VSC to Celebrate International Women’s Day with Special Guest Nell White
Members planning to visit the VSC on the afternoon of Tuesday, 5th March are warmly invited to celebrate International Women’s Day alongside VSC Staff.
On this occasion, we are delighted to welcome Nell White, founder of Osusu Sa Lone, whose charity was created with the aim of enabling girls to complete secondary school in Sierra Leone. Nell will be giving a short presentation at 1.30pm, 2.30pm and 3.30pm in the Old Reading Room at the VSC.
The VSC is excited to host this event, not only to celebrate International Women’s Day but also to support and highlight this important cause. This is a fantastic opportunity for Members and VSC Staff to learn more about the significance of education for girls in Sierra Leone and how we can help make a difference.
During the afternoon, we will be serving afternoon tea. The Club welcomes donations from anyone who wishes to contribute, with all proceeds going directly to Osusu Sa Lone.
We hope as many Members as possible will be able to attend this event.
CHANGES TO MEMBERSHIP SUBSCRIPTIONS FROM 1st APRIL 2024
On behalf of the Trustees, the Senior Management Team and our Staff, I would like to thank you for your continued support for our Club over the past year.
The global economic uncertainty including the consequences of Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine coupled with increasing interruptions to maritime vessels in the Persian Gulf have had unforeseen consequences on our Club including severe pressure on our purchase prices including energy and food and beverage costs which have seen further inflationary increases over the past twelve months. In the UK economy we have seen the impact of supplier cost and wage increases and these have affected the VSC along with the Hospitality sector as a whole. As we enter into our new financial year, we need to take appropriate steps and respond to these external pressures to ensure that the VSC can continue to deliver improvements to the Club and enhancements to our offer and meet its charitable objectives, including providing free Respite and Welfare Breaks to injured serving personnel and their families.
We recognise that the coming year will be one of continued economic uncertainty and in order to help our financial position the Board has come to the view that it is necessary to increase our Membership fees from 1st April 2024. The changes are as follows:
Our single former serving membership fee will increase by £4 to £55.00.
Our single family membership fee will increase by £4.50 to £72.00.
The increase for a single former serving member equates to 7.6 p per week and represents an important factor in enabling Club to continue to provide high quality services to our members and beneficiaries.
Your continued membership and support of the Club are vital for the VSC, as we look to continue to respond to the economic challenges, we all face. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Today, we are thrilled to introduce you to our brand-new Victory Services Club website.
Our previous website has served us well for the past 10 years. However, in this rapidly advancing digital age, we need to leverage the latest tools and features to allow us to have greater control over website content. Our new WordPress website replaces the existing platform and will bring a number of improvements including the flexibility to showcase the unique aspects of our Club to a wider audience. We believe the changes will contribute to a more engaging and user-friendly experience, as the website content evolves over time.
Although the website may initially look a little different, all the content has been migrated across from the existing site. The Member Portal area of the site remains unchanged. Members will continue to book and contact the Club as you currently do so.
We understand that with any significant change, there may be a few tweaks required along the way. We ask for your patience and understanding as we work through any adjustments that may be needed over the next few months.
We look forward to this new chapter and the enhanced possibilities that our updated online presence brings.
Thank you for your ongoing support of the Victory Services Club.
