3.0 Business Context and Environment

There are external factors that could influence in developing a business for the Charity in the future. These are Political, Economic, Sociological, Technological, Legal and Environmental (PESTLE) and the analysis of these are as follows:

3.1 Political

Hyde Unity Centre has close links with some political parties. Given the lack of similar facility in the area for the targeted communities, it has received political support. The organisation regularly invites local Councillors to their activities to keep them abreast of the activities.

3.2 Economic

Almost all the three wards in Hyde are socially and economically deprived areas area except Gee Cross which is on the top of Hyde Werneth Ward. The ward borders with Woodley ward in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport.

The following are economic factors that could challenge the development of the organisation:

Given a recent increase in interest rate it could further prevail people from participating in certain leisure activity and the organisation needs to be mindful of this fact.

3.3 Sociological

There has been an increase in anti-social behaviour in the area. The organisation could keep the centre open during day time with funding to keep young people engaged and out of the streets. Football and cricket are popular games within the local young people and the organisation could expend its activities beyond indoor leisure/sports activities. Three are also a lack of light

CHARITY NO. 1167273

physical activities for the elderly as well for women in the area. Since the centre is now more stabilised, it could look into increase its reach.

3.4 Technological

The organisation has developed a website www.hydeunitycentre.org It means that the organisation has increased its social media presence. It can therefore reach larger audiences encouraging increased participation in its activities. It could also receive feedback from its users on the net to improve and expand its services.

3.5 Legal

The organisation operates within the regulations as required by the Charity Commission. It has got public liability insurance to cover any unforeseen circumstances. However, if the organisation is mindful of extending its services for the elderly and/or young people the staff/volunteers running activities will require Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check as well as training on working with Vulnerable people.

3.6 Environmental

Hyde Unity Centre is conscientious and ensures that all the lighting equipment are LED which saves power and are user friendly. It also adheres to the regulation by ensuring that all the rubbish is put in an appropriate bin. Old sports equipment and accessories are disposed of or recycled based on the guidance provided by the Council.

4.0 Market analysis

4.1 Market size

Estimated population of Hyde in Tameside was 34,872 on 30[th] June 2016 - - (https://www.citypopulation.de/php/uk england northwestengland.php? cityid=E35000037)

There has been migration mainly from Spain and Italy in the past three years. Most of these have Bengali origin with fluency in Spanish/Italian and Bengali languages. However, it has increased potential users of the sports activities

provided by Hyde Unity Centre. Given that the centre provides indoor activities, such as carom, is a unique opportunity for the borough as there is no similar activity in Tameside. With right marketing and promotion with training element for new comers will enhance the market size significantly for the organisation.

4.2 Competition

Darts and pool table facilities are available in some local pubs however people from certain faith will be reluctant to go to such venue due to social and cultural barriers. Carrom facilities are only available at Hyde Unity Centre, making it a unique venue for those interested in playing this game. Also, the Centre is open until late hours at night since most of the users are from catering industry, it is much more convenient to locals. It is also placed on Market street, a main street in the town means that the venue is easily accessible. The Centre is mindful to develop new activities both indoor and outdoor based on the feedback received from the users as well as local community. There is a lack of for certain sports, such as cricket, both indoor and outdoor depending upon the season. There is also an opportunity to develop training leading to become a qualified umpire or a coach, which has potential to attract younger generation. There is no such provision at the moment so it is unlikely that the centre will have any competition.

6.2. Increase earned income

Increase the number and diversify tournaments which will bring in new and increased income. Each participant in the tournament will have to pay an entry fees. Tournaments can be at different levels – local, sub-regional and regional.

Keep the centre open for longer hours by creating a post or increase number of volunteers to address new activities and address Objective 4 above.
