We are meeting our purpose of providing a varied range of services for the community frorn our busy premises on the High Street in the heart of Petersfield. Through the dedication and efforts of our staff and the many volunteers on whom we depend, Winton House Centre has become a unique hub for the Petersfield community, prowding a safe and welcoming space for all. We are extremely grateful to Councillor Chris Paige. the Mayor of Petersfield, for naming us as one of his two charities for 2025 and for his regular support of and personal cornmitment to our various activities. This has made a real difference and has been greatly appreciated by the Winton House Centre Board of Trustee5. Le55 than a year ago, the former Mayor, Councillor Lesley Farrow, abo av￿rded Winton House Centre a community medal. Our services continue to be very much in demand. The Winton Cornmunity Café is extremely popular, the meeting rooms are heavily booked. and we are proud to house other outstanding local charities such as the Petersfield Voluntary Care Group, Home-start 8utser and Age Concern Petersfield. Activities such as Men's C￿kery classes lin partnership with Age Concern and the Petersfield Men'5 Shed), the Memory Cafe, Bingo and Rummikub have all proved very popular. Save the Children also use Winton House for their very successfvl fundraising through the sale of vintage and pre4oved cbthing. Many other ktal charities regularly use Winton House for meetings and events. Winton House, a Grade11 Listed Buildin& is an important historical asset for the town and a significant landmark for the Petersfield community. Originally known as the White Hart it was the most prominent of Petersfield's coaching inns during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, believed to have provided rest and Tesprte to guests including Charle$11, the Queen Mother, Samuel Pepys and Peter the Great, the Tsar and later Emperor of All Russia. Located on the High Street in the heart of Petersfield, wrth a spacious and well-tended garden at the re8r {itsetf collecting prizes from Petersfield in Blwml, it continues to be an iconic and important building for the community. I took over as Chair of the 8oard in November 2024. following the retirement of Charles Bevan who had completed two four-year terms as Trustee and Chair of the WHC Board of Trustees. There were several other changes to the Board of Trustees during the year. Stephen Brown, David Kidd and Jenny fickner all stepped down from the Board, in Jenny'5 case after completing full four-year temis as a Trustee. On behalf of the 8oard, I would like to thank all of them wholeheartedly for their valuable contributions as Trustees. We also welcomed three new members of the Board of Trustees, John Wilderspin. Melanie Hughes and Elaine Dodds, each of them with valuable experience and expertise that will greatly enrich the Board. The post of Vice- Chair of the Board of Trustees was created. and Mike Waddington elected to the post, in July 2025. For the Board of Trustees, there is also a downside to being responsible for a historically important listed building in that providing the necessary (are and maintenance is Ine￿tab￿ complex and expensive. During the summer of 2025 we embarked on a substantial programme designed to address some pressing problems with the fabric of the buildin& which is now looking very smart again with its refreshed facade and new paintwork. We were fortunate. on thi5 occasion, to have some recent legacy fund5 available for the repairs, and our routine ongoing costs are partially defrayed by income from the flats on the upper floors. But looking to the future, the 8oard of Trustees is acutely aware of the need to manage Winton House and the various Winton House Centre actiwties on a financialty sustainable basis and is urgently exploring potential new source5 of support to enable u5 to continue to provide a central Petersfield location for the communty. Thank you to all OUT volunteers. our staff and my fellow Trustees for making what we do possible.
