Para 1.20 | In January and February 2021 the activity of the Community Hub was developing well. We hired out rooms for example for birthday parties, a book group quiz and we had many pending bookings when Covid19 arrived. In the ongoing financial year of 2020 our activity was severely constrained by Covid19. The building belongs to Lambeth Council. Therefore, policy on closure etc during Covid has all been determined by Lambeth Council. The building was completely closed from March 2020 to July 2020. It was closed again in November 2020 and again at the end of the year. During periods when we could use rooms, we were required to have approval by Lambeth Council of a Covid Risk Assessment for each activity. The Risk Assessment process moved very slowly. Our first activity returned mid- October, but as above, further closures meant that this was very intermittent. Our desk hires in the Enterprise Centre similarly recommenced in October but closed again in November. During 2020 we recruited four new Trustees who were able to learn much about the project and their role before the hub activity resumed. In the period of Covid19 we were able to complete the development of a new website funded by the Heritage Resilience Lottery Programme in 2018/19. We were able to complete a Brochure also funded by HLF. The Brochure was distributed in June 2020 when Covid restrictions permitted. During 2020 we firmed up our plans for the Café in the building. |
We reviewed and republished our Business Plan. At the end of 2020 we were in a strong position to develop successfully when Covid restrictions able to be lifted.
