## **Trustees Report 2024-2025**
**The Association fulfils its responsibility by managing the centre and its activities in compliance with all statutory and financial regulations.**
**The Association has struggled to provide its service to members and users. The Impact of funding cuts to groups has led to a decline in users at the centre.**
**The treasurer has worked hard to review the financial affairs of the centre. There have been some changes to new groups looking to hire. This should hopefully improve with extra time spent on promotion.**
**Although the centre is well used losing a number of groups this year has had an impact on income. This has resulted in being unable to provide charitable events.**
**The committee has agreed this will be a priority for the coming year. Management has done extremely well in maintain a good working relationship with the current users and keeping the building well maintained under difficult circumstances**
