The advice group was open to the community and others for welfare matters; Nottingham Energy Partnership was also available to the public; We contributed to the finance of the Sheriff Social Club during Covid-19.
Thanks for support from Marc Petrucci, Dawn Lynch, Vicky Richardson and all the workers during a very difficult year.
Financial review
We operated on a planned deficit during Covid-19. Financially, we are slowly recovering after Covid-19. We have had some groups that have not returned but also had some new groups that started.
The main risk for the future is of Sheriff Social Club not returning to pre-Covid-19 income levels and our other centre users not returning.
