FLEETDOWN COMMUNITY CENTRE SWALEDALE ROAD DARTFORD KENT DA2 6JZ
Registered Charity Number 1051065
Report from Trustees: financial year ending March 2024
The Centre continues to run with the help of our committed Volunteer Committee. Our regular groups continue to enjoy the benefits of the Centre and cover the ages 0 – 90’s. All our groups have the required insurance and policies in place to safeguard their members. A copy of all groups insurance policies is held by the Volunteer Committee. Enhanced DBSs’ are in place where necessary.
We are still struggling to increase our commercial hirers. Our regular User Groups have not returned to their fund-raising events, and this year we have not held any major fund raising, due to lack of support. Our Drama Group, who have significantly helped increase our finances, now have a successful Youth Group. Both groups have added to the number of productions they perform this year, which is great news for the Centre. Our Guiding groups have started to increase their numbers which again is good news.
We are still in the process of negotiating a new lease for the Centre. Our lease expired in early 2023, and to date it is still ongoing. Although we have been in discussion with Dartford Borough Council, we do not have a timeframe for when a new lease will be in place. We, therefore, continue to run under the original lease, which urgently needs changing to give us more support, so that we will continue to be in a position to maintain the centre for the foreseeable future. The Centre was surveyed in March 24 and a report submitted, to date nothing has happened, although we have been informed we are a priority. We applied for and received a grant from the Council in December 2023, to install new electric heaters and make necessary changes to lights and plumbing. The application for grants will continue to help with the maintenance of the Centre.
