The Putson Community Association Ltd Trustees’ Report for the year ended 30 September 2020
The Trustees of the Association met several times during the year, in person and virtually.
The second half of the reporting period was dominated by the COVID 19 pandemic and the work of the Trustees has occupied two main areas -
-
The reduction / ceasing of operations in line with government directives, including:
-
mitigating losses applying for funding / grants from Herefordshire Council and HMRC
-
identifying savings in the staff expenditure, including placing staff on furlough/flexible furlough/lay-off terms, as appropriate
-
Securing and maintaining the building and site, including limited community access to the grounds for recreation
-
Liaison with long term hirers as to relocation / suspension of activities
-
The negotiation of contracts and preparation of Saxon Hall as a vaccination centre for use by the Wye Valley NHS Trust from 4Q 2020 for 4 months, including:
-
Preparation of site and buildings, including evacuation of Saxon Hall equipment to storage adjacent to
-
the premises, Health and Safety / Hygiene preparation
-
Changes and improvements to the physical environment to improve ‘one-way system’ operation in the main and small halls
-
Installation of extra lighting / replacement of time expired car park lighting / provision of electrical supply and lighting to the main gate.
The Trustees are extremely grateful to Herefordshire Council for initial the grant of £10,000 awarded in the early stages of the COVID crisis, this ensured the survival of the Association as a going concern, which would have been at risk of failure in early 2021 otherwise. Subsequent grants from Herefordshire Council and HMG’s furlough scheme enabled us to continue employing 1 full time and 3 part time employees and maintain our reserves.
The Chair of Trustees wishes to thank the Trustees, Volunteers and Staff for their commitment and assistance in maintaining the profile of Association and Hall over the last twelve months, and to our hirers, both long-term and occasional, for their understanding and flexibility during the year.
