## Uxbridge Centre AGM - Chairman’s Report for 2024 Welcome to the AGM for 2024. I would like to welcome everyone who has kindly given up their Friday night to be here and review how the centre has performed for 2024. Firstly, I would like to thank all the people involved with running the Centre on a voluntary basis; the Management Committee, their families and friends for their continued support and hard work throughout 2024. We always highlight the huge impact that volunteers have on the running of the centre’s activities, and this year has been no different; we would not be able continue to keep the centre open without their contribution – so a big thanks to all our volunteers. 2024 has been another strong year financially and Peter will take us through the numbers later. 2024 has been another very busy year. We now have 24 regular hall users as well as the NHS Blood Donor Team who use our space 5 or 6 times a year. Most Saturday and Sunday afternoons are booked out for private bookings, mainly children’s birthday parties and other family celebrations. Joanna, Helen, Julia, Teresa, Linda, Sandra and a whole host of amazing helpers made sure the ‘Coffee and Cake’ Thursday morning group continued to be a central part of the local community providing a great social support to many local people. The weekly attendance numbers have continued to grow, and thanks to various funding opportunities i.e. LBH Warm Winter funding, LBH Summer Activities funding and NHS Winter funding we have continued to deliver weekly activities including Tai Chi, Yoga, Crafts and First Aid as well as a variety of other enjoyable activities. Our attendees have been encouraged to take part in bi-annual fundraising activities to financially support the centre and draw in other people from within the local area. 2024 also provided the opportunity to collaborate with LBH by providing space for the popular Strength & Balance class, which had to move to the Large Hall due to the growing number of attendees. Joanna and the centre’s group of volunteers also provided homemade soup for monthly free lunch sessions throughout the winter months. These were well attended, and good use was made of the food donations provided by Tesco. The annual Christmas lunch was another success, and everyone was impressed by the fabulous array of food and the wonderful singer who entertained everyone whilst they danced the afternoon away! The Christmas wreath classes were well attended by many local regulars, and we also welcomed some newbies keen to be creative. Maintaining a historic building always proves to be a challenge and this building is no different! It requires constant maintenance, and we have had the help and voluntary support of Mike Hiscox for lots of ‘caretaking’ and small maintenance jobs – we are very grateful for his support throughout the year. With Pete’s help, Mike has also returned our treasured tapestries to their rightful place, now safely protected behind polycarbonate sheets. Completed by Angie Brydges – Chairperson ## Uxbridge Centre AGM - Chairman’s Report for 2024 This is a good point to highlight that as a committee, we are always looking for additional expertise and support so if anyone has some knowledge of Health and Safety and/or Buildings and Maintenance we would love you to come and join us to ensure this valuable community asset continues to be available for the local neighbourhood. Negotiations to renew our lease with the Uxbridge Parish (St Peter’s Trust) have continued. We have now been offered a 10-year lease with an opportunity to buy the building if we are able to raise the funds. The current estimated cost is £1,000,000. If we are unable to raise money for the purchase, the Trust will take back the building. Our Centre Co-ordinator, Shirley Simpson, has worked hard in maintaining great relationships with our regular hire groups, ensuring we maximise the bookings at weekends, identifying funding streams and applying for funding to keep our various activities going and most importantly ensuring all the payments are in on time! The management committee would like to thank her for her hard work and dedication. It is so pleasing to see that the centre now provides many free, family-friendly activities to help improve social isolation and community cohesion. Thank you to all our volunteers (including the committee and their families) that have provided their services for a common goal, generated wonderful energy, and created a space that is very welcoming and inclusive. I wish you all, and the Uxbridge Centre, good fortune for 2025.
