Chairman's Introduction
Welcome to the Lyppard Grange Community CentTe (Lyppard Hub) 202412025 Annual Report.
The last financial period continues to be a challenge as we have seen few business bookings Can￿lled and a general rise In costs
of our operation resulting in a loss for the end of year. The Hub has. nevertheless. increased footfall to its community-based
projects including the Community Café and Tea and support Dementia group. The determined staff team continue to work hard
to Increase offerings to ensure services are suitable and fit for purpose based on the changing needs of the local community.
THE BUILDING
The buildin& as èlways, is in good decorative order, and we continue to maintain it annually in line with our lease conditions.
Hall 2 roof continues to be an issue, resulting In the room belng unusable at times, It also has a loss in incorne due to thi5 ongoing
problem which has been around for many years The City Council have inditated they intend to revisit the issue if there is funding
available
Objectives and actlvltlès
Public benefit
The objectlves of the charity are to occupy and manage Lyppard Grange Community Centre, Worcester, for the use of the
inhabitants of the Warndon Parish of Worcester without distinction of political, religious, or other opinions including use for
meetings, lettures, and classes and for other forms of recreation and leisure time accupation with the object of improving the
tonditions of life for the said inhabitants. In doing so the organisation seeks to cooperate with other charities, voluntary bodies
and statutory alrthorities operèting in furtherance of the objects or similar charitable purposes and to Èxchange information and
advice with them. In doing so the Community Centre provides facilities in the interests of 50tial welfare for recreation and other
leisure time occupation with the Dbject of improving the conditions of life for the inhabitants of the area of benefit.
We remain focused in our mission to continue to be the fDcal point of the community, developing, implementing, and enabling
initiatives which will enrich the live5 of the local people.
Hlre Charges
The Board considered the matter of charges at a meeting, and it was agreed that a minor increase in hire charges was
appropriate as we move forward to re-build our business.
New User Groups
During the financial period, The Hub staff has encouraged several new groups including variou5 U3A activities, Say Aphasia,
Happy Steps Ballet on Saturday5 and additions to our own community fun projects by 3ddin8 Famlly Fun club to Dur Winter
activity program; an after-school activity Club for children aged 4-11 years to encourage 'play' through colder, wetter months.
Fifty-five group5 attend and use our premises on a regular basis. The Hub remained open for 73 hours per week.

forthe
Financial revlew
Prlncipal fundittg source5
Funding Is received during the year from Wor¢e5ter Clty Council 1£20,4901 and Warndon Parlsh Council 1£35.5(Ki). We are
grateful to Warndon Willages Parish Council for an Increase in their grant. Unfortunately, the Wor¢e5teT City Grant will be
reduced for the comlng year wlth subsequent years looking uncertaln.
Other Fundlng
Local Councillors, Warndon Parish Councll supported various community initiatives including Youth Club and Dementla support
sesslons and Warm Hub inltiatives with grants during the perlod totalling: £2200.
In addltlon to this wè also received support from Worcester Golf and Country Club of £1616 and one of our regular user groups,.
Lyppard 8rldge Club who donated £250.00 to support communlty activities.
Increases in Utilitie5, a further rise in National Llvlng wage and overall cost increases will see us tradlng at a loss for many year5,
something that we have not done in the last 15 yearsl
ReseTves poll¢y
The Trustees have in place a pollcy whereby the unrestricted fund5 not committed or invested In tangible fixed assets Ithe 'free
reserves'l held by the Charity should be a mlnimum of one half of it5 estimated annual expenditure which for the current year
would be £86,642 At this level, the management committee agree that short term the organlsation can sustaln losses. however
any significant change in grant funding would make our current financial plan difficult to achieve. The Trustees are pleased to
report that at present the free reseryes, which amount to £176,724.00 show a decrease over the previous flgure but 15 more than
the safety figure set. Trustees will continue to pursue opportunities to maintain the reserve5 above the requiTed level
Day to Day Management
The Trustees delegate day to day management to the Manager of the Hub and Deputy Manager in the Manager's
absence. Eleven further staff report to the manager who deliver communlty projects and support the day to running of the Hub.
The Manager and Staff do a magnlflcent lob In maintaining the standard of the bullding and the Tange of artlvities on offer.
Future plans
The Trustees believe that the Centre contlnues to fulfil, if not exceed, the objertives set by the Community Development
Manager of Worcester City Council and as described in the Service Level Agreement agreed between the CTty Council ènd
Trustees of Lyppard Grange Community Centre Limited on annual basls.
The mission of the Trustees is to provide quallty recreational and community faclllties for local inhabitants of èll ages and the
Trustees believe that optlmum community benefit is achieved by working In partnership with other bodies such as the Parish and
City councils. Close liaison with these authorities is, therefore, encouraged and members of both Councils are also Trustees.
The facllities are Ilmlted by the slze, nature, and location of the present buildlng and without major extension It Ss only possible
to provide additional pursuits and servlces by greater utilisation of the present hall and activtty rooms. Hall 2 is a continuing
burden due to the leaks present on wet days as we cannot predict when this will be permanently fixed.
We are grateful to Warndon Parish Council and Worcester City Council as they continue their support us. Prudent budgetln8
since 2009, will enable us to come through these troubled years, as long we focus on a complete recovery over the next years.
This will however depend on grant aid continuing at slgnlflcant levels.
Structurej governance and management
Governlng document
The charity is controlled by its governing docsjment, a deed of trLJSt, and constitutes 3 limlted companyi limited by guarantee, as
defined by the Companies Act 2006.

people are interested in joining the Trustees, they can apply to join the Board. in addition we approach local professional people,
from time to tlme, when vacancles ex15t. It has been our policy to try and get people with professional experience as a ba51s for

tojoin u5, if the person decides that they are interested the Board will vote at the next meeting on whether to appoint them.
