Communty Caf6 service Ceased operation in February 2021. Staff were formally
advised and due Process followed to make the roles redundant. This was a very
disappointing end lo the venture. but followed very weak footfall in early 2021.
Opportunrties were tsken to redecorate and re4rrange the library shelving and
volunteer ststions, and re-requip the shared space furniture.

Garden project was launched and both b¢al schools. pupils were engaged.

Offlca Rentals Very limited occupancy was achieved but Space was rented to
various social and commercial organisations. induding Brick by 8nck Play (home
education), Gallery for Entrepreneurs, Food Trucks., and a number of slart-ups at
discounted rates providing Counselling, Massage, and Beauty & Wellness clinic.
Hub was pleased to welcome Seven Oistricts opening a branch of their SUC￿$$ful
coffee ¢hain in the building, at a ¢ommercial r8ntal.' this replaced tho unsuc¢e$$fvl
Community Café venture.

Additional dètalls of objectlves and activities (Optional inforniation)
SvJnificant work remains needed to the building configuration to support Ihe
ongoing operation. particularty disabled access for all areas, which must be
funded by the charity, supported from reserves. by fund-raising and some modest
local grants (see above),. and to expand the areas of space land shape) for rental
in the longer term, as interest in a range of activthes VJ Increasingly being
eXP￿Sed as the year closes.
The Charlty continues to negotiate with its Landlord in respect of a longer-lerm
lease. which would open up a number ofgrant sourc8s, and any statutory servths
that might be delivered localty. To achieve full self-supporting status requires
significant further capitsl investmènt, which remain under discussion with
Landlord.
Discussions continue with the local Parish and Distnct Councils over grant
assistsncè, some of which have been succssful". joinuy-fvnded partnership
activities have been actively pu￿ued, with hopes of a rnaior item in 2022.
Support from local and nab'onal sources for the Chanty during lockdown was
provided by fNe separate grants totslling £24,500: without this support. the
Charity's re$eNes would have been almost completely eroded - to support the
activities in 2021 required conversion of nearly 35% of the Charty's reserves.
The Charty remains dependent on signth¢2nt granl-fvnding to achieve bfe8k-
even, and continues lo seeek longer-tem fvnding sources. Re-structuring ofteam
resources has been discussed with a view to implementsts'on in 2022.

Achievements and performance
Summary ofthe moin
achievements of the charlty
during the y•ar
The COVID-19 pandemic, and associated legislation by HMG, affected
operations in 2021
well beyond those envisag8d initially, when the
building dosed and operations ceased on 20th March 2020.
Removal of all restrictions was finally announced as 19th July 2021. Over
the preceding months, Trustees had reviewed the operating model, and
identified a number of s￿nan05 which led the charity back to "nomial. (ie
pre-COVID) levels of activity.
In the event, fooffall was slow to ￿CoVer, though the effective operation of
the cafè, including new offerings and strengthening of off-sales by new
tenant Seven Districts helped. Office rentals which had previously been
contracted for many months by the same tenant, but which had been
terminated by mLrtual consent, were in almost every case nol re-instated
at the ￿qUest of the tenant- 8V8ryone was unsure how things would 'pick
up,.
These issues were offset to a degree by grants frorn central gov8mment
(distributed through District Council) for Business Restart.
Trustees..
Applied for and received funding by HMG (via WLDC) for COVID re-
start grants (£18,000).,
Furfoughed all paid staff until dale of cafè closure {31. May 2021).,
Applied for HMRC furlough ICJRSI grants (£7,222) .
Applied for and received LCC revenue grant {£5.967)',
Applied for and reoived £1,000 project grant from Groundworf<.
Marketing and strategic seNices continued to be provided during the
closure periods, as Trustees considered a number of scenarios in planning
busines5 operations in 2021, and in an attempt to set a budget for 2021.
Considerable time was spent exploring options with LCC related to
provision of further statutory S8rvices from the Hub location, and in defining
and implementing a sub-lease for Seven Districts, to assure their tenancy
for 3 y8ars.
Extensive searches were undertaken to identify additional sources of grant
funding. The more substantial grant-funding opportunities require pre-
requisites that are ¢hallenging for a ¢harity such as ours, and we wntinue
to work wtth LCC to unlock access to these funds.
Book-keeping $8rvic8s were secured from Capella Services in earfy 2021,
including operation of payroll.
