**Aims and Objectives of the Charity** 

- That the Centre should be home to the maximum number of diverse recreational activities which would encourage the widest possible participation by the community, whilst at the same time ensuring financial stability. 

- That the centre should actively promote young people’s participation in sport and recreation by offering considerably reduced rates for those groups actively coaching young people. 

## **Focus of Work** 

SturFit’s aim throughout the year has been to ensure that the centre is run in a safe, efficient and welcoming manner. It has been a difficult 12 months running the business around Covid-19 guidelines and restrictions, even when allowed to open it has meant reduced numbers of people and not being able to maximise all the facilities and equipment offered. That said, we have survived the year and go into the 21/22 year looking more hopeful. 

No new investment took place over the year as we have had to eat into our reserves to keep the business going. Post Covid-19 it is hoped that investment in the Gym/Centre will resume. 

It remains SturFit’s aim to secure a lease from Dorset Council to enable the Trustees to manage the centre in a more efficient way and in turn increase utilisation of the asset. However, this has not moved forward due to Covid-19 prioritisations. 

We still hold £70K award by the former North Dorset Council. Funds were assigned for redevelopment of the centre as detailed in the outline plans submitted to the Council in 2019. It is hoped that once a new lease is in place opportunities will arise for further grants to complete the project. 

## **Public Benefit** 

- Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic the centre has opened when allowed to do so and operated within the Government guidelines. This has meant set booking slots, spacing out equipment and additional cleaning of equipment and the centre to ensure the safest environment for users of the facility. 

- A number of Government grants have helped the centre survive through this very difficult time and to ensure the facility remains available. 

**NOTE:** Going into the 21/22 year Covid-19 continues to have a major impact on our business.
