R*vl•w of thè year The main event for the Robin Centre this year wa5 movlng into our brand new premises across the courtyard from Our old home. The construction of the new build, funded by the Governmenys Youth Investment Fund to the tune of over £3 million, wa5 Prtmarily to support our sister charity, the All Saints Youth Project. Part of the concept was that the Robin Centre's old premises should be remodelled for the beneftt of youth work and wider cornmunity purpose5. The buildlng work progressed rapidly but ne¥erthele55 took up most of 2024. It caused 50rne disruption to our routine. mainly thai members had to arrlve from the Vlllage Square where special arrangements were in force to allow our bus, taxis and members, families, own cars to Cross the normally pedestrlan12ed area. With good 5UPPOrt from our landlord's tearn this passed off successfulty. and disturbance from the buildin8 work itself, though much of it took place Just￿UtsIde the Centre, was minimal. In January 2025 we moved Into the new buildlng. It Is light, alry, wlth a larger and more conveniently shaped lounge and dining area, and a much better kitchen area with more facilities. There is a lar8er office and a small private room for interyiews, staff breaks and the like. We now also have air conditionin8 as well as heating. Members, staff and volunteers have all been dell8hted wlth our new space. Providing a stimulatlng and varied day for our members remains at the core of what we aim to athleve. In addition to the regular pattern of exercises. game5. quizzes, craft work and the markin8 of special occasions throughout the year. we were pleased in September to take everyone out in two groups to Stratlord on Avon for the day. We have also been outfor lunch in a local pub. Meanwhlle, our resular hot lunch service is a hl8hll8ht ofthe day for members. Membership numbers continued at a reasonable level though financiallywe recorded a small overall deficit. This would have been worse had we received all the taxi invoices which we should have. In lune 2025, after the end of the reporting period. we addrèssed this situation with incTeases in our char8é5 and the continuing inflationary pressures mean that this, re8fettablyi remains unfinished business. An important element of our work 15 SUPPOrting the tra5nlng of local students wishing to gain qualrficatlons In health and social ca￿. Since March 2024 we have provided Work experience to twenty or so students from three local colleges to hèlp them complete their NVQ lÈvels 2 and 3 irt this sector. As always, the Trustees would like to thank Paula McGrath, our manager. Sally Edwards, her deputy and our dedicated team of staff and volunteers for all their hard work in making the Robln Centre such a wèlcomin8 and well loved place. We are proud of all that they have achieved for our members. Overall 2025125 remains i landmark year in the history of the Robin Centre when we finally moved into the iallor-made accommodation which was always intended for us. Wè are delighted with the outcome and, more Importantly, so are our members and thelr careis.
