**CENTRE MANAGERS REPORT** 

Barnet Multicultural Community Centre (BMCC) re-opened fully in August 2021 after closing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

During the Covid-19 pandemic and following government guidelines, BMCC continued to provide support and services to the local community during the lockdown with food shopping, prescription support and food bank parcel to our service users especially those who were shielding due to clinical vulnerability and/or going through chemotherapy/radiotherapy during this difficult time. 

BACA recommenced face-to-face activities in line with government guidance in August 2021. BAOPA recommenced face-to-face activities in line with government guidance in September 2021. BSCG continued to meet with clients one on one through appointments to provide support and advise, throughout the year. 

Following the government guidelines, BMCC was made Covid Safe, allowing the local community and businesses to hire BMCC to generate some income, especially after being closed for nearly 3 years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown. 

Due to Covid Lockdown, the resident groups were unable to produce any rental money, potentially leaving BMCC financially vulnerable. I secured further Business Rates Covid Grant through constant efforts of £13,759 and venue hire income of £20,960 were generated as our building was Covid safe. This saved BMCC from having to rely on its reserves to survive during the pandemic. 

In conclusion, even in the face of a pandemic, BMCC was able to maintain its aims through volunteering, offering services and assistance to the community, and adhering to all government rules. 

A particular appreciation goes to the part-time caretaker. His dedication and flexibility have been integral to running the Centre. 

BMCC looks forward to another year filled with service provision, activities and further development.
