Hexham Community Association Annual General Meeting SUMMER 2020

Welcome to our AGM Meeting 2020/2021

You are all welcome to Hexham Community Association AGM for 2020. Hexham Community Association brings together residents from the Hexham Estate and North Whitley area, charities and the local authority to work together to help to improve education opportunities, and carry out activities for the welfare, recreation and leisure for the people who live in the local area. The local area is recognized as an area of deprivation and need. The association is run entirely by volunteers and undertakes activities from the Hexham Community Centre.

The Committee

Your committee for the previous year was:

• Angela Bovell – Ag. Chair

• Elizabeth Marian Kargbo – Trustee

• Simon J Maziku - Secretary

Achievements and challenges

During the past year the activities of Hexham Community Association were seriously affected by COVID 19. However, the association was able to accomplish the following:

• Funding was provided by Berkshire Community Foundation, The Lottery and CAF to provide support for the over 50s struggling families in Hexham and Staverton Road who were seriously affected by COVID lock down.

Challenges

• The Association is still functioning under a reduced budget of £10,000 from the Council

• The Association Still struggled to recruit volunteers. This has had an impact on the extent to which the programmes can be extended to many more residents.

• Bookings for use of facilities at the Community Centre has decreased considerably compared to the previous year. This has been due to complaints from the neighbours’ about

noise. This has been resolved through the intervention of the council. We now have a better customer services approach, better facilities and a very clean environment.

The trustees want to also take this opportunity to thank all the volunteers for the wonderful job they have done over the year.

FUTURE PLANS

1. Extend programme to Staverton Road

2. Advertising activities of Hexham to the wider community
