Forest Park Community Association CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

APRIL 2020- MARCH 2021

In accordance to Government Guidelines, the Community Centre was closed in March 2020, due to the COVID 19 pandemic.

Our first committee meeting due in May 2020 was postponed indefinitely. During this time Lynn and Debbie worked closely with Bracknell Forest Borough Council (BFBC) to update some of our paper work and procedures. A Business Plan was written and membership was clarified.

Government guidelines advised us that we could open on July 4[th] 2020 for certain supervised activities, but not for ad- hoc parties.

A small committee group met on 1[st] July to prepare the hall to open as a COVID safe venue. Notices were put up, one way system put in place and Lynn H did a thorough job cleaning before opening. We did a risk assessment using ACRE (Action for Communities in Rural England) guidelines and worked closely with BFBC. All user groups also had to complete a risk Assessment. Some groups choose not to return, but it was agreed to keep their slots open at no charge until they could return.

Thanks to Lynn J for arranging WI Fi to be installed, and for applying for a grant of £10k which we were very grateful to receive. This allowed us to manage our finances, while our income was much reduced this year.

We held a committee meeting in the hall in August 2020. All expenditure was put on hold for the time being.

The Centre was only open for a few months and then we had to shut again on the 5[th] November as we went back into Lockdown. The officers of the committee met on Zoom on 23[rd] November to discuss the current situation. Both Lynn Jenkins and Lynn Haddon are now on partial furlough working reduced hours. Lynn J continued to carry out all the required safety checks and expenditure was reduced to a minimum.

In March 2021, Debbie and Lynn J had an online meeting with BFBC to clarify some issues. We also applied and received another 10K grant at the end of March 2021.

Sadly, Jackie Poole, our Treasurer for over 15 years resigned to ill-health, and we would like to record our thanks to Jackie for her work with the Community Centre.

As an interim measure Sandra Douglas, our bookeeper agreed to take over our accounts and to computerise them.

Thanks for everyone who has worked to keep the Centre going during this very difficult year.

Signed ……………………………………. Paul Craven
