HUNTINGTON COMMUNITY CENTRE CHAIR’S REPORT
5 July 2021
Due to the continuing Covid pandemic, not a lot has happened at Huntington Community Centre since the last AGM on 7 September 2020. We did have limited bookings in September, October and December 2020 and have been able to take a few more bookings in 2021 as the rules have eased a bit. However, the Centre would have struggled without the support of the City of York Council’s second small business grant and their Restart grant paid in April 2021 for which we are extremely grateful.
Tracy has continued to work for one or two half days a week, fitting in with the bookings to ensure everything is sanitized as it should be. For the remaining hours that she would normally be working, she has been on flexible furlough with the Government scheme paying for these other hours. It is unlikely that this situation will change in the immediate future.
Most of the bookings have taken place in the double front rooms, with the Board room being used for smaller meetings or when there is more than one meeting taking place. The Bellerby room has been a useful area to store additional tables and chairs.
The Centre has adopted the necessary regulations with hand sanitizers in place in three locations in the entrance hall, a one way system entering at the front and leaving at the rear, and a policy of keeping doors and windows open during bookings. All areas are sanitized between bookings.
As regards repairs and maintenance, the regular annual checks by Advance Fire and Yorvik Electrics have taken place and we are investigating improvements to the fire alarms. Quotes are being obtained for repairs and replacement of the double glazing on the windows at the front of the building, and for repointing works on the outside walls. Not to tempt fate here but there have been no leaks in evidence since the repair work was carried out on the roof last summer. New blinds have been put in the Board and Bellerby rooms by Haxby Blinds.
Unfortunately, it has not been possible to reopen the Café since the outbreak of Covid as initially it was not allowed and, more recently, there are not sufficient bookings to make it financially viable. It is intended that the area at the rear of the building will be improved to enable an outside space for people to use as an extension to the Café, but this will not be happening until Spring 2022.
I would like to thank the Trustees for their continued support and particularly Karen for her hard work as Secretary.
