St Paul’s Disability Care Group Trustee 2023 Report
Unfortunately our group did not operate during the financial years 2020/21 or 2021/22. This was due to Covid restrictions.
Our group re opened in September 2022 after over 2 years of closure.
Our Management Committee remains as follows:
| Mr James McGuigan | Chairperson |
|---|---|
| Miss Bernadette Armstrong Mrs Frances Doole |
Vice-Chairperson Secretary |
| Mrs Mary Holden |
Treasurer and Safeguarding Officer |
| Mrs Colette Deirdre McGuigan | Assistant Treasurer |
Our group committee has remained static for a few years now as we have not had the opportunity to hold an AGM due to Covid. When we reopened in September 2022, we had to re-evaluate our whole situation as we had no income for over 2 years-this is the same I am sure for most organisations that were closed due to Covid.
Our priority this year has been to re-engage with our members and reestablish the bonds of friendship and trust that existed pre Covid. The mental health of both our members and our volunteer helpers has been affected due to Covid and we are grateful that we have been able to open again. We are slowly getting ‘back to normal’ and we have already gained 3 new members from opening in September.
We are indebted to the work and support of all our helpers and indeed for the support and trust that is placed in us by our members and their families.
Mr James McGuigan
Chairperson
