## **Section C                    Objectives and Activities** 

**2022 - 2023 report** : 

Bitterne Manor Community Association Charitable Incorporated Organisation (BMCA CIO) 

The Organisation was still recovering from covid restrictions for Q2-Q4 in 2022 and we only had 1 hire bookings which did not progress due to the cleaning required between bookings, and the lack of a cleaner. Enquiries were low anyway, so we were able to defer the ones who did enquire until 2023. The one primary long-term hirer was still in place and was stable in their business, so funding was not an issue. We are still looking for regular bookings during evenings or weekends but nothing in the pipeline. Our social media is going to have a makeover in 2024 to see if that will bring further enquiries. 

Bitterne Manor Community Centre (BMCC) 

Works have completed in the hall and infrastructure with the repairs of walls and washing facilities. 

The web site has been highlighted as an area for future development. We were able to open for local elections. 

## Section D                      Achievements and performance 

**Summary of the main** The main achievement during 2022-2023 is to ensure the hall and offices **achievements of the charity** are in a fit state of operation to allow the key organisation to operate and **during the year** support the local community. In 2023-2024 we are looking at installing a proper hot water system to feed all kitchens and toilets on both floors, which has funding, but lockdown and covid restrictions had not allowed work to progress.
