Review of previous year
Deputy Manager/Warden report
WOW! What another truly outstanding year we have had, from maintaining our year-on-year track record of performance, – constantly increasing the level of income we generate to the level of investment and improvements we have made this combined really puts Patshull on the map, making us ‘a site of choice’ to visit!
The busier we are, the better the site will become, as we always reinvest 100% profitable income.
We wouldn’t achieve this without our fabulous team of volunteers, who all give up their time to make what we do possible!
From Bob, Richard, myself, and our wider Trustee Board – A HUGE THANK YOU TO! You should all be extremely proud of your contribution; our successes are down to the achievements of everyone!
I personally think it is such a real privilege to be able volunteer at Patshull and when we look back over the last year makes every hour spent volunteering so worthwhile.
As ever, we are always looking for additional volunteers to join our team. If you are interested in volunteering, in a wide range of different roles, please do get in touch with joe@Patshull.org.uk!
