Trustees Annual Re ort 2023-2024 Our biggest achievement this year was having solar panels and a battery installed. The grant process was long winded and complicated but we finally had everything agreed and the panels went live in June. We achieved 213 fL¢nding from grants and used our reserves for the final third. This meant our total commitment was just under £10,000, from a total cost ofju5t under £30,000. We were concerned that we were coming out of a 3 yr fixed utility contract and the prices would increase massively so to have the extra benefit of generatin8 our own electricity and exporting any excess was reassuring. We have yet to see across a whole year what the financial benefit will be. Unfortunately we have had a spell of losin8 a few larger hirers in a short space of time-which did cause a concern. This was for various reasons from lack of numbers to groups not receiving funding and so had to stop to people simply moving on. We are working hard to build up new groups. We are continuing to chan8e our lighting to energy efficient LED'S and are working our way round the building as and when we have the money. The building itself is now 32 years old and is getting a little tired. We have had to have roof repairs and electrical work done to keep up to standard. What has not helped is a problem with squirrels accessing the roof space and eating electrical cables. This will be an ongoin8 battle to repair holes to Stop them getting in. We continue to run our Toddler and Solid Silver clubs and they are much enjoyed by all who attend. We would like to thank all of our very kind Volunteers, as without them it would be impossible to run such 8roup5.
