REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
Organisational structure
The trustees set out the general policy of the charity but its day to day affairs are overseen by
the Centre Manager.
OBJECTS
The objects of the charity are to maintain and mana9e The Bath House as a community centre
for the benefit of the inhabitants of St Matthews Constituency, Cambridge and the neighbourhood
without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions. by
associating together the inhabitants and th6 local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in
a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of the social welfare
for recreation and leisure time occupations with the object of improving the conditions of life for the
said Inhabitants, the association shall be non paty in politlcs and non sectsrian in religion.
DEVELOPMENTS, ACTIVITIESAND ACHIEVEMENTS
It is disappointing to note that the expectats.on of Lrfecraft taking over the lease of The Bath House
is still not complete. It should have been done from the end of September 2024 but over a year
later w8 Still wait for Cambridge City Council to complete the legal work
This has meant that the rent income and lease costs have had to remain 8S they were.
and the utility costs remain within this charity, all other costs for building maintenance
have been met by Lifecraft, The council and Lifecraft have still to confirm the annual rent.
In the year income reduced to £27,500 (£32,029} and expenditure reduced to £31,154 (£35,249).
Unrestricted funds now stand at £20,949.
It is genuinely hoped that the lease transfer will be completed by tha end of the current
financial year, and that the charty ¢an be wound up by 31st March 2026.
As ever, the trustees are grateful to the centre manager for his work in looking after the building.
This report was approved by the trustees on 14 January 2026 and signed on thelr behalf.
