Steven Tait
Chairman
As we are all aware the past 12 months has proved to be a very difficult period for us all. The pandemic
rought about by Covid-19 has tested us all, in our personal lives. working lives and businesses and charities
have been no different. We have all had to adapt our ways of working to ensure that we remained
sustainable for the futufe.
l am very proud of the efforts the staff team here at Firthmoor have gone to during the pandemic. As key
workers we have ensured that our nursery remained operational to ensure other key workers could
continue to work and support everyone ihroughoul. The dentist area has remained operational and acted
as a centralised ernergency hub supporting the Who￿ town. We ensured that our most vulnerable residents
acros5 Eastbourne had a point of contact and we acted a5 a community support hub for anyofie that needed
us. We leaflet dropped areas where we knew residents might be or likely to need help or be i501ated during
a very difficult time
to ensure we could get them the essentials like day-to-day shopping, prescriptions
and for some just a friendly voice at the end of the telephone.
As the pandemic went on, we opened our doors as a community testing facility where over the course of
being operational we helped and tested over 2010 individuals. Once the vaccine programme was up and
running, we again jumped at the chance to be a community-based vaccine centre where we have
administered I" and 2nd jabs of the vaccines to hundreds of people. Both these programmes have ensured
that we have supported our local residents, whilst feedback has told us that local on your doorstep health
services really help to 5UPPOrt the wider NHS programmes.
During the pandemic many of our services were stood down so we turned our attention to the inside of the
building. We have completed an update throughout with a fresh lick of paint, which includes a new colour
scheme throughout the reception and café area. The outside areas had all been prepped and tidied in
preparation of the reopening of all our setwices- the planting this year that have been used at the front of
the building and in the garden, I hope have brought some welcomed colour and cheer to everyone passing.
We also had our boiler replaced with a more eco-friendly model which includes i)etter functions for heating
temperature management to ensure we are making the best use out of it.
Even during a pandemic, we were still able to deliver The Easter holiday activity programme alongside the
council team. Over the course of two weeks 30 children took part here in Firthmoor with a full range of
activities wtth meal provided. Our café team also made up and delivered over 270 hot meals to other
locations delivering the same programme throughout the town.
This past year really has shown the best of people in our community. Many alike have come together to
support one another, family, neighbours. friends and colleagues and everyone should be applauded for all
that they have done. It's been a very difficult trme for many of us and I thank everyone, my staff team
especially for their continued efforts throughoul this past year.

No one could have predicted the impact that Covid-19 would have on our lives this last year. Whilst the
challenges have been immense and the uncertainties relentless, I do believe our charity has stepped up
to the mark in supporting our community. Firthmoor was one of the first charities to work with the
council to become an emergency hub for those who were extremely clinically vulnerable and most in
need. In the height of the pandemic, we were supporting people with food parcels, pharmacy
collections along with collecting residents shopping.
We were pleased to be one of the first in the country to become a community covid testing site and
have supported our town with completir)g over 50,IK)O covid tests during the last year which has
undoubtedly controlled the spread of the virus and saved many lives.
We have kept regular communication with residents over the last year both by telephone and social
media and understand the impact that this virus has had on our resident's mental health. Working in
partnership with a local gym we were able to transform one of our meeting rooms into a new wellness
centre where people can come and get fit.
Despite being closed for significant periods throughout this fsnancial year awe have been able to
maintain a strong and resilient set of accounts_ The government support has been welcomed and the
charity has benefited from furlough and local authority support grants.
As we reflect on the year, we are proud of the work our team of staff and volunteers have done for our
community. Team Firthmoor served our residents when we were most needed and look fotward in
welcoming back service users soon.

to help them during the pandemic and as we ly)unce back to some sort of normality- We are pleased to report
that most of the service users and groups have benefited from government, local govefnment, and charity

During the last year the community centre has remained partially open to support Burgess & Hyder dental
practice with emergency care through the 111 NHS direct service. Woiking in partnership with the management
team we were able to support them to deliver this service of which there were only 2 operating throughout
county Durham.
In line with government legislation our nursery h35 been closed for 3 large proportion of this reporting period.
We have however been able to support key worker families Wlth continuinE to provide services. We
recognised early on during this pandemTrc that we had a responsibility more than ever before to step up and
provide for our community. Our committed staff team remained professional and dedicated to the service
we provided, often during periods of increased anxiety as the national and local Covid-19 rates were
accelerating.
Despite the challenges we have faced as a charity by the national restrictions and lockdowns we have
benefited financially by the government financial support packages. We have received several lockdown
grant5 ovei the last year along wilh utilbsing the furlough scheme and mole recently the flexible ftjrlough
scheme as we have stated to reopen.
The Nursery continues to be overseen by our head of children and young people who is supported by a
deputy nursery manager and 3 Senior nursery practitioners. In addition to this we employ 15 childcare
practitioners and at the time of writing this report we had 110 children enrolled within our nursery.

Due to government legislation our café has had to close for s significant period over the last year. We have
however remained open to produce hot mea15 to our nursery for the children who were attending under the
key worker criteria. In addition to this, the café has also provided hot nutritlOU5 meals for 120 young peripli as
part of Darlington Borough Council's Easer activities programme.
Whi15t in lockdown we took the opportunity to refurbish and re paint the cafe kitchen. This investment has given
the kitchen a fresh clean and professional feel which has been received well by staff and Service users alike. In
addition to this we have also made a number of investments in equipment by purchasing a new 2-barrel fryer,
a new commercial range cooker and an industrial microwave. This investment is Dart of our olafis to develop
our menu and service in the coming year.
Despite the challenges we have face as a charity by the national restrictions and lockdown5 we have benefited
financially by the government financing support packages. We have received several lockdown grants over
the last year along with utilising the furlough scheme and more recently the flexible furlough scheme as we
have stated to reopen.
Due to government legislation, we took the decision to suspend our activities programme until further notice
however we continue to engage with our community via our social media platforms to understand and tease
their appetite for future event. Whilst our trips programme will not start until summer 2022, we are already
starting to make plans for Firthmoor LIVE 2022 which will be a 2-day event.

been able to help our residents with e5serbtial items. we 5UPPOrted over 250 residents with food parcels during
the hight of the pandemic which provided over l(MJO meals.
In addition to food support. we were also able to support those who were clinically vulnerable and shielding. We

There is sound evidence that volunteering brings benefits to both the person volunteering and the people and
organisations they support. We have developed a strong volunteer database this year. We have focused on
supporting key activities within the charity whilst also supportirig individua15 to gain confidence and experience
in those roles and we are pleased to report that our volunteer numbers are increasing steadily.
We are delighted that we have been able to work in partnershrp with the bread and butter thing over the last
year by providing room hire along with a fantastic team of volunteers. This gre3t project works with corporate
food suppliers to save and redistribute food that would have gone to landfill. Residents who user the service
receive approximately £35 work of shopping for £7.50. So far. the project has delivered 1980 food parcels to
families seThing approximately 70 families per week. This has saved 24 tonnes of food from going to landfill and

set and how they most benefit the community.

and members, who access the centre daily
O Ensuring an environment where people want to soend more of their social and recreational tirp.g i¥hilst
providing healthy meals at affordable prices
rf Working towards fully maintaining our self-sustaining community centre free from a further
dependence on grant funding
O Promoting the advancement of education and health through the provision of an in-house nursery and
dental practice
We regularly advertise for vacancies on the board through our website. Facebook page and via our community
newsletter. We are also signed up to the local community voluntary seNice network.
Our new trustees are elected at the AGM for a one-year temi and are eligible for re-election each year, with
no term limit. Trustees elected at the AGM can reside in any area of Darlington. Those wishing to be co-opted
orb to the board during the year must be a resident of the countil wards of Eastbourne and La5celles.
There are four officer positions available for election at each AGM. Honorary Officers are elected and the

received before the meeting and a twenty-one day general notice of this requirement is given.
All our new trustees will be familiarised with the practical work of the Charity and how the Community Centre
is managed. The Chief Offiter, in partnership with the secretary. is responsible for arranging induction sessions
for new trustees, which involves issuing email accounts. ID Badges, explaining the strLbCtures of the Charity,
its constitutional workings, and its current range of business activities. This includes a deep dive into the
accounts and business plans. All trustees are required to sign the code of conduct and agree to our 'good
governance, policy statement. Training is carried out as appropriate and. where necessary. guidance is

that exist in the local community and how those 'needs' could best be met. From this starting point services
and activities can then be established. alone or in partnership with our community. We ore committed to

Aside from the income generated from groups who use the Community Centre as a base to provide social and
recreational activities, the principal funding sources for the charity are now derived from Our in-house
childcare operations and room hire income.
Following constraints on local auihority funding in Darlington, which led to all subsidies to Community Centres
being cut to zero. the charity has to ensure all income to cover running costs is derived from busir)ess activities
e.g. roomloffice hire charges. nursery places. café sales etc.
Aside from retaining a prudent amount of working capital, the charity has no funds to invest. If the charity
had sufficient resources available Trustees would consider the options available. however. at this present
time the Management Committee has decided to focus resouices towards a continued cycle of repair and
renewal of the building until such time as large surpluses can be accumulated for future planned investments.
In order to highlight any risks to the organisation. the Board of Trustees and Chief Officer continually examine
the charity's cash flow and reserves through regular budget reviews and updates. led by the treasurer. The
charity has established polices with regards to finance. employee relations and operational health and safety,
which are reviewed annually by the secretary. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have also been
established to mitigote the risks the charity faces.
In the past the charity used to be highly dependent on grant income, however, business income now forms
all of the charity's resources. so emphasis on where the risks lie has changed. Greater attention is now being
placed not just on how we condurt our business, but with an empha515 on developing a strong leadership
team, with accountable and dynamic managers.
The charily's current reserves statement and operational directFon is to maintain sufficient working capital
and mar¥age cash flow to meet any known commitments. In most cases, the charity's annual expenditure
budgets are not executed until predicted income budgetary targets have been achieved. This approach has
been adopted to ensure that there is a sufficient flow of cash to meet known commitments.
The charity has a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets
held by the charity should be between 3 and 6 month5 of the expenditure.
Procedures are also in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers. clients, and
visitors to ihe centre.
As part of the annual budget approved each April, the charity treasurer. on behalf of the trustees, conducts a
review of the approved budget each October_ Where appropriate, amendments will be made to ensure that
any risks are identified in all OUT operations.
In the forthcoming year the charity plans to continue providing the wide range of service5 ènd activities
outlined above and throughout this document and will encourage and support more groups and local people
to take advantage of the excellent facilities the charity has to offer.
