Since Covid lockdown we have had our best year in the increase of new members. Our postal numbers have remained steady as most people have given us e-mail addresses.
Our main source of income has been through donations and grants, however this has seen a decrease on the previous year mainly due to some grants being time limited and some not coming through till after the year end.
We have had 2 successful Weekends Away, the Friendship Weekend in April and Turkey & Tinsel in November. We have a had several days out which have all been well attended
We have a Saturday Fun Morning for our members which has seen an increase in attendance over the last 12 months.
The Committee hold separate meetings to discuss Society business and keep our Members updated with monthly newsletters and e-mails. We also have a Facebook page to keep Members updated and this has seen an increase in usage.
All our Trustees are volunteers and bring a wide range of experience, to enable our Society to continue to thrive
