Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity** Covid-19 restrictions meant that only the Baby and Toddler group was **during the year** able to restart weekly after Easter, but more groups returned once restrictions lifted in the autumn. Continuing weekly outdoor market, raffles and sales provided a much needed opportunity for social interaction in the community. New groups started to use the Community Centre, taking advantage of our improved facilities. Our guidelines ensured the best needs of everyone were taken into account and activities were run safely. Risk assessments and operating procedures have been updated frequently and communicated to volunteers and Users. The website was continually updated with progress and notices were posted to keep everyone up to date. We held an official Opening Ceremony for the extension on Saturday 25[th] September. With the increased size of the Centre and improvement work, some costs have increased, including for heating & lighting, extra cleaning and also for insurance. The government Covid-19 grants have covered our running costs when we have had a much reduced income. We have added more community benefit by fitting two Electric Vehicle charging points and have approved a Disaster Recovery Plan, which covers not only any issues from running the Centre, but also how we fit in with any local incidents and use through the County Council Places of Safety Scheme. 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.
