Objectives:
Rossington Good Neighbours promotes the welfare of the elderly and vulnerable residents in the Parish of Rossington. Our customers are 50+ but we welcome their carers or family members who assist in their wellbeing. During this year we have widened our remit to include Rossington Outreach Group which is a respite service for Adults with Learning Disabilities.
Principle Activities:
Every Wednesday and Thursday a freshly cooked two course meal is provided at Rossington Memorial Hall. We use fresh ingredients and employ two cooks to ensure a good standard is upheld. We submit a menu to our customers every month and alternatives are available if required. We rely heavily on local volunteers who come to help prepare the vegetables, serve the lunches and clear up afterwards.
We also have a delivery van that delivers to those who are unable to attend the Memorial Hall.
Prices for the meals have been increased this year to £4.50 for lunch at the Hall and £5.00 if delivered. Even at these low prices, because of our continued efforts to keep costs down we still manage to make a small profit.
2022 2023 Achievements:
2022 2023 has been a tough year – many older people are still struggling to get out and about after Covid and any indication of an illness and they stay at home. Many of our older members have passed away and gaining new members has been a struggle. We do advertising and leaflet drops to encourage new clients.
Funding:
As stated we gained grants from many businesses: Rossington Parish Council, Rotary Club and SYCF
Reserves:
At the end of March 2022 we had £13,068 reserves. This is a decrease on the previous year.
Looking Forward:
We are hoping to gain grants for promotion, which will be a leaflet drop in the Rossington Today (local magazine) which is delivered to all homes in the Parish.
Insurance:
Rossington Good Neighbours are covered by Zurich Municipal Public Liability Insurance
