Chairs report 2020/2021

The Centre closed during the Co-vid academic and has lately only allowed individual use of our facilities. No meetings have taken place but the Directors have run the Centre and accounts are up to date and audited.

I am sorry to advise that Stuart Osbourne, our IT guru and volunteer, died this year. He will be missed by all.

Whilst closed the Centre updated the heating system by the replacement of two elderly boilers with a Combi system. This will save money as no hot water storage is required. Repairs have also taken place to the buildings roof thus making it watertight.

We obtained grant funding and upgraded the memory and hard drives on all the computers. At present the operating systems are also being upgraded to Windows 10.

Our long term Tenant has severed their lease with the centre and will vacate the premises in the new year. This will cause a problem with the running costs of the building and the Directors are investigating what actions can be taken to alleviate the situation. In the first instance we will try to fill the leased area with another tenant or tenants, but if we find that impossible then other options, such as moving to smaller premises or even closing the Charity may have to be considered. If no tenants can be found then the Directors will call a special meeting of all members and present the available options for consideration.
