Section D Achievements and performance
This has been a very unusual and challenging year as a result of the Summary of the main Covid-19 pandemic achievements of the charity during the year The Trustees have continued with meetings as regularly as they could be. These and email contact helped to make difficult decisions on the way forward, including Covid-19 compliance and the progression of improvement and extension building works. At the beginning of 2020 the Centre was hosting a number of Community Groups both weekly and monthly. We were also very busy with commercial hirers, from ballet to yoga, birthday and other parties and Saturday markets. We were averaging hirings of 100 hours per week. However, following an emergency meeting on 19[th] March 2020 the Centre was closed in compliance with the prevailing restrictions. Once allowed to reopen within the latest restrictions in the autumn, we kept our Community presence going within the rules, by supporting the Saturday Farmers’ Market with outdoor tombola/raffles and restricted indoor sales. The website was continually updated and notices were posted to keep everyone up to date.
Despite the restrictions, the improvement works have continued to progress. Our hopes for the future reflect our long standing constitutional aim of providing space for the local community to meet for a wide variety of activities whilst keeping hire charges to a minimum. The provision of such a facility is of huge importance in supporting the social and emotional needs highlighted by the restrictions of the pandemic.
