HOWDEN CLOUGH COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
Charity 1162508
Annual Report 2023
Howden Clough Community Association is a CIO with voting members. The existing Trustees, three of whom are elected, and one ex officio, continued in position, and a further Trustee was elected at the AGM in April.
Two formal meetings of the Trustees were held, otherwise decisions requiring Trustee consideration and approval were made following consultations on the telephone or e-mail messaging between all Trustees.
All existing activities continued, although one longstanding group had to be asked to leave, as the organiser had been unwilling to make or keep to arrangements to make payment for his use for over a year. Four new group activities were trialled with two being viable to continue at the end of the year. Phoenix theatre ADG again used the Centre for performances. Regular coffee mornings continued. Holiday play schemes were organised by an outside provider, and community parties were held for children and others at Halloween and Christmas.
The Development Manager continued to act 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. Partnerships with other bodies again included activities at the Centre as part of the Local Authority’s initiative to reduce childhood obesity, providing the venue for the second of what are now several “Bread and Butter” centres in the local authority, acting as the Anchor hub for developing health and well being activities on behalf of the local authority, health service.
The public service defibrillator, which had been stolen following use the previous November, was replaced, with the cost recovered under the insurance. A CCTV system, covering the defibrillator and all entrances to the Centre and out buildings, was purchased and installed by volunteers. A damaged lock to the main entrance door was replaced, and maintenance and upgrading electrical work carried out by volunteers. Fire safety equipment was replaced arising from the annual inspection.
