OBJECTS To promote the education and assistance of young persons through their leisure lime activities in order lo develop their physical. mental and spiritual capacities so that they may grow lo full malurily as individuals and members of society and that their ¢ondilions of life may be improved. To promote the benefit of the inhabilanls of Barnes and the neighbourhood thereof wilhoul distinctions of sex, sexual orienlalion, race or political, religious or other opinions by working together with the said inhabilanls, the local authority, voluntary and other organisalions in a common effort lo advance educalion and lo provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time with the object of impromng the conditions of life for the said inhabitants. The company's mission is lo promote and support a vibrant, happy and sustainable community in the Caslelnau eslale as part of the wider community of BaTnes. VALUES The Company's core values are.. listening lo those who live in the community working 'wilh' membeTS of the community and nol'forf them developing activities and reSoUrS that are locally owned and run helping those involved in the Proje¢l lo acquire new skills. knowledge and confidence working in partnership with other organisalions.
ACTIVITIES The objects are mel in two ways". 1. through the management of the Casleln8u Community Cenlre. a 1930$ building in Stillinglleet Road Barnes, held on a lease from Holy Trinity Church Barnes. which expired in March 2022. 2. through the employment of a staff team of eight people and the involvement of many volunteers lo promote community development, manage the Cenlre, to develop partnerships with other agencies in education, health, social welfare and youth and Children's work, and to njn specific commLJnf(y activities al the Centre. BUILDING MANAGEMENT The lolal cost of managing the Centre in the year was £105,329 12020121 £86,102). The increase is a result of repair and maintenance costs of £17,342 associated with tho bell lower and roofing repairs, much of which was covered by a generous grant from the Barnes Fund. The hire fees for the use of the Centre came in the main from Richmond Council's commlssion lo CCP lo run youth provision, from the Sunshine Nursery, and from Ihe Citizen's Advice Richrnond. There were also number of bookings for other activities. Total receipts for the use of the Centre through the year were £36,115 {2020121 £24,847). Hire fees have been adversely affected by the COVID reslri¢tions, particularly In the prior year. In addition lo managing the building and ils surrounds, the Company also administers. on behalf of the landlord Holy Trinity Church. the neiohbouring allolmenls that are let mostly lo local residents. COMIAUNITY ACTIVITIES The core programme of SeN1 to toddlers, children. young people and adults of 8118ges has further developed over the past year. New users Continue lo access the aclivilies. Our light geographical and professional linkage with, Lowther Primary S¢hool. Sunshine Day Nursery and the North Barnes office of Cilizens Advice (Richmond) contributes further to the strong sense of community on and around the Caslelnau Estate. With the d1Cl, day to d8y impact of Covid-19 having had far less effect on operations. we have enjoyed a year, when On again new people have accessed activities and we have continued lo develop and evolve our offer of services lo the Cal community. Improving and maintaining positive mental wellbeing continues lo sil 81 the core of everything that we do. We follow the NHS 'five steps to improving menlal wellbeing,, these being lo connect, be active. keep learning, give lo others and be mindful. The 1..1 support that was offered or sought during the year differed from person lo person. As has been the case over seveffil years, we continue to support people who are experiencing ongoing mental h&alth wellbeing challenges. A signifi¢8nl change in the last 18 months is one where we are encountering adults who we feel need the support of Adult Social Services, yet the individual fails lo meet the threshold lo reGeNe support. General, 1..1 contsct and what il means to people is very difficult lo surn up, however, we believe that il is the most important and trust defining activity that we undertake. For many people, we are a point of ¢onta¢t, their non-judgemenlal sounding board, their critical friend, their reassurance. their conslanl. What is discussad can range from something deeply personally distressing, through such challenges as self-confidence dips lo providing a listening ear with regards lo relalionship ch811enges and choices. Most of the lime. the benefit gained is that of lime spent with an active listener and a feeling of being heard and understood. During 1.1 lime we will often support people who are seeking lo pr¢orilise tasks or rfjmove hurdles lo completing a task. Often, simply sitting alongside someone whilst they make a call to the council, utilities company. hospital can be the difference between the call being made or left on a 'to do, list that makes the individual feel that they are failing. In May we launched a new weekly. after school JUnr Youlh Club session. The a¢livily is targeted al children in years 5 and 6 with the aim of introducing them to some of the activities that Can be a¢ssed during our full youth club offer (cooking, arts and crafts, team games, consul competitions elcl, whilst also providing the
children with an early opportunity lo build relationships with members of the youth team. so as lo further aid their transition lo becoming a full youth club membèr. Over the course of the period 01104121-31103r22. the Centre saw 532312020121 2721 atlendanees made by 529 {2020121 581 different people allending 401 12020121 $01 sessions. These figures do not include those people allending the temi time weekday morning café, wheTe customer numbers have been very slow lo recover to pre-covid levels. We remain cornmilled lo maintaining the café, and during the forthcoming year will be undertaking several different publicily campaigns lo further raise awareness of ils presence, as il is often Central to the first experience that many adult users have of the Cenlre. 11 also serves as a central point of inlergenerational blending, with many friendships being forged and developed. The Little Castles term time, thrice weekly (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday), parent and Child stay and play sessions received 2461 child and adult attendances from 203 different people over 97 sessions. In March, having reviewed the responsibilities of the SurvIsIg lead worker, we SucsSfullY recruited lo the new role of Parent Engagement Worf(er IPEWI, a role that we hope will provide greater proaclivily and wraparound Care lo support families. The Little Castles sessions remain our most socially blended aclivily, with chIldn being brought lo sessions by parents, grandparents, childminders, and nannies. Childrn and adults form relationships and develop support networks that will benefit both, with the session offering a range of play activities which include molorlphysical play, social play, constructive play and fantasy play. There are also themed arts and crafts aclivilies. The TTUStees remain grateful lo The Barnes Fund for the continued funding of the PEW. Our partnership wi(h Brick Buzz, an organisation committed lo the joys of Lego has grown lo become 2 twice weekly after school opportunity for children aged 6-10 years. The sessions provide children with a large choice of blocks to build with and there is always an inspirational model. As with previous themed clubs that we previously delivered, we have found that il is particularly beneficial lo those children wlh social anxiety and communication ¢hallenges. At the beginning of the year. we entered a pertod of negotiation regarding our role in providing commissioned youth provision on behalf of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. via Achieving for Children. In March we reached a verbal agreement th81 would see us delwer 2 years plus one performan¢e based optional year, beginning in April 2022. We have now received a fomial conlimiation of that agreement. The year has seen a fresh influx of younger children living locally on the estate and they have already started lo influence and shape the servi¢e via open and thoughtful dialogue with the Youth Team. We are particularly pleased with the increaso in youth allendance 11,474 allendancesl from 50 different young people attending 79 sessions. This allendance is particularly pleasing due lo the number of repeat atlendanGes being made by a regular group of local young people who are very much making their local youth club their own. We are also seeing young people accessing youth ¢lub earlier, followin9 our commitment to allow children to a¢sS as soon as they enteT Year 6 {providing a whole 12 months to sellle into youth club before Iran811ioning lo secondary s¢hool)- We have continued lo deliver 'JWalhs Club.

The 1.5-hour session saw an average of 6 children in altendance and was delivered al no cost by one of our Trustees, who has a passion and skills for engaging children in the subject. The children accessing the session all benefilled in different ways, with several children experiencing significant increased capabilities around the subject. As in previous years, the fixus on the needs of adults has been plentiful. Many of the sessions were delivered or augmented by a group of highly creative and committed volunteers, who have showcased pallern of developing sustainability in our a¢livilies. Provision for adults has included, the W61come Project, a weekly session for people wlh English as a second language who wish to improve their language skilts whilst making friendship and support conneclions.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT CCP received total grant income lo support community activities of £135,110 {2020121 £100,775).

The main risks are financial. repulalional and operational. The main financial r*sks are loss of significant funding or loss of major rental income and conlracls, or significant unbudgeted Costs. The reserves policy covers temporary shortfalls of funding, rents or
unantictpaled costs. Larger shortfalls would be covered by accelerated fundraislng. The repulatlon of the charity would be damaged by a fallure of safeguarding, major dislurt)ance or failure of governance. These risks are being managed by the Deputy Chair and Director in establishing and maintaining robust policies and procedures approved by Trustees and overseen by the Director and Chair. Policies and procedures are regularly reviewed and updated. During the year the following policies and procedures have been reviewed, updated and apwoved by Trustees.. Allegations, Confidenlialily, Tlme off In Lieu, Public Interest Disdosure (.Whislle Blowing), Equalily & Oiveisity and Ihe Resefves Policy. Operational risks include risks in managing the building and risks in providing appropriate services. These operational risks are managed by the Director subject lo oversight by the Chair and by Trustees CCP has insur8nce to provlde the norm81 protections against the r15ks associated with employment and building management. There is also risk associated with renewal of the lease around Ihe ten and rent. Negotiations are contlnulng with the landlord, Holy Trinity Church FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESERVES Th8 overall oul-turn for the year was a surplus of £30.568 {2020121 surplus of £4,080). As CCP began to emerge from Ile c.ovid efflergeney, Ihe iNcome from chBri18ble activities inereased by 8roufid £10K btsl so did the Gosls. As a result, net assets to be c8rrled forward were £144,159 {2020121 £113.591 }-Total Income was inflated by the one-off £25,000 Covid related grant from the Borough of Richmond which resulted In this welGome surplus. Th8 ReseNes PoliGy is to aim to hold six months costs or approximately £120,000 lo ensure Ihal the charity holds enough funds to be wound down solvent if ever necessary, to cover signrficant unplanned costs, and to cover any significant shortfall in funding or rental Income. Ajlhough nel assets were greater than the targel al year-end, there are greater than usual uncertainties in the coming year in tem)s of anliclpated legal fees and net renlal associated with the renegotiation of the lease, which makes this additional reserve tlmely.
