**Bank:**

## **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 focus, as Covid-19 restrictions were removed during the year, has been to encourage member and users back to the sport centre with the aim of achieving post Covid19 levels of usage, while continuing to ensure that the centre remains a safe environment for users. 

The 2 years of Covid-19 restrictions were very difficult times for SturFit but thankfully with the grants awarded and using our reserves we have managed to keep our heads above water, and we hope to resume investment in the Gym/Centre during the 2022/23 year. 

SturFit would still like 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 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 at the centre to ensure the safest environment for users of the facility. In fact, even with restrictions lifting, we have continued to request gym users to take an antibacterial spray and cloth to enable them to wipe down the equipment after use. 

- The combination of Government grants, our own financial reserves and a great team have enabled the centre to survive through these very difficult times and to ensure the facility remains available to the local population. 

**NOTE:** As we neared the end of the 2021/22 Financial Year our Income levels have almost fully recovered to the pre-Covid levels.
