## **Yoga Lessons** 

With all COVID 19 restrictions lifted and the Community Centre becoming fully operational,  yoga lessons were reintroduced once again in the Centre 




## **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. 

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 

3. Getting residents to be more active 

4. Cultural shows 

5. Wellbeing project for over 50s in collaboration with New Life Kingdom International Ministries charity 

6. IT training for the unemployed, 

7. Mental Health and Wellbeing for Staverton Road and Hexham Communities
