Its aim is to provide good accommodation at a reasonable cost and accessible to all the community, to keep users happy and to make sure the building is secure, well looked-after and pays its way. The users are important to us and we welcome ideas and suggestions. In setting the charity’s objectives and planning its activities the trustees have given consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. Fairford Community Centre aims to provide affordable, village hall style accommodation to the people of Fairford and its environs. It endeavours to attract users from all age groups and spectrums of the population. The trustees feel that the increase in bookings and number of regular users of the rooms at the Community Centre illustrate the importance of this facility to the local community. The users of the Centre also patronise local businesses, this has a positive impact for local commerce which in turn benefits the community. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. ## Section D Achievements and performance March **2012** **TAR** 11 Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** The year started as last year with the centre closed due to the Covid pandemic. Following government guidelines, we were able to reopen to the public partly in March 21, and fully from the end of June. During the enforced closure, outgoings were reduced as much as possible and the opportunity was taken to survey the building and plan long-term maintenance and upkeep. Our policy of maintaining adequate Reserves enabled us to continue operating, and with a Covid grant from CDC our finances are still good. We continue to provide a well-equipped, well maintained multi use building; a non-profit making organisation and a registered charity, accessible to all. As well as church events and meetings we are popular for family parties, christenings, and wakes. Almost all our regular users are back with some new ones, including a support group for new mothers, Working 4 Welfare Community café every Wednesday morning, Craft group, monthly Bereavement café and dance classes for children, as well as many U3a activities, and we now have more than 50 regular users attending the centre for all sorts of activities.
