with the empirical evidence that verifies our  “13 Weeks” approach to self-checking.  Illustrations for the our new breast checking booklet are progressing.  The adjustments are few but they affect the running order of the presentations,  which must be reflected in our new booklet.  As soon as everything has been approved by the Board of Trustees the booklet will go to print and the adjusted presentation will be “road tested” at community events during our next quarter. 

At these presentations, we will be “road testing”  games-based ideas to collect evidence on how effectively our presentation methods fulfil our charitable purpose.  This evidence will fine tune our methods before introducing them to our volunteers.  At this point we may consider producing a video for volunteer training purposes only. 

All the trustees have attended an online “Trustee Induction” course provided by NCVO. 

The Secretary has reported no new legal threats and no amendments needed to policies, at this time.  His Report will be voted on at this meeting. 

The Treasurer has produced  the “End of Year” Financial Report and projected a draft budget,  for our 2025 to 2026 Financial Year. These will be presented and voted on at this meeting, 

The database of local communities, groups and wellness events is steadily growing, and the best means of using this asset will be added to our future planning. 

The website is almost complete and ready to go live, within the next few days. 

With two teams of volunteers, based in Norfolk and Staffordshire, we held six events over six weeks during September and October.  Public attendance, at these events were 10% up on last year.

## **SUMMARY** 

Our fundraising events were down by 40%, this year. If our income had reduced in proportion, our donations from area teams ought to have produced £330 more than £1467. _This may be an indicator of how feelings of declining prosperity are affecting our donors._ 

It would be wise to factor this into our budgeting.  It would also be wise to find alternative ways to add to our fundraising in the future.
