Achievements and performance
Section D
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
The use of the Community Centre, known as the Hilt, continues to support a wide range of community activities. There are a variety of users, events and private functions all of which improve year on year. The Centre is managed by a Centre Manager/Assistant Centre Manager and a Bookings Officer on a day to day basis supported by a team of volunteers. The Centre has operated within its forecast annual expenditure budget. Improvements and repairs are continual as is the need to plan for the future all of which is discussed at the bi-monthly Centre Management Committee meeting and implemented appropriately. Smart switching has been installed to the external wall lights enabling them to be programmed in accordance with the Hilt’s opening hours thereby saving on electricity usage. A major re-engineering of the Ground Source Heat Pump coupled with a review of general energy consumption has been led by the Chairman. The Chairman has also introduced enhanced room temperature and environment monitoring with a view to moving towards Net Zero carbon emissions in line with making significant cost savings over time. Part of this initiative has been to obtain proposals for the installation of solar panels on the roof coupled with battery storage to optimise use of the electricity generated.
The Hilt was set up as a ‘Warm Welcome’ venue which was part of the local authority initiative to support organisations to open their doors to provide a warm welcome for those struggling to heat their homes. This has been extended by the Centre Management team and welcomes anyone who would like to come along any Wednesday afternoon.
The Hilt runs something similar fortnightly on a Friday afternoon when they provide tea, coffee and cakes for a very small donation to anyone who would like to come along and meet socially and have a chat. The Social Committee has been working hard to put on events which the Community will enjoy. The Committee have seen a change in preferences for events which were popular and are looking into setting up new events. The most popular, at present, are quiz and curry nights and speakers/talks. The Hilt has reinstated Movie nights. A brand new event which was put on was a Dog Show. This was extremely popular and hopefully will there will be another event in the future.

Section E
Financial review
Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves
There is a designated Building and Equipment Reserve for the purposes of long term planned preventative maintenance and equipment replacement. Each year the financial resource transferred to the Reserve will be appropriate to a 10 year itemised financial forecast for such expenditure. In addition, a Capital Reserve fund has been established to enable future capital project improvements to the Community Centre. Sources of income to these reserves include the surplus of Centre lettings over operational costs, fundraising, grants and donations. The amount of transfer to these Reserves and this policy itself, will be reviewed annually at a meeting of Trustees.
