THE HENHAYES CENTRE
CHAIRMAN OF THE TRUSTEES REPORT for the year April 2020 to March 2021
This has been a very strange year for everyone. We started the year in Lockdown and ended in Lockdown, although during the year we did open briefly in September and October before being forced to close again.
The staff were all furloughed with the Charity making up the 20% difference.
In December the local GP practice enquired about hiring the building as a Vaccination Clinic – it would be the only one in Crewkerne. It was felt that although the Centre could not open to members this would be something we could do for the local community. They asked for exclusive use of the whole Centre, excluding the office, for a period of 1 year with the option to give 3 months notice if they closed early. We agreed a hire charge which covered our regular outgoings like insurance and utilities.
We were only able to access the office at the weekend to ensure that mail was opened and bills and wages paid.
I would like to thank my fellow Trustees for stepping in to sort out the problems that arose during the year
Nick Keylock, our Clerk to the Trustees, resigned at the end of this financial year and I would like to thank him for his dedication to the Charity during his many years service.
So to the future, we have the opportunity to rethink how the Centre can help the ageing population in Crewkerne while fulfilling our charitable role.

Clerk to the Trustees Financial Report 2020/1
The whole of the 2020/21 financial year was dominated by the effects of the global pandemic which meant the Centre was unable to open in any meaningful way throughout the year.
However the Centre was fortunate in obtaining Covid support grants through South Somerset District Council of £21053.00 and also Government furlough payments through the Job retention scheme of £33341.94 which covered a large proportion of staff wages both fully furloughed and part furloughed.
Although the Centre was largely closed there were some bookings taken during the Summer of 2020 when some businesses were allowed to reopen although the normal day to day operation was not possible due to government restrictions.
Bookings were on a par with the previous year mainly due to the fact that the Centre was hired out exclusively for the NHS Covid-19 vaccination programme during the latter part of the financial year.
Overall as a result of this and the government support the income was up at £91128.94 from £74085.18.In addition to the bookings a grant of £1250 from Crewkerne Town Council was also received.
On the expenditure side due to reduced overheads expenditure was down £18000 at £72691.27.
The overall result was a surprising surplus of £18437.67 and whilst everyone could have done without the trauma of the past 18 months the Centre is ironically in a stronger position financially to come with any challenges that will lie ahead once life returns to normal.
On the balance sheet side the reserves are healthy with £45k in liquid funds.There was a grant of £2500 from Somerset Foundation which was held in reserve to cover our memory group activities once the Centre fully re-opens .There was £500 carried forward from 2019/20 which now makes the total £3000.
