PELTON FELL cOMMU￿y PARTNERSHIP r. ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 202412025 Pelton Fell Community Partnership PFCP Annual report for 202412025 Chalr's Remarks This year has been another strong reminder of what Can be achieved when our community comes tog¢ther in partnersl)ip. Over the summer, 138 young children enjoyed trips that gave them memorabl¢ experiences they might not otherwis¢ have had. Alongside this, 222 packeAI lunch hampers were provided to help tsclde holiday hunger- ensurmg families felt supported at a time when costs can be al their highest. We brought the season to a close with a vibrant family fim day, celebrating not only our young people but also the resilience and spirit of Pelton Fell. These efforts go far beyond numbers. They represent moments ofjoy, connection, and relief for families who face daily pressures. They show what's possible when we pool resources and put the wellbeing of our community first. J would Inve to focus on how PFCP can reach the adults of the community ensuring sessions or events are fully utilised as a focus of 202512026. Looking abea(L the Centre's fvture will depend on us continuing to grow existing partnerships not only to deliver events, but also to supwrt the day-to-day running costs that keep our doors open. Wc also need to strengthen our governance by welcoming additional directors, as many administralive tasks are CU￿tlY delayed due to the absencc of a funded adminisirator role. There is a key risk due to the over reliance on the Secretary and this is something that needs to be considered - therefore its vital that members of the community engage and help with the Partnership in any way possible. Finally, I want to thank everyone - volunteers, partners, and supporters who made this year's achievements possiblc. Specifically, I would likc to highlight the considerable efforts of Donna Brown the Partnership's Lead Youth Worker With your continued involvement, Pelton F¢ll Community Partnership will remain a place where families can thrive and where community spirit can continue.

IV.2E F.InergenLy Pldnning In late November 2021, Storni "AThen" resulted in a power cut for part of the village which lasted for approximately 4 days and showed that an Emergency plaTJ should be develop¢d for the ar¢a. Work commenced on such a plan which was intended to be developed in ¢Owoperation witb the County Council's Emergency Planning Team and other or8anisations in the village. Unfortunatelyp due to lack of resouTce8 there has been no progress. IV.2F Fundraising Specific donation$ and other income classed &5 donations raised £ 11,498.80. all of which was for the Partnership'5 unrestricted use. However, the bulk of the fuDding was obtsined through being successful with applications to various different organI￿tiOnS for fundin8 projects. See I below Finanelal review Funding There has been success in obtsinin£ grant funding for activiti&3 to benefit the area. See ANNEX I below. Policy on "Th¢ Reserves" {included within "Designat¢d Funds"} The Parthership has a financial reserves policy in accordance with good practice. In March 2012 it was agreed that the r¢s¢rve fi]nd should ev¢ntswllyprovid¢ for the ¢08ts Of: (a) Staff redundancy costs as at March 2026: (b) Running costs (&88¢ntial) for Brockwell £ 7.265 Provided: 2.7% Board of Directo￿ Amiual Report for 202412025 - as approved on 17th September 2025 12 Centre for up to a maximum of 6 months: (c) Redecoration costs on a 5 year c￿le. £ 29,280 £2,120 Provided.. 00/0 Provided.. 0% There is a need for funds to be obtsined to increase this provisio "Designated Funds" he Reserves" from V.2 above Funds deposited by Bingo Club for its own use: (i) (ii) £ 195.C() £ 361.72 Thus, the overall"DeSi￿ated funds" available total¢d £ 556,72 as at 31" March 2025. Plans for the Future vI.I 202512026 The Partnership's strategic priorities Ten￿]n as: (i) The development of a funding strategy to ensure funds to ¢n&ble the nu)nin8 of the Brockwell Centrc and work on Community engagement and development. Th¢ provision of community development activities to give to: (ll) (a) (b) (c) More engagement and better cohesion. In4)roved Capacity and active citizensljipg and, Improved health, standard of educatio￿ and prn8pects of employment And so contribut¢ to the local cconomy, The Clean. Green and Safe Charter and as80CAated rn&tters' The development of other projecis to provide irnproven]ents in the local environment (iii) (a) (b) A8 regard8 the future. the UK Youth grant received initially in March 2023 will be provided for a further year (i.e. covering the period March 2024 to February 2026). Subsequently. a Children in Need grant which started in June 2023 and covers some other Centre costs in addition to youth staffing c08ts continues for a further year (i.e. till May 2026). Funders are more willing to assist with the cost of using the facilitie8 provided. Further fundin8 for activities is being t•ought, as will an increase in income fronL bire costs due in part to an increas¢ in charges and an increa8e in priva* hire of facilities at the Centre. As a resul¢ it is eX￿ted that unrestricted fimds will Increa￿ over this period and so result in improved viability. Vl.2 202612028 As noted immediately above, the fi]w￿la1 viability is expected to improve. How¥ver, as ststed in Section 11.4 above, "Community Directors" (effectively local residents) have to be in a Dwjority. It may well prove necessary to modify the current Articleslmemorandum of Association to ensure the continuation of the Partnership and the operation of the Centre. In 2025, the Pelton Fell area will be included in the Pelton ward of the County Council for electoral purposes. It appears possible and desirable thal it be included into an existing Ioc81 government parished area in that ward. vii Statement of Publle Benefit The Directors consider that they have Coll￿11ed with their duty as Charity Trustees to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Ch8Tity Commission in excrGisin8 their powers and duties.
