Charity shop AGM

On Wednesday 7th May the AGM of Audlem Charity Shop was held at the Bridge Inn Audlem

It was very well attended by volunteers past and present.

Helen Beardshall, the charity shop Chair, opened the meeting with praise for all volunteers for their hard work, generosity and time so freely and willingly given.

Helen commented that the charity shop, even though, due to bad weather it had had to close for 7 Saturdays it still had a splendid year.

The financial report was given by Carol Harker, Treasurer.

The accounts show that the shop has had a record year, so much so that a total of £55000 can be donated to our well deserved chosen charities.

This year we welcomed Cheshire Buddies which is a charitable organisation which supports children and young people with disabilities, their families and their siblings through activity groups, holiday clubs and residential breaks

This grants were distributed as follows:

• £4000 to ADCA Audlem & District Community Action.
• £3,500 to Wingate Children's Special Trust
• £3500 to The WheelyBoat / Bus
• £1000 to Wybunbury Anglers Association
• £1000 to Community 1st Responders
• £2000 to Cheshire Buddies.
• £40,000 to St Lukes Hospice.

All these charities benefit so many in our local community.

Thanks were again expressed to all volunteers and also for the generosity of all who donate their items so that The Charity Shop can carry on going from strength to strength.

Helen thanked everyone for coming and the meeting closed at 2.45pm
