## **The Community Hub for Layton** 5 Grenfell Avenue, Blackpool FY3 7BP – Telephone 01253 391811 Email: 5laytoncommunityhouse@gmail.com Registered Charity Number: 1170042 ## **Layton Community House - Annual Report for 2020** We entered 2020 in a spirit of optimism. We were most grateful to all of our funders for enabling us to continue our services and physically decorate and refurbish the House. We were particularly looking forward to the Afternoons to Remember project which was focussed on those of our clients with dementia. Indeed a sessional worker was appointed and we made an encouraging start. Then came the first lockdown with all social contact outside the home discouraged and the House was closed in an organised way on the 20[th] of March 2020. We have been most grateful for our two staff, Peter Mercer and Karen Pennington, for sticking with us during the different interruptions. Both were furloughed but made immense contributions, nevertheless. From March 2020 Peter and Karen held weekly Zoom Quizzes which were advertised locally. Although they were mainly attended by regular visitors to the House the quizzes served as a useful tool for keeping in touch, everyone enjoying the social contact. In the summer of 2020 restrictions became less onerous and we became cautiously optimistic. The House reopened three mornings a week from August 25. We were always conscious that our time open was likely to be limited; indeed some community centres didn’t reopen at all. We quickly had a steady return of customers although with the House being so small our risk assessment stipulated very low numbers. We immediately found clients were keen to reengage although the situation was rather artificial in that we all thought the gloom had only temporarily lessened. There was little point in actively advertising the House when we could accommodate so few visitors and we knew the situation was obviously going to change. On Friday 25 September 2020 it was announced that Blackpool was entering Tier 3 of the new system and all indoor socialising outside the support bubble was prohibited. We immediately closed and didn’t reopen in 2020. Through our two loyal staff we kept in contact with our customers and funders through the period when we were closed. This helped us to retain our client base and successfully reopen part-time and then full time in 2021. But that is a story for another report. Many thanks to Christina McKenzie-Townsend and Ian Treasure for coming on board as new Trustees. As ever we face challenges but we do so in a spirit of optimistic adventure. Thanks once again to all our funders, customers and anyone who might think of us favourably.
