DMI COMMUNITY CENTRE
CHARITY NO 1176755
AGM – MONDAY 26th APRIL 2021
7.00PM VIRTUAL MEETING VIA ZOOM
CHAIRS REPORT
This has been a very difficult year. As a result of the COVID pandemic the Community Centre has been closed for most of the year and all groups, apart from Slimming World for a short period, have cancelled their bookings. Similarly Mini Creations has been forced to closed, again apart from a short period last year.
The only group which has used the centre is Denholme Assist, which was created in response to the pandemic, and has used the reading room as a food store.
During the year we have taken on responsibility for the payment of our utility bills which had previously been covered by CBMDC. This transition has proved very problematic and taken many months to resolve due to the change of ownership of the building. In addition we have new arrangements for our fire and intruder alarm monitoring and serving with Tesla and 1st County.
Following a review of our cleaning arrangements we have appointed D&K cleaners as our weekly cleaning team although because of the shutdown the contract has not yet been activated.
Other work on the building included the 5 year electrical installation inspection required by our building insurers and a new platform as part of the front entrance upgrade has been built to allow level access to the right hand entrance.
The main project of the year was the new entrance and reception area which is in progress and should be completed by the end of April 2021.
Our rental income this year has been devastated with a loss of, in the region of, £17,000. Fortunately, following 2 appeals, we received at total of £19,431 in COVID related business support grants from Bradford Council. We also continued to receive funding through the big lottery which helped to cover our costs.
We also changed our bank from the Natwest to the Coop bank and received an incentive payment of £1,500
Finally, as you know, this is my last AGM as chair as we will shortly be moving out of the area. I would like to thank all the trustees and volunteers, both now and in the past, who have help move the centre forward. I think I leave it in a healthy financial position and wish the trustees and the community of Denholme all the very best for the future.

Notes
This has been a very difficult year with income from rents decimated since the building has been closed for the vast majority of the year - down from £23,899 to just £6616. Fortunately we were able to receive the COVID business grant totalling £19,431. The grant from the big lottery to cover some of our basic running costs was also most welcome. We also had to cover the cost of our utilities for the first time. The major revamping of our entrance and reception area has also commenced but some of the costs will be reflected in next years accounts.
