CHAIRMANS REPORT
A y¢ar of enforc¢d inactivity doesn't excus¢ our l(Kal politicians for maintsining their
abandonment of our young people. Leadership is required to come from somewhere to show
Ihe young do count and that there 15 a choice other than gangs or just wandering the streets.
Unfortunately I do not see any signs of leadership in this regard.
The Youth and Con)Jnunity Report shows how we have been closed down because of Covid
and have been unable to continue to provide facilities for young people and SUPFX)rt the
Conununity.
We are still pursuing our relationship with the Croydon Sea Cadets and hoping for a
beneficial outcome for both parties.
General care and maintenance at Croydon is superbly done by Tracy and Tony Backshall but
this year nothing at all which will cause a big buili up in things to be done when we do open.
Hareswith Pond. our Nature Study and Outdoor Activity Centre at Storrington, West Sussex,
was able to provide a much needed refuge for families in their 'bubbles' during the summer.
regret that because of personaI circumstances I have not been able to be as involved as
much as in the past year and. unfortunately. do not hold out much hope for an early
improvement.
Alan Homes.

TREASURERS REPORT
The Accounts for the financial year April 2020 _ March 2021 showed a surplus of £25,653,
with a closing balance of £40.457. This was the result of Covid 19 Support GrJJ]ts and staff
being put on Furlougb.
General Fund - shows thai there is a £21,686 Credit" against the debit of £9.010 of the
previous year. This w&s ¢ntirely due to the Covid 19 Grants of £20,660 and Furlough Grants
of £15,507 which offset the loss of income from leiiings due to the closure during Lockdowns
durAng the year. We did have some Lettings when lockdowns were not inforced with users
made resFrt)nsible for their own cleaning of Covid 19 sanitation requirements. as the amount of
use w&s small and irregular generating insufficient income to re-instate staff. A¢¢ Van Hire,
based a few hundred yards from the club, have agreed to hire the cary)ark when not needed and
this has been the main sourc¢ of income along with Serenity SEN School and the Sea Cadets.
Under the Government Covid-19 Suppor¢ Trdcy and Tony have been furloughed. until fi￿¢r
notice.
Members Fund- With no -open" youth club, the only income is from Ihe pupil referral units,
using the coffec bar occasionally. The Members Fund will b¢ closed and balance tranSfe￿¢d
to the Generafi Fund.
Mini Bus Fund - having been written off by th¢ insurance company last year the fmal income
of £600, for the sale of the vehicle, is shown. The Minibus Fund will be closed and balanc¢
trallsfe￿ed to the General Fund.
Storrin
ton Fund - Showed a SUTplus of £3.061 being up from the previous Y￿,5 surplus of
£2.118. This being as a result of the increase in Hiring due to Covid 19 blocking peoples usual
holiday abroad. Expenditure on utilities and Tepairs increased from that of th¢ previous yeaT
partially due to the increased hirtng. Again thanks are given to the various parties who donated
tools. materials, time and labour, these PCTsons and companies being highlighted in both the
Chaimian's and Leaders reports.
We are thankful to both Croydon and Horsham Councils for th¢ Covid 19 Rate R¢li¢f
resulting in no Business Rates were paid for the Croydon Old Town and Storrington premises.
We would also like to thank Tom Simmonds, own¢T of All Save, who hLs provided free of
charge the servicing And replacement of fire extinguishers at both Croydon and Storrington for
tbe past 5 years.

YOtrrH AND COMMUNITY REPORT 2020121
COVID 19 caused the closure of the club and the staff being pul on fiwlough for the whole of this
fingllcial year. However by working ￿1th useT groups they were able to use the ptemises, wh¢n permitted
by r¢strictions. ex¢rcising their own cleaning and sanitisation regin]es. This h¢lp¢d them cope with the
difficult circumstances they found themselves in and were able to participate. in their 'bubbles'. in those
activities that their membeTS waIited.
STORRINGTON was used by 'family bubbles. most weekend during the summer and provided a
welcome safe outdoor experience for the children after months of being locked dowi. The group of
volunteers ty to keep th¢ cabin, the lake and the woods in good older but it is a mammoth task. During
the year Norvin, Kirsty and myself have carried out safety checks and felled 2 ash die back trees.
CO-OPERATION WITH THE COMhIUNITY AND OTHER AGENCIES
BALL GAMF.S AREA was used by users when on the premixes.
PUPIL REFERRAL UNrrs did nol us¢ th¢ premises during the year but have said they will start again
in the next Academic Year.
PILATE classes were closed.
YOGA classes were closed
CHILDRENS BIRTHDAY PARTIES bookings were cancelled and closed for the year.
CROYDON SEA CADETS did not use the premises.
CROYDON DROP tN COIYSELLING closed for the year.
SOUTH CROYDOI¥4 TABLE TENNIS CLUB closed for most of the year
SERENITY SEN SCHOOL opened in September and used the premises when schools were not on
lo¢kdown.
We have been sorry that we have not been able lo provide our usual services to the community this year.
It has be¢n v¢ry strange walking up and checking the security of tbe building when it is so empty and cold
in5t¢ad of its usual hive of activity.
L&8tly may I thank all those that have provided support when needed during this difficult year.
