Wensum Sports Centre Charitable Association 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

The charity is an association governed by a constitution and was registered with the Charity Commission on 10[th] December 2012. The trustees were appointed by a general meeting held in November 2012. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

To advance education and promote recreation and leisure activities through the provision of a sports and leisure centre for use by clubs, associations and individuals. The charity runs a sports centre which incorporates a sports hall, two squash courts and a multi-purpose community area. Various activities are promoted including squash , badminton, football, handball ,short tennis ,table tennis, short matt bowls, dance, art workshop and many other community activities. 

The trustees have considered the Charity Commission`s guidance on public benefit. They confirm that in planning and carrying out the Trust`s activities they have had regard to this guidance, 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

For the year ended 31[st] March 2023 the charity recorded a small loss before depreciation of £2,568. This was after incurring costs of £12,665 for ongoing repairs and renewals to improve facilities for members and capitalised expenses of £3,237 on equipment. Income was significantly up on last year thanks to ongoing efforts to encourage use of the Charity`s facilities but this was offset to an extent by increased salary costs and of course the large increase in utility charges. 

As advised previously a trading subsidiary of the charity has been created in the form of a limited company to handle income from car parking. This company donated £24,282 to the charity during the course of the year. 

The last year has seen the continuation of growth and demand as experienced at the end of the COVID period and in spite of the rise in the cost of living generally. This has proven that people need to escape those financial pressures in order to follow their own goals and wellbeing. The continued support from the local community has allowed the trustees to proceed with much needed projects of renovation. As grant funding reduces, self-funding has become the only option to support these projects. When these remedial works are carried out there will be some loss of revenue-however with these projects the future of the Centre can be assured for many years to come. A new management structure has also made a valued contribution to the smooth running of the Centre. The year ended with a complimentary editorial in the local press praising the charity for its support to the community. 

Finally I would like to thank our staff and volunteers for all their hard work over the year. 

## **RESERVES POLICY** 

The trustees have agreed that their aim would be to retain sufficient reserves to meet all contractual liabilities and any unexpected costs. The Charity aims to have sufficient funds to cover 6 months normal running costs, which is approximately £30,000. 

## **DECLARATION** 

The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees` report above. 

Signed on behalf of the Trustees
