Trustee Report Covering the period of April 2022 to March 2023 Charity No: 1098027 Company No: 4625467

Registered Address: Yorkshire Main Community Centre, Edlington Lane, Edlington, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, DN12 1AB. Office Phone Number 01709 252549

Objectives and Activities

ECO is governed by Memorandums and Articles or Association to deliver the aims and objectives of the organisation. The objects of ECO are to assist in the development of the capacity and skills of the beneficiaries, being the inhabitants of Edlington and other areas of Doncaster.

Public benefit status of the company

ECO only has charitable purposes which are for the benefit of the public, operating as a Charity with a board of trustees who report our activities and how we have conducted ourselves in line with the Charity Commission whilst meeting purposes under the Charities Act 2011. ECO’s charitable purposes include but are not exclusive of:

The Prevention of relief of poverty – in particular reference to the provision of food.
The advancement of education – in particular reference to community education, training and life-long learning.
The advancement of citizenship or community development – in particular reference to the promotion of volunteering and the promotion of the voluntary sector.

Achievement’s and Performance

ECO delivers a hub of community activities from our office at Yorkshire Main Community Centre ranging from social activities to one to one support and signposting.

Continuing to work through the cost of living, we have played an active role within the community over the last 12 months. The community centre has been bustling with groups and activities across our 7-day timetable and our dedicated team of heroes who don’t wear capes we have:

Supported 3747 individuals with emergency food parcels and visits to our pay as you feel community market, using our van to collect and distribute this food to people in need.
Distributed 3120 bags of shopping to 261 households with our community cupboard, supporting 412 people within these homes.
Distributed 507 free cleaning and hygiene packs to struggling households.
Distributed 387 packs of sanitary items to schools, community venues and individuals suffering from period poverty.
Supported children and adults to lift their spirits and promote positive wellbeing during periods of isolation with 482 activity packs and 41 face to face events.
Reduced the pressure on emergency service by offering 65 pairs of free slippers to prevent falls and 520 packs of free hearing aid batteries to ensure our elderly can communicate with essential services.

We would like to put our Community Choir An aCHOIRed Taste in the spotlight of this year’s report. Leading the choir is our Community Engagement Officer Lynn who gives up her free time to pull together a number of seasonal productions for our inhouse events. This year the choir has performed at all of our elderly dinners, our Christmas Market and have performed at St Leger Tenants Choice Awards 2022. The choir is also taking bookings for 2023.

As an already deprived community, residents wouldn’t have survived the ongoing struggles without our services and the funding we have secured to deliver our projects include:

Doncaster MBC (Well Doncaster Grants, Ward Members Flexible Budget, Anticipate & DCLT)
Neighbourly
South Yorkshire Community Foundation Small Grants
Aesseal Lord Lieutenants Fund
Groundworks & One Stop
BBC Children in Need
Police and Crime Commissioner, Violence Reduction Unit
The Williams Family Fund
The Brelms Trust

Please see attached breakdown for all funding received during the year.

We would like to thank all of our funders for their support as well as local community groups and businesses: St Johns Church, Orthodox Church, Yorkshire Main Motors, Edlington Community Shop, St Mary’s Primary School, Hill Top Primary School, Warmsworth Primary School, Sir Thomas Wharton Academy, Edlington Victoria Academy, Fareshare Yorkshire, Tesco Balby, Morrison’s Balby, IKEA Distribution Centre, DFS Doncaster and The Hygiene Bank Doncaster for their kind donations and contributions during another difficult 12 months.

Our manager Samantha continues to lead our charity, supported by our Community Engagement Officer Lynn, Community Cupboard Officer Dianne and our Centre Cleaner Julie. This year we also welcomed Georgia to the team as our part time Community Connector for Edlington.

Once again, this is a massive achievement for our small village and wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our donors, sponsors, funders, community groups and last but by no means least our volunteers who have been relentless in the delivery of our projects, working early mornings, late nights and weekends to support our operations from home and within the community centre. They have contributed over 6000 hours to help vulnerable people and support smaller community groups to provide services in other communities within Doncaster.

As we approach the end of the financial year we have new projects in the pipeline which include the re-launch of our Junior Citizens programme and working with Ambitions Unlimited to support young people to access positive services and raise local aspirations.

Reserves policy of the organisation

In order to make judgement of the amount of reserves Trustees have considered the risks in respect of expenditure, unrestricted income and where appropriate restricted income and where funds can only be realised by the disposal of a fixed asset. Also taken into consideration are any external identified potential major risks to income and expenditure during the year.

ECO is currently dependent on grant funding to sustain its activities, as earned income alone would not allow us to continue operating. This means that if there were to be a gap in funding it is likely that ECO would have to close down. To avoid closure if funding difficulties were to happen the ECO board has agreed to keep a certain level of financial reserves to ensure that main operations can continue for a period of 12 months.

The main concerns of the board are to ensure:

The staff can continue working, primarily to secure new funding that members / service users are supported to move onto other services. Currently some funding has been secured until July 2022 but if difficulties arise it has been calculated that reserves of £20,000 would be needed to continue to run for at least 12 months covering:

• £10,000 redundancies

£10,000 staffing

The level of reserves are calculated and monitored every 6 months by the board of Trustees.

Reference and Administrative details

ECO shall have a Management Committee comprising not less than five and not more than fifteen persons, made up as follows:

(a) up to five individual members elected by and from the membership at the Annual General Meeting;
(b) up to eight representatives of organisation members elected by and from the membership at the Annual General Meeting;

For the avoidance of doubt, Management Committee members are directors of the company within the meaning of company law, and charity trustees within the meaning of charity law.

Directors: Anthony Wormley Chair James Kelly Vice Chair Georgina Mullis Secretary Maureen Tennison Treasurer Catherine Siddall John Eaton Marie McGuire Margaret Adamson Diane Betts Andrew Chapman Carol Davies Geoff Chapman Staf members Samantha Siddall Project Manager Lynn Brookes Community Engagement Officer Dianne Vicarage Community Cupboard Officer Julie Richards Centre Cleaner Georgia Snape Community Connector
