= 1 MARTINRIDLEY DH65AT CHAIR Chaniteeen March 2025 ## **Annual Report 2024** I would like to Thank Everyone for all their continued support, Staff and Volunteers. Once again we have had another successful year and would like to take this time to Thank once again all of the Staff and Volunteers for all their hard work, of which the Centre heavily relies upon. Once again the Centre continues to be very well used by the local and wider community, and by users from outside the area. This past year has seen us replace nearly all of the chairs which cost were helped by grants and funding from our local County Councilors and the local Council, decorating has started with the focus being on 1 area at a time, we aim to continue this into the next year. Lunch Club as restarted once a month and is well attended as well as the Chitter Chatter club. Costs continue to raise and as expected utilities and wages are our biggest expense. We are also looking to work again with the Art Group for more murals within the Centre. We continue to work with Bowburn Youth Club, and the local Councilors in ensuring our continued ties and strong links. As always we welcome any ideas on improving the Centre and I look forward to your continued support this next year.
