Rockvale Rebound TN Registered charity SC016017 Annual report for year ending 31 March 2025 I have much pleasure in presenting this annual report on behalf of the OffirS and committee members of the organisation. It has been a year of mixed fortunes for the Rockvale and myself for various reasons. At the stsrt of the year we were contscted by West Dumbarton Communty volunteer services (WDCVS) who disburse Council grant money to local organisations. WDCVS on behalf of the Council, were requesting the retum of any unspent transport grant money, (as was the Council's right), which request created massive problems as the money was being used to pay our energy supplier to the studio. l immediately informed the listeners and volunteers and appealed for financial assistance to remain in operation. I wish to thank everyone who responded to mv appeal but in particular to for their kin generosi Ic existence w ewe un raise ith the help and assistance of WDCVS we applied for and were successful in being awar a gian 1,000 from the Robertson trust. In late 2023 our treasurer intimated she would be resigning in March 2024, hence we were rying to deal with the financial problems without treasurer. We were infonned about a volunteer interested in taking up Ihe post of treasurer but on further discussion we leamed that she did not have a computer and had changed her mind. Shortly aftemards our secretsry announced she was resigning. We have had one or two expressions of interest in the post but nothing confirmed. Unfortunately at the time of writing, the post of secretary is still unfilled. ena us o remain in At our AGM the following were elected: Chairperson - . Vice Chairperson - (honorary member). A lady as treasurer bu asou Ine ve she changed her min e were pleased to be joined by as a committee member and team leader. introduced us to a nice young y volunteer- ,who took on the pos reasurer and we are very grateful to her. It is with much sadness l announce the death of who was a lonq standing listener, volunteer, fvndraiser and commi ee mem ero ockvale died suddenly and peacefully in Balquhidder nursing home on 24 April 2024, 1 wis tot everyone for their expressions of condolence and to those who attended her funeral in Balfron in May. Speaking about death, late in 20241 was contacted by a firm of solicitors advising someone had left us a legacy in their will. Once all the formalities were completed, we were sad to discover the leaver of the legacy was Dumbarton listener left us a very kind generous leoacy of just over£25,000 - until the receip awyers letter, we were unaware had died. ank
Due to the fact that one local newspaper became a digital only publication and the shortage of material in the other, in addition to ever decreasing number of volunteer readers, it was decided to move our weekly recordings to fortnightly with effect from 2025.
Finally, I would like to sincerely thank all the volunteers for their invaluable help, without whom we would not have an organisation.
