## **Annual Report 24-25** 

## **Chairpersons Report** 

## **‘Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart’ - Elizabeth Andrew** 

This quote captured the very essence of Woodhouse Close Church Community Centre. 

As Chair of the Trustees, I have the privilege of witnessing the extraordinary commitment of our team - 

Staff, volunteers and partners - who give of their time, energy and compassion to help others, often in the most difficult of circumstances. 

In an area ranked among the top 10% most deprived areas in England, the work of our Centre is not just important, it is **ESSENTAIL** . 

This past year, we have continued to provide a lifeline to many in our community. From crisis support and food provision, to warm spaces, well being activities and opportunities for skill-building and connection, the Centre remains a place where people are welcomed, supported and valued. 

We do this, not in isolation, but in partnership, with local authorities, charities, faith groups and most importantly, the people of Woodhouse Close themselves. Their resilience, generosity and sense of community are the driving force behind all we do. 

Thank you to everyone who has supported the Centre this year, as their contributions - whether time, talent or trust - are helping  us make real and lasting change, right at the heart of our community.

## **Annual Report 24-25** 

The Management Committee have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended March 2025 

Objectives and Activities 

- a) Promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Woodhouse Close Estate and the Neighbourhood defined deprivation by Woodhouse Close Ward (hereinafter called the (‘area of benefit’) without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions, by associating together the said inhabitants and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare, with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants. 

- b) Promote such other charitable purposes as may from time to time be  determined. 

We are a local charity situated in the middle of Woodhouse Close Central Ward within Bishop Auckland, which is statistically in the top 10% most deprived areas of England. Considering this level of socioeconomic deprivation, community space, support and spirit is arguably more vital and contributes more significantly to the health and well being of our neighbourhood. 

The purpose of Woodhouse Close Church Community Centre is to provide for all in the community, particularly those facing hardship or crisis situations and in need of welfare support. 

We work alongside a myriad of organisations in a common effort to provide facilities, services and activities in the interest of social welfare, with the objective of improving quality of life and standards of living. 

We offer activities and services for local people and the community based on need and interest. 

We have a small dedicated staff team who understand and execute the ethos of the organisation throughout their work, understanding the value and importance of volunteers and supporting them to develop skills, abilities and aspirations that enables the centre and Church to continue supporting local people and the community.

## **Annual Report 24-25** 

## **Foreword from Centre Manager** 

As we reflect on another very busy year here at Woodhouse Close Church Community Centre, I am proud to present our annual report that evidences the work we do and support we give and offer to the local people and communities of Bishop Auckland and surrounding areas. 

I continue to be in awe of our staff and volunteers’ resilience and dedication in achieving the core ethos and aims and objectives of the charity and I am truly grateful for their 


continued support. 

We have had some remarkable achievements over the past year and have made many tangible differences to the lives of those accessing our services—especially in relation to our Crisis Intervention Project and Older Peoples Social Participation. 

Cornerstone—Bob the Dog 

We are confident that by continuing to 

work together with other like  minded organisations in the area that we will continue to offer our activities and services based on need and interest. 

Deanna—Community Champion We are committed to ensuring our services are accessible to all who need Tesco them and believe that by working together we can achieve  a positive and lasting difference. 

We have been extremely lucky to have had continuous donations and support from local supermarkets, churches, organisations, businesses, people and funders that has enabled us to continue to provide our services and projects for those in need.

## **Challenges, Progress, Achievements and Funding** 

## **Successful Grants** 

£20,000 to enable us to continue our older people’s social participation activities. This is a core priority for our charity as we firmly believe that everyone needs social connections to survive and thrive. Being alone may leave older people more vulnerable to loneliness  and social isolation, which can affect their health and well-being. Elderly activities with a social focus are crucial to overall wellness, when older people constantly engage in social activities they experience significant improvements in their physical, mental and emotional health outcomes.

## **Christmas Lunch** 


Once again we held our annual Christmas lunch for volunteers and users of our activities within the centre. Thank you to Bishop Auckland Town Council who very kindly funded the event and great fun was had by all who attended. 

The turnout was the biggest yet, with 140 lunches given out across the  event within the centre and our Meals on Wheels service. 



Thank you to  everyone who came, all our volunteers and staff ….we even had a visit from Santa’s elves. 

**— Well Being Group** Mondays 1p.m.—3p.m. 



Crafting has long been recognised for its therapeutic benefits, when we add the social element to the mix, these benefits are magnified. 

This group offers numerous benefits to those participating, such as: stress reduction, improved mental health, enhanced social skills and a boost in self esteem, all while fostering creativity and a sense of community. A really fun group to be a part of. 

## **Summer Family Actvites** 

We held 2 activities over the summer holidays for children and parents, very kindly funded through Sainsbury’s, thank you so much for putting us forward Elaine, we offered a craft and activity session and a sports day with lunch included. 



Engaging in family crafts offers numerous benefits such as: fostering creativity, enhancing fine motor skills, promoting family bonding and boosting self-esteem and confidence, whilst also providing a fun, stress-reducing activity for everyone. Not only does it give a sense of achievement , it is also a meaningful route to self expression. 



## **Woodhouse Close Church Community Centre** 

## **Annual report 24-25** 


We offered: 3D butterfly making, cake and biscuit decorating, cards, paper plate art, button snails, play doh, 3D pasta art, lollypops, marble runs and Lego making. Lunch was provided and everyone said how much they enjoyed the session. 

Our sports day helped to develop social skills and showcased the joy and exhilaration that comes with physical activity— celebrating movement and the capabilities of our bodies in a fun and supportive environment. 


Even the  Centre Manager tried out the tunnel for the obstacle course, and then outside in the sunshine (which eventually came out) for apple bobbing - a wet end to a great day. 









**Food Support/Parcels and Food Waste** 

Our extension is now fully operational and is the dedicated space for the food  element of our Crisis Intervention Project. It has proven to be a godsend for the volunteers making up the food parcels and storing the food that is donated or bought. We continue to support the food waste initiative by picking food up from local supermarkets that is to good to bin and using within our Meals on Wheels Service and Lunch Club as well as offering to local people to take what they can use. Usually available on a Tuesday and Wednesday. 



**Woodhouse Close Church Community Centre** 

## **Annual Report 24 - 25** 

## **Older People’s Social Participation Activities:** 

## **Monday Craf Group** 

As mentioned earlier in this report this group is also a part of our well-being activities. The emphasis of this group  is friendship, fun, creativity and the odd glue gun burn!! We have attempted many different crafts, including: jewellery making, gift tags, wool work and foam flowers to name but a few. We have also held a 10 week course on various forms of printing hosted by Dawn in partnership with Daisy Arts. The group continues to grow with people joining from other groups within the centre, we also meet at a café once per month and have meals out together as a large group further strengthening the bonds of friendship. 

## **- Chooseday Tuesday** Tuesday 9.30 a.m. to 1.30 p.m. 


I would say Chooseday Tuesday is a  quiet and reserved group comprising of approximately 12 reserved and gentile women and 5 gentlemen…..but I would be lying!!!!!! It’s a lively group which runs on innuendos, jokes and laughter...which 


is exactly what the members of the group need. Each week there may be a quiz, crafts, games and cards - whilst the men tend to like to play dominoes. Tea, coffee and biscuits are plentiful with the majority staying for lunch. The group 

have really gelled, new members are warmly welcomed and great friendships have formed and strengthened. 

## **- Day Club** Thursday 9.30 a.m. to 2.30 p.m. 


Aided and abetted by the wonderful Iris, the Day Club continues doing well. Four new members have recently joined and have settled into the rhythm of the group with everyone actively participating in the activities on offer and of course BINGO. Unfortunately two of our long standing members no longer attend due to ill health, however, they are greatly missed by us all. The group enjoy morning crafts, especially card making, word searches, colouring and dominoes, they have even learned the art of flower arranging, which they thoroughly enjoyed and showed off their decorations proudly. 

A visit on the Weardale Railway and alighting for afternoon tea is planned for summertime.

## **Woodhouse Close Church Community Centre** 

## **Crisis Intervention Project Report April 2024 to March 2025** 

During this year we have dealt with 1317 visits; a decrease of 24% on the previous year.  The number of separate cases for the year has fallen from 719 to 615. The origin of the referrals have largely remained unchanged with the exception of referral from JCP (down 4%age points and the Police (up 2%age points) 

## **Frequency of visits and locations** 

369 cases visited once (60%): up by 3%age points to last year. 

The table attached gives a full breakdown of locations, and the ratios are largely replicated from the previous year. The majority of visits, 573, come from Bishop Auckland (44% down from 48%.  Other areas remained fairly static 

## **Reasons for needing help** 

The reasons again remain largely on a par with last year. 

The areas that have shown a change are: 

Hardships has risen by 2%points.  The JCP referrals in particular show that people are experiencing hardship because their private rentals are circa £450 but the benefit allowance is £393.  Some people are also still struggling with the bedroom tax. 

Relocation and moving house have also increased by 2%age points. Sanctions have decreased by 2% points. 

## **Network of Contacts who refer to us and to whom we refer clients** 

We have seen a number of new organisations referring individuals to us and this is also reflected in the increase in the area we cover - particularly to the east- which indicates how far we now reach across the county. 

The Percentages of those agencies who refer year on year remain much the same with the exception of: 

JCP – down 4%points (down to 35% from 39%) 

Police – up 2%age points (up from 2%points to 4%points) 

Once again all the staff and volunteers have shown wonderful commitment, knowledge, patience and expertise to effectively support those who come to us.  They work so hard to ensure people can access what they need - from listening and assessing those needs, helping them to engage/re-engage with organisations that can help them, making sure all are kept safe, answering phone calls and  looking after visitors, to accepting and  managing the massive amount of food donations and packing food parcels ready for delivery and making sure the community knows how grateful we are for their support.  Thank you. 

Finally, we would not be able to continue to provide support to people who need a help up without the help of funders and individuals. We are indebted to our tremendously supportive Bishop Auckland and Shildon Area Action Partnership as well as our local councillors. We are very grateful too, to the many local supermarkets and retailers who promote what we do, collect provisions and give their spare food.   We receive donations of money, as well as food donations, from church members throughout the deanery, circuit and the member churches of Bishop Auckland Fellowship of Christian Churches as well as many individual donations. All your support is very much appreciated.

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with  those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as  trustees concerning  any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide  all the evidence that  would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view'. 

## Independent Examiner's Statement 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that: 

- proper accounting records are kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and 

- accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act; or 

(2)  to  which,  in  my  opinion,  attention  should  be  drawn  in  order  to  enable  a  proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Woodhouse Close Church Community Centre 

## Year Ending 31 March 2025 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ending 31 March 2025 set out on pages 13 to 19. 

## Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Independent Examiner 

The charity's  trustees are responsible for the  preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees  consider that an audit is not required for this year under section  144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions  given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with  those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as  trustees concerning  any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide  all the evidence that  would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view'. 

## Independent Examiner's Statement 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that: 

- proper accounting records are kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and 

- accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act; or 

(2)  to  which,  in  my  opinion,  attention  should  be  drawn  in  order  to  enable  a  proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
