Pebbles Community Facilities CIC was incorporated to manage public facilities to a high accessible standard and reduce their reliance on public sector funding. It continues to manage the public conveniences on Dover seafront on a 7 year lease for Dover Town Council operating the attached enterprise space as a gift shop and cafe to offset the running costs of the conveniences. This provides a safe high-quality facility to seafront visitors, with onsite assistance to ensure a good experience of using the facilities whatever their needs. Locally made products are sold here, and public information for the community and visitors is available in the facilities and the kiosk. In Summer 2019 the kiosk continued to extend its operating hours during high season without external funding support. The kiosk hosted 2 charity fundraising days for Kent Air Ambulance and the Dover Outreach centre raising over 700.A visiting artist hired the kiosk for an evening event presenting his latest installation for the arts community. A regular motorbike evening held every Tuesday has become well known in the bike scene with 20-30 bikers attending most weeks. A mountain cyclist partnered with the kiosk to offer free cycle maintenance advice on a Saturday in September. White Cliffs Walking Festival used the kiosk as a base for 2 walks and again we were a checkpoint for the Clifftop Marathon and the Publicans Walk.A local club now meets monthly after hours in the kiosk for its committee meetings free of charge. Overall, the kiosk continues to grow in the eyes of the local community as a hub for all sorts of activities and wider groups have benefitted from its excellent location and facilities.The Service Level Agreement to oversee the management of a Dover Community centre has since been amended to provide just the cleaning as the delivery of the management contract helped the Charity to secure external funding for 2 staff posts. We are very proud of doing our self out of work as this could only happen if we had done our work well!The company continues to employ 2 permanent part time staff and up to 3 temporary seasonal staff.In January we were successful in attaining grant funding of 1100 towards some capital repairs to the premises and to deliver 2 new projects in 2020.
