Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 The Community centre has maintained its
use and availability to numerous groups in
the Borough. In particular it has been used
as a youth club, a training centre for young
people, gymnastics groups, music training,
art and crafts, and many other groups. It
has been used as a base for a local
environmental group and also for
community reparation by young offenders.
It has been used as a community hub
particularly in the presentation of an annual
flower and vegetable show, and its Spring,
Summer and Christmas fayres. In this way
the Centre has continued to develop as a
much needed focal centre for the
community in what is a deprived part of the
Borough.

Achievements against
objectives set		 Para 1.41 In the period following Covid there was
concern that there would be problems in re-
establishing the use of the centre by local
groups. Since then however the centre has
seen a steady return to where it had
progressed prior to the restrictions upon its
use during 2020-2021.
Performance of fundraising
activities against objectives
set		 Para 1.41 The Charity relies primarily on charges for
letting to those groups who have the means
to pay, and this has been sufficient to meet
the charity’s outgoings. In addition there
have been donations from local councillors
and, most importantly, during this time the
Local Authority has met the financial
outgoings in respect of energy and most of
the maintenance of the communitycentre
Investment performance
against objectives		 Para 1.41 The trust has been able to build up
reserves towards improving the equipment
and facilities it provides to users and,
hopefully towards eventually taking over
exclusive management of the building
