ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
Charitable activities |
The Christian Centre |
2022 was very quiet within the Christian Centre and at the end of the year it was decided to close the Ice House Bookshop and dissolve that company. |
Activities - Donations and Changes |
The only activities undertaken in The Christian Centre were the NHS Blood Groups. |
The NHS Blood Donors |
The NHS blood donor sessions continued to take place during 2022, with 11 groups in total which were very well attended. Some days taking in up to 129 people. |
Tenants |
Elsewhere in the building the local community supporting companies and charities, Dial A Ride, Rexshi Ltd, First Steps Nursery, Grimsby Shoeboxes and One Way UK Ltd, all carried on their varied activities as usual. We had rent reviews and decided rather than raise the rents, to absorb the costs as part of the subsidized rent packages, so that all of the parties could continue to focus on their supporting activities. |
Grimsby Shoeboxes |
During the year 12 pallets and a van load of aid went out to Ukrainian refugees, including blankets, tinned food, candles, over the counter medicines, clothing, toiletries and nappies. They also supported an orphanage in Poland for displaced and disabled Ukrainian children including 150 shoeboxes and gift sets for their carers. |
In September 2022, Grimsby Shoeboxes became a registered charity |
A grand total of 10,079 shoeboxes and other support was sent through The Jacob's Well Appeal and Teams4U to Romania and Ukraine, with Grimsby Shoeboxes sending representatives over to Romania to hand out the boxes and visit the people. |
In our local area household items were sent to 104 children and families, along with 113 bags of Christmas presents. |
We received a lovely letter and report, thanking us for our support, as by subsidising their rent, they have the money, space and facilities to be able to pack and store everything needed. We also donated to them all the non Christian items remaining after the closure of The Ice House Bookshop. |
Grimsby Guides |
Two units of the Grimsby guides association continue to store their camping equipment and other items with us at subsidized rates. |
Biblelands |
Our quarterly support to Biblelands has continued with donations towards Christian Books. |
PA & NE Carr |
We have been pleased to continue our support of their highly valued ministry in the Lincolnshire villages. |
Oikas, Brigg |
In October we began a refurbishment of a premises for Oikas, a registered Christian group in Brigg. Their Christian focused shop, running for the good of the community, needed a full electrical upgrade on their premises on Wrawby Street. It was to help lower their running costs and improve the lighting and security. As the Ice House Bookshop was closing, we also donated all our remaining Christian stock to them to sell in their shop. |
Wells Community |
As part of the closing of The Ice House Bookshop, all new books were donated to the Wells Community in Scunthorpe which gives support for drug and alcohol addictions and runs a Christian bookshop, coffee shop and charity shop. |
Dial A Ride |
In June 2022, Dial A Ride had a window smashed by vandals on one of their vehicles. We paid for the repairs and got the banners printed to advertise for more volunteer drivers to come forward. Although still low on drivers, Dial A Ride managed to make 4,371 trips and carry 3,335 passengers throughout the year. |
Trustees' objectives for the premises |
Projects are being planned. |
As with the refurbishment all things take time. It will be marvellous to have the building full again and to return to the charitable works the Centre was set up for. We are initially looking at a five-year period to get where we need to be. We anticipate we will need to spend at least £500,000 on the refurbishment of the Centre. |
Achievements |
The closure of the ground floor gave the Trustees time to re-evaluate and discuss the future. Built in 1929 and having two years little use due to Covid, it was agreed that a full refurbishment of the property should be undertaken. |

Report of the Trustees |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2022 |
Ground Floor |
Work on the ground floor continues. Significantly, the stock remaining at The Ice House Bookshop was all donated or packed away and the area cleared. The walls have been replastered and repainted, with new coving and skirting boards. |
A new entrance way into the building has been the main build of the year. Creating a more secure entrance and exit, it is due to be completed early 2023 and will include new security lighting, cameras, key fob or badge recognition software, new postal area, new flooring and roller shutter door. |
First Floor |
As works continue on the Ground Floor, we have hired a permanent cleaner to keep on top of the First Floor. Most occupants have noticed the improved condition and the cleaning will be extended to include the new entrance way upwards. |
Top Floor |
No changes to the Top floor at the moment. |
It has been cleared of surplus material which has been accumulating since the Auditorium and Restaurant were closed over 20 years ago. |
New UPVC Double Glazed windows have replaced the old single glazed wooden windows. A new UPVC door to the roof has been fitted. |
The stage has been removed. |
The Roof |
No changes to the roof which was repaired after the high winds. A new guttering system has been installed - stopping the leaking into the auditorium. The flat roof has been sealed with a new type of floor sealant and guttering was installed on the lower room stopping all the pooling of the rain water. New Skylights have been installed. |
The roof will be the next project as the seals have worn causing water to ingress again. As we are looking into having solar panelling installed on the roof to power the building, the roof must be sealed and solid. Quotes are being found at the moment. |
FINANCIAL REVIEW |
Reserves policy |
The company's reserves are currently at a level to support more than one year's costs. The directors/trustee feel that this is adequate as the charity is well supported. |

FUTURE PLANS |
Looking Forward |
Development Plans for the Ground floor |
St Andrews Hospice |
Valuations have been done, visits had and we are now awaiting final confirmation that St Andrews Hospice will be joining us to take over the ground floor. They have initially shown an interest in a three part move, beginning with a sorting facility to be able to get the donations out to their shops quicker. We would hope to see them with us by the end of 2023. |
Development Plans for the First floor |
Grimsby Shoeboxes |
The first floor will have a change round, with the Grimsby Shoeboxes moving into the CAWL hall and the old TegCo offices which have already been refurbished and finished, there is also a new kitchen and toilet area for them to use. We are still awaiting this as the data processing centre was on hold over 2022. |
Data Processing Centre |
The lower area that Grimsby Shoeboxes currently occupy is in negotiation for a data processing centre. This was put on hold over 2022, but is due to recommence in May 2023. |
Top Floor |
Development Plans for the Top floor |
The Message Trust |
The Trustees have visited the Christian organization Message Trust Headquarters in Liverpool, and have held visits to The Ice House for the Message representatives. Negotiations are currently underway and appear promising. The floor will be refurbished to their requirements and will house a coffee shop. Again, this was put on hold during 2022, but is due to recommence in Summer 2023. |
Third Stairwell |
The plan is to open the third stairwell which has been closed permanently. To this end, the area has been cleared and is awaiting works to begin. |
Lift |
A specialist company has been engaged to evaluate the lift and have recommended a refurbishment rather than a new lift. Once the quotations are received, we will look at planning this into the maintenance and refurbishment schedule. |
The Christian Book Shop and The Christian Library |
The intention, as part of the refurbishment, is to relocate the bookshop and library which are currently on the ground floor up to the top floor under the overhang, with new windows being installed over-looking the green area opposite. |
Exterior Refurbishment |
The entire exterior of the building is in need of re-rendering, which is scheduled as part of the refurbishment of the property. Carparks will also be re- surfaced and re-lined. CCTV cameras will be upgraded to increase security as well as secondary internal doors to minimize heat loss. The fencing and flag poles will be repainted. |
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. |
