Other achievements have been mainly based upon further improvements to both the fabric and exterior of our main facility. Financial review This year has been the most succesful year since our charity was established in respect of increèsed monthly average revenue both from hire of the facilities and trading activities. Plan5 for future periods Plans for future periods our focused in three areas. Firstly, further key improvement5 to our facility in key areas such as secLJrity. sanitation and upgraded fixtures and fittings. These are aspects which can be funded directly throgh specific grants targeted at these areas. Growing usage as proof of our capability to meet the needs of a wider number of community groups is key too being successful in securing such grants. Additional improvements, which cannot be secured through grant5 will need to be funded through increased trading and fund raising. Secondly, to provide improved community open areas and sports pitches. Our Charity has recently secured a thirty-year lease on over eight acres of public open space around our facility. This area will require securing significant levels of funding some of which has already been secured from organisations such as Wakefield Council and FCC Waste. Thirdly, the closest to the aims of our charity, is increased usage of our facility and the external land by an increased number of residents Wlthin the wider Altofts area.
