The Address of the Charity is: Gaywood Hall Drive (opp. Gaywood Cemetery), King's Lynn, Norfolk, PE30 4EE.
## **OBJECTS, ORGANISATION AND ACTIVITIES**
The Charity is established to promote the benefits of the inhabitants of the areas of Gaywood, Fairstead and the surrounding district without any distinction of sex, race, colour, political, religious or other opinions, by associating the Local Authorities, voluntary organisations and inhabitants, in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interest of the social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.
In furtherance of the above objects, to provide facilities for use by the Community at the premises known as The Gaywood Community Centre and to allow for hire such facilities, to provide an income to adequately maintain such premises.
The Charity is organised as an Independent Association of local residents with a Managing Committee comprising of elected and nominated members. Activities include not only the provision of premises for the use by the general public, but also provides premises for its own fund-raising activities. We have a variety of groups using the Centre on a regular basis, including dance groups and baby sensory group, as well as functions held throughout the year, such as Bingo, Fairs, Boot Sales and Quiz’s. Members of the public use the hall for birthdays young and old, wedding receptions and parties etc.
## **REVIEW OF PROGRESS AND ACHIEVEMENT IN 2022**
In the beginning of 2022 the future was still uncertain due to COVID-19 so we were not expecting much but the Committee still saw the following repairs carried out.
The toilets were refurbished to a very high level, as previously we had ‘made do’ and just replaced the cubicles and repainted in 2018. In both the men’s and the lady’s we have now totally replaced the actual toilets, sinks and vanity units and in

the men’s we’ve also replaced the urinals. We have retiled all the walls and have also had the floor replaced with a new hard wearing washable floor and had all the plumbing checked and mapped.
In 2022 the ‘Small Hall’ was and Annexes were also totally renovated and the Small Hall and all of one Annex, converted into a coffee shop. This has been carried out to a very high specification. Work is almost finished on self-contained toilets for the coffee shop (currently they use the main toilets for the Centre), with the coffee shops own toilets on target to be completed by the end of the year and a further project planned to provide a conference/meeting room from the Annex. We all feel this has been a brilliant project and has earned itself several very complimentary reviews already.
As we had the Outside Gym equipment put up in 2021 for the Community use in 2022, we wanted to be able to install a play park for the younger children. With the Hall situated in such a beautiful area it would be an ideal addition. This we will now be able to start in 2023 as we have now been approved for a grant for £40,000 With the planning permission now also we believe, the parents that attend the children’s groups hiring The Hall will benefit from the Coffee Shop and the Play Park greatly.
## **PLANS FOR 2023**
The Main Hall is the most used room in the building and when we took over as a committee in 2018 we only had this area ‘touched up’ to enable immediate use. In 2023 we would like to have the Main Hall completely refurbished - redecorated, air conditioning units, stage area upgraded; as this is our biggest income area, however, we know this is going to cost a great deal of money, so we will try to gain funding for this.
We would still dearly like to replace all the chairs (around 200), as they are aging now with many becoming unsafe and looking very tatty. We bought some new tables in 2018 but feel we could ideally do with another 10 plus a holding trolley. This was something we had wanted to do in 2020 but with very little money coming into The Hall we couldn’t justify this expense.
The area immediately outside the Community Centre slopes toward the building and is gravelled to an extent. This isn’t very suitable for disabled access and also tends to hold water in heavy rain as the ground is now compacted and the water doesn’t drain affectively. We would like this area assessed and replaced with new ground cover that is more suited to the area.

When the building was upgraded with cladding, it unfortunately showed large areas around the bottom of the building at ground level, that are unlevel and need a base; we also need the drainage pipes coming from The Hall assessed as the ‘down pipes’ just empty onto the grass. Again, this is something that we plan to correct and will look for funding where possible.
The Charity acknowledges the invaluable help of our Management Committee and all volunteers that help run the Community Centre and have given their spare time to help with the refurbishment.
