ST. ANDREW’S (SUTTON PARK) COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION 35[TH] REPORT
St. Andrew’s (Sutton Park) Community Association is an unincorporated body governed by the Constitution dated 1989 and amended in 2005 and again in 2019.
There have been six meetings since our last Annual General Meeting. This covers the period from 28[th] May 2024 to 20[th] March 2025.
Following Rev. Chris Van Straaten’s retirement in January 2024, Lynda Spinks, a member of the Friendship Group has now stepped into the role of Minutes Secretary. It was with regret that Alan Padwick had resigned from the committee. His contribution will be missed.
The History of Community Centres in Hull, commissioned and published by the Carnegie Heritage Centre, researched and written by Ann Hindley, had been presented to the management committee. The launch had been well attended.
Our groups are still going well and consist of Just 4 Kidz / Totz, Tots Play, the Hull Pentecostal Church, A Scout Group and Friendship Group which was formed from the former Women’s Institute members. A pilates group and a dance class also use the community centre. We gave questionnaires to each group asking them about how they felt regarding the centre etc. and got quite a few replies. Most groups were quite happy. The display board has been updated. Room charges have gone up to £15 per hour to cover the increase in costs.
The fire escape spiral staircase has been painted and some work done on the fire doors in the upstairs room. The fridge/freezer in the kitchen has also been replaced and a Halo Wireless Boiler thermostat has been bought and connected to the boiler to give us better control of the heating.
Since September 2024 the Community Centre has been without a cleaner. There has been some difficulty in getting a replacement through the Hull City Council. After several attempts, an interested party has now registered an interest in the post. Meanwhile, the girls from the Kidz Club have been doing an amazing job keeping the place clean and tidy.
Recruiting new members onto the management committee was still ongoing.
We are very grateful for Diocesan and Council help with some of the above over the last year.
