The Fo(xS Bank continues after Ihe Pandèmic as the cost<bf-Itwng has forced many residents lo use this

a Wami Haven to allow residents to gain wamith and save energy Costs al home, have a cup of tea and receive
direct information on benefits, housirKJ, emplo￿nent and other issues such as domeslic and alcohol abuse.
People 8ttending Ihe Wam Haven can also charge their devices, access our Wifi, use our hot showers and

b. Rotherhithe
Rotherhithe continues to maintain a high level of attendance of user groups, although the pitch is causing sc%ne
problems wth Continuous repairs putting it out of order for rn￿Y weeks throughoul the year We wll seek
funding lo repair the prtch and roof nel.
Junior Football groups continue to flourish. and a coaching academy now rents an office in the main building
and gives a great presence to parents. User groups contsnue to use the facilth'es and we deliver a varièty of
proieds in partnefship wrth other CIC'S and Charrties Such as Football for Dementia sufferers along wth vaii)us
other classes fot elderty people dedicaied to Increasing lrfe expectancy. providing company and developing
friendships.
Some funding has been received for the Cabin, this wll enh￿ce the crriginal building and increase the number
of users seeing outside of hours increasing. More furKlir¥J wll be required Wever.
c. Slrattwd
A5 above, The Stralford Centre is primarily a SForting venue and suffered dye to ? long period of closure. Along
with our very popular chilycare provision and as a result of most parerrts being forced to work from home, the
need lo provide childcaie places ha5 reduced considerably. Staff have made various efforts to ir￿reaSe
numbers bringing them up to the level pri¢Y to the p8ndemic. The numbers are stsrting lo ￿ase Dnce again
and staff have made a conscious eff￿ lo stsnd OU￿"￿e schools to hand out various literatu￿ on the play c3
provision.
The h(iurs of use have increased in the sports hall. predominanty from an increase in basketball sessions. This
has been very valuable to the levds of income and through word of mouth has re￿￿ed most of the football
teams who tended lo ctcupy the evening hours. The Cenlie also houses a resident training C¥ganisat￿. which
has had a major impact on the income and generates an all-year-round income stream.
The Food Bank plays a major role at the Stratlord cent￿ and whilst.we await the wtcome ol the planning
application for a new CommLJnity Centre in the area, it was suggested that we scale up the overall size of the
new Food Bank and prowde one which (an be er￿ted quite quickly. 11 was agreed that Mace Construction
would pfovide a porta cabin and install it in the ¢ar park so the Food Bank wul¢J ¢ontinue without any
inconvenience to residents.
The Slratford Centre wll continue to Provide a varrety of 5POrting. social. recreational and educats.onal activities
lo a variety of local people wth a focus on the most vulneratde and disadvantaged including people suffering
from food and hygiene Foverty. lonely elderfy people, adults disabilities. BAME gr¢JJPS, refugees and al-risk
young Feople and chiklren.
