Chairperson's Report 2022123

services of the Centre, to offer staff support, and most importantly, to work with the pupils, parents,
local businesses and the local community to raise f unds to facilitate ongoing improvement to the
Centre and the f acilities off ered therein.
The Centre is a register8d charity, governed by a committee, comprising secretary, treasurer. chair
and our members - additionally, we have staff representatives who attend meetings to offer
additional advice, support, and guidance.
2022123 finally say a return to 'normality', after a was a challenging period for fundraising in the
light of a two-year period of restrictions, lockdowns, and an ever-changing landscape of legislation
and regulations. We successfully held a Summer Fair last year, followed by our Christmas Fair last
November.
To that end, I would like to formally extend my thanks to the staf f
who continue to go above
and beyond their day jobs to support our events. We couldn't do it without youl
This leads me on to our Committee. In my years as Chair, I have been extremely privileged to have
had such a supportive and enthusiastic group of parents to work with, who have thrown themselves
into various tasks with vigour
we make a great team! To Joe, Caroline, Janine, Anna, Gemma and
Stacey, sincere thanks, you are truly invaluable.
Our fundraising was somewhat curtailed in 2020 121. but thanks to the generosity of families and
friends of the centre, who 'bore with us. on our adjusted events, we still managed to raise almost
£5k over this period.
With the support of these parents and families in 2022123. we had our best year to date for
fundraising last year, which will go a long way to reaching our goals. So to everyone who sponsored
their child. bought a raff le ticket, donated items f or our fair, or donated your time
thank you.
The f unds that are raised are allocated and spent in conjunction with the Centre staff
and
discussed with and signed off by the Committee. In 2022123, we aimed to further bolster the fund to
replace the outdated mobile on our grounds (Room 31, and we made significant contribution towards
that.
The current situation is that Room 3 has had the roof repaired and new heating system this year.
The planning application for the new building is still with the council and the amendment on the
lease is still with the E.A. We hope to have further updates soon.

PLAYGROUP
Of course, we would absolutely welcome new members on board. we are looking for parents who can attend a
monthly Meeting and help out at fundraising avents. We need one volunteer to ensure that we continue to operate
legally. If you don't f eel you can commit to a f ull membership role, we would be gratef ul if you'd consider adding
your name to our 'helpers' list, with no obligation. If you think you could even spare an hour over the course of the
year, please do submit your name, we'd be genuinely grateful.
In summary, it's been a lovely return to 'business as usual, and with the support of the fabulous staff and
committee, l am confident that we Can Continue to build on the success of 2022123.
I look forward to meeting as many of the parents and families as possible over the course of the next few
months. My contact details are on the board in reception should you wish to get in touch at any time

staff members will be happy to convey them.
