FRIMLEY COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
Trustees Annual Report for the Year 2023/24
MAJOR ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE YEAR
Faced with a potentially crippling increase in electricity costs in April 2024, a decision was made in 2023 to invest £20,000 from our reserves in a solar energy system. A further £8,000 proved to be forthcoming from Awards for All and another £2,000 from Surrey County Council. The budget was accordingly increased to £30,000 to fund an installation that was expected to produce about 45% of our electricity at its Summer-time peak.
An old, double-glazed door and window unit to the rear of the Club Room reached the end of its useful life and was replaced with a new installation.
The final significant piece of work was the rebuilding of the bridge over the stream to the South of the Centre. The old one was no longer safe and was starting to break up.
Ongoing maintenance work was carried out on the grounds, boiler, security alarms, fire alarms and fire extinguishers . External pest control also continued.
A full weekday programme of activities has continued, with many enquiries from potential users having to be turned away.
Charitable support has been maintained for the Royal British Legion, our senior citizens' Balmoral Club and other occasional fundraising events in our main hall.
Cash at the bank on 31[st] March stood at £19,267.
Reserves
Sufficient reserves are needed to maintain the Community Centres building and grounds in good order.
Risks
Medium and long term challenges are posed by major items of refurbishment and repair.
Objects
The Association promotes the benefit of the inhabitants of Frimley and neighbouring areas by providing facilities for education, leisure-time activities and social welfare. Its primary responsibility is to manage, maintain and develop Frimley Community Centre.
