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.
