## **THE KENN CENTRE** 

## **’ – Trustee s Report Year Ended 31[st] January 2023** 

The past year has seen the Centre return to a posi�ve financial posi�on, albeit with a net surplus of only £373. However, this masks the £7,046 which has been designated for improvement work to the Centre, both internally and externally. This work will include upgraded external ligh�ng, which will improve both safety and security; internal decora�ng; commercial cleaning and weeding for all outside areas and replacement chairs. 

The increase in ac�vity has been well managed by Neil Woodward who con�nues to balance the demands of external hirers with our commitment to local groups. 

Once again, our finances have been impeccably organised by Elizabeth Harman, goes about her tasks with minimum fuss and maximum efficiency. 

The Centre con�nues to be a focus for a large numbers of groups and organisa�ons from the local community and I am pleased that we have been able to maintain our current hire rates for these hirers. 

In addi�on, we are extremely grateful to St. Christopher’s Mul� Academy Trust for choosing the Centre for so many of their mee�ngs. Our rela�onship with St. Christopher’s is highly valued by the Management Commi2ee. 

With the rising costs for u�li�es and general items plus the overall increase in the living costs of our users, 2023/24 promises to be another challenging year. However, I have every confidence in my fellow Management Commi2ee members and I feel sure that the Centre will con�nue to play an important part in the local community and the wider area. 

As always, my thanks go to all members of the Management Commi2ee for all their hard work during the past year. 

Peter Vickery – Chair, Kenn Centre Management Commi2ee
