RERORT OF THE TRUSTEES & UNAUDITED FINANCIALSTATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] OCTOBER 2024
The trustees who are also directors of the charitable company for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31[st] October 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK (FRS102) effective from 1/1/2019.
Objectives and aims
To promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Deal and Walmer in the county of Kent and the neighbourhood without distinction of sex or political, religious or other opinions by associations and inhabitants in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for said inhabitants.
To establish or to secure the establishment of a community centre and to maintain and manage or to co-operate with any local statutory authority in the maintenance of such a centre for activities promoted by the charitable company.
Charitable activities
The hiring out of the Richardson Hall has been particularly popular for dance and exercise classes. The Cleary Hall has attracted those interested in more sedate activities of a wider variety. The Hollingworth Hall has been less frequented but favoured by theatrical and musical groups.
The cafe continues to provide space for informal socialising and hot drinks and food, their users being mainly at the older end of the age range and regulars coming from shorter distances. Takings should provide an income stream towards the upkeep of the overall building.
The bar, trading through the subsidiary Spires Hospitality (Deal) Ltd, has remained busy as another space for informal socialising predominantly for those at the older end of the age range but attracting a large and more diverse user base during weekend live music events. The rent should provide an income to cover outgoings relating to the maintenance.
Finance and governance
Bills accumulated during the pandemic and onerous energy contracts have weighed heavily on the ability of the charity to operate the community centre effectively. Ill health and distance of abode has also meant that the available administrative resources of the trustees have been sub-optimal. Trustees were
