Increased use of the Club House all year round, maximising its value as a community asset which will help to increase society cohesion and reduce loneliness and exclusion amongst the community. The venue will be actively advertised to ensure its benefits are available to all.

By offering more activities in BoA residents will not need to travel to enjoy them. This has been proved to be the case with adding Croquet to the sport offering. Fewer people travel to Bath for example.
There is potential to offer social activities to combat loneliness and social isolation in a comfortable environment.
