APPENDIX 1
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period
One of the key activities during the reporting period was preparation of the town’s Local Place Plan working together with the Community Council and Gatehouse Development Initiative. The Plan will serve the town well in supporting community development projects in the coming years.
Unfortunately work to progress a new build redevelopment of the Community Centre was paused due to a nationwide lack of capital funds for the works. This was very disappointing particularly as we had to cease hire of the Meeting Room due to extensive damp making it unsuitable for most events and the building suffers from various leaks in periods of heavy rain/storms.
The focus therefore was on business as usual: we ran our usual events, a mulled wine and Christmas cookies stall at Gatehouse Christmas Market, a Burns Lunch in January and a Gala Week Open Day in August; we successfully sought grants to support our programme of minor improvements including new kitchen equipment and new curtains for the hall; and we worked closely with hirers and our 2 anchor tenants to ensure their bookings/tenancy ran smoothly.
We entered into a contractual agreement with the company doing essential and urgent works the primary school for use of our car park
We continue to work alongside IBike Communities to promote cycling within the town. Bookings held up well although we lost one regular monthly hire and there is some evidence of reduced one off hires.
We continue to maintain a social media profile through our Facebook page and to actively engage with other local groups.
Despite the problems with the building which take up management time and eat into our reserves the Board works hard as a team to provide a service to the community.

APPENDIX 1
Our building dates from 1927 and is in very poor condition, thus requiring ongoing maintenance that absorbs both the time and energy of the Trustees and drains our limited funds. We have thus embarked on an ambitious redevelopment project with the aim of providing a modern, efficient and sustainable building which will meet the needs of the local community. Progress within the reporting year is indicated above and work is currently on hold but will be resumed iffwhen funding becomes available
