Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

To benefit the residents of Lydgate and surrounding area, To advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation to improve the conditions of residents.

To establish and run a Community Centre to promote the above activities

In 2021 we continued to work on the Community Centre to make it safe, attractive, and accessible. We have encouraged volunteers to be involved in this process and it has been a focus of activity which could continue during lock downs giving residents a reason to go out and a sense of purpose and achievement.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

Taking into consideration the negative affects of the Covid Pandemic on our community we have encouraged activities to counteract loneliness and isolation, creating a community herb bed with the local resident’s group and a raised bed, as well as a seating area.

We have begun to develop the area outside the building We have also arranged training to help us deal with mental health issues and have sought to develop activities that would appeal to young people.

Volunteers are at the core of our development. A lot of our time and effort has been focused on the actual building but this has helped a feeling of community involvement and ownership.

Being aware of our responsibilities as Trustees, we have developed safeguarding policies, risk assessments, including for Covid and Fire as well as more general application.

Section D Achievements and performance

Utilising a bid from our local Hydro, we installed new lighting in Summary of the main the main hall, which is more environmentally friendly. We have achievements of the also replaced the lighting in the toilets and kitchen. Emergency charity during the year lighting and signage was also put in place. The large hall was decorated, and we prepared to open, putting in place procedures and resources to ensure the minimisation of infection and an increased level of cleaning. Safeguarding policies were developed for young people and vulnerable adults. As we were not able to open, we could not attract activities and income. The Trustees continued to meet via Zoom, making decisions and seeking grants. In May we met with group leaders who had previously used the hall. Most were able to resume their activities but in a limited way. We installed a fridge, decorated the disabled toilets and paid for a website to be created. At this point we had £214 left. On May 26[th] we held a fundraising activity outside making £1,193. We were still in business! Once able to work together inside the building we rationalised storage, arranged for PAT testing to be done and reorganised our First Aid equipment. The local PTA donated furniture for the outside so that Guides, Scouts and other groups could work together outside. One Trustee met with a Youth Engagement Worker from the local authority to plan a wider range of activities. We also met with representative from Life-Long learning who provide a range of short-term activities for older people. In July we organised the procedure to access Gift Aid. In September we organised a whole community celebration at the hall to share what had been achieved and to encourage greater involvement. We launched a membership scheme. We also held our first AGM. In September we appointed a Booking Secretary which has been a very positive step. We agreed a rigorous booking procedure which is kept under review. We also recruited a Treasurer another asset. As more people were accessing the building, we set up a monitoring system to ensure safety and oversee any maintenance issues. Not everything could be planned for, in August one of the band store ceilings fell in. With limited resources this was a real blow, but we fixed it and the Band helped with a contribution so once again we pulled through. We were just about breaking even. The toilets were painted and problems with the kitchen rectified. In October we applied to the local council, supported by our local Councillors to access the Local Improvement Fund.
