The Old Bank Annual General Meeting
Chair’s Report, 29[th] May 2022
The Old Bank, Camelford is a charity with community at its heart, we run and maintain a building in the main street of Camelford for the benefit of residents from Camelford and the surrounding area. We continuously liase with other community groups and offer a range of events and activities, many of which have been suggested by residents.
Holding a prime location within Camelford we benefit from the town car park 150 metres and two disabled bays directly outside our main entrance; we also have accessible washroom facilities and level access throughout the main ground floor areas.
The nature and size of the building means that we can hire out three rooms of varying size, for regular and one-off events as well as offering a range of activities and events that we ourselves organise. We keep ticket and hiring fees as low as possible to remove the monetary barrier that would cause a hinderance to a lot of our local residents. Current users include a diverse range of people.
Trustee meetings are held on a monthly basis to review progress and consider future plans, in accordance to the Charity Commission’s guidance our trustees are a mix of age and gender.
2021/2022 has brought with it a lot of changes for our charity, the main one being the shift of focus from us not only being a community building but also a community larder, the larder aspect of the charity has grown immensely and is now a huge asset to the town with many households relying on us for food and essentials from week to week. We are currently reaching almost 100 households a week through this service and, sadly, demand is increasing every week.
We have welcomed on board a new trustee, who has brought with her amazing energy and drive, recently running a ‘Quiz & Chips’ night for us which was extremely well received and managed to raise over £300 to help us with our ever increasing costs. We have also been able to run half term drop ins for parents and children, offering an affordable means of socialising for the younger families if Camelford, more of these are planned for the upcoming summer holidays.
Another big change that is still in process is the appointing of a member of staff, we have been very fortunate in being awarded funding through The National Lottery to enable us to do this, we are hoping that this will free up our trustee’s time, ensuring that we are able to concentrate on propelling the charity forward.
