Bdl|| |---|---|---| |Achievements|Despite the problems
ca(Ised to everyone
by coronavirus
throughout|| ||the year, we pressed on I/vith seeking funds to start the refurbishment|| ||ofthe former Baptist Church on Hill Street, Poole, which we bought|in| ||February 2020.We were extremely
successful
in this, securing over|| ||f56,000 in grants as welll as substantial
donations
from local people,|| ||schools, churches and businesses.
In addition tothe pro bono architect|| ||Ken Morgan, we secured pro bono help from eight other local|| ||professionals.
In July 2021we were granted
listed building
and|| ||planning
consent and work started
in September. The work is|| ||proceeding
in phases with the intention
being to complete the main|| ||hall, office, kitchen,
laundry,
showers and toilets, which
will enable|us| ||to move in. As work progressed,
substantial
problems tothe flooring|| ||were uncovered,
which delayed
us and increased the cost ofthe|| ||project. An additional f25,000 in grants has been pledged to this work|| ||but not yet paid in (and another E35,000 in May 2021).We hope to|| ||move in before the end of2022.|| ||Trustees Kate Mellor, a grassroots
property
developer,
and Martin|| ||Finch, a retired
builder, are leading this project alongside architect|Ken| ||Morgan.|| ||In October 2020 we welcomed
Dorset's
High Sheriff and his wife to|Hill| ||Street to be briefed on our plans for the building
and future activities|| ||to help clients.|| ||We have named this building Genesis Centre.|| ||Su
orted Accommodation|| ||We entered the sixth year ofthis project. During this year, we have|| ||had three tenants. Delays in moving people on and finding new|| ||tenants were brought about by the pandemic
and Iockdowns. Sadly|| ||one person has now hadlto be given notice to leave as he persistently|| ||broke the terms of his licence, did not engage with EDAS (Essential|| ||Drugs and Alcohol Services) and has become a risk to others
in the|| ||house. Steve, who moved into local authodity
housing
in September|| ||2020,took advantage
ofthe Daisy Fund grant to buy essential|| ||furniture
and appliances for his new home. Before Christmas
2020 our|| ||first female tenant moved
in after being homeless
and put in a 8&B|| ||during the lockdowns.|| ||~Dro

w|re higher than
in the previous year, at|| |||E178,817in 2020-21|versus E69,353in 2019-20.This is largely|| |||attributed
