2024 has been an interesting. and at times a very frustratin& year. Although Crook
Community Association CIO was given its own entity, in February, we have not been
able to move forward as quickly ￿ we would have liked.
Unfortunately our new registration did not corne through in time for us to submit our
application for funding through the Community Ownership Fund and we had to wait
for the next window to open. We were emailed on a Thursday that this would be
happening on the following Monday. Then on Saturday we were sent another email
telling us that this had now been cancelled due to the Government calling the
election. Timing was not on our side, again.
This meant we continued fund raising towards the future purchase of our building at
the same time as tying to find alternative funding opportunities.
Later in the year we approached our bank to organise the change of name on our
accounts and were assured that this shoulthi't take long to achieve and the paperwork
was obtained and completed. This did not turn out to be accurate and at the end of the
year we were still operating under the St. Catherine's Community Association banner.
We therefore have no accounts to submit this year, with this limited Annual Report,
and we can only hope that 2025 is more productive.
