CRAIG-Y-DON COMMUNITY CENTRE
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024
The Trustees present their report with the financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2024.
OBJECTS, ORGANISTION AND ACTIVITIES
The charity is established to promote the good and wellbeing of the inhabitants of Craigy-Don and the surrounding area by providing community facilities at affordable prices.
The community centre is available for hire by any individual or organisation in accordance with the standard hiring agreement and scale of charges adopted. The scale of charges is intended to be sufficient to generate enough income to result in a surplus available for future maintenance costs and the enhancement of the facilities.
The community centre has had another excellent year with more activities taking place. It is now running to at least 90% capacity for seven days a week. In addition to the provision of rooms for hire, the community centre provides for the operation of a playgroup and an after-school club, within the building.
Reserves Policy
Reserves are held at a level considered by the Trustees to be appropriate to fund the activities of the Charity and to part fund any new projects.
Risk Management
The major business, operational and general risks are reviewed by the Trustees on a regular basis to ensure that appropriate action may be taken, as necessary, in order to lessen the Charity’s exposure to risk.
