On 18th March 2020 all activities stopped: and the centre re-opened on 12 April 2021-
this now seems like a distant memory and the centre has now retumed to full
programme of activitres.
The Association continues to be responsible for the payTnent of all energy supply and
consumplion of energy on the premises. Currentty, we receive gas energy from Total
Energies Gas & Power Limited and Edf and the electricity supply is from British Gas. We also
own three feed-in-tariff meters for solar power that help reduce our carbon fool-print.
Throughout the year we have undertaken many repairs to the building i.e_ repaired leaking taps,
flushing units, changed many lights, repaired damaged doors. repaired gas boilers, cleared
gutters and repaired a several parts of the flat roofs as well as carried out statutory safety
compliance tests. We changed all automatic light switches to manual ones in order to save
energy. The automatic ligm switches tended to stay on for much loryer than they need to be
tumed on.
