## **DERSINGHAM VILLAGE CENTRE ASSOCIATION** Dersingham Village Centre, 83 Manor Road, Dersingham, Norfolk, PE31 6LN enquiries@dersinghamvillagecentre.org.uk **WWW.DERSINGHAMVILLAGECENTRE.ORG.UK** ## **CHAIRMAN’S REPORT FOR 2022 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING** It has been another difficult year for the trustees, dealing with COVID and increasing bills, maintaining the building, and making improvements where we could. David Collingham stood down as a trustee during the year, having been part of the Association since 2014 and Chairman until 2020. His solid management has been greatly valued by all trustees and we are in his debt. I am grateful to the trustees for their input at meetings especially where we have had to make difficult decisions. We currently have three vacancies on the Management Committee. All user groups returned following the easing of COVID restrictions, and some new ones started up but, sadly, some have since closed or moved. Attendance at our own activities (Coffee Shop, Friendship Lunch, Village Cinema, Village Voice) varies, which we think is in part due to COVID affecting how people feel about socialising. While these activities are in the main a service for the community, any profits generated contribute to the Centre’s running costs and help fund new initiatives. The Association was fortunate to benefit from government COVID grants, but to ensure we can continue to cover our running costs, we have had to increase hire charges, (except The Loft), fees for our regular activities, and Coffee Shop prices. Our Finance Officer has managed the accounts very well indeed, and trustees have just set budgets for the year 2022/23. We have a wonderful group of volunteers without whose help we could not provide our regular social activities and run larger events. The Garden Group, also volunteers, ensure the outside area is attractive and tidy. We are looking forward to the celebrations for The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, especially the Jubilee Jamboree.
