Structure, Governance and Management Governing Document

Debenham Village Hall and Playing Field Trust (“Company/Trust”) is a charitable company limited by guarantee and was incorporated on 20 February 2003. It is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Company was established, following a review of the legal structure, to take over the activities of the unincorporated charity, Debenham Village Hall Playing Field Trust (registered charity number 304742) established under a scheme approved by the Charity Commissioners under seal dated 4 July 1988. The charity owns and runs the Debenham Leisure and Community Centre for the benefit of the inhabitants of the Parish of Debenham, Suffolk and its neighbourhood.

Appointment, induction and training of trustees

The overall governance and financial responsibility is vested in the Trustees, as set out on page1. The Trustees are also Directors of the charity for the purposes of Company law. In accordance with the memorandum and articles of association, the Trustees retiring by rotation at the 2023 Annual General Meeting are Phil Jones and Martin Durie who, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

The majority of the current Trustees have all been involved with the organisation for a number of years and are familiar with the practical work of the charity. Three new Trustees joined the Trust during the reported period bringing with them a wide and ranging set of skills and experience which will be of great benefit to the Trust. We welcome any member of the Community to join our Trust Board. If you are interested then please contact our chairman, who will be pleased to share with you details of the Charity and the context within which it operates, including:

Debenham Village Hall and Playing Field Trust Company Limited by Guarantee Trustee's Annual Report (Incorporating the Trustee's Report) (continued) Year ended 28 February 2023

Operational and Financial Overview

Debenham Sports & Leisure (DS&L) - the trading name of the Trust - was pleased to see some normality return in all areas of the business, following 2 years of uncertainty due to the Covid Pandemic. With that behind us we have seen levels of service in our fitness and activity delivery, reach pre-pandemic levels and beyond. As reported in our 2021/22 annual report the Community Centre refurbishment continued into our 2022/23 financial year and only became operational with limited access in October 2022. Steady progress was made, and it became fully functional soon after. We were also pleased to include the refurbishment of the toilet facilities within the Community Centre as a separate project with grants being made available from several sources mentioned later in this report.

Our GP referral programme has now been well established, and we are receiving a good number of patients who need rehabilitation for several conditions or following operations. Late in this financial year this service was widened to Cardiac rehabilitation as our Fitness Instructor qualified to deliver this. All these programmes provide a local service for our community and save on travel to Stowmarket where the next nearest facility is available. One of the testimonials from a very happy customer.

Below you will see pie charts setting out our main income streams along with our main expenditure. The graphs show a continued return of activities throughout the financial year. Our biggest concern for 2022/23 was the increase in utility costs. Electricity increased threefold and pellets for our Biomass boiler saw similar increases. We appreciated the Government help meeting some of these costs and Power for Change both providing grants over the period. However, for 2023/24 these costs will need to be met from our own resources which will be challenging as we go forward.

Financial information is covered in more detail later in the audited accounts.

Table 2

Table 2 Shows the challenges we face for 2023/24. The increases in expenditure are as a direct result of energy cost, electricity (+152%), Wood Pellets (+81.23%) and Wages (+36.62%). Bar purchases are in line with the income increases as set out in table 1. Wage increases were related to the National Living Wage (NLW) and National Minimum Wage (NMW) in addition to employing additional staff, particularly to offer our new food offer.

Projects 2022/23

We completed the refurbishment of the Community Centre and made successful bids to undertake further refurbishment to include the toilets in the Community Centre. Our Fire and Intruder alarm system was replaced, and CCTV was installed to cover the whole complex. We are carrying forward outstanding projects to 2023/24 to include refurbishment of toilets and changing facilities in the Sports Centre and a separate project to provide Disabled access to our upstairs facilities, including the Fitness Suite. We have also started a funding bid for the installation of solar panels across the Sports hall roof and hope to complete this by end of the current financial year, building on our objective to reduce our Carbon footprint.

2022/23 has been another challenging year and thanks to the dedication of the Trustees, Staff, Volunteers and loyal customers we have ended the financial year on a positive note.

So, a big thank you to all those people and businesses mentioned throughout this report, we would not be able to do it without your support.
