CHAIR REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
As we mark the end of another year, it gives us great pleasure lo look back on the successful
work the charity has accomplished and the number of service users whose lives have
improved because of accessing the charity's support. It is 52 years since the Community
Centre first opened ils doors lo the communily of Woodlands, Netherley and surrounding areas
2nd since this lime, we have seen generations of families walk Ihrough our doors and out
again with new-found confidence, increased self-esleem, skillslabilities and a sense of
belonging.
The charitable company has come a long way since its inception and it has gone through
many changes, expanding and decreasing its workforce, developing new and innovative
projects and ensuring those services most in need are prioritised when funding sources
become more difficult to attract.
It is difficult to overestimate the impact that the charity's work has on the lives of many people
in our community, client feedback questionnaires, evaluations and project outcomes over the
past twelve months suggests we are providing the services people want and need, services
that make a positive difference to service users, daily lives. l am delighted to report that the
trustee's annual review of activities indicates that Woodlands Community Centre services have
once again been successful in bringing about the desired outcomes for our service users whilst
al the same time ensuring the aims of the organisation are met.
The small staff tearn of three part time workers remains a challenge and with the loss of
valuable admin slafflvolunteers over the previous years il is more important than ever to
address the skills gaps within the organisalion to alleviate the manager's pressure and
workload, and as always ensuring conlinuily in meeting the charity's aims and objectives
supported by the board of iruslees Ihis will be aligned with a new staffing slrLJCture alongside
the development of a 5-year Funding Strategy.
The Organisation have already made progress with a 3-year Funding Application Approval
from The Henry Smith Foundation and continue to work vigorously with Fundraising efforts to
accomplish this 5-year plan.
Fundraising at ils best is always competitive and with the knowledge of Liverpool City Council
funding cuts and changes to funding i.e. Children, Youth & Community to be allocated to one
pol, combining the thought process into a single application might risk losing two potential
funding sources. However, if successful, il could result in a 5-year funding offer of unrestricted
income (fingers crossed). This will also enhance the charity's sustainability and give us a head
start in achieving our planned goals
Whatever the future holds, one non-negotiable factor is our volunteer base. Each volunteer
offers something unique, from valued members of our children and youth team lo event
organizers, kitchen technicians, bingo ￿llers, gardeners, and more.
Our users benefit from a well-molivated and engaged volunteer team, and our volunteers
deserve full recognition for their invaluable contributions. Without their support, the services we
provide and the assistance they give our small staff team would not have the same impact or
reach as many people in our communities.

WOODLANDS COMMUNITY CENTRE LIMITED
ST
CHAIR REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
On behalf of the Manager, myself, and fellow trustees, l extend our sin￿re thanks lo our
cohort of volunteers & Staff. Their selfless dedication and time make it possible for hundreds of
people to access the support they need to improve their lives. Additionally, I would like to
express our gratitude lo our funders, especially the MPAC, Liverpool City Council CRG, NRF,
Tudor Trust Foundation, John Moores FDundation, and The Henry Smith Charity- Their
generous financial assistance and support in various forms have been crucial to our
achievements.

Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at
transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the
debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a
market rale of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not
amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest
rate Method.
Derecog nition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or
are discharged or cancelled.
Taxation
Income and gains are exempt from taxation as they are received and applied for charitable
purposes only. The charitable company benefits from various exemptions from taxation
afforded by lax legislation and are not liable lo corporation tax on income or gains falling
within those exemptions.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make
judgements, estimates aiid a>sumptions aboal the carrying amount of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated
assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to
be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions
lo accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised
where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future
periods where the revision aftecls both rurrent and fulLire periods.
