Our regular weekly incomings are now at £375
We have unfortunately not kept a lot of our groups since we closed, but a couple have returned and a new Karate group have come in taking up 3 evenings a week.
Unfortunately we haven’t been able to have any party bookings in since March 2020, and they aren’t looking to return until 2022 so things are pretty tough at the moment. We were lucky enough to receive a fairly big grant from the council and also a small one from Arnold Clarke which have been a massive help paying the bills whilst we had no income coming in.
We still have a fair bit left so we are gathering quotes together for painting the whole centre, new blinds in the kitchen and new flooring.
