Summary
ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year
The charity was established
with the primary
purpose ofoperating
a Community
Managed
Library. Our offer was always intended
to be wider than a traditional
library service, aimed at helping
children
and young people achieve and
succeed, supporting
economic opportunities,
facilitating
better mental
and
physical
health and encouraging
independent
and active lives for older
residents.
The pandemic
began almost immediately
after the charity was established
and
no progress was made
in respect ofthe new lease for the existing
library
premises
and no other alternative
premises were available.
As at31"March 2023, negotiations
were still ongoing
between
the freeholder
of
the commercial
premises
and London Borough of Ealing for the lease (and
ultimately
the consent to sub lease to the charity).
Nevertheless,
the charity
still invited, encouraged
and received expressions
of
interest from volunteers
willing to give their time to the running
ofthe Community
Managed
Library.
The trustees also worked out a "hybrid" arrangement
with the Council whereby
the library opened
on a three day a week basis with volunteers
being trained
by
agency support and carrying
out all library duties.
