Achievements and Performance
For the financial year of 2023 - 2024, Cheylesmore Community Centre has seen a steady
transfonnation to increase ￿at it offers lo the local community and to Ihe intemal worl(ings of the
centre. The year has seen a real increase in bookings from a diverse set of groups and users. Our
offering of creating a space for recreation, social & educational needs for the Cheylesmore community
and beyond is as popular as ever.
We have s&n new board members join d￿ing th's year. to help bring out new voices from the
community and bring new ideas and viewpoints. We look forward lo establishing new processes and
procedures, with a new fcrus on the financial health of the centre, to help ensure we can offer more
help to the community and to bring robust HR prc£edures to ensure a motivated workforce.
ss
One of the important aspects of the community is the educational and wellbeing classes that
take place. As the new financial year afflved, started to offer the centre to the ADHD workshops
and 'Mental Health Matte￿, continued to offer evening drop ins al our volunteer led library.
One new offaring we were able to bring to
the centre was volunteering and wotk
expenence for local secondary school,
Cortey Academy, ￿ere teenagers of 14 arKJ
upwards were able to leam how lo work in a
coffee shop. Important life and wothing skills
such a5 time management and working as
part of a team were imwtant aspects of
volunteering.
Conlinuing our work with edue8ting and wellbeing. during the summer the centre was able to offer
space for the Guide Dogs charity, where sessions for children were put on. This was a fantastic
opportunity to understand and wort( wth dogs.
Finally, sports groups have seen an increase at the centre: with Ariel Hoop, Black Sun Karate, Sunset
yoga and badminton becoming mainstays at the centre, OFening more sports opportunities to the
community.
For many years the centre hosted Ihe King's Church, having strong ties to Ihe church. We have
continued our strong ties with a growing number of churches that use the centr8 on a Sunday, making
it one of the busiest days.
From June we saw this increase, with additional bookings throughout the week from these churches.
Public services
The centre's long and st￿led history in offering the I(￿al community public Se￿iceS continued with the
centre being a polling station in the 2023 local declions. We also hosted the local Councillors and
MP'S surgery, allowng us to be a vital part of the workirbJs of Cheylesmore's local democracy.
We also continued to see increasing bjoking from Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust
and South Warwckshire University NHS FOUndatic￿ Trust. offering rwms for training of their staff and
much more.

Another part of the public setvice boK)kings we've received has been from Cygnet Health, who
continue to use the centre on a regular basis. They are a leading provider of social care services for
children and adults with mental health issues and disabililies. offering vital worl( in the local
community.
In November 2023 we hosted an Adult Social Care Open Day where agerties from across th8 City
came together to showcase seNices and OPFhJrtunities to interested members of the local community.
As 2023 progressed, one big event that was a great addition to the community was the 'Family Fun
Day., a free event ￿1¢h was sponsored by the West Midland's Mayor, with a visit from the Mayor
himself. This offered all our user groups the opportunity showcase their dasses and share the g￿at
wort they do.

Major work has taken place to help obtain funding for our r&ent flooded kitchen, which offered vital
courses in adult education for cookery and similar courses. It has been a major loss to the centre
since it's flooding in 2022, so working wth Coventry City Council and Acom, we made it an effort to
find the funding required. ￿lIst we progressed for the search for fun(Jers, we installed a wheelch8ir
friendly entrance into the training kitchen, alongside a new conidor, ensuriThJ it is independent from
other booked rooms. This wotk can help us to get the centre ready for a potentia new kitchen once
funding is found.
The Sargest improvements to the centre were lo the heatitvJ syslems that were coming of age, with the
installation of 2 new boilers and boiler repairs to another. As part of the futureproofing of the centre,
WOTk wll continue over the next few years to help the centre become more energy efficient and to
keep more heat in throughout the day. We have conbnued to look into other future pioofing such as
solar panels to help the centre to bring do￿ energy costs and help meet its own energy target In
addition, inslalling of energy efficient lights progresses throughout the centre to continue the energy
efficient improvements.
Further fire safety imFyovements were made this year wth the main hal I fire exit door being replaced.
