## **Trustees Report** 

## **Trustees:** 

Dave Bennett RMN Elaine Bolton Elton Anthony Crisp 

## **Stucture:** 

The Centre is run with 1 full-time staff member and 3 part-time staff. Other staff are employed as and when grants make it viable on short-term contracts. Other than that, the Centre relies heavily on volunteers. 

## **Activities and Objectives:** 

The Centre and Community Shop are situated in the middle of the most deprived area of the UK. The objective is to be a friendly and welcoming safe space for people to visit, whether it is to join a club, seek signposting to other help, or just to chat. 

The shop runs a cafe two days a week with subsidised tea, coffee, and cake. So as well as cheaper shopping, it makes for a hub to chat. 

The Centre runs various clubs and activities, including Lunch Club, line dancing, knit and natter, bingo sessions, Yoga, and Tai-chi. It also hires out the hall to other groups such as Carpet Bowls, Seated Dance, and various NHS initiatives. Including well-being checks, talking therapy sessions, the carpark us used by the Diabetic Screening Van. 

. 

## **Achivements:** 

We have had a higher than ever footfall this year. The Centre is in use 7 days a week. The Community Shop is open 3 days a week and has been benefiting people from the area. It is running a subsidised coffee morning, where customers are encouraged to chat. They are also signposted to the main centre or various agencies if and when needed. Health agencies have been using the Centre as an outreach. The health checks have gone down really well, as has the diabetic eye screening; both of these mean that health care is on the doorstep, which is very useful now that the buses sometimes aren't able to run on the estate because of the continuing problems with potholes and inconsiderate car parking along the Brooklands front in the summer. 

**Finance:** We have been fortunate over the last four years with funding from the Mulberry Trust. We have also had smaller pots of funding for projects such as the pantomime

(Grassroots) and the lunch club (Asda) Sport England supported the Yoga and Tai Chi class. This funding comes to an end in June. We are currently looking for core funding .
