## **Chairs Report – Year ended March 2021** “It’s not the view, it’s what you see.” The Centre as a collection of buildings may not be beautiful, however the experiences that are gained through accessing it more than makes up for this. This year has been the most challenging for a very long time due to the constrains placed on the organisation as a result of COVID-19 and the first lockdown that started on 23.03.21, which continued until early July. There were no school groups that visited during this lockdown period and they only returned for the Autumn Term of 2021 with COVID-19 restrictions and risk assessments being completed by both the school and the Centre. All bookings from all groups had their deposits returned, how two bookings were fulfilled for the August Bank Holiday and a few days over the Autumn school half-term. The business support grants provided by the local authority, Herefordshire Council, on behalf of the Government, provided much needed revenue to ensure the losses in revenue from the cancelled bookings enabled the Centre to survive this tough financial period. Once again maintenance, repairs and improvements were carried out from mid-May through to late October, which included repurposing the outdoor kitchen into a light airy learning space, painting and decorating various indoor spaces and creating more user friendly environments for schools and other informal learning organisations. “It is the job that is never started that takes the longest to finish” In my role as Chair of HOT my gratitude goes to the all the trustees and volunteers, as without your loyalty, dedication and passion for Dinedor the centre would not exist today. We must look to the future, remain positive, harvests are strengths and there are some challenging times ahead and who knows what tomorrow will bring. I remain committed to Dinedor, to the Trust and to our cause, please do not lose faith, keep your eyes on the prize it is achievable.
