Summary of the main activities undertaken for the benefit in relation to these objects

The Community Larder
This was started in response to the Covid outbreak in 2020 when the Parish
Emergency Plan was put in place. The Trust joined in relief work with the Parish
Emergency Committee.
The Larder is open to all.our records indicate that our users were local with a wide
spread of ages and a large proportion of working families.
A supply line with the Fareshare organisation is in place and we continue to collect
from M&S weekly. All funds are kept in a separate bank deposit account.
General Review.
The focus continues to be on community activity in line with our original Trust deed.
A key feature of the Community Centre site is the larger cricket field to the north and
the football pitch on the south side. The cricket club completed the building of their
new electronic score-box and store and the old score-box has been converted to a
multi-purpose catering facility with assistance from a grant from the E.C.B. The
cricket club will use this as part of their weekly training sessions as well as being
available for use by the Trust.
Close liaison is maintained with the sports clubs that use the facility.
St Erme Football Club continued to play regularly and other local clubs such as Truro
Youth FC and Truro Grasshoppers have played here. A football initiative for reception
age children - Trispen Tigers, is focussing on children in the village.
The cricket club now runs 3 teams and is in the top league division and runs weekly
training sessions for children and young people.
Regular hall hire has stabilised over the year, with users including fitness
organisations, parts ofthe NHS, Blood Donors and community groups and
organisations carrying out regular training sessions. There were bookings for private
parties and events.
We continue to allow discounts for local and charitable bodies. The Centre is used
for Parish Council Meetings and the Comwall Councillor's regular surgeries as well
as public consultation events. The Centre is the venue for the St Enne Fun Day
which took place in July.
The bar was open at weekends and there were a few entertainment events - a well
attended concert and a Halloween Night although less than in past years as we have
needed to review costs and attendan￿.
Bingo was well supported throughout the year and a good selection of prizes were
available for the pre Christmas bingo. There was an Easter egg hunt, the annual car
treasure hunt and quiz and a Bluebell walk at a local farm which the Trust joined in.
A new event this last year was the Scarecrow competition which raised funds for the
Christmas Lights. There was a making night and the items were set up all over the
village following a good response and this may be repeated.
All of the above were part of our cximmitment to community benefit.
The childrens, play park at Trencreek Park is maintained by the Trust.
The Trustees have continued to review operations and finan￿ because of the
changing economic climate.

In the longer tenm we would still like to add an indoor sports hall, additional changing
rooms and the possibility of acquiring futher land for a 3G pitch but in the light of
increasing costs and changing conditions, this is still deferred for the time being.
The need for installation electric vehicle charging points that are available to all has
been considered but no action is considered appropriate at present because of the
costs.
During the year, some of our policies were reviewed and some renewal of our
training for Trustees took pla￿.
Safeguarding was always on the agenda and remains a constant consideration.
Achievements and performance
It is good to see the regular hall hire and the way that the income has supported our
operations. The 10 % increase in hire fees. to help cover the energy costs rises in
recent years has helped and a similar uplift will be seen in April 2024
The need to support others in the village is still in focus and the hosting of the
Community Larder continues.
Financial report. year to 31.3.2024
Income:
The largest income contribution, as in previous years, has been the hire
of our hall. Bookings have been strong and the income increased to
£40827 (£37076 in the year 202212023). We still benefit from our
position in Mid-cornwall, our modem building and competitive pricing.
Our pricing was reviewed in early 2023 and an increase introduced to
keep up with the higher energy costs. Special rates are still offered to
charity events and local residents as well as the sports clubs that use
the facility.
Fund-raising has also made a good contribution with a net figure of
some £5275.
The Fireworks Night was a major part of this.
The restricted donations were for the Community Larder- £1225
The grants were: £2946 for Trencreek Park Childens, Play park, £3456
for the Fun Day store and £556 for the Christmas Lights 2023 Fund.
There was no contribution by Gift-aided profits from St Erme Playing
Fields Ltd this year (£12194 in 2022123). Although a profit of some £5k
was seen there was a need to deal with a VAT position.
Outgoings:
Utilities, mostly made up of the electricity costs - £18479, look lower than
last year when there was a large amount carried forward from 2021122
because of late billing by the previous supplier. The costs have been
closely monitored on a monthly basis and have been stable. A fixed rate

was obtained 2 years ago, just as all energy costs spiralled and this is
up for renewal in April 2024, when it is hoped to get a lower fixed rate.
There have also been some extra capital costs following the decision to
upgrade the old cricket score box to an extra catering facility, in
partnership with the Cricket Club who obtained grants to help with is.
There were , however, extra costs that evolved during the project. The
Trust will be able to use this facility to generate income.
Grants were received to cover Maintenan￿ at the Trencreek Park
Childrens'Play Park and the purchase of a new store for the Fun Day
Committee and in this case a further £671 is due.
Wages and salaries:
The Trust received advice from its accountants that in late 2022, the
salaries for all those involved in the catering and administration side,
carried out by St Erme Playing Fields Limited, should be paid initially by
the Trust and then invoiced back to the Ltd company. All the contracts
were moved to the Trust. At the end of the year, there were 2 permanent
employees, (1 full -time and 1 part-time), 10 employees in all, with the
remainder being on zero hours contracts and work only when needed.
The overall effect is that no trustees were paid out of trust funds.The net
result is that there is a net cost to the Trust of some £22000 in this year.
In the past this had always been covered by an invoice for
administration, last seen in 2021122 - £6884.
The entries have been shown separately for this year.
Summary.
The deficit for the year is £11867 on unrestricted funds, can be explained
by the change in the salaries position and the extra costs of some
building improvements. Further increases in hire charges have been
agreed and there will be strong management of the energy review,
aiming for a reduction. It is expected that a gift-aided profit will also be
received from the Ltd Company as activity has been similar to last year.
