Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

St. Matthew’s Community Halls Chair’s Report 2021

Early in the year we were contacted by Linda Ogilvie from A Caring Space group who said she was unable to continue as a trustee due to ill health.

At the beginning of the year we started our foodbank with a small grant from ASDA to help people during the pandemic. This was to provide some basic food, sanitary items and cleaning products. We were also hoping to expand on this by getting more funding and running our own foodbank as a temporary relief to cover the luncheon club. However we were unsuccessful with this. We did manage to get some food from the Trinity Church Food Hub.

It was relatively quiet through the year with the loss of two groups. The Baby Bumps group have finally left the Halls and removed all their storage.

Also this year we lost the Judo Group who gave us a donation of £650 and left us the trolleys.

We have also gained some groups this year; We have a new personal trainer doing sessions on Wednesday evenings. Poundfit on Monday evenings.

Rugby tots on Sunday mornings.

We were also approached by local Author Tom Ashton for use of space in the Halls. Although this was agreed, he never used the halls.

Paul has managed to get the annual accounts audited by Sarah Bradley from TI Accountancy Limited, who has also set up a pay role scheme for Judy.

Colin worked in the carpark to get rid of the Japanese knotweed and

other weeds.

Colin has installed a new baby changing unit in the lower hall disabled toilet.

Just before the summer holiday, Beaumont College informed us they were leaving us and moving to the Nelson Street Community Centre. The Tai-Chi group asked if they could take over the garden and turn it back into a grassed area so they can use it for their activity during the summer months. After the summer holidays Beaumont College asked if they could return to the Halls.

We have had issues with a number of teenage boys in the carpark over the summer which we believe are involved with suspected drugs activity. They have also been round the back of the halls in the field as well as around the church.

We then had an incident in the garden with an attempted break in. However this was unsuccessful but they did manage to damage the door in the process and flood the lower hall by putting the garden hose in the gap they made and turning on the water. We had a quote from Holdens Ltd at £3,538.80 inclusive of vat for a new door. Ecclesiastical have paid £3,288.80

About 3 weeks after this incident we had a break in through the scout den door.

Once inside they broke into the 2 small stores at the back of the lower hall and the playgroup/toddlers store then upstairs into the upper hall kitchen. The police were informed & attended the next morning. Nothing was stolen.
