During the ’tiers’ we were able to support Cosy Cuppa by reducing numbers and rotating the attendance list, so that everyone who wanted to attend, had the opportunity to meet friends and enjoy some social interaction, which they had very muched missed. Many thanks to Jane Pollard for facilitating these meetings.

Report by the Chair of Trustees
As we approach the lifting of COVID restrictions we can now start to look forward once again to what we think of as normal and we at OUR CENTRE are busy preparing to start up with life as it was. Not that we haven’t been busy working on behalf of the community throughout the last year; albeit whilst demand for our usual services was initially curtailed by the closure of venues and restrictions of movements imposed on us. Once again, we give thanks to the hard-working team of Matt, Elden and Angie, who have worked tirelessly to uphold the values of OUR CENTRE in supporting the needs of the local and vulnerable members of our area. We have diversified to assist our members by making home grocery deliveries and taking members from Mansfield and Ashfield for their COVID vaccinations. Behind the scenes we have being active in repairing and modifying our bus fleet and buildings. Once lockdown restrictions were lifted, we tentatively began running our popular groups Cosy Cuppa and Seated Exercise and our newly established group for 90+ ages with reduced numbers adhering to the guidelines. However, we are in good shape to get going when the restrictions are fully removed. Once again, we continue to be supported by Nottinghamshire County Council and Ashfield District Council and we are grateful for their continuing help and support. Closer to home I feel that I would, on your behalf, like to give a big thank you to Jean Craske who retired recently from her role as Finance Worker and wish her a long, and happy retirement although I have already seen her ironing in Glad Rags. A welcome too to Paddy Ryan who has joined our team as a volunteer/admin support worker - many of you will, no doubt, have spoken to him on the phone.

Manager’s Report:
A unique year for everyone involved, an extremely steep learning curve and a humbling experience. As a centre we have acquired more skills; furlough, business grants and virtual meetings to name a few. As an individual I have witnessed emotions in people that I haven’t seen in them before; fear, loneliness, anxiety, yearning, confusion and resignation, which has resulted in poorer physical and mental health. Volunteers always go the extra mile but this year we have seen them do the full marathon, so thank you very much. There has been some beauty that has shone amongst the devastation of the past year, not least is the solidarity … and boy have we been cohesive in our support of the community. I’m running out of space but I want to thank Paddy, who joined us in January - however did we manage without him? I also thank the trustees for their support and availability; our funders for their confidence in our abilities; our customers who bring us la ~~ughter and tears in equal measures but we love them.~~ This leads me to Matt and Elden and I haven’t room for all the superlatives I’d need to fully describe how amazing you are - thank you both - you also bring me laughter and tears in equal measure! Angie
Finally, I want to alert you to our forthcoming 40[th] anniversary! We will be holding a celebratory event and opening a new charity shop, here at the centre. Watch this space for further news. We look forward to pressing the “play” button (currently on “pause”) and seeing you all again in the very near future.

Message from our Treasurer:
2020/2021 has been an unusual year particularly from the finance perspective. Covid19 has certainly impacted on everyone and everything. Thank you to Jean who retired from her role in dealing with the day to day finances. Matt took over this role, along with producing reports and taking the lead in keeping the finances of the centre in order. He has done a sterling job, and given the circumstances he has been exceptional in understanding the implications of furlough, which has helped to keep the staff in employment. Elden has successfully dealt with all the business grants and insurances, again this has helped to keep us above water. Despite the challenges, Our Centre continues into 2021 to celebrate its 40th Anniversary. Thank you for all the dedication and we remain hopeful that when restrictions lift we can look forward to getting back to full capacity.
Pauline Stojanovic
Message from Matt:
Well what can I say about the past 12 months ….Coronavirus hit us like a high speed train and we had to move fast to ensure that we located and applied for all grants for which we were eligible. As always we pulled together as a team and forged our way through the fog. The priorities were to try and keep staff in employment [thank you furlough] and keep the transport workable for emergency health appointments. So far we have delivered, but we need to keep working towards self – sufficiency; it’s always out of reach but that’s the aim. Thank you to all the drivers for their support and customers who keep me sane and make crazy depending who they are :-)
Here’s to a prosperous 2021-22
Matt Pike
Minibuses:
To save on insurance costs, most buses have been taken off road and parked in the compound. I initially adapted three buses to make them Covid secure, which enabled safe transport for emergency health care appointments and vaccinations. I have fitted all minibus driver cabin areas with protective screens, sanitisers, visors, face masks and antiseptic cleaning equipment. I have continued to do minor repairs and adaptations to the buses, ordering supplies online to reduce costs. I’ve negotiated with insurance companies, photocopier suppliers and card machine companies for best deals, assisted Matt by doing the bank deposit runs and attended strategic meetings around transport needs. I am the first call with any breakdown issues and unexpected maintenance faults and I’m also a driver. Thank you to everyone at the centre for pulling together during a difficult time.
