Wrenthorpe Community Association Limited
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 28 February 2023
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 28 February 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Wrenthorpe Community Association Limited provides the Village Hall and Valley Crescent Community Centre for the use of the residents of Wrenthorpe and surrounding areas.
The objective of the charitable company is to provide and maintain these premises, and improve the conditions of life for the beneficiaries and offer equal opportunities to all.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
The last year up to February 2023 has been increasingly busy with more groups getting more confident to meet together after the Covid pandemic.
We cater for all ages and abilities, for example Baby Massage, Zumba, Yoga, Kumon educational sessions, garden club, bowls, along with dance groups. The schedule has become much busier in both venues.
We have worked hard to keep up with the maintenance, regular and compulsory checks installed to the hall. We now have all lighting A rated in both places. Our cafe was checked by the environmental health department and we are very proud to have achieved 5 star status. We purchased a new ceramic cooker for our small kitchen, We are working on plans to extend the kitchen. This takes time, getting plans drawn up and obtaining grants.
We now have our own AED in the hall and will be running training sessions later this year. The WCA has helped the community to service 3 AEDs in Wrenthorpe.
The WCA has signed an agreement with a management company to restrict the use of the car park to authorised hall users, but allowing local residents and nursery users to park for sufficient time to visit the chemist or drop off and pick up children.
One of our achievements this year has been the building of a Covid Memorial Garden. It was opened in June 2022 by Rosemary, the widow of our trustee David Arthur who died in 2020 from Covid.
A new adventure starting with the garden is a Mosaic Walk around Wrenthorpe. The community is very involved with this project. It is due to be completed by April. The sessions are attended by all ages from children to adults.
Events the WCA has organised are the Seniors Lunch in December, Brass on the Grass in September and not to forget the wonderful Jubilee celebrations. There was an art exhibition and 3 great coffee mornings. Several people were able to enjoy coffee and cake in the garden.
This year we are organising a Coronation tea party on May 7th for our over 70s. As King Charles will be 74, we are catering for 74 guests.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
These accounts reflect transactions from 1st March 2022 to 28th February 2023.
The total incoming resources for the period ended 28th February 2023 amounted to £40,957. Total expenditure during the period amounted to £57,874 This included the transfer of £17,608 of restricted funds to Wrenthorpe and Kirkhamgate Assist food bank, which now is a registered CIO. The balance of the WCA's expenditure was £40,266.
We also added over £15,000 to our capital assets by creating a COVID memorial garden next to the village hall.
Excluding the transfer of the food bank balances, the surplus for this period amounted to £691. Net Assets at the end of the financial period amounted in £248,368 held in unrestricted reserves.
As a result the WCA continues to be in a strong position and a going concern.
This year we have been successful in maintaining the regular use of the Village Hall at around 160 hours per month. As a result the availability for casual bookings is now limited to Saturday afternoons and Sundays. Valley Crescent regular use is around 70 hours per month.
With the help of grants we created a mosaic trail around the village, and also held Jubilee celebrations.
