Stanhope Community Association Annual Report 2023

January brought the usual bad weather with snow, ice and gales. The leaking roof was a problem and difficult to find someone who would attempt to fix it. Did eventually find someone who said they would try – they tried all year but never got it watertight.

The Court Case against the builder is still ongoing – he was in the Magistrates Court in September – now waiting for High Court at earliest June 2024.

Had a BEEP test done on the building which threw up traces of asbestos in the old boiler house out at the rear of the building. This was dealt with at great expense but now we are free to make use of the boiler house – which is possible for storage. Had the floor repaired and a new door fitted.

We also had to have the water examined and tested.

We were offered funding for solar panels which we had installed at the end of the year – hopefully this will reduce our energy costs over the years.

We also had a NEST system installed for regulating the heating – this should help to reduce heating costs and make it easier for control of the building and opening the building as we had to come earlier to turn the heating on. We also installed a key pad so the groups can let themselves into the building and lock up when they are finished.

A few new groups started this year. A Boxing for teenagers was started by a church group and Weight Watchers also started a group. Weight Watchers closed down a lot of their groups during the year, including ours, but the people who had been coming started their own Support Group and this ran through the rest of the year.

A Family History Course was run for six weeks and all our regular groups kept going thought the year (Creative Writing, Pottery, Glass, Ukulele, Table Tennis, Sewing-Patchwork, Pilates and Exercise Classes). We did purchase a new kiln for the Pottery for which funding was refused so we raised the money ourselves.

We now need Capital Funding for replacement windows and refurbishing of existing external doors – this seems to be difficult to come by. Much time is taken up for the applications and as we are all volunteers who run the Centre - it is not easy.

We thank all who supported the Centre throughout the year.
