Raynham Way Community Centre
Annual Report 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024
The Community Centre continues to operate as a place for groups, families and individuals to meet, joining with others for exercise, activities, events, parties, preschool and worship. The centre attracts people from the locality, as well as others across the town and from local villages. Those that use and take advantage of the facilities range in age from three-year-olds to those in their nineties. In the year to 31 March 2024 we saw a drop in numbers attending some groups such as indoor bowls, table tennis and youth club but an increase in those coming to Moslem Worship, Community Café and exercise groups such as Flexercise and Positive Movement. The centre is gradually being refurbished, and the smaller hall was redecorated along with the lighting and CCTV being upgraded and improved both indoors and outdoors.
We have received grants that have assisted the refurbishments but also a community Fare which was held in early August and was very well attended by local residents. Plans to repeat this event in the following year were already in progress early in 2024. The monies detailed as restricted income was in part received in the previous year but actually spent in this year. The overall income was down in comparison to 2022/23 but the regular groups use of the centre is still good and oneoff parties mainly at weekends brought a further increase in income. The Community Café on Wednesday’s is well supported and we have had visits to it from various organisations such as Citizen’s Advice, Neighbourhood Watch, the police, the health service and local councillors.
A few personnel have changed with a new caretaker and some trustees have departed and we thank those no longer on board for their valuable contributions, however the result is that by year end we were down to five Trustees. It has become a regular issue that we are searching for new trustees and would gladly welcome anyone who has an interest to be involved in the management and oversight of this community facility. The amount of time can be dependent on any volunteers’ other commitments and responsibilities.
The local council redesigned and totally renewed the play area at the rear of the building which attracts a good number of young children with parents – this is not part of the centre but does attract indoor use whether through joining groups or making party bookings. In addition, the centre received a grant for “sprucing up” the surrounds on the front and east side of the building and we have involved children from local groups and schools in assisting with the development of the horticulture in the new wooden planters.
