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

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.

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'.-

The following projects are planned for the forthcomlng year.-.

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:.

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.
