Dingwall Community Centre Trustees. Annual Report l¢ontinu• Year ènded 31 March 2023 hlevements and perforrnance For most of the year Ihe Community Centre's Corfjrdinator was ￿wIN) very abty rnanaged all the Community Cenlre's business. However she resigned from the at the end of February 2023. Interviews for a nev4 C(H)rdinator were durirkg February. The Cwdinalorfs post remained vacant until 1st April 2023 when a new C(￿rdinal0r vras appointed. The volunteer Trustees, and ￿ did very effective work to keep the Cofflmunty Centre runnirNJ during February and MarCh.￿ntinueS to supp(xt the new co.0rdlnats￿. Starting in November 2021 we look on a TraI￿e C04)rdinalor. which was enabled by a HigNand Council employment scheme called HERO. The HERO scheme iwluded a grant which was from a fund managed by the Highland Council to cover a FXOPNtN)n of the eMrAO￿nent costs. Before we decided lo participate in Ihe HERO scheme it was fully apwecialed by the Board that there would be a significant cost to the Community cent￿ -bul the wtenbal t￿￿11$ for the individual employed and meeting Ihe aims of Communty Centre would be of great advantage. The scheme provided a person with training and development but had m¢)dest benefrts for the Community Centre. Indeed a visit by the HERO managers in May 2022 went successfully and Ihey were very satisf￿d by Ihe Irainiry and be￿Its we were prowdiw the trainee. The Trainee Ctrordinaiix employed through the HERO scheme abrupuy resigned - early- on 30th September 2022 to attend college. During the Sumrner of 2022 our c(pordInat￿ and Trai[￿ Co-ordinal(K ¢(￿lInued to improve some of the inleri)r decoration. Major de￿31￿ improvements were made to the e[Itra￿e hall. the comF4ete slairwell and the Games R(MJm. The outsvje app￿￿n￿ of the tyJilding was much eNhance(I by smartening up the errtranGe awKI the insia#alion of wirKlow ix)xes. The Community Centre provideij a dedicated wami space through￿1 the Autumn and Winter starting from October 2022 until March 2023. We wovided refreshments. use of the free Wi-Fi and access to a laptop that has been éonaled to us. for anyone Ihat needed IL Other contributors Ir￿lUding the Cofflmunity Fridge- provided a lunch pathpants of Ihe warm spxe during some of this period. Unfortunately some of the Communty Centre's users actNitks wrfinue to be disrupted and ¢urtaled from a conlinuing infiuence of the CovhJ downlum. sin￿ Ihe Summer of 2022 rt appears to us that the finances of a lol of our users seem 10 have ccrfne ufKler pressure. resulting in a downturn of room bookings. Having said that the Communrty Centre continues to be reasonatly I￿sY and our usage involves a good number of groups and 1ndw￿UaIs. We continue to supp(Kt our ne￿hbOUr - th8 Dingwall Commuw FrKlg8 and we hav8 made some donations lo various otW chankn"8S thr(xJglMxrt the year.

Dingwall Community Centre Trustees, Annual Report(contin1￿) Year ended 31 March 2023 Flnanclal revièw As a consequeTKe of our train￿ c￿[dir￿tOr leawrvJ eaty - a Signif￿nt part of the HERO grant wh￿h was Pahj lo the Communty Centre in retrospective blod( pa￿nents was substantially feduced. This was because the training Per￿ just missed the required 52 week threskKld. The anticipated cost of the trainee to the Community Centse YEre Ihereby increas8d. appropriate costs of the dec￿allonS to the Communty Centre to preserv8 its got>J standard were boine by the Community Cenlre. Unfortunately. as explained at)ve - some of the Comfflunity c￿tre.$ users activities continue to be disrupted and curtailed with a downtum in bookings. 11 was FK)ped that the usual quiet summer holiday period at the Communty Centre would be folbwed by a nom)ally busier winier period but in the event this did not transpire. We have had a signrficantly few l¢Mg-term LKrf)k1n￿ - groups and users vtho are no longer returning or have ￿d￿ced their twX)kin9s This is due to changes In their fUt￿Ing receiv& or increase in their running Gosts or siwnply irfflation and Sp￿d1￿j kss ihus making some groups and classes non- viable. As a resull the rentsl in13)me this yeaf has decreased lo a level near lo that of 10 years ago. Overall. there is consequendy a matenal reducb.on in th8 Community Cenlre's finances.
