REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The charity exists to manage and let the Community Hall at 80 St John's Road, Isleworth, with the goal of advancing education and providing facilities for social welfare, recreation, and leisure. These activities aim to improve the quality of life for residents of Isleworth and its surrounding neighbourhoods. The charity renewed the lease on 80 St John's Road in 2018 for a period of 20 years.
The Charity is a company limited by guarantee governed by a Deed of Trust and Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 3 July 1997. The organisation remains politically neutral and non-sectarian.
Public benefit
During the year, the Centre remained a valued resource for community groups. The Trustees continued to promote the centre through local networks, Hounslow Council, Facebook and word-of-mouth resulting in an increase in new bookings from local groups.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
In 2024/5 financial year, the centre was booked for 2,929 hours by 30 individual groups including local charities; arts and craft groups; fitness and dance groups; wellbeing groups; baby and toddler groups; NHS clinics and Hounslow Council. This is an increase of 1,079 hours from 2022/3 which was 1,850 (63% increase in two years). The trustees estimate a footfall of 20,000 users in 2024/5 financial year. The NHS are the biggest group (31%), hosting multiple clinics throughout the week for respiratory rehabilitation on Mondays and Wednesdays and Dementia and anti-falls clinic for older people on Fridays. The breakdown of categories is as follows:
NHS (31%)
Fitness (20%) Health and Wellbeing (9%) Babies and Toddlers (9%) Arts and Crafts (7%) Leisure (4%) Church (7%) Education (11%) Ad hoc (2%)
The next biggest category is Fitness (20%) comprising of several small local businesses including Wu Shu Kwan, Challenge Bootcamp, Pilates, Tai Chi and Grounded Yoga.
Ad-hoc category includes one-off bookings such as BeFriend Charity, who host quarterly tea parties for their clients and befrienders to socialise and the NHS Blood Donor Bank, who run mobile clinics 5 times a year.
This year also saw the 35th Anniversary of the Tuesday Club! Over 40 people attend each week to socialise and make long lasting friends and it continues to be a popular group every week, for some it is the only outing they will have.
2024/5 also saw the reintroduction to Slimming World a very popular and supportive group averaging 40-50 people each week equipping them with healthier lifestyle choices.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The Charity reported a net surplus of £13,130 for the year (2024: net loss of £15,732). Total income rose significantly to £58,188 (2024: £43,554), driven by increased lettings income. Expenditure fell to £45,058 (2024: £59,286), partly due to a reduction in repair and renewal costs in 2024.
The majority of the income (£57,013) came from lettings of the community hall. Additional income of £1,175 was earned from bank interest. The primary costs incurred were for rent (£13,200), utilities (£14,282), and essential maintenance and repairs (£8,680). Depreciation charges were £1,604, and accountancy and governance costs totalled £4,286.
The Charity's total funds increased to £114,827 (2024: £101,697). Reserves remain sufficient to meet short- to medium-term obligations, including lease commitments and future infrastructure investments (e.g., alternate heating systems).
The Trustees have also reviewed the risk management framework to ensure the sustainability of operations amidst rising inflation and cost of living challenges.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
FUTURE PLANS
The Trustees will continue to actively market the Centre and review its operational efficiency. There is a proactive push to diversify our client groups to avoid direct competition with our existing groups, but also to proportionally represent the Isleworth community. The trustees are seeking for more young people groups and mental health services, such as counselling and group therapy. The trustees are also introducing an online booking system to make the process more streamlined for new and existing clients and ease the administrative burden for the trustees. The trustees are also introducing a new secure key lock system for one-off bookings and new clients in 2025. There is an over reliance on current key holders, particularly the trustees to open and close the centre for ad hoc bookings. The centre will also have clearer signage in the rooms as the footfall increases, so that community groups can use the centre facilities safely and with minimum disruption to their sessions. Cleaning and maintenance are to be improved and the trustees are in the process of updating the website and increase visibility of the centre on social media platforms. With the recruitment of new trustees, the board is confident that these changes will progress in 2025/6 financial year and continue to meet the Charity's ability to maintain a stable financial position and achieve its mission.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
There were several changes to the Trustee board during the year, with new appointments made to broaden the skills and community representation. The Trustees are ongoing with their recruitment to strengthen the board and increase capacity to allow for improvements needed to make the Centre more visible to Isleworth community.
