## **Public Benefit for the Year Jan 2024 to Dec 2024**
Thought-out the past year, the King Arthurs Way Community Association has worked with Andover Food Bank. Being open weekdays for up to three hours a day as a collection point for food boxes. Up to the 18[th] December 2024, 257 food boxes collected from the hall. The hall has been again used during the year as Walk-in Health Hub offering a Flu vaccine clinic. During term time the hall runs the Andover Job Club. This enables free access to computers, information and advice on job searches, CV writing, interview skills and more.
The hall has been hired for a variety of activities including coffee mornings, children’s parties, community events, workshops and local groups. The footfall count at the hall for the year Jan – Dec 2024 was 11207.
Hiring of the hall was taken up by many people from the Harroway Ward and surrounding area as well as the regular hirers that make up our core income. Our current regular hirers include the

## **ANNUAL REPORT 2024**
Oblivion Dance, MissFit Bellydance, Catch22 (Every Other Friday), Tiny Tykes, Karate Class and Unity Chit & Chat Sessions. A new group Yoga for Well-Being started during November 2024. Also, in November and in partnership with the Sovereign Network Group, the (Wednesday warm Hub) Stop, Shop and Eat opened. This meets on a Wednesday between 9:00am an 12:00am term time only. The Qigong group that started in March 2024 ended in December 2024 as the group left Andover. Subject to availability the hall can be hired for classes or party bookings on a Saturday or Sunday.
## **Note from Chair of Trustees**
On behalf of the trustees, I would like to thank TVBC Community Engagement Officer Andrea Harris for her help and support. The trustees and staff continue to develop and foster positive working relationships with Hampshire County Council, Test Valley Borough Council, Andover Town Council, NHS West Hampshire Clinical Commissioning Group, Unity, St Mary’s Church Andover, the Sovereign Network Group and voluntary agencies, local councillors and businesses. All have supported the community association by giving grants or volunteer time. To enable us to help and support members of our community that have been affected by both the energy and cost of living crisis. Grateful thanks are given to all our partners for their continued support and we hope to continue to benefit from our association with them.
I would like to thank all my fellow charity trustees, Carole, Margaret, Richard, Tanya, Donna and Rebecca for the support that they have given the King Arthurs Way Community Association over the past year. The community association is as always indebted to its hardworking staff, Verity and Ros.
## **Update on Building Lease**
It was hoped that the lease for the hall would have now been completed. However, all I can say is what I say every year. The King Arthurs Way Community Association operates from and manages the King Arthurs Hall, a building which is owned by Test Valley Borough Council. The King Arthurs Way Community Association is a self-governing charity, independent of Test Valley Borough Council. As reported at previous AGMs, we are all still working towards agreeing a 25-year lease for the building. Looking at best practice elsewhere to ensure that the lease protocol we have is fair and robust. It is still very much hoped that the lease agreement will be completed in the very, very near future.
May I again, thank everyone who has been involved or worked with us over the past year for their support.
