## Trustees’ Annual Report ## Tutbury Old School Community Association (TOSCA) Ltd ## 1[st] August 2022 – 31[st] July 2023 The building and its users have continued to thrive this year. We were delighted to receive a significant grant through ESBC as they distributed the money from the residential development. We have therefore been able to ‘futureproof’ the building, with new double glazed windows and secure doors. This should help to reduce our heating bills and definitely improves the look of the building. We have also installed heating in the ‘house’ end of the building. Tutbury Preschool remains by far our biggest user, but the building is now in use every week day and every weekday evening. Weekends are more or less free, with occasional party bookings or community events. This is something we could look to build on. The granting of a long term 25 year lease from Staffordshire County Council is a major achievement and one which will help us to apply for other grants if required, as well as giving our resident groups more stability. We could also look to do more fundraising and raise our profile to attract more volunteers. Thank you to the trustees for their dedication over another year.
