To provide facilities and activities for education, recreation and leisure time and to contribute to improved health and wellbeing of the residents in the area.

To establish or secure a Community Centre and to maintain, manage and co-operate with any statutory authority in the maintenance and management of such Centre for activities promoted by the Charity in furtherance of the above objects. The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. Activities undertaken during the year to support these objectives. This year we have secured funding from an Erewash Borough Council Resilience Grant for new windows at the Community Centre. This in turn has gone someway to insulating the Hall and therefore making it feel warmer and lighter which in turn will hopefully have a positive effect on our energy bills. We continue to run the Community Pantry which is open on a Wednesday afternoon from 2pm- 3.30pm and then from 4.30pm-6pm and operates 50 weeks of the year. We continue to see an increase in the numbers of people attending as well as some regulars queuing for well over an hour before it opens, to ensure they can get the best bargains. The Community Café continues to be popular particularly with elders, vulnerable residents and those facing disadvantage, we do try and include healthy and non-meat meal options on the menu. We are constantly looking at ways to improve the Café and increase the number of customers. We have continued to grow the number of volunteers helping at the Centre and have had positive feedback about the difference and being involved in their community means to them, especially in respect of self-esteem, mental health and indeed one volunteer going onto get employment at a local school. We have continued to work with other statutory and voluntary organisations working in the area and have continued to look for grant funding to help keep the ￿ntre open and deliver activities to meet the objectives of the Charity. Achievements & Performance A number of community events were held throughout the year including a Christmas Fair where over 60 children were able to receive a free gift from Santa. We also hosted a Musical Bingo & Quiz night, Northern Soul & Motown Night and a Barn Dan￿ to encourage local residents to come into the Centre for an affordable, fun evening. The Centre has continued to provide a range of activities run andlor managed by the Centre. These include a play group, community pantry and café. We have also held a free Sports Workshop and free Music Workshop for children during the February half term holidays. The Centre has worked with other local Organisations and the Hall is hired weekly by Rainbows, Brownies, Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers. Additionally, we have a weekly Slimming World Group, a Baby and Toddler singing and movement group, a martial arts group and Live Life Better Derbyshire sessions running from the Centre. Local Organisations such as the Parish Council, Active Lives, South East Derbyshire Music Centre, the Labour Party, and local Schools all hire the Centre on a regular basis for meetings and events.

The Hall continues to be a popular cost-effective venue for local residents to hire children's parties with a private party hire most weekends. As always, we would like to thank the volunteers who have given their time and support during this year. We would not be able to operate without them. Finances The financial overview, income and expenditure information for the year is attached at Appendix 1 . As of 31st March 2025 the balan￿ (Bank account and cash held) totalled £85,906.48. The charity requires £6,500 to be held in reserves to cover costs should the charity close. The charity holds £77,582 in reserves at the year end. Priorities for the coming year Our priorities for the coming year are to: Continue to look for funding opportunities to replace BKH funding which has now ceased. Look for funding opportunities to replace the heating, lighting and café equipment, tables and chairs. Continue to improve play opportunities and equipment within the garden. Identify further funding for the Community Pantry. Identify ways to address emerging needs of residents with new activitieslgroups at the Centre. Review our Policies and procedures.
