TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT JUNE 23

OBJECTIVES OF THE CHARITY

Whiteley Community Association is a registered charity which was established on the 12 May 1997.

The primary responsibility of the charity is to manage and operate the Whiteley Community Centre for the benefit of the residents of Whiteley and the surrounding neighbourhood.

When initially set up the residential area of Whiteley was a small new build community, however over the years Whiteley has more than doubled in size and continues to grow with the development of Whiteley North currently being undertaken.

Whiteley now has a shopping centre, Tesco’s, Aldi, two hotels, many restaurants, cinema, numerous gyms, two primary schools, Doctors, Dentists and a large business park.

Our goal is to advance education and provide facilities in the interests of social welfare.

Our aim is to provide an environment and support service for people from the community who are motivated and enabled to develop and operate their own clubs, activities, and services for the benefit of local residents, and the wider community as a whole.

To enable us to do this we have two key Centre Managers and a team of Trustees, without whom the Centre would not be what it is today.

The Trustees meet on a regular basis to review the running of the Centre. These meetings are with the Centre Managers, Trustees, and key Centre users. Other interested parties are also invited to attend. General meetings are open to the public.

Whiteley Community Centre has two pre-schools who have provided community education services for many years, these consist of Whiteley Pre School and Buttercups Nursery School, both offering pre-school education and care for those aged from 2 years 6 months to age 5, term-time and 50 weeks of the year respectively.

In conjunction with Hope Church Whiteley we run Whiteley Minis, a weekly baby and toddler group. offering an opportunity for parents and their children to meet and interact socially. This has been running for many years and was first established when the Whiteley Church was located at the Centre.

We finance a very popular youth club which operates during term-time and can see numbers in excess of 25 attendees each week. This would not be possible without the superb support of Y Services who we enlist to run the youth club on behalf of the Centre.

We also host the Whiteley Computer Club, which is also funded by the Community Centre and provides an opportunity for young people to learn and develop IT skills for the future, it is also very popular with a long waiting list.

This facility is made possible by a dedicated team of volunteers, whos dedication involved in running the club is very much appreciated.

1[st] Whiteley Scouts, and 1[st] Whiteley Brownies both operate from the Centre, and we also host numerous regular hirers, such as dance groups, fitness classes, Weight Watchers, and yoga.

Whiteley Community Centre is also a popular birthday party venue, with most weekends booked up for events.

We also have hirers from the NHS, and local and central government, and serve as a polling station when necessary.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT JUNE 23

Our physical facilities are a large hall, garden, outdoor play equipment, 3 smaller meeting rooms, as well as a lounge area and kitchen. We have ample parking and are open all year round, except on bank holidays.

Financial support – Year ending June 2023

During the financial year spanning July 2022 – June 2023 we were very much still recovering from the significant impact of Covid 19. The biggest impact on the Centre being the loss of income from the preschools and casual hirers.

It was an uncertain year in respect of the impact of energy prices which at one point were forecasted to increase by 200%.

As the Centre is open all year round and hosts two pre-schools, energy costs are a significant expense.

We, as a committee were keen to mitigate additional costs and looked to cost save as and where we could.

We increased our hire fees to assist with the financial challenges.

We remain highly sensitive to the financial impact of rate increases on our Centre hirers and endeavour to be careful and measured when raising fees. A key consideration for us is ensuring that we maintain a high standard of provision for users and the community.

There continue to be many external factors influencing our finances.

Nevertheless, the underlying inflation rate is higher than anyone would like, and we continue to experience the impact of that in our cost base – from energy prices to equipment, materials, and staffing costs.

We recognised as a committee that we needed to replace the boiler, as we were experiencing periods of outage, and repairs were becoming costly and the equipment unreliable.

The boiler was the original unit installed when the Centre was built, and it was also increasingly cost ineffective. We explored various replacement options, and it was agreed to replace the boiler with a newer gas fired model.

Due to the boiler replacement our year ended with an overall loss. This was predicted, and expected as a necessary expenditure. The expectation long term is that this will make cost savings, especially as energy prices remain volatile.
