Charities principle objectives
THE CHARITY'S OBJECTIVES ARE TO USE THE PROPERTY SITUATED IN TOTTERIDGE FOR THE GENERAL BENEFIT OF THE RESIDENTS OF TOTTERIDGE BY PROVIDING A FACILITY TO ENABLE:-
-
THE PROVISION OF A GENERAL MEETING PLACE FOR RESIDENTS
-
THE PROVISION OF FACILITIES FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES
-
THE PROVISION OF FACILITIES FOR HEALTH & FITNESS PURPOSES
-
TO PROMOTE COMMUNITY FELLOWSHIP
Summary of main activities for public benefit in support of charities principle objectives
During this period, the community centre was used by various groups. Centre usage fell into the following categories:
-
Social gatherings including private hires for parties, funeral services and general socialising principally from the centres public bar;
-
Sporting groups: Pool & Darts leagues and All England Bar Billiards;
-
Providers offering keep fit, martial arts, Tai Chi and Slimming programmes to the general public in addition to providing venue for local residents to gather and socialise.
Charitable activities vs trading activities
The community centres’ operating model is to use income generated via its principle trading activity of operating a members bar to pay for its general running costs and remuneration for staff who work both in support of the trading activity as well as in support of the charities main objectives.
The community centre typically only conducts fund raising activities for specific projects, and in this period, no such fund-raising projects were undertaken. The centre is currently included as a good cause in the local Wycombe Lottery. The centre continues to receive a small income from this as a chosen beneficiary by those who take part in the lottery. Any funds generated is detailed in the financial statements attached to this report.

Supervision
Before the formation of the community centre, the land and buildings were operated for approximately 50 years as a social members club. To preserve that heritage, the community centre operates a ‘members’ group. This is a group of people who join as stakeholders in the community centre, and as per the community centres articles of association operate similar to shareholders in a normal company. As such, this group has a deep working relationship with the centre and plays a vital role in its operation. Our members observe, scrutinise, assist and provide advice as well as volunteer for community activities.
Staffing & Management
During this period, the community centre had a varying pattern of employees as we navigated staff maternity and natural attrition. We held on balance to a staff base of 10 members with varying working patterns dependant on demand and by job function.
Management of the centre is done by the management group (or committee), which is made up of at least 1 trustee representative, 3 of our long-standing staff members and representatives from the community centres members group who join to provide the committee with views as expressed by the patrons of the centre. The centre manager meets with at least 1 trustee weekly, with a meeting with all centre staff occurring approximately quarterly. A formal AGM is held yearly.
Year in review
During this period the centre noted that users visiting the centre remained consistent across all the various activities which the centre provides, or hosts along side partners. The centres own fitness programme has combined with a partnership with a local charity(Memory Partners) who provide Tai-Chi café sessions held at the centre on Wednesdays and Thursdays, this provides a valuable service supporting older people making friends and keeping active.
We are pleased to also report that the return of local town social groups for Pool & Darts, and the continued partnership with the All England Bar Billiards association has grown with all groups making regular use of the centre’s main hall to host tournaments and gatherings. These combine to provide a range of opportunities for people of all ages to connect and socialise.
The centres general social provision has seen consistent attendances throughout the period with the centre holding benefit in the consolidation locally in the pub sector – with people visiting the centre and making use of the public bar, but also then taking advantage of the various other activities taking place at the centre.
Moreover, all activities have enjoyed good attendance.
4
Consistent attendance, supported by renovations made to the entre translates to revenues generated via the centre’s public bar, hall hires and other incomes in this period, showing steady growth in 24/25. In terms of outlook, we expect to report a softening in revenues in 25/26 – but not significant, reflecting a levelling out rather than a notable reduction.
Following the sad death of our long standing trustee Mary Jones at the beginning of 2024, the centre enacted a convention where we invite our locally elected councillor for Totteridge & Bowerdean to join the trustee group. Julia Wassel, County councillor for Totteridge Ward has taken the vacated trustee position in February 2024 and was confirmed to remain a permanent trustee for the 25/26 cycle at the centres Annual General Meeting held on December 15[th] 2025.

Machine income
The community centre hosts 4 gaming machines owned and maintained by Wycombe Coin LTD. All income and prizes are audited by Wycombe Coin or Essex Leisure every 2 weeks. The community centre receives 50% of the proceeds (profits).
1 of the gaming machines are category B3A machines which attract no machines games duty or VAT as they are straight lotteries. The remaining machines are category B or C machines and games duty at 20% is payable on the total profit. The community centre pays the full MGD on the profits, but retains only half.
Members Box 21 Raffle
The Box 21 lottery is a members-restricted 21c3 style lottery with a fixed odds of 1330/1 of winning the current jackpot amount.
Jackpot amounts are rolled over until a ‘Box’ reaches £1000. A second ‘box’ is opened and accrues. If a winning ticket is submitted the winner receives the jackpot in the box, in the case of the 1[st] box reaching £1000 they would win £1000, and the box would be emptied.
If both boxes reach £1000 and there has been no winner, Box 1 is subdivided into 10x£100 prizes. These are distributed individually to tickets which are picked randomly.
The Box 21 lottery is held every Sunday between 3 and 3:30 pm, and is held in the open under the full scrutiny of the members and patrons present.
The community centre does not receive a yield from the income of ticket sales, all proceeds are distributed to winners. The box 21 lottery is managed by the members, and is not reported as part of the centre’s statutory returns.
Assets
1. The community centre; land and buildings.
For the purpose of reporting, we do not list the land and buildings of the community centre as an asset because there would likely be constraints imposed should the scenario arise whereby the land/buildings are to be sold. These constraints would likely impose conditions as to where any monies could be spent.
The trustee’s view is any yield from a sale could only be distributed in 1 of 2 ways: 1) as a fund raising activity to relocate the current community centre to a new site, or 2) in the advent of a dissolvement of the charity: in which case yielded funds would be constrained for charitable purposes, most likely pursuant to the charities objectives (after any outstanding debts are paid)
- Fixture and fittings
All fixture and fittings that were directly bought by the centre were recorded as a purchase of a capital asset and depreciated accordingly. There was no purchase of such assets in this period.
Members
The community centre operates a membership group. Membership differs from an associated members organisation whereby members have a stake in the organisation such that in the event of a dissolvement, remaining funds after all outstanding debts have been paid are not divided amongst members.
The community centre is constituted as a Limited company by guarantee, and as such it has no shareholders with a direct stake. The community centre does not, as a result, pay dividends.

However, the members do have similar powers as shareholders in that they have the right to inspect, advise and vote on significant matters and/or changes to the centre’s articles of association (see by-laws and voting).
Statement of Guarantee
The members (Trustees/Directors) promise to contribute a sum not exceeding £10 (ten pounds) as may be demanded whilst serving as a Director (Trustee) and for twelve months thereafter.
Staff Pensions statement
The community centre operates a staff pension scheme operated by Nest Pensions.
