CAMROSE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
CHARITY NUMBER 503480
REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30th APRIL, 2021
There are four Trustees and the charity is administered by an Association Committee in line with the adopted Constitution and Aims & Objects
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
As the pandemic hit, in March 2020, just before the beginning of this financial period, the Camrose Community Centre had to be completely closed, not just the main building but also the second building, normally occupied by our community's Camrose & Roch Playgroup.
As certain ‘lockdown’ criteria began to be eased, our playgroup was permitted to return, in September 2020, and partial re-opening of our main building was also allowed to happen (at this time). However, subsequent ‘full lockdowns’ (as decreed by the National Governments), over the autumn/winter of 2020, and into spring 2021, continued to significantly impact our community, in terms of using and benefiting from our Community Centre facilities, ongoing.
Despite this extremely challenging time, for all the volunteers on our committee, our team really ‘rose to the challenge’ of coping with the pandemic and when movement restrictions were partially lifted (midway through the year), we worked hard to clean and freshen up our facilities ahead of anticipated re-opening legislation, as well as updating all our booking systems/forms and our risk assessments, too. To do this, we took on all the advice from Pembrokeshire County Council and, also, Pembrokeshire Association Of Voluntary Services (PAVS), with regard to ‘how to safely re-open’, which we are most grateful for!
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Despite all of this, due to so many forced closures because of the very necessary ‘lockdowns’ imposed, income from hiring our facilities was totally decimated to a level never ever seen before, in the lifetime of the Camrose Community Centre, yet, still, our standard overheads needed to be paid!
It was for this reason that we are extremely grateful and we consider ourselves very fortunate to have been awarded several substantial grants and donations from both Government and Charitable Sources, over this financial period — this source of income has really injected some financial stability back into our Association which means that we can continue to (not only) manage our Camrose Community Centre on a ‘day to day’ basis but that we can also now really proactively use this opportunity and experience to enhance our facilities further, into the future.
IN SUMMARY
It has been an extremely challenging year for us all but, at the same time, it has been very exhilarating in terms of how (as a team) we have had to ‘battle our way’ through these unprecedented and uncertain times but we are, without any doubt, fully invigorated to move our fantastic Camrose Community Centre facilities, into the future, thus to hopefully further benefit all our community residents and close neighbouring communities, too!
