Raynham Way Community Centre

Annual Report 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021

This year was severely affected by the Covid 19 pandemic and due to two national lock downs firstly in March 2020 and again in December 2020 most groups either were unable to meet or decided not to do so for health considerations. One off events were equally affected with many cancellations and a reluctance to associate socially in larger groups. The trustees were required to detail a specific risk assessment with requirements as to how people moved and operated whilst in the building and extra costs were incurred re signage, face masks, hand sanitizer and wipe down materials as well as more detailed cleaning. We received three substantial awards of state compensation which covered both loss of income and the extra costs incurred. We were also able to claim when we furloughed our only employee during the lock down periods.

In the first lock down period from end of March to end of June all groups including the Pre School were absent. After the August break a number of groups came back gradually but for most it was in a three-month window before another lockdown which prevented everyone apart from the Pre-School from operating from December through to the early Spring of 2021. Some groups took to Zoom to meet, some folded and have not returned and one moved on to another venue. The biggest loss was the Ballet and Tap that had been going since the building was opened in the late 1980’s. New groups such as Weightwatchers and Judo from other venues in east Luton have established themselves notwithstanding the difficulties of Covid 19.

Overall, our finances have stood up fairly well to the closures inflicted on us and a number of groups are showing some resilience in the face of ongoing issues in respect of meetings and gatherings. There are still a sizeable number of enquiries about both regular and one-off bookings.

We now have seven Trustees with Peter Appleyard joining in late 2019 and Bob and Fran Nickson added in the summer of 2021. All three have a strong involvement in the local community and have for many years been employed in the public services.
