This is compromising the plasterwork and
threatening to make it unsafe.
The trustees monitor all these issues at
regular meetings to safeguard against such
failures. Funding bids are prepared regularly
to cover the costs ofthe service, its changing
needs and to upgrade facilities. Discussions
about the renewal ofthe lease ordifferent

repeated requests have been made for
essential maintenance. Adverts have been
prepared to recruit a new senior youth
