The Greenway Centre Financial Review Fortunately the ntre manager has been working alongside the community teams for many years and during many meetings since the end of covid community associations have been told to be more financially resilient as the council could not promise that the support that was given could be extended. After a year of working on a Community Fund application we heard in June 2023 that our application for £361k over five years was successful with the project commencing 1st August 2023. This funding currently supports 80 85 % of our core costs and without the funding the centre would have closed December 2023. The ntre didn't know at the time that the city council would be issuing a section 114, so the funding has come at the right time. In November 2023 the city council issued a section 114. This has impacted many services and charities in Nottingham. With the centre now having to take over many of the costs which were On paid for by NCC, these include all repairs, except building and in 2024 the centre will take on responsibilty for water and refuse collections and full support is expected to be withdrawn by 2026. The centre has seen a significant increase in the price of gas this financial year. We were out of contract in August 2023. We asked the city council to negogiate a new contract with our current electricity supplier but this was not picked up. This resulted in the centre having to pay 3 times our original unit price which saw our monthly pri$ soar. The centre manager was able to negotiate a new and better contract with Total Energies but unfortunately this was not able to happen until Aprillmay 2024. The charity's policy on reserves Our current reserves level is £3.5k. The ntre expects to build on these reserves over the next 4 years. Things are going to be difficult as we expect extra costs due to the city council withdrawing support on a number of bills which they have previously paid. The tsntre manager is sourcing funding applications to help ease the financial burden. Signed on behalf of the charity's trustees.. Signed Andrew Moon Cavanagh, Trustee Date 30110124
