									Coffee Shop The reopening in September saw	a
									revamped cafe renamed as The Old School Tearoom
									with a new logo. Donations from the Centre's	Knit &

Natter and Craft Groups went towards new
crockery and linen enhancing the tearoom and
giving it a modern twist and friendly vibe.
New rules on allergens came out and a system to
check on the 13allergens is being implemented.
Following the February reopening, adverts were
placed around the village and on social media
resulting in the recruitment of14new volunteers.
50 now we have 9new tearoom volunteers, 2 new
bakers and 3handymen who help maintain the
building. All these volunteers have become an
integral part ofthe Tea rooms and each one is
highly valued.
We also have new tables on trolleys which make
moving them much easier.
Before Christmas and the second lockdown the
coffee shop joined with the craft group to put on a
Victorian day; food from a bygone era could be
sampled.
Environment -Planted areas around the village
continue to look good thanks to volunteers. One of
garden supervisors has had to retire due to ill health
but 2 people have stepped up and taken on this
role. New ways oflooking after planted areas have
been explored throughout the year and have begun
to be implemented eg volunteers to collect, plant
up and care for their own adopted planters which
result in variety and ownership.
Hanging baskets have increased to 22this year and
costs are covered by the 200club.
Community Orchard —Kirklees Council continue to
cut the grass, with extra work being done by
volunteers eg strimming areas for wildflower seeds
to be planted, litter clearing. A variety ofactivities
have taken place in this area some by the 20/o
wildlife group (a village group ofvolunteers),
including a workshop on building a bug hotel.
Families were particularly interested in this. Due to
local requests for a place to sit in the orchard a start
has been made on planning to site a bench.
Approaches have been made for planting at the top
ofthe community field adjacent to the Centre. The
idea being low insect friendly bushes will improve
the look ofthis open space.
Sharing wildlife seeds is a new idea and will be
based in the library at the Centre making them
accessible for all.
Social group - because of Covid nothing was
arranged at the end of2021.
The team were raring to go after Covid restrictions
were lifted and they helped with the Victorian
Christmas Family day whilst being busy arranging
various events for later in the year.
April saw the start ofevents with a successful social
evening with entertainment and refreshments.
Magazine and Website
The magazine continues to give information to
residents as well as containing various interesting

articles including history, environment, as well as
local adverts, local surgery and individual items of
interest. This is delivered to over 2,000 households
by volunteers.
Transport —information relevant to Kirkheaton is
reported on the website and magazine
Grants &funding - Our grants officer worked hard
through the year to obtain funding to allow us to
bounce back from the Pandemic. There have been a
number ofgrants awarded from various bodies.
[SeeFinance section] These support Yetton
Together, its activities and running costs and
maintenance ofthe building.
This made a big difference to us especially since
when we are not open there is no income but there
are still outgoing costs to cover.
FUNDRAISING AND DONATIONS - Yetton Together
is supported by the community in various ways
including 200club, individual and other community
groups donations, collection boxes in various local
businesses and various fundraising activities put on
by the various groups which are well attended.
Funds go to planting around the village, projects we
are involved in or for supporting groups. As they say
every bit helps especially in these trying times.
WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP
Through the Environment group we continue to
link with the 20%for wildlife group and join in with
various activities such as:-
- building bird boxes and bug hotels in the Orchard
-winter workshop held at the Community Centre
making Christmas wreaths and fat balls for birds.
-bat box workshop
In late November 2021a Victorian Family Fun day
was organized by Kirkheaton Craft group based at
the centre working with the Coffee Shop, the Knit &
Natter group and the Social group. A busy fun day
was had by all.
Jubilee Celebrations- "Picnic on the Green"-
Working together with the local Scouts and Guides
groups, Kirkheaton Youth Football Club, Parish
Church and United Church we put on an enjoyable
event bringing the community together on the field
next to the centre. Sundown Swing band was a big
highlight ofthe day entertaining families who
brought their own picnic. This was funded by grant
from KBPC,donations from Mark Fynn
Photographer and the Creative Craft group based at
the Centre, with Yetton Together making up the
difference in costs.
We continue to support the Dalton food bank and
there is a collection for food stuff in the Community
Centre
