BENCHILL COMMUNITY CENTRE
A review of our achievements and performance: How our activities delivered public benefit
Our organis3tion provides an open, user friendly, fully accessible, and all-inclusive community and
sports facility providing a wide range of services and activities for all sectors and ages to address the
needs as identified by the community. This includes: establishmentof new initiatives and programmes
to assist in social. financial, and economic inclusion; accessing funding to support new initiatives and
groups; networking sharing best practice, information and resources; developing the capacity of local
people to take an active role in their community, influence decision makers: volunteer development
and working in partnership with other community voluntary and statutory providers of community
services and activities. The Centre is a key source of skill and personal development also providing a
volunteer development programme with capacity building of individuals an integral element of the
Centre's philosophy. Centre staff, people of all ages and backgrounds have strongly contributed to
the regeneration of the area addressing financial inclusion, environmental sustainability, enterprise
development, education, health, unemployment, community safety and community cohesion. We
link our activities and programmes with both regional and national priorities ensuring that local people
have access to initiatives that will support their development and improving conditions of life.
Enabling disadvantaged people to reach their full potential and have access to the relevant support
mechanisms and agencies.
Looking back over the last year the Centre has again delivered its promises to the community, by
offering a wide range of activities and sep4ices. Due to funding issues we made the difficult decision
to close our After School Club at the end of March 2023, however by working in partnership
Wythenshawe Community Initiative this was started up again in September. Our Centre continues
to be a central focal point for new people moving into our community, giving them advice and
information about the area and what it has to offer new families choosing to live in Wythenshawe.
The Sensory Room remains popular and we continue to work with MCC to offer free sessions for
families with SEND members during school holidays. We have delivered Digital Inclusion sessions
from 6 different Centres across Wythenshawe reaching OLrt and supporting people to become
digitally included. We also offer a separate Job Club working alongside Wythenshawe Community
Housing Group's Real Opportunities team to support people back into work. We continue to run IT
sessions on a daily basis which range from absolute beginners up to Advanced ICDL all of our
sessions are now drop in. We continue to be registered BCS (British Computer Society) Test Centre
delivering ICDL qualifications at Levels 1-3. We run weekly Maths and English classes, targeting
users and volunteers who need to develop their entry level functional skills and are unable or
uncomfortable attending a college or other learning environmerbt. We have provided a Warm Space
through our Laugh & Lunch sessions twice a week offering a hot healthy lunch, warm drink5 and
activities including TV, games, arts, and crafts. These session5 were setup to elevate the strain on
families caused by the Cost-of-Living Crisis. The Trussell Trust food bank at the Centre continues to
offer support to those most in need.
This year we have introduced Multi Sports sessions for children and young people in partnership with
Aim4Hope and City in the Community three evening per week and have replaced als the panel on the
Astro Pitch. We have a new weekly Taekwon-Do session that started in September for all ages.
Mcr Thrive who provide physical and mental health services are based at the Centre along with
North West First Aid who offer First Aid training and this year we welcomed Great Manchester
Mental Health Living Well Ser4ice- all of these organisations do great work and are a very welcome
asset to not only the Centre but the area in general.

BENCHILL COMMUNITY CENTRE
This year we were lucky enough to be successful with funding from The National Lottery for salaries
for 3 years and MCC Supporting Communities for 2 years.
This is just a snippet of what goes on behind our doors and all of this would not be possible without
our dedicated staff and team of volunteers. The team would also like to thank our community and
partner5 for continuing to support the Centre and ensuring our offer is one of the best in
Wythenshawe.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit
when reviewing the Charivs aims and objectives, in planning future activities, and setting the policies
for the year.
Financial review
We were successful in receiving grants for:
Functional Skills, Job Club and Digital Inclusion
Salaries
Small community groups using the Centre
Community Cohesion Events
Investment powers and policy
Most of the Charity's funds are to be spent in the Short term so the opportunities for longer term
investment are limited. The Charity aims to maintain an adequate level of reserves to ensure it can
continue to provide the services of the Benchill Community Centre.
Reserves policy and going concern
The balance held in unrestricted reserves at 31" March 2024 was £313,287 of which £312,587 are free
reSe￿e5, after allowing for funds tied up in tangible fixed assets.
The Trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestrirted funds at a level which equates to
approximately three months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The Trustees consider that thi5
level will provide sufficient fund5 to respond to applications for grants and ensure that support and
governance costs are covered.
The Charity's main source of income is grants and fees. The Trustees consider that it Is appropriate to
prepare the accounts on a going concern basis and, consequently, the accounts do not include any
adjustments that would be necessary if these sources of income should cease.
Risk management
The Management Executive Committee of the Association has conducted a review of the major risks
to which the Charity is exposed, and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Internal
control risks are minimised by the implementation of authorisation procedures for all transactions and
projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety requirements of staff,
volunteers, and visitors to the Centre.
Plans for Future Periods
We will continue to develop our partnership workingwith local st3keholders and groups, including the
Wythenshawe Community Housing Group and Manchester City Council. We will ensure that our

BENCHILL COMMUNITY CENTRE
programmes and initiatives are connected to the wider priorities for the local area, Manchester, and
the region. We will continue to work closely with the Welfare Reform Team to tackle poverty and
skills development for those most at risk. Using referral processing to the agencies and services we
are already connected to ensuring that beneficiaries and service users are given the best
opportunities.
Developing relationships with networks to get additional support where required to ensure that the
work being delivered is UP to date and appropriate for the needs of the community. Developing the
groups in the community to enable them to be part of the wider delivery and addressing the needs of
the community. Enabling other organisations to connect into our initiatives and partnerships to work
together to meet joint aims and objectives to improve the offer to local people. Keeping those
relationships live and current with organisations such as Mcr Thrive, Forever Manchester, WCHG
Community Development and Resident Involvement teams to ensure that the local needs are met,
and initiatives are relevant to identified need.
We will look at re-vamping the Board of Trustees encouraging new people to join and reviewing the
Constitution to ensure that it is fit for purpose to carry the Centre into the ever-changing future.
We will also ensure that we continue to be part of the wider networking opportunities in the area
such as the Wythenshawe Forum Trust Board, The Health Strategy Steering Group for Wythenshawe
Community Housing Group, Manchester Work & skills, and Digit31 Inclusion Teams. Sitting on these
networking groups will ensure that the Centre is working in partnership and will encourage local
agencies to work together on local priorities surrounding our neighbourhood and connect these into
the Centre and its surrounding neighbourhoods.
