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 succeeded in maintaining its use and availability to numerous groups in the Borough. In particular it continues to be 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 its 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. The numbers using the community centre continue to grow.

Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:

Achievements against objectives set	Para 1.41	The steady return to pre Covid levels of use of the Community Centre have continued and footfall in the community centre is now higher than it has ever been. The charity has established a firm financial base upon which to negotiate a transfer of responsibility of the building from the Local Authority
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. This has enabled an annual surplus and in addition there have been donations from local councillors

Doc ID: e48d8b373547bcf37b46e415636e340691f438bd

		Most importantly, during this time the Local Authority has continued to meet the financial outgoings in respect of energy and most of the maintenance of the community centre.
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 from the Local Authority exclusive management of the building
