inRe Intr uction 1.1 In common with many organlsations up and down the country, the 2021/22 year for Benhilton Granfers Association was domlnated by the need to adjust to the easing of covid restrictions and then make all efforts to return to a normal operation. Granfers is primarily In the business of letting indoor accommodation to local community groups and so working to encourage and manage the tUrn of these oryanisations was central to our activlty. 1.2 The Trustees contlnued to respond to the changing situatlon by ensurlng that we acted at all tlmes In compliance with the Government's guldance and restrittions and also took all possible steps to safeguard the Important communlty resource whlch vie are responslble for, In order to to resume normal operations as thls became possible. 1.3 Having held virtual meetlngs throughout the perlods of lockdown, the Trustees resumed physical meetings in August. 2 Activl Achlevemen 2.1 Our main business of letting out space for communlty groups was able to resume shortly after the commencement of th15 reporting perlod as the government's covid road map allowed for the opening up of community centres from 12th April 2021. There was initially a fairly slow return to normal occupation by the charlty's tradltlonal users. 2.2 Benhilton Granfers Assoclation employs one full-time member of staff, our cent Manager. As a reflettion of the fatt that there was only a gradual post- pandemic return to normal business, the Centre Manager continued on a part- time furlough arrangement untll returnlng to nomal full-time worklng on 1° August. 2.3 The charlty made an appllcatlon to the local councll for a Business Restart Grant and was successful in achieving a grant of £12,000 whSch was received in July. This was a vital supplement to the charity's sOurceS In the context of the loss of major elements of our normal funding stream. 2.4 One significant development was the increase in lettlngs for varlous NHS functions negotiated by the Centre Manager, including prov5slon for Long Covid support sessions in the Main Hall. 2.5 By the end of the reporting period, almost all lettings had returned to their pre-pandemic activity levels as well as new opportunties having been tsken to provide accommodation for a range of NHS services, some of which were, as reported above, a dirert consequence of the covid pandemic.
2.6 Although the Granfers community resource was maintained In reasonably good shape and readiness to resume operations soon as the circumstances of the pandemic permitted, the restrictions imposed by the pandemic and the consequentlal straitened financial circumstances meant that a number of challenging building maintenance issues started to become apparent by the end of the reporting period. rmance and sl 3. 1 In 2021 the charity, began to open up following the lessening effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and by September the Centre Manager had retumed to full time working and the furlough payments had ceased. The charity ceiVed a grant of £12,000 from the business restart fund. 3.2 September onwards saw a steady increase In organlsations returning to the centre but it took until the spring 2022 before hall hlre approached normal occupancy. The budget for 2021/22 showed a projected shortfall of £12k with a current account balance of £35k. In the event we ended the period wlth a surplus of £2,522 and a current account balance of £37,391. Thls improvement was malnly due to the award of the restart grant of £12k. 3.3 Total recelpts were £76,584 of whlch £20,150 was from the Government Furlough Scheme and restart grants. Office and property rentals continued to be paid throughout the year. Current expendlture totalled £74,062 of which £31, 171 was dirett costs with salarles and general expenses of £42,891. There were no capltsl or exceptional costs during the year. 3.4 Durlng the period of the pandemic the general maintenance of the premises was curtalled and the Trustees are aware of the necessity of carrylng out these works, subject to fundlng. [Durlng 2023, the office rents and hall hirlng fees have been increased to allow for these works and also to meet the increased energy costs]. 3.5 The Trustees have reviewed the charlty's needs for reserves in Ilne with the Operational Guidance No. 43 (Charity Income Reserrfes) issued by the Charity Commlssion. nce with Trustee uti The Trustees contlnued to maintain oversight of the charity operation and its main resource, the Granfers Community Cent. At all times our priority was to ensure the health and safety of staff and service users and to secure the assets of the charity so as ensure that Granfers was in a good positlon to resume its normal artivifies when thls became possible. The Trustees are therefo able to confirm that they continued to cary out their duties with due regard to the Charity Commission's guidan on public benefit.
