All our activities are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit.

We continue to see a growing interest in room hire, proving that there is still a real need for value-for- money accommodation, in a Iriendly and non-threatening ambience venue such as the Doddridge Centre offers. We are proud to be able to offer volunteering and student placement opportunities working closely with the University of Northampton for this purpose We have seen a growing number of dedicated volunteers over the last year with many committing to running their own groups and activities. This has meant that we have been able lo expand our offerings in relation to services and provide a variety of different support to meet the needs ofthe whole community. We have encouraged our volunteers to really think about what they would need or like to see in the centre, giving them the facilities to be able to offer these out to others who would benefit. We also created a role of a Community Outreach worker who was responsible for offering activities such as CV writing and interview skills. networking events, providing support to the community and working with external organisations to creale partnership working opportunities. We have been able to create a warm, welcoming community space for the whole communty to use, offering Wi-Fi, refreshments and a Safe space to sit and engage with others. Along with this, we have been able to offer a community wardrobe which allows for individuals and families to come to the centre, swap, donate or take clothing and shoes that they require, alleviating the financial pressure on many. Thanks to funding, we have also been able to offer food parcels to local families living in the NN5 area throughout the year assisting to relieve poverty and deprivation during the difficult times. Our groups and activities grew to include, seniors lunch club, Lego club, children's crafts, breakfast club, Rhyme-time, family craft sessions, monthly communty events and more, Infrastructure Support It is thanks to the wonderful funders mentioned below, thatwe have been able to offer these seNices, and these include Garfield Weston, Albert Hunt, West Northamptonshire Council and National Grid who all provided funding toward core costs allowing us to continue lo run the centre whilst the project work was undertaken. Without this funding, we would not have been able to continue to keep the building warm, cover additional staffing hours or continue our business-as-usual services. We have been able to provide a wide range of ServIS to the community and this is ever expanding as we continue to grow and meet the needs of local individuals and families. We have continued to provide infrastructure support and advice to small start-up groups where needed. This has included signposting to models for variou5 policies, support and advice in completing funding applications, contacts for further advice, and often the most valuable is the networking aspect with similar or like-minded organisations. Whilst this has obviously been reduced greatly, there still has been a need locally with in the community. There has been increased interest in the centre, which is expected to continue indefinitely, indeed we have reached full room occupancy with one offe set aside for ad-hoc per-session hire. Catering and equipment hire We continue to offer a form of catering service to groups using the centres, this includes our own hosted community events such our lunch clubs for senior citizens and toddlers, with outsid8 caterers for larger and private events where requested. We are offering an enhanced service in conjunction with various suppliers, dependant on needs, along with conference and meeting room equipment, including flip charts, a Multi-purpose DLP Projector, Laptop compLrter, MediaTV, mobile TV, video & DVD players, and Hearing Induction Loops in every room.

Wrth a large Victorian building coupled with fast increasing utiliiy costs we are seeking funding to repla many of the windows with double glazed unts and a more efficient way of healing our large hall, as we are ever mindful of reducing our costs and causing less damage to our environment. We have continued to engage in exploratory lalks with the landlord following their request to review the lease agr8ement and these have been fruitful. M8inlenance costs formed part ofthat discussion, as did purchase ofthe building and we continue to negotiate and liaise with the landlords regarding this with the hope of the Option Agreemenl being finalised imminently. Financial Revlew The trustees are encouraged to report a surplus for the year of £46,871 compared lo a deficit of £11,545 in the previous year.

These are where the donor has specified the purpose for which the money can be spent. On the 31st March 202.4, the total amount of restricted funds was £9.674 <2023.. £20,005). The Future During the year ended 31st March 2024 we have continued to move from strength to strength providing a variety of services and support to the community, aiming to meet their needs and help to reduce poverty and deprivation. With the rising costs of living, we have focused on providing support in relation to food poverty, warm spaces, clothing and providing support in relation to 8mployment and education. Our offerings continued lo grow wrth the success of numerous grant5 and donations which have allowed us to go above and beyond in our work with the community. We have become re-established as a communrty hub which meets the needs of not only individuals and families but also charities, voluntary groups and non-profit organisalions. We will continue to review our offer and service constantly to ensure it is consistent with our aims and articles and so that it is ethical but cost effective. We will continue to seek more income generation projects so that we can become more selF-supporting. This includes constant review of our hire rates so that they cover our costs but remain competitive. In recent yearswe have tried to keep prices lower, with everyone's rising costs in mind, and this has helped return mor8 bookings We are also at the early stages of looking at setting up a further arm of the charity that will generate income for the centre such as a good quality second hand goodslcharity shop of which research has shown there is a need for in the area. Research has also shown that this type of initiative can potentially return a good income for our charity, which will help with our costs and enhance the activities that we provide for the community, in line with, and augmenting our charitable aims. As always, we are keen to listen to the needs and wants of the local community ensuring that we are meeting their needs and providing services and support that they want to engage in. It is important that the community has an active and listened to voice within the centre and th8ir needs continue to be met by a variety of different methods. We are engaging with the community regarding the opportunity to purchase the building and will look to deliver a campaign with which they will feel valued and a key asset to the process. The Doddridge Centre is the heart of the communily and puts its centre users at the forefront of its offerings. As such, we are passionate about ensuring that the centre continues to be a safe, w81coming space for the whole community to utilise and benefrt from. We are hopefu5 of continuing to expand our services as per the request of the community and providing spaces for Ioc81 organisations to meet the needs of their own service users. We are particularly keen on expanding our partnership working, especially within the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector, allowing for more opportunities to be explored and developed over the coming years. The future looks much brighter overall, with a continuing awareness of our brand and seiS, however we remain aware of the continuing financial challenge of rising costs and increased competition for less grant funding.
