Maintaining the Centre on the higher side of the town offer5 the potential for further enrichment activities close to one of the Primary Schools and the main Secondary School population. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE The two offices, on the first floor of the building, are occupied by the same tenants as the last financial year. The hiring of the rooms, in the Centre, are at an all time high. For example, one week in March, 2024, these were hired out for 50 hours which is unheard of. Some of the regular clients, of the Centre, have made bookings in advance and well into 2025. One of the Centre's Clients, a Community Church, has booked 3 hours on one Sunday Evening in every month which is an unusual booking. The level of bookings, on occasions, reaches saturation point this means that prospective Client are offered alternate bookings which they usually accept.
