Our Years in Review
Welcome to our Annual Reports, a comprehensive overview of our organisation’s achievements, challenges, and milestones over the past years. Within these pages, you’ll find insights into our progress, financial performance, and the impact of our initiatives on the community we serve.
Annual Report 2023/2024
It’s been a year of discovery at Easy Care Gardening (ECG) and certainly one that I have personally enjoyed. Managing and leading the organisation has been a great experience. We have continued to provide such a significant number of gardening services to older people in the Ku-ring-gai, Hornsby, Ryde and Hunters Hill local government areas. Whilst the total number of hours delivered was slightly below last financial year, we have performed well in comparison to other CHSP providers, and this is down to the commitment of our volunteers and staff. There were also some challenges with the weather, with a hot summer, and a El Nino season until May 2024.
