Governing Document
Scott Hall Community Centre is a constituted charity under Charity Number 1047011. Originally registered on 7[th] June 1995, we are at present working to a constitution adopted on 26 November 2006.
Organisational Structure
A management committee drawn from the local community, St Michael’s parish church and Bedford Borough Council meets monthly to oversee the running of the Centre. Trustees are appointed from the management committee to undertake the legal responsibilities of the Charity.
Risk Management
Risk assessments are carried out regularly regarding the management of the building and the groups that hire it, to ensure that appropriate systems are in place, so that it is safe for hirers.
The fiances are examined on a monthly and financial basis, with annual independent audits undertaken.
Objectives
To promote the benefit of all the inhabitants of the area by maintaining, managing and promoting Scott Hall in order to provide educational, social educational, recreational, leisure and other opportunities.
Achievements over the last year
Covid led to Scott Hall being closed for all of 2020/21. The building has been adapted to comply with Covid restrictions and our risk assessment for reopening was approved by Bedford Borough. This enabled us to reopen and be the first community centre to reopen locally and were thus able to attract some new user groups, as well as welcoming back many of our regular hirers when appropriate. Two NHS groups have taken two full days each which has resulted in a basic monthly income that exceeds outgoings, and thus gives us a firm footing.
Other regular hirers include foodbank, martial arts, grappling, line dancing, keep fit, religious and slimming activities. One off hirers have included, Bedford Borough and other polling station use. We have not had private parties due to Covid restrictions in terms of socialising and food consumption rules.
The foodbank is hosted free of charge free of charge so that local residents have a local point to collect items.
We lost our permanent caretaker /cleaner after many years continuous service and it has been a struggle to get a replacement. We have had a
temporary cleaner for several months, which has helped massively. Without the temporary cleaner we would not have been able to run the centre and remain open.
The building has been maintained to a high standard and the committee has sought building improvements, which are in discussion with Bedford Borough with a view to utilising the Mayors Climate Change Fund for this purpose.
Future Plans
It is hoped to reopen to parties and other social functions soon and we are also seeking funding to improve the facilities in conjunction with Bedford Borough who own the building.
Advertising Scott Hall in the community will carry on, so that a high profile is maintained. We are always seeking to broaden the activities on offer to the community.
The employment of a permanent caretaker/cleaner is being sought to ensure the upkeep of the building is maintained to a high standard.
A new effective and economical heating system is a top priority. To that end we will be seeking one from Bedford Borough who have responsibility.
Financial Review
Centre finances are on a healthy footing Covid grants have kept us solvent and in fact improved our available resources. The policy is to have at least six months operating costs in reserve and at the end of the financial year we have twelve months worth of funds.
The building fabric is maintained by Bedford Borough, so major outlays are for a caretaker/cleaner, cleaning materials, minor maintenance, gas, electricity, water, phone line and other consumables.
Finances are reviewed annually and discussed on a monthly basis at management committee meetings.
