CMTH Carnoustie Medical Transport Helpline OSCR kottth(har¢y Rtp51Qd Stm) 5crM8111 https:/lwww.carnoustiehelpline.or9.uk TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT 2021-2022 Carnoustie Medical Transport Helpline (SCIO) was originally founded in 1981 as Carnoustie Comrnuni Care by Such was the success of their vision that, in 2010, the then Carnoustie Community Helpline was awarded The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service. Now known as Carnoustie Medical Transport Helpline (SCIO), it is the Helpline's sole objective to transport patients registered with Parkview Primary Care Centre, Carnoustie, and who would have difficulty with other forms of transport, to medical, dental, and optician's appointments. Destinations include Ninewells Hospital, Dundee; Perth Royal Infirmary; Stracathro Hospital; Arbroath Infirmary, and, of course, Parkview. Our drivers are volunteers, and use their own cars. We have no paid staff, and are given the use of office space at Parkview Primary Care Centre, free of charge. Patients are picked up at their address, taken to their appointment then driven safely back home. Although our service is free, donations are always welcome, and help us continue to provide our hugely popular service to the people of Carnoustie and the surrounding area. NB - Due to the Covid pandemic, the Helpline has been suspended since March, 2020. Camowtbe Medkal Tramport Helpllne (SCIO) li a Ch leer8d In Scotland No. SC04812L

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, our last two AGMS were held by post so it is gratifying that at last we were able to meet face-to-face. However, it was disappointing to note that only 11 people were present, including Trustees.

TREASURER'S REPORT thanked everyone for helping make last year's AGM-by- ss. "And I'd also like to offer a big vote of thanks tc our Ind ent Examiner for producing the End of Year Balance Sheet for us. is an enthusiastic supporter of the Helpline and has kindly agreed to continue as our Independent Examiner. "As you will see, our year-end accounts show virtually no incom r the very kind donation of £300 by regular service user daughter, we would have had little income over the whole Iiiiancial year. "Except, that is, the princely sum of £1 .78 in interest we received from Scottish Widows. This on nearly £18,000. "We started out on March 1, 2021 with total funds of £19043.88. "And at the end of this financial year, on February 28, we had funds totalling £18198.27. A deficit of £845.61. "Our Scottish Widows account stands at £17754.19. "Outgoings consisted of mainly standing charges. "Public Liability insurance was £237.64, the same as the previous year. 'The bill for our BT phone - which has not been used at all in 21-22 - was £589.34. "The cost of running our website was £204.55, stationery, printing and miscellaneous costs, £115.86. "In summing up, the Receipts and Payments Account shows we made a loss of £845.61. "It's a shame we've had to pay out so much when we haven't been operating our seNice, but there is no way to avoid these overheads..

ep regret that the audience was told one of the Trustees, had died durin ugh not due to Covid. Members were also told that would not be standing to continue as a Trustee. She was thanked sincerely for her many years of service to the Helpline both as a driver and Trustee. Members of the audience were asked if they would like to become a Trustee, but no one put their name forward. ANY OTHER COMPETENT BUSINESS There was only one topic- THE FUTURE OF THE CHARITY The subject was thrown open to the floor, and a healthy discussion took place. Everyone was agreed that, after 41 years it would be a terrible blow to the Carnoustie community if the service was to fail. But with only 10 drivers and 7 telephonists (as volunteered at last year's AGM) it was agreed the Helpline did not have enough volunteers to offer the level of service we had been used to providing. The Covid pandemic is not solely responsible for the lack of numbers. We had been losing drivers steadily over the years, and recruitment drives had not helped. So, before taking the dreaded decision to fold the Helpline, a recruitment blitz was decided on for one final attempt to keep the service alive. will approach local newspapers to suggest an article along one last chance to save the Helpline". To coincide with this, WIll enter pleas on FaceBook and Irene Hoar will approach IoLdl i I Iii IiJi¥l s in the hope they will make announcements from the pulpit. Everyone reluctantly agreed this was the only way forward, and to hope for the best. The future of the service would depend on the success of this latest recruitment drive.
