HOWDEN CLOUGH COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
Charity 1162508
Annual Report 2021
Howden Clough Community Association is a CIO with voting members. Through 2021, it had
four Trustees, three of whom are elected, and one ex officio. The Membership register was
revised in August 2021, and is again being revised for the 2021 AGM. The Financial
Procedures Policy has been revlewed. as has the Volunteer Policy and Handbook.
It was possible to resume face-to-face meetings of the board from March, and nine formal
meetings were held during the year, a5 well as the delayed AGM. We are grateful to St
Saviours, Church, the Cobbles. and Hannah's for accommodating us when the Centre wasn't
free.
During the summer, most of our regular users resumed activities, although sadly a number
of our longstanding friends have had to give up. A full occupation is being re built and the
opportunity has been p055ible for a number of short course5 and one off bookings and
activities, such as coffee mornings and showing the World Cup Final, and Holiday activities
were provided for young people.
The National Lottery agreed to us using the under spend on the revenue grant to extend the
funding of the Development Worker until July. She had accepted a one year contract for the
whole of 2021, and in view of the additional responsibilities. particularly in supervising the
Kick Start trainee, her hours were increased, and the post was re8raded as Developrnent
Manager. She has continued to work on behalf of the Trustees to develop the Community
Centre as a venue and hub for the provision of services and activities for the benefit of
residents of the Howden Clough area, liaising with the Local Authority and other bodies with
similar aims to achieve this.
Recruitment of a young person as an assistant to the Development Worker through the local
authority gateway, under the government Kick Start scheme took some time, but he wa5
eventually with us from April to September. As well as general duties. he became involved
with Kirklees youth service in looking at the needs of young people in the area, but due to
his personal circurnstances the potential level of planned contribution was not fully
achieved. We have been accepted by Kirklees and DWP to take a furthertrainee
New and improved signage was purchased and Instslled by volunteers. A grant application
to Batley and Birstall Community Fund for the purchase and installation of a garage for
storage of equipment and materials was successful. but they did not feel able to support our
request for funding for replacement chairs and a roadside notice board, and opportunities
to obtain these are still being sought. The kitchen roof has been repaired.
