Achievements and performance

Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the financial period
The last year has been another busy one for us.
In October last year we became a charity registering with OSCR. We started the year
with 5 Trustees and
have joined us as co options.
We also have a small band of occasional volunteers helping out where needed.
The centre continues to be well used with a wide range of activities for all age groups,
& most weekends are busy with private lets.
Our Treasure
has been working hard at applying for grants on our behalf:
notably obtaining funding for replacing the main hall floor. Other successful applications
have funded the big event held in May-ANCBC via Foundation Scotland-The Scottish
Book Trust used for workshops; funding to help with utility costs, National Data Bank
Sim cards, work continues to try fund refurbishment of the toilets, update the sound
system & to pay a freelance Development Worker.
Our core volunteers are PVG assessed.
are First Aid & Basic Life
Support trained.
We have begun a partnership with Cloverglen activity centre for young people & adults
with special needs. They run a Community Soup social on a Monday in the Pavilion Hall
& help us with outside work & gardening.
Together with the Community Council a group has been working on replacing the
Playpark outside the hall. We have also begun to formulate a Local Place Plan.
Feedback collected from the big Fun Day event held in May inside & outside was
positive & encouraging & enables adjustments & improvements to be made for 2025
when we will be celebrating the 30th anniversary of the main hall.
Events held & run by the volunteers over the year include Arty Crafty kids
sessions; Adult Craft sessions; Family Race night & Family Prize bingo; Quiz night;
Halloween disco; Craft Fair with Coffee morning & Santa; new this year a summer
holiday club;
also runs a weekly Kids Lego club.

Details of any deficit

NA

Donated facilities and The building and grounds are owned by Dumfries & Galloway Council. However, services (if any) HCC are responsible for the day to day running and maintenance expenses of the facility.

APPENDIX 1

Other optional information

We maintain good working relationships with Dumfries & Galloway Council, the local Primary School & recently have developed links with Wheatley Builders.

The building is owned by Dumfries & Galloway Council, who keep it wind & watertight & are responsible for lighting & heating repairs. The car park has been white lined & extra disabled spaces included, the centre has been assessed for further Fire Safety measures to be put in place. With DGC permission we are able to use the green at the rear of the building for events etc.

Our greatest assets are our volunteers; without them there would be no viable community centre. Big thanks to each & everyone one of them who helps out. That being said we have recently been recruiting as you can never have enough of a good thing; we recently had a recruitment drive and are welcoming new members to committee and occasional volunteers at our AGM.
