PELTON FELL COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP Cblldren's Play Area, Brocknvell Centre, Pelton Fell ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 202312024
Pelton Fell Community Partnership PFCP Annual report for 202312024 Chatr's Remarks As usual the year had it5 Ups and downs. A down was the need to use 3 substantlal proportlon of reserves to cover costs not met bv unrestricted funding. Ups were that thanks to the efforts of our Lead Youth Worker, Donna Brown, considerable funding has been received to maintaln existlng actlvltles and start new ones. Of partlcular importance was the commitment of 2 funders to provide some medium term grants (3 years from 2023 to 2026) towards the core costs of the Centre (utilities, building maintenance, staff etc.) In addition usage of the Centre increased substantlally (See Sectlon IVI This report sets out in more detall: the activitie5 takin8 place at the Centre; and, who has provlded the grant fundln8 to enable those activities to take place. Sectlon Vl of the report outllnes the Dlrectors, vlew of the sltuatlon In the medlum term The separate Independent ExamSnerfs Report and its accompanying Financlal Statement and Balance Sheet Indicate how the funding that the Partnership has been able to generate has been used. However, it is of considerable concern that the Partnership is so dependent on considerable external fundlng for Its activlties for the benefit of the residents of Pelton Fell. It is becomin8 clearer that future external fundlng wlll become harder to obtaln. As such, the Partnership will need to develop its own independent funds if the service5 that are avallable currently are to continue. To that end, it will be seekin8 the support of residents and others living, worklng and visitlng Pelton Fell to contrlbute to its charltable aims for the area and so help to continue the development of a successful and vibrant locality.

Plans for the Future 202412025 The Partnership's strategic priorities remain as: (i) The development of a funditig strdlegy to ensure fLllMls to enable the running of th¢ Bmckwell Centre and work on community engagcmcnt and developnTht. The pmvision of community development activities to give rise to; (li) (a) Ib) (c) More engagement and better cohesion" Improved capacity and active citizenship" Improved h¢&It standard of educatio and prospects of etllployn]ent and 80 contiibute to the local economy. The Clean, Green and Safe Charter and associated matters. The development of other projects to provide improvements in the local environment (iii) (a) (b) As regards the futswe, the UK Youth 8rant received initially in March 2023 will be provided for a further 2 years (i.e. ¢ov¢ring the period March 2024 to February 2026). Subsequently. a Cbildren in Need gr&nt which stsrted in June 2023 and covers some other Centre costs in addition to youth staffing costs continues for a further 2 ycar8 (i.c, till May 2026). Funders are more willing to assist with the cost of using the facilities provided. Furtber fundlng for activities is being sought, as will an Incre in income from hire costs due in part to an increase in charges and att increase in privat¢ hire of facilities at the Centre. As a result it is expected that unrestricted funds will increase over this period and so result in imprnved viability. Vl.2 202512027 AS noted immediately above, the financial viability is expected to improve, However, as staled in Section 11.4 above, '£ommunity Dire¢tors" (effectively local resldents) have to be in a majority. It may well prove necessary io Modify the Current Articleslmemorandum of AciatiOtt to ensure the continuation of the Parthership and the operation of th¢ Centre. In 2025, the Pelton Fell area will be included in the Pelton ward of the County Council for ¢ItOr81 purposes. It appears likely and desirable that it be included into an existing local government parithed area in that war Statement Ibf Public Benefit The D1CtorS consider that they have complied with their duty as Clwity TTUStees to have due regard to the guidancc on public benefit pubjished by the Charity Commission in exercising their werS and duties.
