Trustees are appointed under the terms of the constitution by the members at the AGM. There were eleven trustees in 2022-23. ## **Objectives and Activities** The objects of the Association shall be to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of The North West Community Health Partnership Area without distinction of sex, sexuality, political, religious or other opinions by associating the local statutory authorities, voluntary organisations and inhabitants in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities, or assist in the provision of facilities, in the interest of social welfare for recreation and other leisure-time occupation so that their conditions of life may be improved. In furtherance of the above object the Association shall have the following aims: a) To promote events for seniors in the North West Area Community Health Partnership Area of Glasgow. b) To consult with seniors on service provision and their needs. c) To promote and encourage development opportunities for educational, physical and social activities for seniors. d) To consult on representative structures for seniors in the North West Area of the City. ## **Key Management Remuneration** In the opinion of the trustees, there is one member of management, the Development Officer. During the year total employer costs were £13,889 (2022: £7,389), the current staff member is employed p/t at 16 hours per week. ## **Achievements and Performance** This year showed a marked improvement from 2021/22 when the organisation was prevented from delivering services due to COVID restrictions. During 2022/23 we have had 1,441 seniors attend our events, this is an increase of 1,001 people from 2021/22. We now have 147 members which is up from about 50 in 2021/22. The membership currently consists of 19 men and 128 women aged from 63 to 96 years. Our events in 2022/23 have included 9 socials with attendance rising in the year from 57 in April 2022 to 86 in March 2023 and 6 bus trips with an average of 47 people per trip to various locations including Largs, Ayr and Dundee. We hosted a Royal Jubilee Event in June 2022 in partnership with Knightswood Connects with 140 people attending. We also had more tailored events which had been requested by members. These include a men-only poetry and song afternoon (24 men); a trip on the Waverley and a canal boat; a First Aid session; a Murder Mystery away day; a trip to a community Panto (135 people); our regular Winter’s Lunch (90 people) as well as two members meetings to let seniors contribute to decision making.
