hdp them and us achieve a more just society.
Ensurlng our work delivers our aims
Each year we review our objectives and activities to ensure they continue to reflect our aims. We refer to
the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when carrying out this review and when
planning our future activities. The review helps us to ensure our aim, objeclives and activities remain
focused on our stated purposes.
Public Benefit Statement
Our primary purpose is to provide charitable organisations and community groups with suitable
accommodation, quality services and support such that it enables Ihem to carry oul their charitable worf(.
Inextricably linked to this purpose is the aim of contributing to the public good by promoting the work of
our resident agencies and regular user groups whenever possible, by offering straight fO￿ard booking
procedures, by welcoming user groups and their clients to our centre and by ensuring our facilities and
seNices meel their high expectations. All our activities are undertaken to further our charitable purposes
for the public benefit.
Our Services
Our model that has, once again, allowed us to be self-financing is room I building hire and office rental.
which has led holistically lo the development of a range of capacity building services for the wider
community and supporting the idea of a Community Hub During the year ended 31 March 2024. we
provided the following services.
Accommodation for charitable and community organisations {some free or subsidised}

a range of services, advice and guidance through off￿e users and partnership arrangements. offi￿ hirers
are encouraged lo give back to the community through their own business madel.
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 ServI￿S 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 off￿e 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.

Building Maintenance
We continue to maintain both sites to a high standard as funds allow and have a regular group of traders
who assist us in repairs. maintenance and scheduling of works We respond quickly to any repairs tasks
that become apparent, though we do have to prioritise repairs in terms of risk and importance to the
function of the centre.
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.

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 se￿i￿S, however
we remain aware of the continuing financial challenge of rising costs and increased competition for less
grant funding.
