Chairman's Annual Report – 2022 / 2023.
Introduction: As Chairman of Yatton House Society it is a privilege to once again present this Annual Report. Let me again stress how grateful I am to be given the opportunity to be involved in making a real difference and improving the lives of everyone who uses the services we provide at Yatton House.
I have previously mentioned the many challenges we face; not least because the existing building and facilities needed urgent repair and improvement. However, with your support I am pleased to report that we have already made tremendous improvements and will continue to improve both the interior and exterior of the building.
After the Covid lockdown we have returned to normal 5 day working. Let's hope that we never return to those lockdown days. Since returning we have welcomed new members and we continue to receive further enquiries from Local Authorities. It is extremely important that we encourage a steady managed increase in numbers attending. We now have a total of 24 Members, although not all attend on any one day.
Our Workforce: Jonathan Stephenson was appointed as Centre Manager in 2019, followed in 2020 by the appointment of Christopher Reeve as the admin. support / funding Coordinator. I am sure that you will agree with me that these were significant appointments and have taken Yatton House forward.
I previously reported on the appointments of Anne Malcolm-Duff and Samantha Nicholson. Since my last report I am pleased to report that we have also appointed Brit Scurr and Steph Gray as support workers. Along with Paul and Liz I believe that we have a workforce to be proud of and although there are still many challenges ahead, I am confident that we will give Jonathan and his team our full support.
Refurbishment Programme: I think it is useful to recap in this Annual Report on the refurbishment programme. Since 2018 we have made substantial improvements to the building, Phase 1 included a new front office and reception, a refurbished lounge, foyer and the corridors were fitted with new flooring, redecorated and doorways extended for wheelchair access. A new “Changing Places” facility was also provided with access to a changing table, hoist, washbasin and toilet.
Phase 2 - (February 2021) saw the completion of the total refurbishment of our toilet facilities – now more accessible and easier to maintain to high standards of infection control and prevention. Phase 3 provided a totally refurbished and accessible independent living skills kitchen. Phase 4 was delivered this Summer completing the external refurbishment of the entire building with new insulated rendered panels, double-glazed doors and windows, and new paving.
The refurbishments have exceeded expectations and the improvements to accessibility means for the first time there is an accessible path around the perimeter, providing level access to each entrance.
Phase 5 - We are now looking to raise monies for Phase 5. This is another ambitious project with the inclusion of large internal areas, including the expansion and creation of a garden room, the creation of a backstage storage area, a sensory room and accessible toilet.
Market Garden: The creation of a Market Garden has been a huge success for Members and thanks to a donation of £5000 we were able to begin the process of creating accessible pathways and the creation of flower and vegetable beds. The garden has provided a plentiful supply of
produce which Members have used in their cooking sessions.
Community Garden: Earlier in the year the Marwood Trust who own this piece of land agreed to change the lease from Hambleton Council to Yatton House Society. The Community Garden is beginning to take shape with a new entrance door, new fencing, a gazebo, the creation of paths, sensory area and raised flower beds. A lot of work is still required but we will get there. A huge debt of thanks goes to all the volunteers, members of local Rotary groups and college students who have been involved in helping to deliver this fantastic community project.
Learning Pathways: New for this year are our three Pathway’s aimed at supporting members to achieve their maximum potential. Well-Being Pathway – Structured to meet health and social outcomes through a therapeutic approach, building confidence by participating in group activities aimed a creativity, inclusion, sensory and fitness. Independence Pathway – Provides outcome based skills development and learning across a range of activities aimed at enabling independence and building confidence. Members will be taught practical skills and encouraged to lead discussion. Enterprise Pathway – To develop workplace skills leading to volunteering and employment opportunities.
Finance: Included with this Annual Report are copies of the Financial Statements for the Year ended 31[st] March 2023. You will see that there is a small surplus of income against expenditure and the Trustees are especially grateful to local authorities for continuing to provide financial assistance. A small amount of this surplus will be earmarked to finance future building improvements. Income shown in “restricted funds” refers to donations and grants solely given for specific building improvements.
We are so grateful to all the donors who provided funding for Phase 4 of our refurbishment programme and also to the donors who are providing monies for Phase 5 (mentioned earlier). You will see on page 4 of the financial statement the names of the donors are listed. Sincere thanks to all for your tremendous support.
Trustees: My thanks go to all the Trustees for their invaluable support. To Terry Sutcliffe, Vice - Chairman especially for his expertise and hard work regarding the refurbishment to the building, And, on your behalf a big thank you to all the Trustees – Trevor Gooding, Marion Busfield, Carol Webster and Amy Thompson for their hard work and the conscientious manner in which they carry out their responsibilities.
My thanks to the many volunteers who give up their free time to support the work we undertake. Thanks also to the many organisations and individuals who have made generous financial donations which are absolutely invaluable to the future well-being of Yatton House. We must continue to work hard to improve the services to our Members and with the support of parents and carers, staff, trustees and the many volunteers I am confident we will continue to move forward and deliver services we can all be proud of.
My best wishes to you all
Sincerely,
David Jackson,
Chairman, Yatton House Society,
