ril 2020 to 31" March 2021
This, as for many others, has been a very difficult year for BCH. The onset of the Covid 19 pandemic,
issues around the finalisation of the new 25 year lease, financial concerns all contributed to a very
uncertain environment in which BCHS ability to operate as a safe public space was severely impacted
and planned repairs maintenance and improvements had to be delayed.
Throughout the period Trustees met and extensively used social/electronic media to discuss and
agree the necessary steps to try and secure the long term viability of BCH.
Although closed for much of the year, BCH opened for a limited range of activities over a restricted
number of weeks, but always in strict accordance with Government restrictions and RAD/ACRE
guidelines. All appropriate risk assessments were undertaken and risk mitigation strategies adopted
(e.g. enhanced covid terms of hire, cleaning, one way system, hand sanitizer stations, covid first aid
box, track and trace registration and social distancing posters etc).
BCH (after first verifying eligibility) applied for and received a number of the government Covid 19
related grants made available to the hospitality/charitable sector and also received a number of
donations, both of which we are extremely grateful for.
Expenditure was limited to those items necessary to meet all ongoing legal and health and safety
requirements and other essential items necessary to preserve the hall in its pre-covid condition.
Discussions continued with Derbyshire County Council to ensure the long term security of BCH as a
community resource.
As a result of these steps, the Trustees are pleased to be able to report that as at the end of March
2021, BCH remained a viable public space for community use in the future. The Trustees remain
committed to reopening the facility for a wide variety of activities, as and when Government
restrictions and RAD/ACRE guidelines allow, but with continued strict adherence to all necessary risk
mitigations. With the assurances now received from Derbyshire County Council and the Financial
Position now secured (Financial accounts to Year ending 31 March 2021 have been produced and
subject to independent review), the Trustees plan to recommence a programme of planned
maintenance, repairs, and improvements as contractors become available. However Trustees have
also taken a prudent approach and agreed a suitable reserve against future unexpected events.
