Section D                      Achievements and performance 

## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

The year has been dominated by two main objectives: A. To see a return to pre-pandemic levels of output 

B To manage the replacement of the Community Centre Roof 

A. Resuming normality 

It has taken some time for activities to resume post pandemic levels of operation and attendance. Some people have failed to return and prefer to access religious activities online. This has had a negative impact on income. 

Groups have slowly resumed their regular activities. Inevitably, some activities have ceased eg Wednesday Café due to staffing but other groups have expanded such as the Arts & Crafts Group 

However, we are using the hiatus caused by the pandemic as an opportunity to examine what we are doing, why we are doing it , how we  are doing it and should we still be doing it. An example of this is a major overhaul of the pastoral care system. 

B. Replacement of the Community Centre Roof 

Although only 50 years old the Community Centre Roof needed a complete replacement. Costs were estimated at 200K, and we had raised approximately 70K.  External assistance towards funding proved impossible but eventually the Methodist Church at local level agreed to loan the difference. Fortunately, costs came in 35K lower than initially anticipated but we are still faced with a significant amount to pay back. 

We could not use the Centre at all for the ten-week replacement period and fortunately most of the lettings were able to be temporarily re-homed in the church building. Sadly, one or two could not be accommodated and have moved permanently elsewhere. 

We are delighted by the improvements made to the insulation and lighting as well as fire safety as part of the work and already the centre is attracting new lettings.
