Total outgoings amounted to £95,461 resulting in net surplus of £3,866 At the end of the year net total assets amounted to £178,186 The Carterton Community Centre continues to work hard with its finances whilst still providing opportunities to improve wellbeing and inclusivity, for local residents, via our community projects. We now offer a community room for smaller local organisations, such as the allotment group, to hold meetings free of charge. Any excess funds, this time, will be used to modernise and improve facilities within the centre itself. The centre delivers a service to local individuals, community groups and businesses as well as providing a venue for wedding receptions, training days, conferences, adult and child parties. We opened our café on a regular basis in March 2025 so we could offer a welcome hub to accommodate relocated residents of Carterton, from other countries in order to practice their newly learnt English skills and assist their integration into the wider community. These free coffee mornings are held every Thursday from 10.30am – 12.30pm for our local community to come together in a safe and welcoming environment. This project provides volunteering opportunities for young people with learning disabilities. The centre has also provided opportunities for the following groups to assemble and thus meet the requirements of the local community: Community Churches Counselling Services Exercise Classes Christmas Lantern Workshops Baby & Toddler sessions Youth Group (YOCO) Art & Craft workshops Facilities for home workers Music & dance groups Private Tutoring University of the Third Age Drama workshops & rehearsals Housing Association workshops Various Martial Art Groups Carterton Celebrates Health & wellbeing courses Mental Health Awareness Courses ESOL classes GARAS Careers advice & recruitment days This year we also held our first Free Family Fun Day during the summer holidays. This was a huge success with 500+ families attending the event. So we will definitely look to build on this for next year.
