All Saints Church Community Centre CIO no 1188741

Board of Trustees Annual report 1[st] January to 31[st] December 2022

The Mission of the Community Centre is “Creating a centre of excellence for the development of community services” and the Constitution objectives are to: “provide and maintain a community centre for the use of the residents of the Parish of Tuckingmill and local areas, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, nationality, race or political, religious or other opinions. This includes use of the community centre for meetings, training or other forms of recreation and leisure time occupation in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the conditions of life for those residents.”

This year we have recruited new Board of Trustee members, with specific skills sets and experience, with five trustees running groups and mentoring vulnerable people at the community centre. The community centre continues to grow and develop in response to identified need, with several new groups and services now running.

Surveys and some work has commenced, but so far the community centre building work and extension and refurbishment has not as yet started. We are hopeful that this will soon commence.

The plan for the year ahead is to secure further funding, have a new business plan and sustainability plan in place, and to continue to support the community.

A very big thank you to our funders, our trustees and volunteers and to the community for their support.

General update from the Centre Manager:

The community centre works hard to improve the physical, social, cultural, mental and economic of the community, to improve life opportunities and create a happier, safer and connected community. Volunteers and residents also work together to improve the environment. Earth cafes, climate change workshops, nature recovery meetings, conservation workshops, litter picking sessions took place to raise awareness and support the community in making their surroundings better.

Over 9000 people have accessed support, services and activities at the community centre this year. The community centre is a registered safe space and is a warmth hub until April 2023. We continue to run a community larder providing free food to

reduce food waste, and a free launderette for those in need. The warmth hub funding has enabled us to provide a community kitchen, where people can help themselves to breakfast and cook themselves a meal. Several older people told us, that they hadn’t cooked themselves a meal at home for months, some were sitting in their cars to keep warm as they were scared of the cost of turning their heating on. It has made a real difference for people to be able to come in and stay warm, and get themselves a warm meal.

This year sadly saw the closure of our shop, having suffered COVID closures and then eight months waiting for a new glass shop door, whilst the shop had to remain closed. The shop was no longer economically viable, but did provide support for people as a community hub.

There was significant difficulty recruiting admin worker, with people either not turning up for interviews, or having no experience. We had an agency admin worker for some time, before securing skilled staff. Due to additional support needs for the community, we had three community workers instead of the one funded post. One of the community workers helped run children’s activities throughout the school holidays, as well as running several groups and helping set up the café. The funding for salaries and the projects ended in October 2022, but volunteers took over running the groups so these were able to continue.

Report from the Chair

Since our last meeting in June 2022 the centre has continued to recover from the pandemic closures and disruption. It continues to host a mix of regular and one-off groups, serving the most vulnerable in society.

Bev Price has continued to undertake her job as Centre Manager with her usual commitment, going above and beyond to run the centre, support centre users and initiate new groups. She also manages the people who keep the Centre running; the Centre employs a cleaner (Caroline) and caretaker (Alan), and sessional workers are paid to undertake some office admin and to run groups. Some sessional workers terms ended in October 2022 as the funding stream came to an end.

At the end of last year Deb Grigg stepped down as Trustee which meant we also lost our Secretary. We currently need to appoint a new one and find two new trustees. Robyn has struggled to attend meetings and will also be stepping down as of this meeting.

Long serving trustee, Dave has been less active due to ill health. We wish him well and understand if he can’t continue as a trustee.

After many long delays and a re-tendering process the building has begun on the toilet in the Church. It was re-tendered to allow for different contractors to take on the toilet and centre separately. Once the toilet is completed it will be followed by the alterations due to take place in the Centre will be re-tendered. We will be looking

for contractors who will be mindful of the centre clients as well and coming in on budget.

The church and church groups continue to use the centre facilities which has caused tension on occasion. The Chair, Churchwardens and Centre manager continue to work towards better communication and mutual understanding.

The Church toddler group, All Sorts@All Saints, run by Becky Lines continues to thrive. We had hoped to provide the Centre with a Community Christmas celebration for people and pets but attendance was low. We need to look at better advertising etc next year if we are to continue offering joint events.

Despite good progress on the building project and a good number of regular groups the charity is at a critical point. Volunteer numbers are low at the moment and staff illness has effected the smooth running of the office. For example, it has become harder to ensure no one is lone-working.

We are also reaching the end of the lottery funding stream. The Warmth Hub funding helped us through last winter but grants are proving harder to come by in the new economic climate.

At this Annual Meeting we need to be realistic about how much longer we can remain solvent and develop a plan for the near future.
