accounts. Since May 2019 the CIO has been able to offer the
new community centre for rent. Two community
groups have taken regular weekly core booking
and a number of private celebration functions
have been held. The centre has operated
essentially as a “village hall” with its various
facilities for rent.
Throughout the reporting period a local gardener
has rented a storage container on Bradley Park to
support his business and a local individual leased
the ‘depot’ (former storage space) and is now
delivering personal fitness sessions and training
to local people (Covid lockdowns permitting).
Since the end of March 2020, the building and
most recreational facilities have been closed
during this reporting period having a devastating
impact on income. However, securing Business
Rate grants has ensured we remain viable.

The opening of Bradley Park community centre
greatly assists in the provision of facilities for
recreation and other leisure time occupation in
the interests of social welfare as the CIO provides
indoor year-round facilities as well as the outdoor
provision. The relatively new community centre
brings a large community hall and kitchen, an
indoor meeting room plus changing facilities and
toilets.
Since opening the community organisations
regularly use the building and site. The building is
also the home for Bradley TRA and has capacity to
host many more similar community groups in the
future.
Rental of facilities to local residents for social and
leisure together with providing facilities for new
and existing community groups is vital for the
financial viability of the CIO. The rental of a
