Employees
We retain 3 part time employees. A Centre Manager, an Office Manager and a Caretaker with cleaning duties. We also employee as necessary a gardener and maintenance person. In addition all other maintenance, inspection etc is carried out by hired professional.
Staff and Trustees also volunteer their services and on occasions additional volunteers are found for specific objectives when needed.
Staff Pay is reviewed every year and we aim to pay more that the minimum wage.
Property
The property is owned by the Church of England and we pay an annual rent of £1. At present this is paid up to to 2025. The charity does not own or lease any other property.
What the Charity Does
We hire out facilities which allow other groups to carry out activities.
At present we have a Nursery and Forest School during the day and this provides much needed nursery provision for the area. The areas the Nursery use are still available for use by the inhabitants of Portslade and the environs during weekend and evenings.
We are also seeking financial support for a social event each week for older or lonely people in the area who wish to attend.
Centre Users
There are a large number of groups that use the centre on a regular basis. These include groups for children, dancing groups, activities for those referred to as elderly, various religious groups, physical activities such as yoga and martial arts. Various group meetings, education activities and general bookings for family activities such as parties.
The building is suitable for people with particular needs including flat entries and a lift. We also have 3 additional toilets with special equipment.
Major maintenance includes the heating systems, electronics and fire safety, decorating and deep cleaning. In addition we have fitted a new kitchen at an initial cost of £9480:20 plus additional plumbing to convert the hot water system of about £3000:00 and some additional building work as well as wiring and decorating.
In addition it was necessary to replace the lightning conductor at a cost of £1432:80
Treasurers Comment
Although the account shows a loss of £13803:80 the additional improvements in the provision of a new kitchen and more efficient water heating system has cost in excess of £13,000:00 and the one off cost of the lightning conductor at £1432:80 more than accounts for this loss.
As treasurer I aim to retain a balance able to meet at least 3 months average expenses including salaries and our present balance meets this requirement.
