alongside organisations in the voluntary, charity and statutory sectors with a common purpose of improving the conditions and quality of life for residents in the neighbourhood. To provide facilities and activities for education. recreation and leisure time and to contribute to improved health and wellbeing of the residents in the area. To establish or secure a Community Centre and to maintain, manage and co-operate with any statutory authority in the Maintenan and management of such Centre for activities promoted by the Charity in furtheran of the above objects. Activities undertaken during the year to support these objectives. We continue to run the Community Pantry which is open on a Wednesday afternoon from 2pm- 3.30pm and then from 4.30pm- 6pm and operates 50 weeks of the year. We continue to see an increase in the numbers of people attending as well as some regulars queuing for well over an hour before it opens, to ensure they can get the best bargains. We have also been able to run a separate project whereby we have been giving people a bag with various ingredients in with a recommendation of how to produce a meal from the ingredients included. The Community Café continues to be popular particularly with elders, vulnerable residents and those facing disadvantage, we do try and include healthy and non-meat meal options on the menu. We are constantly looking at ways to improve the Café and increase the number of customers. We have been able to purchase new tables and chairs wrth funding from various SoUrs. We have continued to grow the number of volunteers helping at the Centre and have had positive feedback about the difference and being involved in their community means to them, especially in respect of self-esteem, mental health and indeed one volunteer going onto get employment at a local school. We have continued to work with other statutory and voluntary organisations working in the area and have continued to look for
grant funding to help keep the ntre open and deliver activities to meet the objectives of the Charity. Achievements & Performance A number of community events were held throughout the year including a Christmas Fair where over 60 children were able to receive a free gift from Santa. We also hosted a Musical Bingo, Race & Quiz night, 80s night and community BBQ to encourage local residents to come into the Centre for an affordable, fun afternoonlevening. The Centre has continued to provide a range of activities run at or managed by the Centre. These indude a play group, community pantry and café. We have also held a free Glass workshop for children during the February half term holidays. We have established a new lunch group for the over 55s "Together on Tuesdays" with lottery funding that provides a two course hot meal for £3.50, free tea and coffee along with bingo, a quiz and often other entertainment. This is proving very successful. The Centre has worked with other local Organisations and the Hall is hired weekly by Rainbows, Brownies, Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers. Additionally, we have a weekly Baby and Toddler singing and movement group, three martial arts groups, Live Life Better Derbyshire and Citizens Advice sessions running from the Centre. Local Organisations such as South East Derbyshire Music Centre, the Labour Party and local Schools all hire the Centre on a regular basis for meetings and events. The Hall continues to be a popular cost-effective venue for local residents to hire for amongst other things, children's parties with a private party hire most weekends. As always, we would like to thank the volunteers who have given their time and support during this year. We would not be able to operate without them. Finances
