## **Trustees Report for 2021** On the 6[th] January 2022 the BMCA reached 100 years of service to the Burntwood Community, a tremendous achievement for which the Committee should be extremely proud. The BMCA is slowly coming out of the Covid regulations with our smaller Clubs returning. However, we have lost several of our large longstanding Clubs i.e BOC Health Care, Organ Society etc; this will be a large financial loss to the BMCA to add to the Clubs we lost in 2020. At the AGM in February, the Trustees advised the Committee to be more proactive in attracting new Committee Members to help run the BMCA. There is still a reluctance by the Committee to appoint a new Chairman to run the monthly Meetings, with the result that one of the Trustees is having to Chair the Meetings. This situation cannot be allowed to continue or the BMCA will be forced to close after just celebrating 100 years of existence. Although the BMCA is financially viable for the next few years, due to the Trustees/Officers obtaining grants and also making insurance claims for loss of earnings during the pandemic. The day-to-day income for running the BMCA is insufficient to cover its expenditure due to the ever-increasing energy costs and the proposed increases in the minimum wage etc. All of our expenditure costs are rising at a faster rate than over the past 50 years. This cannot be allowed to continue, for the next two years the BMCA will have to live within its income, only spending on essential repairs or on projects that will reduce costs or bring in new customers. At the AGM the Trustees advised the Committee to appoint the following: - 1. A dedicated person to attract new business 2. A dedicated person to obtain Grants 3. A dedicated person to develop and maintain our website The Trustees will be reviewing the Committees progress over the next three months. The Trustees will authorise the spending on Solar Panels to help in reducing our energy bills and also on spending to install sensors in all appropriate rooms to switch off lighting. During 2021 a leak was discovered in our flat roof, which was repaired under our 10-year warranty, unfortunately we are now in our last year of the warranty and it is quite possible that the flat roof will need re-felting in 2023. The estimated cost to do this is £30,000+. The Committee/Trustees will need to start looking for Grants to pay for this. The next few years are going to be extremely challenging and the Committee will need to work together to get through these years. The Trustees would like to conclude their report by thanking the Officers of the BMCA, our Office Administrator and Staff for all their hard work in assisting the Trustees in keeping the BMCA open and solvent during 2021. **BURNTWOOD MEMORIAL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION** ## **INCOME & EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** |**INCOME**
