  • Annual Report for 2015-16

    Each year we share a report on our activities over the previous financial year.  This year we’re presenting our “report” visually before the AGM – come along for the 3pm showing to find out more.

    A more formal “Report from the Trustees” has just been issued in DRAFT and can be read here. (This only becomes final once adopted at the AGM in September).

    The previous Annual Report (for 2014-15) is still available online at www.vanel.org.uk/report2014-15

  • Meet VANEL Staff

    Before and after the AGM itself, there will be a chance to network with each other and with VANEL staff and volunteers. There will be a number of stands explaining some of the VANEL programmes and activities.

  • Nomination Forms

    The Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company (Voluntary Action North East Lincolnshire) requires its members to elect an Executive Committee at its Annual General Meeting (AGM). The Executive Committee should have at least five members and not more than fifteen members.

    We therefore need a maximum of fifteen nominations for members of the Executive Committee. Nominations must be from an organisation that is currently a Member of Voluntary Action North East Lincolnshire (VANEL).

    The Honorary Officers, namely Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer and Minute Secretary will be elected from amongst their number at the first meeting of the Executive Committee following the Annual General Meeting.

    N.B: All new Trustees will now be interviewed
