Trustees Report 2021-22
Following the complete reconfiguration of the downstairs and refurbishment of the upstairs rooms the Centre has now fully reopened after COVID restrictions were lifted and welcomed back students, tutors and hirers from September 2021.
The Centre had an extremely successful Re-opening event, attended by Braintree District Chairman and Councillors, held in the newly regressed and re-laid garden.
The Braintree Heroes Plaque was unveiled and dedicated at the event and is now displayed at the entrance to the Centre. It was formerly sited in George Yard Shopping Centre but had been damaged and the Centre therefore commissioned a new one. Elwyn Bishop, Spencer Gilhooley and Ann Rolls names were added to the new Plaque, honouring their work for the community at large.
Dolphin Womens Institute, who meet in the Centre, kindly donated a “Braintree Seedling” apple tree, which was dedicated to the garden at the same event..
After a tentative start, the bookings have increased over the year and the Centre is operating at almost full capacity 9-5.30 Monday to Friday.
However, it is noted that the evening bookings are still down, as people in general seem reluctant to come out in the evenings.
With bookings increasing, the Centre has been able to employ a second administrator with the committee helping out with evening and Saturday bookings.
The Trustees would like to thank the Management Committee and staff for their diligence in ensuring the Centre has financial stability and can meet the needs of the Community.
