Gascoyne One Community Centre Annual Report and Accounts 2022-2023
The lease of the Community Centre building with Sanctuary Housing Association ( SHA ) was finally agreed and began on 1st February of this year (2023). These accounts only show significant income and expenditure from the date of the lease. The lease is to run for two years alongside a Service Level Agreement between us and SHA.
Under the Service Level Agreement we have with SHA they are still responsible for repairs to the community centre and for paying fuel bills for an initial period of two years. In practice it has proved a challenge to get the repairs done and there are still outstanding items from the list we compiled a year ago. SHA are to provide us with information on the costs of fuel so that we would have a better idea of the total running costs of the community centre but they have been unable to do this.
We have negotiated a Dowry from SHA of £7,500 for the coming year which is not restricted and should cover our running costs, including activities that we pay for out of our funds, when added to the projected income from hiring out the centre for events.
We depend mainly on work by volunteers to function and we expect this to continue despite our projected income for the coming year.
Current activities run by the centre:
Weekly Yoga class Bi weekly Pilates class Weekly Homework Club Weekly exercises for older people followed by refreshments Weekly Zumba class Weekly craft workshop Weekly community lunch Hosting a local health forum
