Centre R tsrt
Entering Aprtl 2021. tbe goven]mcnts covid-19 road niap was giving the advice to 'stay at
home as much as possible.. On 17 May 2021 Testaurants cafés and pubs were pern)itted to
serve people sitting at a table inside. At this poinL the Board of Tn]stees took the decision not
offer table service iu the coffee shop because ID 2020 there had t*en low attendauce and
some difficulties in enforcing the ￿￿eS and regulations detern]i￿d by the gov¢rnment.
Insterf it Wgj decid¢d to take a stepped ¥pproYdeh to re-op¢ning the business:
l. Re-open the Coffee Shop from August 2021
2. Re-0￿n room hi￿ from November 2021
3. Re-open Day Care services from January 2022
The government delayed st¢p 4 of their roadmap to 19 July to Incre￿ the vaccinated
populatio￿ allowiDg the cliarity's timeline to be n￿intaine(L
The charity is vcry gratdul to the Coffee sI￿p team, notably Sue ColliL% and Tina Clarke,
and the team of volunteers, who. in an extremely difficult and stressfi]I pertod have brought
this important revenue stream back on course. In line wilh 2019 trading, March 2022 showed
an income of £8.5K.
Rovm Hire
Room hire re-opened as planrLed in Novemb¢r 2021, and many communtty groups and local
organisations ren¢wcd their contraL'ts. 'I'his continues lo be an important income stream for
the charity. a potential growth area for the b￿Siness.
Day Care Serviees
The Friendsbip Club, the Stroke Club and the Forget Me Knot Cafe re￿pelled &s scheduled
in January 2022 and by the end of MaTch attendancc had grown by 350/0. despite disruption
from covid- 19.'The charity welcome new stsff n￿rnber8 Rowen Graham and Emily Carstairs
and extend many lanks to thc volunteers who supwrt these sessions. Th¢ provision of Day
Care has always required addttionaI funding as th¢ attendance fee (sustainable and
affordable) does not cover the operational cost. In early 2022 the ChimioT Paris Council
supported the charity with a payment of £IOK and committed to a six-month review of
fill￿Illg, the Chinnor Village Centre is very gratefid for this. Without the ongoing fllw]cial
support of ¢1 local counciL the continuation olsuch scrvices is at risk. The TTUStees aTe also
gratsful to the drivers and escorts of the charity's minibus. who provide trdnswrt for Day
Care members who might otherwise not be able to attend Day Care. Spc£ial thaJ)ks to Steve
Doel, one of the drivers, for his continued availability and sllp￿rt when re-establishing this
service.
Commurrity Links
There has been regular engagement with the Social Prescriber and Age UK local
representative to help shape Day Care services.

FuDdrai8ing
The Fundraising team continucd to bc led by Elaine Stokes and her team of helpers including
Julie BennetL Andrea & CbrAS Melbourne, Jo Smythc. Sharon Findlow, Victoria Paterson and
Cindy Bull. lThe r￿st fundraising event of the period w&s a Quiz Night 26 November. Owing
to the restrictive rules on social distancing in force at the tim< it was decided that tbis Quiz
Night would be instead of the Victorian Christinas Market nornmlly planned for the end of
November. The Quiz Night raised over £500, a respectable total for this type of event but
considerably less than a Victorian Christma8 Market.
The Father Cbri5tmas sleigh reft￿bIShed by Alan Mawby. and was in use during two
weeks before Cliristtt]&8. An additional event marked the stsrt of S8nta's journey involving
Christm&s music, refreshments and games. which raiscd £154. AccoEnpanied by the volunteer
elves and Father Cbristsna4 the sl¢ighs nightly journey was a welcome treai for families in
and aTound Chinnor during those two week4 and record levels of donations were collected
amounting to £4K+.
The Bums Night supper, initially planned for 10 January 2022, w&s cancelled due to surgtng
covid_ 19 levels in the community.
On¢ Lottery
In March 2022. the decision was takeu by the Board of Trustees to close the 200 Club in
favout of membership of the One Lottery, a national scheme, set up to provide the
infrastructure required to run a lottery in house. The￿ is no limil on the number of members
or tickets and so it offers an opportunity to exparAd membership and to provide a consistent
income to the Village Centre but at the same time reducing the time used in administering
such an activity.
Crant8lInvestwents
Grants received over the ￿TIOd total £27.5K with 51P/o SUPPOrting Day Care s¢rvices. The
balance w&8 for project specific putpose4 but these will in turn increase he number of people
visitinglusing the Ccntre, which WAII then augment the revenue that can be used for non-
specific purposes i.e., wages.
Over the next 12 n￿nthS remainÈng investments will be liquidated to slrn?gthen the charity's
weak cash p05itioDlavailability.
Other
The n)inibus was not used until January 2022. and there is an urgent ne￿ for additional
volunteer drive￿, aq many previollg volunteers 8re either ineligible or UDable to resume
driving duties.
The Centre is grateful to Cindy Bull who takes minutes at the Board of Trustees and Public
n)eetings during the reporting period.
