on public The result ofthese activities is to benefit to the residents ofthe Parish
Kingsclere and the local area. The classes, activities and events cater

all ofthe community
and there is something
that serves from the young
through to the old.

Summary of the main
achievements ofthe charity
during the year There will be a common theme for most reports by community
associations
running
community
centres forthe year April 2020to March
2021 in that it was fundamentally
ayear ofensuring
survival due tothe
impact ofCOVID-19 whilst delivering
what benefit was possible during
that period.
Following closure during
March 2020the community
centre remained
closed until July 2020 for all activity and this was the case for the
subsequent
lockdowns
during the reporting
period. During the previous
year, 2019-20,the total footfall to The Fieldgate Centre was 43,360.This
plummeted
during 2020-21 to 8,375.The quarterly
breakdown
ofvisits
shows the impact of lockdowns
more starkly
April 2020to June 2020 - 216
July 2020to Sept 2020 - 4627
Oct 2020to Dec 2020 - 3277
Jan 2021 to March 2021 - 255
When open we were able to run Pilates classes and Slimming
World. A
range of local Kingsclere sports teams use the centre as a base for
training
and home matches. Cricket, football and rugby training
did run
so the centre was able to support these activities. The Rule ofSixmeant
that a large number ofthe social gatherings
and events that would
run
in
normal times were just not possible.
For Christmas 2020a Christmas
show was staged with the support of
the Kingsclere Singers and Kingsclere Players. We were able to have a
limited audience
but we broadcast the show live using Zoom and we
subsequently
made the recording
available to view. This event was
viewed as a great success in the community
as it drew many together,
albeit afair proportion
only on-line.
It did demonstrate
the strength
of
the community,
supported
over the years by the activities ofthe
association,
and was another factor in adding tothe resilience and
maintenance
of support
networks that served the community
well in
managing
during the pandemic.
The association
started
running
Treasure/Quiz
Trails around
Kingsclere as a way of providing
activities
for all. These activities attracted
all sectors ofthe community
from young
to old and included
many families.
We were pleased to be awarded a Local Infrastructure
Fund (LIF)grant
in January 2018 by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council (B8DBC)
and a Community
Buildings Grant
in April 2018from Hampshire
County
Council (HCC) which allowed us to start the renewal of infrastructure
as
identified
in a building
survey we had undertaken
for the centre. The
community
centre is 31years old and had been neglected
until
refurbishment
work started
in late 2016.Following the replacement
of
the doors and windows
and windows
in 2018, with the benefit ofa
further B8DBC LIFgrant a detailed

ofthe detailed specification
for
the upgrade the heating system. Following atender exercise a
contractor was selected to upgrade the heating system and this upgrade
work was corn
