the year, apart from the when

whole. (see below).
The facilities are checked each week by a
rota ofvolunteers.
This is a requirement
of
our Building
and Public Liability insurance
to
ensure that issues which may give rise to a
claim are identified
and dealt with in a timely
manner.
Minor maintenance
has been
carried out by Trust volunteers.
This has
included,
fixing sticking doors, faulty
cistems, failed lights and maintaining
shrubbery
beds adjacent tothe facility.
Such work not only ensures
that the facilities
are maintained
to an acceptable standard,
but also reduces costs for the Trust.
The usage counters show that over 20,000
people have used them during the year.
This varies from around 30per day during
the first 'lockdown'
to over 70 per day in the
Summer.
Our voluntary
donation boxes are
receiving
around F15per week (f750 per
year).
Both these show that the facilities
are
really appreciated
by the local community.
The Trust set itself a target to raise a
minimum
ofF11,500 by the end of
September 2020to ensure
it had sufficient
funds to cover the running
costs for the
followin
ear before committin
to afurther
12month
Cleaning
contract.
This was
achieved.
Additionally,
in 2019the Trust received
grants from Pangbourne
and Whitchurch
Sustainability
Group (PAWS) and the
Drinking
Fountain Association
(DFA) for the
provision ofa public drinking
fountain.
This
was installed
in March 2020.
Itwas the Trust's intention to build up a
surplus
offunds each year (over and above
the f11,500 running
costs) to fund a
refurbishment/modernisation
ofthe facilities
which,
whilst being perfectly serviceable,
are
over 30years old.
In December 2020 the first phase ofthe
Modemisation
was completed.
This was the
upgrading
and enlarging
ofthe Disabled
toilet (at the expense ofone ofthe four
cubicles
in the Ladies toilet) to ensure
it met
current standards.
The project was awarded
to a local contractor following a competitive
tendering
exercise.
The cost was F15,830.
The project was completed
in 5weeks, and
the toilet was reopened
on 19~ December
2020 by a local wheelchair
user in a small
Covid Compliant
ceremony.
Funding
for this
project was provided
by the Co-op local
community
Support scheme (f5,300) and
the balance via various fund raising activities
and individual
donations
paid through
the
Good Exchange and matched funded
by the
Greenham
Trust.
