Trustees Report on Behalf of the Directors of Let's Do Veterans Support & Rehabilitation Limited Chairman introduction Lt. Col. A. Doubleday LLB. The members assembled at Frenches Restaurant to discuss all matters relating to the above-named charity. Matters arising I called the meeting to order and firstly asked was there any changes to either Directors or committee. It was proposed by Brian Mc Kee and seconded by David Mc Mccullough that we re elect all posts from the previous year. Being no objections to this all posts within the Charity will remain unchanged. Kennedy's Lake Site This will need significant upgrades funding being sought to make further improvements which will allow better access etc, etc. Green's Lane Farm The Archery / shooting Range has now been completed but the attention must now turn to the roof which is in need of repairs. Charity office / Care Takers Residence This has been damaged by the recent storms and will now require repairs to prevent more damage and also the safety fencing around the fishing lake has also been damaged. Funding / Grant Funding and Fun Raising This was discussed and with VE Day in May it was discussed that we apply for a grant to run an open day around or near this date. Also discussed various work shops regarding fishing / dry stone wall building and Archery / shooting Target Practise. This will be run both indoors and outdoors. Future Proofing the facility This was also discussed in terms of opening it up to a wider community and further afield to appeal to more groups etc. So facility improvement will be a top priority. Weather proofing and Storm Contingency Planning will be required to assist with storm damage limitation because of increased storms during the winter months. Accounts The accounts have been presented and have been approved by all present including Bank statements. It is a point of note the funds are very heavily depleted and further action will be needed to rectify the current situation
Chairman / Trustee Report continued Right of Way Access This has still not been been addressed Ref., Disabled Access to the Campsite via, Green's Lane. Various Public / Local Gov Bodies have been contacted but little or no advise or contact on this issue has been offered. There seems to be a clear attempt to deprive Disabled wheel chair users access to the site and also Disabled people wanting to fish / stay at the campsite. This must be addressed as soon as can be arranged as there is a clear attempt for thuggery and at least 2 x individuals are known to"Police' regarding threats to members / volunteers and visitors. Charity outlook Outlook remains uncertain regarding on going issues and recent Storm damage and financial short falls. Next meeting To be arranged first week of March all members including committee / volunteers and Directors To discuss open day and week end some time in May /June 2025. Signed by. Directors.
