Chair Persons Re ort It has been a busy two years and the constant that has enabled this community centre to be such a success is our manager Lucy Blalie, she is outstanding in all that she has achieved. Without her dedication to keep driving an agenda of improvement and building on the needs of our community we wouldn't be the successful community centre we are today. Can I thank the committee and the friends of the hall for their support over the last two years. Those friends of the hall and the committee members who helped deliver another successful and fun festival with over one thousand local residents attending. Putting up gazebos, carrying African drums, Selling raffle tickets,but by far the bouncy castle was the most popular attraction with our volunteers v, Without our committee and friends we couldn't have delivered our Father Christmas event or continued to run our happy and friendly over 55's coffee morning . I would like to recognise Fran who been very supportive and flexible in her work to support our well run hall. So much 50 that she now facilitates our well- used stay and play toddler group. Our community builder Stacie has developed a range of initiatives within the hall and we also last summer delivered our first outreach program to a small geographical area within Norden. Feedback from the community and agencies attending was positive. Stacie has successfully funded new groups, equipment and events. Unfortunately, the funding for Stacie's post comes to an end this summer. I would like to say a big thank you to her for her commitment to our hall and community and wish her well in the future. The hall wouldn't be the hall it is today if we didn't recognise the value our users bring making it a such a vibrant and diverse heart of the community. Our established core users are the foundation on which we have been able to build and develop additional services. I want to say a big thank you to all these groups and services. I'm pleased to say that the CAB is now one of those core services and Sarah is well-respected by users of our CAB hub and such a welcome face on a Monday morning. The focus for the hall over last two years has been the development of the support hub, which has grown in strength and is now delivering an established program of services. The managers report will outline those free services. We
have also been keen over this time to develop Health and wellbeing classes and initiatives within the hall. We have said goodbye to users over the last two years and welcomed many new ones. It is sad to be saying goodbye to the Midwive5 who have been a good friend to the hall but we are excited to welcome Home Start . And we look forward to working with them and developing a range of new services and volunteers. The Hall for All is a building in the heart of Oakridge but its more than a building it is the heart of Oakridge, and l am proud of what is being delivered within these walls, Thank you
