The Trustee51Directors would like to thank them for all their hard work in managing the Centre and developing new and exclting community aclivities at Chain Lane. All Tru5teeslDirectors and Commlttee Members give thelr time free5y and have received no remuneration from Chain Lane for their work. The amendment we made to our Mems and Arts to officially hold Boardlcommittee meetings face lo face, on line or a hybrid model has continued lo work really well, giving members flexibility as to how they attend. Our Confirmation Statement and Annual Report and Financial Statements for Companies House and Annual Retum for the Charity Commission were all submitted well within thelr required timescales. We were not required to submit our Trustees Annual Report and Financial Statements to the Charity Commission as our annual Income for the year was slightly below the £25K threshold at £23K. Our arrangement with Roll Model CIC for the management of the cent has continued to prosper and benefit both organisations. This is subject to a Service Level Agreement. All our Pollcies, Procedures and Risk Assessments were reviewed and updated in line with our schedule. New Policies this year were Social Media Policy, a more detailed Reserves Policy and a User Disciplinary and Grievance procedure.

The agreed very modest increase in Hire charges was implemented with no loss of Users due to this. Although all TrusteeslDirectors know they have the responsibility for the finances, the Treasurer and Secretary ensured that bi-monthly budget monitors. the latest bank stalements and the Banking App which enabled real time viewing of the Centre's financial position. were available at meelings to enable effective monitoring. We Currently have liquidity foi at least 12 month which is held in our Reserves.
