1.3 This report prowdas: A break(kswn of our actiwlies arKJ how these activities meet our ot4'ectives. An outline ol our proposed Agenda for the coming A copy ol our Annual Accounts Background Information 2.1 Ouston Community Association Ltd is a registered Charity 11￿&33 and a Company Ltd by Guaranlee 06750379. The organisation is managed by a Board of Directors elected annually at our AGM. During 2024. the Board comprised individuals with a diverse range of skills and backgrounds. All ￿rd members are from the kyAI communty and as such have a feel lor the organisation. 2.2 The aims of our Organisation are perhaps best summed up in our MissK)n Statement vhich is outlined at the opening of this report %thich is- To provide an inclusive Community Resource c￿tre for the people of Ouslon through which individuats ofall ages, and communty groups, ￿1/ have access to meeting spaces, advi￿, informafvon and guidance, educational, social and leisure opportunities. 2.3 We also aim to ensure the longer-tenn Via￿'1ty ol this Communty Resource by worf(ing wth the community and olher partners to galher infomiation which will infomi the nalure of our provision and to access communty grants and encourage a degree ol self-suslainability from income from the services we provide. Ouston Community Assttiatlon Ltd: A Profile Ouston Community Association employs a Centre manager, a caretaker and a cleaner. However, the Centre could not function wthoul the support of many dedicated volunteers working in various capacities. Ouston Community AS￿latIOn VAS formed in 1973 to meet the ne￿S ol all the members of the local community. The organisalion was a charity for many years and changed its status to become a Charitable Company in 2(K)9. Our general aim is to provide a range of activities and a meetiThJ ￿ace for all the occupants. The original tunding came Irom the l(Kal communty by a 'Buy a Brick. campaign and from Durham County Council. The organisalion owns Ihe building and has recenlly purchased (15101r2025) the land on which it is situated. via an Assel transfer from Dutham County Council Ouston Community Association Ltd (OCA) has developed over the years into an organisation that can demonstrate a degree of sew-sustainabilty. The incorne generated from room hire and activities is just enough to fund the centres generic costs a￿1 the post ol a manager and a r.Ip.anp.r wilh thA *ll>W- rt nf thp. fni inpil tho AAP 2nrtniir Inftj! Munpillnro •hrrni I the Members Fund (Cllrs Batey,Pringle and Wwd). In addtlK)n, OCA have employed a caretaker on a lixed term contract of 12 months for 10 hours per week. This has been enabled by a grant from the 'Sir James Knolv trust. It would be our intention to continue the caretaker role beyond the 12 month funding perrod and we wll work hard lo ensure there is enough income to SJPFK)rt this. Page 5

3.6 Whilst the organisation caters for a diverse range of fwe. V￿ recognise thal we need to I￿k at developing a number of distinct areas of prowsion further. Funding Priorities In 2019 the organisation launched tts five-year Business Plan in which we tried to identify a number ol priorities to help us move forward strategicalty. During 2024 were abl& to mak8 huge progress in tackling some ol these issues. The organisation managed to secure funding of £42,007.00 in 2024 from Grants and Donations {as detailed on page 3 of this report) lovrdrds the annual running costs and project work. The building is now 50 years of age. and Ihe faciltties are of a standard lo buildings of a similar age and is in need of continued refurbishment arKt redecoratK)n to keep the Centre attractive to visilors and new groups. The tollowing prc4ects ￿Ere comtAeted during 2024'.- Roof A major repair has been completed on the main flat r(x)f in earfy 2024, thanks to a grant from Durham County Coun&1 (section 106) CCTV A new CCTV system has been installed during 2024 providiry grealer security lor staff and users of the communty centre The following projects are planned for the forthcomlng year.-. Refurbishment of Ladies toilets Improvements to disabled toilet facilrties Aefurbishmenl ol small kitchen Future Development The successful grants abrdrded over the lasi 5years enabled ￿ to lackle a number ol priorities, happened because ol successful planning. The introcknction of a Business Plan allowed us lo identify issues and plan accordingly. The exisling 5 year Business Plan YRS updated during the year 2019 and now covers the years 2021- 2024. Working ￿th this gave us a fc¢us. It is irnperative that if we are to move forward in the same way in the coming years. we need lo address the oulslanding issues strategically. We wll be preparing a new 5 year business plan during 2025 Priorities tor the comlng year have th￿efore been identified as follows:. Core Cost". Salaries- The abilty to cover the Centre Managers salary for the nexl thfee years - in full Of in part would provide continuty. slabilty and a platlorm for longer tem planning and development. 4,.- ￿￿4 1 IUIIVIIIY tsVVIV ￿￿￿11￿￿[411y VV used on salaries to address some of the oulstanding issues outlined atr￿ve. The Centre currently employs a manager on 20 ￿UrS per week and yel when we are lully operational, we provide faciltties 81>1(KJ hours per v￿ek. We also employ a part-time cleaner who works 10 hours per week, and a part-time caretaker also working 10 hours per week. In the coming year we wll continue to try and Gbtain funding to urKJeryn the salary ol the Page 6

manager and colleagues alike. Core Activities In the last year we worked wth the communty to provide a rar¥Je ol aclivilies for elderly and vulnerable people, Children and Young People and Community and Farth groups. The table below highlights Ihe range of groups we have wot1<ed wth and the number of sessions provided and the approximate number of rwe involved in th(￿e groups.

Around 17 actiwty sessions y￿th groups fr(¥n 5 to 50 members again many ol these groups happening on a weekty. fortnightty or monthly basis. Over atproximately 3,099 volunteering sessions, and 88 volunteers. we calculate Ihat 4,648 hours of volunteering have been provided. If this was paid at Ihe National Living Wage this would be the equivalent 01 £53.173 of in kiThY support this year. These are volunleers, some ol whom are often vulnerable themselves. have health and or disability related issues, people who are not working in the traditional sense ar)d people vkno might find it difficult to find work. The volunteers want to work forthe groups and they get as much OLrt of volunteering as we do. Our volunleers feel they are conlribLrting to the nee(ts of fhe Community Centre and are being respected in retum. Sn addition to this we have prov#Yed sutffj)ort to many elderty vulnerable people in the communty. This is the true and tangible nature of what the Community Centre prowdes lo the Community of Ouston and whal the Communty of Ouslon provides to the Centre and it is something that should be celebrated, supported and shouted about. (A full Rnge of ststistics OPFX)rtuntttes and figures follow) Summary of klivltles and Oulcomes Whilst the organisation promdes a V￿de range of activities aThJ interest to individuals and groups and to the communty as a whole, we are al present atAe lo generate al least ol our income annually. We still believe that we are missing out on various secttons of the communty and we are taking steps to address this. 8.2 We still believe that the current usage of the Centre does not rellect its potential usage given thal the building is al near capacity from earfy lo late evenirry until 11)pm at nighl with space being at a premium, however the period IrcKn 3.3Q)m until 6pm is unde-utilised. demonslrab'ng both a loss of potential income and a failure to recognise atvj reach other potential markets, particularly those around training and enterprise. Funding: Page 3 of this report details the fundiThJ we have received dufflg the year. This report highlights a Development Strategy and the funding ￿l(￿[tieS for the coming year. 10. Closing Comments 10.1 As an organisation we recognise the need to become more sdf-sufficienl and as such we will continue to apply for grants in the interitn peri(¥J and or when funding becomes available. It is our aim to maintain our self-sufficient approach and ￿ere possible lo woth bmthin the income we can generate from the Centre and the supwrt we can attracl in kind from the l(Kal communty. io.? As witb. thA prevtous vear TrJi are d4eTm.inpd that Ihe organioalion w.tll r.ontinve to make pr(xJress towards ttiis e￿1. This wll be (kjne by devel(ping the under-ulilised aspects and times ol the Centre, by applwng for granls, by wsely using the funding we have and eliminating waslage and by developing the srtial aspecl ol the community centre and community events. 1C.3 We estimate the ger.eral annual running costs of the Centre to arourid £79 iM)O ￿r annum and we wll work towards raising this through grant aid, ac11vi￿S and increased centre usage.
