A new Yoga class was added this year. period We are committed in maintaining the fabric of, and equipment within, the building. In doing so we provide a pleasant and welcoming environment for all user groups. Because of major upgrades taken over the past few years. a huge reduction in maintenance and renewals was required this financial year. However. an additional Master Freezer was added to our comprehensive equipment, Strathbrock Community Centre Cornmittee again hosted and financed an 'afternoon tea, following the Annual General Meeting which proved to be a great SUCGess. Our seasonal activities continue with the programme steadily increasing. Again, the New Year Ceilidh was a highlight. Some activities are provided at a low Gost to partiGipants. made possible by subsidies from the managemerrt committee. A rnemorial bench was donated in memory of a long time volunteer and grants were given to Ihe local Fabb Club. Financial review Brlef •tstèment of tha charfty's policy on reserves Unrestricted fund8 of £70,237 were held at the year-end, an increase of almost £20,CK)O on the previous year, mainly due to the redU￿d expenditure on internal building maintenan￿.

However. please see the 'Other optional information, section on page 4 for further information, whieh will influence futu￿ expenditure depending on the outcome of the West Lothian Council proposal. Details of any deficit NIA Donated facilities We again thank West Lothian Council for meeting the utility costs of the centre and for and providing Ihe facility to the trustees at no cost. However, as mentioned above, please see the seNlces (rf 'Other Operational Information, section. any) We also appreciate the Input from parther organisations including FaGility Management SeNices and other organisations aGross West Lothian that assist us in 8nsuring that services and activities remain available to the local community. In &Jdition, Ihe commitment of the trustees and volunleers throughout the organisation ensure we provide a quality service. APPENDIX 1 Other o tional information As part of cu￿ent cost-cutting plans. West Lothian Council (WLC) is reviewing th8 SUPPOrt it gives to community seNices, like our Centre. Up unbl now. WLC has provided and maintsined our building and met the operating Costs, while allowing the Centre to retain the income It generated through lets etc. This allowed the Centr8 to provide the services to the public. A number of options have been proposed by WLC and these, along wrth alternative suggestions from the community centres, are under discussion, However, the outcom expected by the Council is that each community management team should take ownership of, and responsibly for, all costs of running and maintaining the Centre. If such an outcome is achieved, it would have serious consequences for the fvture viability of the Centre. The exact extent of the consequenGes cannot be fully established at present, but a￿ likely to be substantial for the Centre. It is hoped that a mutually agieed solution can be achieved soon.
