WOODLANDS COMMUNITY CENTRE LIMITED
CHAIR REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2026
As we look back on the past year, it is with great pride that I present the Chairs Report for
2026. Now in its 54th year, Woodlands Community Centre continues to be a trusted and
welcoming anchor for the communities of Woodlands, Netherley. and the surrounding
neighbourhoods. Each year brings new challenges and new opportunities, yet the Centre
remains a place where people of all ages find connection, comfort, and the chance to grow in
confidence and wellbeing.
The wider environment in which we operate has continued to shift. Rising living costs,
increased pressure on families, and growing demand for safe, inclusive spaces have shaped
much of our work. Despite these pressures, the Centre has remained steady and responsive,
adapting our programmes to ensure that residents continue to receive the support they need.
Our warm hub provision, free refreshments, weekly community meals, children & youth
programmes and expanded wellbeing activities have become essential lifelines for many local
families and older residents.
This year also marked a significant milestone in our long-term sustainability. Alongside
continued support from valued funders such as Liverpool City Council -youth & Community-
this achievement has provided a level of stability rarely afforded to small grassroots
organisations and gives our funding strategy a strong and confident foundation. Combined with
the ongoing support of The Henry Smith Charity, Garfield Western, whose flexibility enabled us
to maintain essential leadership at a crucial moment, we are now able to plan with greater
assurance and clarity.
Our programmes have continued to evolve in response to rising need. We strengthened
partnerships to deliver early intervention 2nd wellbeing support for both adults and young
people, expanded our youth offer through creative and physical activities, and deepened
collaboration with local organisations to widen access and reduce duplication. These
developments have helped us reach more residents, offer more targeted support, and ensure
that our services remain relevant and inclusive.
Volunteer engagement remains one of our greatest strengths. Many of our volunteers
particularly older residents have continued to give their time generously, helping us deliver
activities, meals, events, and practical support. Their contribution is woven into the fabric of the
Centre and amplifies the reach and impact of everything we do.
The Trustees extend heartfelt thanks to our staff, volunteers, partners, and funders-including
Liverpool City Council Youth & Community, HAF, Fords Liverpool, Feeding Liverpool, MPAC,
LCVS, John Moores Foundation, Merseyside Police, NRF, Garfield Weslern and The Henry
Smith Charity. Their support ensures we continue to deliver essential, inclusive services for our
community.
Woodlands Community Centre enters 2026 with strengthened partnerships, a stable building,
and a deeply valued programme of activities. The Trustees remain committed to securing
sustainable funding, expanding staffing capacity, and ensuring that our Centre continues to be
a safe, welcoming, and transformative space for all.

TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2026
The Trustees are pleased to present their annual report for the year ended 31st March
2026.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing
document, the Charities Act 2011, and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP)
applicable to charities preparing their accounts under the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), as amended for accounting periods
commencing on or after 1st January 2019.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Woodlands Community Centre exists to promote the wellbeing of residents in the
Woodlands Estate and surrounding neighbourhoods without distinction of gender,
background, belief, or circumstance. We do this by working collaboratively with local
authorities, voluntary organisations, and residents to advance education and provide
inclusive facililies for recrealion, social welfare, and leisure. Our aim is simple.. to improve
lives and strengthen community bonds.
In line with Charity Commission guidance on Public Benefit, the Trustees have ensured that
all activities undertaken this year continue to meet these requirements and serve the wider
public interest.
Throughout 2025-26, we remained committed to our core aims by strengthening
community engagement, widening access to inclusive activities, and responding to rising
need. We continued to secure funding aligned with our charitable objectives, generated
income through raffles, low-cost activity fees, room hires, and community use, and
expanded opportunities for learning, wellbeing, and social connection.
Our revised funding strategy, supported by the new five-year unrestricted grant from
Liverpool City Council Youth & Community, has provided a strong foundation for long-temi
sustainability and operational resilience.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
As a small grassroots charity, we pride ourselves on being responsive, inclusive, and
deeply embedded in the lives of our local residents. This year, we continued to offer free or
low-cost universal services tailored to the needs of children, young people, families. and
older adults. Our programmes included after-school clubs, youth wellbeing sessions.
holiday activities, daytime groups for older residents, digital access support, and targeted
interventions for those facing disadvantage or risk.
We expanded our wellbeing offer significantly, launching new adult and youth programmes
in partnership with local organisations. These sessions provided early intervention,
emotional support, and safe spaces for young people navigating increasingly complex
challenges. Adults benefited from meditation, relaxation, creative wellbeing, and social
connection activities that reduced isolation and improved mental health.
Our warm hub provision remained essential. Free tea, coffee, biscuits, and weekly
community meals ensured that no resident was left without comfort or nourishment.
Families facing rising utility costs and food insecurity relied on the Centre as a safe,
welcoming space.

Strengthened Home Life & Practical Support
The Centre's supportive environment extends beyond activities. Staff provided practical
help to residents facing challenges.
"When my washing machine broke, I thought I'd have to carry all my laundry on the bus.
Instead, the staff offered me use of the Centre's facilities and even arranged for someone to
come out and fix it."
Reduced Poverty Through Access to Food, Skills & Support
Holiday provision, Meet, Eat & Chat lunches, Feeding Liverpool partnerships, and cookery
programmes ensured residents had access to nutritious meals and food education.
Increased Confidence & Resilience in Young People
Youth programtnes aligned wilh the National Youth Strategy delivered safe, structured
spaces for personal development.
A Community That Transforms Lives
"This community has given me companionship, confidence. and purpose... I feel more alive
and hopeful than I have in years."
This lived experience reinforces the outcomes achieved through the grant: improved
wellbeing, increased social connection, strengthened home life. and reduced poverty.
Partnerships and Outreach
Partnership working remained central to our success. We collaborated with Speke Training
& Education Centre, New Horizons CIC, Valley Community Food Hub, Lee Valley
Pensioners, ACE Place, Bay Tree Cookery Academy, Pathways to Work, local schools. and
other community organisations. These partnerships broadened our reach, enhanced our
wellbeing offer, and ensured cohesive support for residents.

supporting both our own beneficiaries and a fellow CIC.
Risks and Challenges
Growing economic pressures have intensified community need, particularly among families
facing food insecurity and rising utility costs. Demand for crisis intervention, warm spaces,
and wellbeing support has increased significantly.
Staffing limitations remain a challenge, with only three part-time staff delivering a wide
range of services. The need for a Youth & Play Coordinalor is increasingly clear lo ensure
consistent, high-quality youth delivery. Volunteer engagement remains strong, but benefit-
related restrictions conlinue to limit availability.
Despite Ihese challenges, strengthened partnerships and long-tenn funding have enabled
us to respond effectively and maintain high-quality services.

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions about 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
to 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 affects both current and future periods.

WOODLANDS COMMUNITY CENTRE LIMITED
CHAIR REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2026
As we look back on the past year, it is with great pride that I present the Chairs Report for
2026. Now in its 54th year, Woodlands Community Centre continues to be a trusted and
welcoming anchor for the communities of Woodlands, Netherley. and the surrounding
neighbourhoods. Each year brings new challenges and new opportunities, yet the Centre
remains a place where people of all ages find connection, comfort, and the chance to grow in
confidence and wellbeing.
The wider environment in which we operate has continued to shift. Rising living costs,
increased pressure on families, and growing demand for safe, inclusive spaces have shaped
much of our work. Despite these pressures, the Centre has remained steady and responsive,
adapting our programmes to ensure that residents continue to receive the support they need.
Our warm hub provision, free refreshments, weekly community meals, children & youth
programmes and expanded wellbeing activities have become essential lifelines for many local
families and older residents.
This year also marked a significant milestone in our long-term sustainability. Alongside
continued support from valued funders such as Liverpool City Council -youth & Community-
this achievement has provided a level of stability rarely afforded to small grassroots
organisations and gives our funding strategy a strong and confident foundation. Combined with
the ongoing support of The Henry Smith Charity, Garfield Western, whose flexibility enabled us
to maintain essential leadership at a crucial moment, we are now able to plan with greater
assurance and clarity.
Our programmes have continued to evolve in response to rising need. We strengthened
partnerships to deliver early intervention 2nd wellbeing support for both adults and young
people, expanded our youth offer through creative and physical activities, and deepened
collaboration with local organisations to widen access and reduce duplication. These
developments have helped us reach more residents, offer more targeted support, and ensure
that our services remain relevant and inclusive.
Volunteer engagement remains one of our greatest strengths. Many of our volunteers
particularly older residents have continued to give their time generously, helping us deliver
activities, meals, events, and practical support. Their contribution is woven into the fabric of the
Centre and amplifies the reach and impact of everything we do.
The Trustees extend heartfelt thanks to our staff, volunteers, partners, and funders-including
Liverpool City Council Youth & Community, HAF, Fords Liverpool, Feeding Liverpool, MPAC,
LCVS, John Moores Foundation, Merseyside Police, NRF, Garfield Weslern and The Henry
Smith Charity. Their support ensures we continue to deliver essential, inclusive services for our
community.
Woodlands Community Centre enters 2026 with strengthened partnerships, a stable building,
and a deeply valued programme of activities. The Trustees remain committed to securing
sustainable funding, expanding staffing capacity, and ensuring that our Centre continues to be
a safe, welcoming, and transformative space for all.

TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2026
The Trustees are pleased to present their annual report for the year ended 31st March
2026.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing
document, the Charities Act 2011, and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP)
applicable to charities preparing their accounts under the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), as amended for accounting periods
commencing on or after 1st January 2019.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Woodlands Community Centre exists to promote the wellbeing of residents in the
Woodlands Estate and surrounding neighbourhoods without distinction of gender,
background, belief, or circumstance. We do this by working collaboratively with local
authorities, voluntary organisations, and residents to advance education and provide
inclusive facililies for recrealion, social welfare, and leisure. Our aim is simple.. to improve
lives and strengthen community bonds.
In line with Charity Commission guidance on Public Benefit, the Trustees have ensured that
all activities undertaken this year continue to meet these requirements and serve the wider
public interest.
Throughout 2025-26, we remained committed to our core aims by strengthening
community engagement, widening access to inclusive activities, and responding to rising
need. We continued to secure funding aligned with our charitable objectives, generated
income through raffles, low-cost activity fees, room hires, and community use, and
expanded opportunities for learning, wellbeing, and social connection.
Our revised funding strategy, supported by the new five-year unrestricted grant from
Liverpool City Council Youth & Community, has provided a strong foundation for long-temi
sustainability and operational resilience.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
As a small grassroots charity, we pride ourselves on being responsive, inclusive, and
deeply embedded in the lives of our local residents. This year, we continued to offer free or
low-cost universal services tailored to the needs of children, young people, families. and
older adults. Our programmes included after-school clubs, youth wellbeing sessions.
holiday activities, daytime groups for older residents, digital access support, and targeted
interventions for those facing disadvantage or risk.
We expanded our wellbeing offer significantly, launching new adult and youth programmes
in partnership with local organisations. These sessions provided early intervention,
emotional support, and safe spaces for young people navigating increasingly complex
challenges. Adults benefited from meditation, relaxation, creative wellbeing, and social
connection activities that reduced isolation and improved mental health.
Our warm hub provision remained essential. Free tea, coffee, biscuits, and weekly
community meals ensured that no resident was left without comfort or nourishment.
Families facing rising utility costs and food insecurity relied on the Centre as a safe,
welcoming space.

TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2026
A Place to Belong
Woodlands Community Centre continues to be a lifeline for many. Whether someone needs
help with online forms, a warm drink, a friendly chat, or support making appointments, we
are here. Residents consistently tell us that our services are essential, valued, and deeply
appreciated.
Activities Delivered
Our programme this year included a rich mix of creative, physical, social, and educational
activities. These ranged from Cook & Taste, yoga, line dancing, meditation, crochet class,
flower arranging, and men's wellbeing groups to youth clubs, drama, sports, Forest School,
awareness sessions, family fun days, and community meals.
Digital access sessions supported older residents with NHS appointments, weekly
chiropodist surgeries, and young people with homework and research.
Holiday Activities & Food (HAFI provision ensured children received nutritious meals
alongside enriching activities during school breaks.
Key Outcomes
We supported hundreds of direct beneficiaries across all age groups. Highlights include:
Reduced isolation among older residents
Improved mental and physical wellbeing
Increased confidence and resilience in young people
Safe, structured spaces for children after school
Access to nutritious meals during holidays
Strengthened community bonds through shared activities
Improved Social Connections & Reduced Isolation
Older residents reported feeling more connected, less isolated, and more confident in daily
life. Regular activilies such as Move to Music, yoga, craft classes, Meet, Eat & Chat
lunches, and community events created safe, welcoming spaces where friendships could
grow.
One resident described the impact of this connection..
"Before l joined this wonderful organization, life felt a little lonely, and l often wondered what
my purpose was now that I'm older. But everything changed once I became part of this
community. They welcomed me with open arms. and I truly feel like I belong.
Improved Wellbeing & Purpose
The grant enabled residents to participate in meaningful roles, including volunteering. This
strengthened confidence, purpose, and mental wellbeing.
"Volunteering has become one of the greatest joys in my life. Helping with cookery classes

Strengthened Home Life & Practical Support
The Centre's supportive environment extends beyond activities. Staff provided practical
help to residents facing challenges.
"When my washing machine broke, I thought I'd have to carry all my laundry on the bus.
Instead, the staff offered me use of the Centre's facilities and even arranged for someone to
come out and fix it."
Reduced Poverty Through Access to Food, Skills & Support
Holiday provision, Meet, Eat & Chat lunches, Feeding Liverpool partnerships, and cookery
programmes ensured residents had access to nutritious meals and food education.
Increased Confidence & Resilience in Young People
Youth programtnes aligned wilh the National Youth Strategy delivered safe, structured
spaces for personal development.
A Community That Transforms Lives
"This community has given me companionship, confidence. and purpose... I feel more alive
and hopeful than I have in years."
This lived experience reinforces the outcomes achieved through the grant: improved
wellbeing, increased social connection, strengthened home life. and reduced poverty.
Partnerships and Outreach
Partnership working remained central to our success. We collaborated with Speke Training
& Education Centre, New Horizons CIC, Valley Community Food Hub, Lee Valley
Pensioners, ACE Place, Bay Tree Cookery Academy, Pathways to Work, local schools. and
other community organisations. These partnerships broadened our reach, enhanced our
wellbeing offer, and ensured cohesive support for residents.
We also delivered some of our weekly communily meals at Valley Community Food Hub,
supporting both our own beneficiaries and a fellow CIC.
Risks and Challenges
Growing economic pressures have intensified community need, particularly among families
facing food insecurity and rising utility costs. Demand for crisis intervention, warm spaces,
and wellbeing support has increased significantly.
Staffing limitations remain a challenge, with only three part-time staff delivering a wide
range of services. The need for a Youth & Play Coordinalor is increasingly clear lo ensure
consistent, high-quality youth delivery. Volunteer engagement remains strong, but benefit-
related restrictions conlinue to limit availability.
Despite Ihese challenges, strengthened partnerships and long-tenn funding have enabled

RISK MANAGEMENT
The trustees have conducted their review of major risks to which the charity is exposed,
and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. These reviews are conducted
on a continuing basis.
The main risk to the charity is funding. The voluntary sector as a whole is finding it
increasingly difficult in this economic climate to raise funds and many have closed as a
result.
RESERVES POLICY
It is the policy of the charitable company to maintain unrestricted funds, which are free
reserves at a level to cover redundancy provision and three months, running costs should
no further funding be received.
At the end of the financial year, unreslricted funds totalled £183,756 of which £124,208 is
represented by tangible assets, leaving surplus free reserves of £59,548 (2025: £48,109).
The charitable company requires £30,194 for redundancy provision and £5,841 for three
months, running costs, (total £36,035}. See designated reserve.
The plans of the trustees for the balance of unrestricted reserves is to cover temporary
shortfalls in cash flow, funding unexpected cost and maintain short terms staffing levels
during gaps in funding.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

Servi￿ we must continue lo be committed to and invest in a range of key measures
including:

receivable, which are recognised on the date on which their unconditional payment is
confirmed by the donor.

judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities

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
to 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 affects both current and future periods.
