- 

=| 

The Charity is established to promote the benefits of the inhabitants of the areas of Gay wood, Fairstead and the surrounding district without any distinction of sex, race, colour, political, religious or other SE NHORS, 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 of 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 the Pavilion coffee shop, U3A, dance groups and a mum and baby group, as well as functions held throughout the year, such as Bingo, Fairs, Boot Sales and Quiz’s. We also allow a couple of Charity groups Parkinsons and Your Choir to have the hall free for their base as it helps the community. Members ofthe public use the[hall] for singing, birthdays young and old, wedding receptions and parties etc. 

## REVIEW OF PROGRESS AND ACHIEVEMENT IN 2024 

Although we have had the main hall refurbed in 2023, the sprung dance floor and the stage area, which is the main part of the hall the community centre is popular for, was refurbed in 2024, this cost in the region of £20,000 and partially came from funding G WATLING and remaining from our own funds raised. We were very pleased to be able to extend the children’s Gaywood Play Park in 2024 as we received a grant for £50,000 from CIL and matched by the Gaywood Community Centre internally raised funds, the park was such a success last year that it was getting a little overcrowded and we also needed to cater for the older children, so we worked with Flights of Fantasy again to add some extra equipment. The parents and children in the community and those that attend the children’s groups hiring The Hall really benefit from the Play Park and Coffee Shop it gives them all a hub to meet. Due to the Community Centre hosting more wedding receptions and parties, having discos and bands whilst we are in a location where there are housing estates, we had to have a noise meter fitted to ensure we weren't creating a nuisance, this cost us £2000 including electricians to fit. The hall has its own internal bar which is one of our biggest money makers with this in mind we felt we should give it a bit of a spruce up so we had the floor (which had been a trip hazard) replaced also as we can't sell beer on draft we needed another cooler for the cans and bottles to be able to keep everything cool enough, Registered Charity Number 303991 3

## PLANS FOR 2026 

The hall is badly short on storage so would like to have the existing store extended to meet with the back kitchen as this is dead space. We will need to gain planning permission for this works, but we aim to raise this money internally around £30,000 would be needed. 

We would still dearly like to replace all the chairs we have (around 200), as they are aging now with many becoming unsafe so being taken out of circulation and others 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 also until we gain enough storage areas for these it won't be 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.
