Summary ofthe main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects {include within this section the statutory declaration that trustee5 have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) JPCA is committed to enabling as many people as possible to make use of and benefit from the community centre, which JPCA manage and maintain on behalf of Bracknell Forest Council. It also provides a resource for building and supporting the growing development of Jennett's Park and Wykery Copse. JPCA fulfills these obligations through hiring the community centre for regular hirers that provide classes of a leisure and educational purpose, these classes are open to the whole community. These cover a wide and varied range of activities for babies, children and adults, and through various special one-off events, subsidised by the association for the cohesion of the local community and Gentre users. Alongside this, the association provides the ability for the centre to be hired for private events, such as birthday parties, family celebrations, business meetings and local council, policing, voluntary and public surgeries. In addition, JPCA works in partnership with local organisations to provide a centre of information, support, and guidance to local residents. Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information) You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about.. policy on grantmaking., policy programme related investment., contribution made by volunteers. Jennett's Park Communty Centre is staffed by volunteers and one employee. The role of Centre Administrator includes all booking and administration tasks, as well as centre management,. unlocking and locking for private hirers. JPCA would like to Ihank all our volunteers for their commitment, hard work and giving up their time to assist the rLJnning of the centre and associalion. Section D Achievements and performance The last 12 months have seen a slight improvement but income from regular hirers has not returned lo previous levels. We said goodbye to one of our long standing groups- Baby Sensory- this year. We did see the start of two new exercise classes under the BFC Public Health Programme- Fil For All. Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year Occasional weekend hire remains as popular as ever, with bookings being made for most weekends. The Community Centre continues to be one of the mosl popular 'community' venues for hire in the Bracknell Forest area - despite new cenlres recently opening. This is in part due to the hard work of our Centre Adminislrator, Lindsey Mellor. We continue to use LemonBooking as our hire booking system. We held our yearly panlo again this year and we had a full audience. A great lime was had by all. We also re-introduced a community table top sale and a Christmas market event for local business. Both events went well and we hope to continue them in 2025 Utility costs, insurance, salaries, etc all increased over this reporting period and these increases have an effect on running costs. We increased the hourl hire rates of our occasional hirers this ear. Rates TAR March 2012
Section D Achievements and performance had not been increased since the centre opened in Nov 2011. Aside from the regular and occasional hire, the Bracknell Forest lottery remains as one of our revenue sources, although not currently supported as well as it has been in previous years. Following lengthy and difficult negotiations wilh Thames Valley Poli, the Police Point was handed back to JPCA in November, following the end of their ten year lease. The room was decorated and Convèrted to an officelcommrttee room. Section E Financial review It is JPCA'S policy to maintain a balance of unrestricted funds lif possible), which equates to at least 12 months basic operating costs, Ihis would include utilities, insurance, cleaning, waste disposal, telecommunications, basic marketing, invoicing and booking systems. This is equivalent lo around £20,000 taking into account reduced usage. This is a worst-case scenario with no hire income. The balants of £18,100 from 2024's finances falls just short of this requirement. There will be a focus in 2025 to reduce costs if possible and increase revenue by new groups and an increase to regular hire charges. Brief statement of the charity'5 policy on reserves Details of any funds materially in deficit Further financlal review details (Optional information) Our main source of income is from centre hiring fees, whether this be regular groups or occasional one-off hires. However, we were also receive funds from Ihe BFC lottery.
