Financial Year 1st May 2020 - 30th April 2021
Greetham Community Centre was set up by a Trust Deed dated 31st December 1981. It is constituted as a Trust with trustees being elected at AGM tri-annually. The object of the charity is the provision of a village hall for the use of the inhabitants of Greetham; for meetings, leisure activities, classes and other forms of recreation, with the object of improving the conditions of life of such inhabitants. It does this by providing a venue and facilities for sports and social use and meetings, and is used by a variety of clubs and organisations of all ages and interests, e.g W.I., Bowls, Petanque, Badminton, Tennis , Rutland Dog walkers, Baby sensory, Keep fit, Childrens Vision group and the Rutland Supported Youth Group.
Our sports hall is also used by a local school for young adults with special needs. It is used as a meeting place by the Parish Council, and as well as social functions put on by the Management Committee e.g. Burns Night Supper, New Years Eve Party, Fireworks night, Childrens xmas party,Safari Supper, Halloween party, Comedy Night, Summer Ball and “The Gathering” - a meeting of classic and vintage cars and motorcycles and their owners. It is hired out by local residents/businesses as a meeting/ training facility or for private celebrations.
The Centre receives no public funding and is run entirely by volunteers. This year has continued to be a very different and difficult one with the closure of the community centre facilities during the majority of the reporting period due to the Covid 19 Pandemic restrictions. This had a significant impact on the centres income and community interaction for the financial year.
During the year we continued to maintain the centre as required from both a buildings perspective and health and safety. Considerable work was put in by the Trustees to ensure that the centre would be Covid compliant at the point the Government was to give the green light for us to commence activities. During the year we were successful in receiving Grants for two very large projects at the Centre. The first project was to replace the current lighting
and fencing in the Multi Use Courts and to have a new playing surface and equipment. This work was completed in September 2020. Grants were secured with the Community centre setting aside an additional £2000 towards the overall costs. Part of the grants were paid direct with £20000 going through the centres accounts.
The second project was to complete building works to allow better disabled access to the centre by putting in a large patio and patio doors at the front of the building. Additionally new flooring, decoration, chairs for the meeting room /bar area and the removal of a wall to give a larger space. Included in the project was also new chairs for the hall and an upgrade to the ventilation/extraction unit in the kitchen. This work was started in August 2020 and completed in October 2020. Grants were secured with the community centre setting aside an additional £2400 towards the overall cost.
With the centre being closed due to the Covid 19 restrictions we were very fortunate to be provided with great support from the local Rutland County Council and government support schemes with a total of £49293 being received during the reporting period. The trustees were able from this income to maintain the centre during the reporting period, keep our one paid member of staff.
All of our normal routes of income from donations, centre led events, bar taking and lettings were virtually non existent.
At the end of the reporting period we had 10 Trustees Mrs P Evans - Chair, Mrs P Kelly – Secretary, Mr P Devoto – Treasurer MR R Easson, Mr R Tidd, MR E Finn, Mr K Edward, Mrs E Peachey, Mrs J Denyer, Mrs K Anderson. This team are ably assisted by a great team of volunteers from the community on an adhoc basis. The Watsapp group that we created for friends of the community where we can post requests for volunteers for events or teams to complete refurbishment within the centre has been a good source of co opting support. We have also increased our use of social media platforms to better educate and communicate with the local community. The updating of facilities continues and the more we do to improve our centre the more it is used.
All in all, a very difficult but another successful year and we are in a good place for the opening of the centre when restrictions are lifted.
