WOODLANDS COMMUNITY CENTRE LIMITED
CHAIR REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025
As we close another chapter in the life of Woodlands Community Centre, it is with great pride
that we reflect on the achievements of the past year and the positive impact our charity
continues to have on the lives of our service users. Now in its 53rd year, the Centre remains a
vital hub for the communities of Woodlands, Netherley. and surrounding areas. Over the
decades, we have welcomed generations through our doors each leaving with renewed
confidence, enhanced self-esteem, valuable skills, and a stronger sense of belonging.
Since its inception, the charitable company has evolved significantly, adapting to char*ging
needs and circumstances. We've experienced shifts in staffing, developed innovative projects,
and remained committed to prioritising services for those most in need-especially as funding
becomes increasingly competitive.
It is difficult to overstate the impact of our work. Feedback from service users, project
evaluations, and outcome reports over the past twelve months confimi that our services
continue to rneet real needs and deliver meaningful change. The trustees, annual review
highlights that our programmes are not only achieving their intended outcomes but are also
aligned with the broader mission of the organisation.
Operating with a small team of three part-time stsff continues to present challenges,
particu18rly following the loss of key administrative support and volunteers in recent years.
Addressing these gaps remains a priority. With the backing of Ihe board of trustees, we are
working toward a revised staffing structure and the implementation of a comprehensive 5-year
Funding Strategy to ensure long-term sustain*bility and operational resilience.
We are pleased to report significant progress on this front. Not only did we secure a 3-year
funding approval from The Henry Smith Foundation, but we were also successful in obtaining a
5-year unrestricted grant from Liverpool City Council Youth & Community funding. The
applicalion was met with formal recognition for its quality, and this funding provides vital
financial flexibility. This achievement is a rnajor boost to our sustainability efforls and gives us
a strong foundation for delivering our long-term strategic plan.
Fundraising remains a competitive landscape, and while changes to local funding structures
such as the consolidation of Children, Youth & Community funding into a single pot-present
ongoing challenges, our recent success demonstrates our ability to navigate these shifts
effectively. We remain committed to pursuing further opportunities that will strengthen our
financial stability and expand our capacity to deliver.
One constant in our journey is the unwavering dedication of our volunteers. From youth
workers and event organisers to kitchen staff, bingo callers, and gardeners, each volunleer
brings something unique and invaluable. Their energy and commitment amplify the reach and
effectiveness of our services, and we are deeply grateful for their contributions.
On behalf of the Manager, myself, and Ihe Board of Trustees, l extend heartfelt thanks to our
volunteers and staff. Their tireless efforts enable hundreds of individuals to access the support
they need lo improve their lives. We also wish to express our sincere appreciation to our
funders including MPAC, HAF, Feeding Liverpool, LCVS Cif Funding, Liverpool City Council
Youth & Community, John Moores Foundation, and The Henry Smith Charity whose
generosity and belief in our mission have been instrumental to our success.
