## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

As we reflect on another busy year at Newton Community Centre, we are filled with gratitude for the incredible people who make our work possible. our dedicated staff, passionate volunteers, and supportive community have been the driving force behind everything that we have achieved. 

Your commitment, time and generosity have allowed us to continue delivering vital services and creating opportunities that truly make a difference. every hour volunteers, every donation made, and every word of encouragement has helped us achieve more. 

This report is not just a record of our activities, it is a celebration of the collective effort that sustains our charity. Together we have faced challenges, embraced growth, and strengthened the bonds that make our community so special. 

Thank you for standing with us and for believing in the power of what we do. We look forward to building on this success and continuing to make a positive impact in the year ahead. 

In October 2024, Wargrave Big Local (WBL) became our tenants which meant that we could work much more in partnership with them to help them achieve their targets. Our Centre benefitted from additional funding from WBL to run additional courses such as British Sign Language and First Aid Courses and that partnership will run until end November 2025 when the WBL project will end. 

November saw our annual Christmas Fair welcome 17 stall holders and over 300 visitors to shop; use our wonderful cafe, listen to our friends from Wargrave Community Choir sing Christmas songs as well as a chance for the children to meet Santa. In November we were also delighted to be nominated at the St Helens Volunteer Awards in a number of categories, although we didn't win a prize we were so happy to be nominated and had a wonderful evening with out team and nominated volunteers celebrating the great work that happens across the borough.

## **Trustees Annual Report** 

December started with our Community Santa Project where our wonderful community donated gifts and treats so we could help 70 families locally with Christmas treats and over 500 Christmas gifts. We also had our annual Christmas breakfast in December where we welcomed 148 of the local community for bacon sandwishes and a continental selection - for a number of the attendees, this was the first time they had visited the Community Centre. 

In February we were able to appoint to a Caretaker position (thanks to funding from WBL) and we welcomed Linda to the team. This great addition has meant we are able to open later in the evening and every Saturday which has increased our income generation along with our capacity to serve our community. 

February was an especially exciting month as we learnt that we had been nominated for a King's Award for Voluntary Service. We welcomed representatives from the Lord Lieutenant of Merseyside to visit our centre and find out about all the wonderful work we do to support our community. 

We were pleased to be able to replace our external doors and install a video entry system thanks to funding secured from SIP Charity Foundation and Autotrader. 

We rely heavily on the marvellous support from our Volunteers so we were proud to host a Celebration Event on 29th April 2025 where every Volunteer was awarded a Certificate along with a glass of fizz! In April our staff team undertook Mental Health First Aid Training which has given them the skills to support vulnerable people at a much higher level within our Community. 

In May we celebrated VE80 with a wonderful tea party attended by 80 local residents who were entertained with rousing war time tunes from Wargrave Community Choir whilst eating delicious cakes and scones baked by one of our Secretary to the Board of Trustees. 

In June the staff team along with eight volunteers undertook a beginners course in British Sign Language and this has led to a further two courses for our Community. This has proved to be a very popular course and helping us to be a more inclusive organisation. 

The Summer Fair in June was attended by around 200 people, many of whom enjoyed the singers we had invited to entertain them. Unfortunately the rain stopped play earlier than we had hoped but a lovely day was still had by all. 

July was a busy month with the launch of Brushes and Brews - an evening with our Resident Artist, Naoise, hosting events of drawing along with a latte. it was also the 32nd year of our annual Playscheme where we welcomed (on average) 80 children per day for two weeks offering crafts, fun, sports and activities - all of which was offered free of charge. We can support this as a free provision due to fundraising and donations throughout the year. 

Our friends at Sport Development, Newton Rotary and Wargrave Community Choir raised funds for us so, along with some of our own fundraising, we could install a new boiler to keep us warm in the colder months. We also welcomed Certas Energy to the centre who sent a team of volunteers to spend a day with us painting our new Community Garden walls!

## **Trustees Annual Report** 

In September we were delighted and proud to welcome local dignitaries, volunteers and our community to the opening of our beautiful Community Garden made possible through funding from WBL as part of their legacy projects. The garden was officially opened by the Lord Lieutenant of Merseyside and this meant that our garden is now open for all of the community to enjoy. This will be my final report as Chair of Trustees, as my tenure comes to an end in March 2026. It has been an absolute privilege to lead this organisation since 2015. Over the years we have navigated challenges, celebrated meaningful successes, and continued to grow in impact and purpose. 

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Lisa Hulme and her team for their unwavering commitment and dedication to the charity, it shines through in everything they do. I also extend my heartfelt thanks to both current and former Trustees, whose support, wisdom, and encouragment have been invaluable to me throughout my time as Chair. 

As I step down, I do so with immense pride in all that we have accomplished together and great confidence in the organisation's future. I wish the incoming Chair, the Board and the entire team every success in the years ahead. May the charity coninue to thrive, inspire and make a difference to all who depend on it.
