Paul welcomed and thanked everyone for their attendance. Paul informed the group of what the AGM should achieve which consisted of filing last 



year’s AGM minutes and selecting new committee members. Craig said there was also a need to discuss governance and compliance as stated on the agenda. 

**Approval of Previous Meeting Minutes** – Reviewing minutes from the 2024 AGM, request that someone to second the motion to add to archive. (Chair) Debbie was happy to second the motion to file. 

**Presentation of Reports** – Includes financial reports (Treasurer), operational updates (Paul), and achievements over the past year (All trustees to present their opinion over the year ). 

Ian presented an overview of the accounts to March 25. The current account had £14853.68 and the savings account had £8309.47 giving an overall cash in the bank at £23163.15. This was an increased amount to the previous year of £5307.50. 

The main contributing factors to spending in this year were- utilities at £6778.81, Cleaning fees £2259.00, Equipment £3292.22 (mainly table and chair payments) and the flooring cost to main area at £6318.98. 

Debbie thanked Craig and Paul and Ian for the work during the year and expressed a want for the centre to keep growing. 

Craig thanked Paul for all his hard work and commitment to the centre and said how Paul embodied the spirit of community work with his volunteering work at Boulton Lane. Craig thanked Ian and expressed how difficult his job was re finance and the challenges faced by modern day banking. 

Laurie thanked everybody on the board and said she was happy to contribute her time further. 

Paul gave a overview of the practical improvements to the centre which included a demonstration of the fire alarm system. 

**Future Plans and Strategy** – Outlining upcoming initiatives, funding strategies and goals that have been agreed by sitting committee (Chair) 

Paul briefly spoke about 5 year goal to bring back grass roots football to the centre and that he still intends to talk to key football funders. 

Paul spoke about the frustration waiting for the council to agree changes requested to the centre re store room and office. 

Paul spoke about the need to change the storage space available in order to attract new groups. 

Paul spoke about the want to gain a Saturday group so that less “day use” requests were taken which historically has led to problems with cleaning and maintenance issues. 

**Review of Constitution and Governance** – Discussing any proposed amendments to governing documents.(Chair to deliver) (Secretary to prepare constitution and governing docs for presentation). 

Craig said that governing documents also needed to be reviewed for good practice, Paul said they wouldn’t need to as they had a constitution. Craig said this is a governing document and it was highly outdated and would need to be reviewed at some point as it no longer fit the charities needs and didn’t reflect the current practises the charity was working to, therefore not fit for use. Paul insisted that this be addressed another time possibly during a standard committee meeting. Craig suggested scanning 



the constitution and emailing to the board so they could review the document for scrutiny and make suggestions prior to a meeting. Craig said that the charities commission may have a model set of articles that were more suited to the charities needs that they may be able to adopt. This would give more clarity on roles and how business is carried out amongst committee meetings. Paul insisted that the document not leave the building as he had been informed by Sarah from the council that it had to stay. Craig said this was a public document and said the document would only be scanned and that board members would need a copy if they were to successfully execute their duties in any case. Ian said he had already had a copy. Craig said that although it was good practice to inform the local authority on any changes to a constitution, the association didn’t need the council’s permission to change it as this was something to be completed with the charities commission and the association committee members, whom the council has no jurisdiction over. Craig said he understood that the association had an agreement with the council regarding the building lease and that the core principals of what the community centre was about should not differ only the outdated governing document, that if read properly was completely impractical. Craig said that if the council did need to be consulted on changes then this itself would be stated in the governing documents and after reviewing it wasn’t. Craig also stated some of the outdated points in the constitution that weren’t relevant to the centre anymore like two tier management structures, members contributions and area specific membership. 

Paul said he would arrange a meeting with Sarah from the council to discuss in more detail. 

**Election of Office Bearers** – Voting in new trustees, committee members, or officers (Chair to support process one by one) 

All existing board members voted on block and in the same position (other than Alan) for the coming year. Craig to email Alan Lindsay to find out his decision as to whether he wanted to stay on as vice chair. No objections were raised. No new requests were made to become committee members. 

**Member Questions and Discussions** – Providing an opportunity for members to raise concerns or suggestions (Secretary to record for new board members to address). 

Rebekar requested that emails go out earlier re notice for AGM. Craig agreed and said all written notices had been out for over a month but he would ensure in future earlier email prompts went out too. 

Rebekar asked if fees were going up. Paul said this would be discussed at a later committee meeting and that this wasn’t currently relevant to an AGM. 

Debbie raised the issue of the asbestos signing in sheet that now had replaced the traditional signing in document. Debbie said that some people were reluctant to sign in as this may be perceived as a way to sign away rights. Craig said this was mandated by the local authority according to Paul. Craig said that because the building had asbestos in the structural make up, persons entering the building should be made aware of this. Craig said that this wasn’t to replace groups own method of tracking and maintaining registers for fire roll call etc. Craig said that any trades specifically, should be aware that the centre had asbestos as the likelihood of them 



coming into contact with this material was far higher if they were to be carrying out works that were materially or structurally invasive. Paul said that only one member of each group was required to sign the asbestos register and that that person should ensure all group members were made aware that the building does have asbestos but only potentially dangers if made airborne by carrying out maintenance work. **Any Other Business** – Addressing topics that require attention. (Sitting Chair to ask members and committee) 

No other business was raised. Chair brought meeting to a close. No dates were agreed for the next committee meeting other than the request for it to be on a Wednesday.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Boulton Lane Park Community Association I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 5 to 6. 

## **Respective responsibilities of the trustees and examiner** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act or 

- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
