Objects of the Community Club

The objects of the CIO are to establish and run a Community Centre and it is for the benefit of the inhabitants of the parish of Murton (area of benefit) without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, nationality, race or political, religious or other opinions the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the conditions of life of the said inhabitants.

Organisational structure

There is a management committee comprising 4 trustees. As a ‘Foundation Model’ Charitable Incorporated Organisation the 4 trustees

are the only members. The constitution allows for a maximum of 8 trustees.

Unfortunately, Trustee Jenny Shutt died in this financial year our thoughts are with the family at this sad time. She was a lovely lady who contributed a great deal to our centre.

All key decisions are made collectively and in line with the constitution. Recruitment, skills and training of trustees

The constitution stipulates the ethos of the trustees that any person wishing to be a trustee of the charity must have a clear understanding of the roles, responsibilities and the liabilities of being a charity trustee and have appropriate and relevant skills and experience. Each new trustee must be willing to undertake training and work to further the objects of the charity.

The trustees will accept invitations from any person eligible under the constitution and can demonstrate the skills needed and commitment to the organisation. The Chair, Secretary and an independent person will consider any applications.

All potential trustees interviewed will be provided with a copy of the constitution, annual report and accounts.

This year trustees have taken up a range of positive thinking, confidence building and governance training to support them with the right skills, attitudes and confidence to run an effective organisation.

The CREE Project was set up to increase social interaction and reduce isolation for the men of Murton. By keeping active and sharing interests helps with reducing stress and anxiety and enhances the well-being of all attending.

The Men enjoy the social aspect of meeting up for chats, refreshments and activities such as craft, puzzles, potting and maintaining plants for our sensory garden which is an ongoing project. They also enjoy trips to various venues of interest.

Community Garden Project

The Community Garden Project was set up to allow people of all ages and abilities to take part in developing a Community Garden and for all to take part in the maintaining and upkeep of the garden to enhance well-being of all who take part. An aim of the project is to reduce social isolation and loneliness this project is invaluable to those who participate and the wider Community.

Events

• Coffee mornings

• Christmas Sales

• Craft Fair

User Groups

The User Groups at Macrae House bring a lot of people into the Centre and contribute a lot to its running. The Centre benefits financially from these groups and all of them are very successful and managed well. Groups include:

Murton Mams

A group of women who are ‘mams/grandmothers’ living in the community who come together to relax and support each other. They meet every Friday morning and it is a good way to get all of the families/freinds working together. A creche is usually available for the little ones to provide ‘ME’ time for the parents. The ‘Mams’ have participated in a wide range of activities and trips in the summer holidays. They have taken up healthy eating courses, facials and massages and craft activities. Currently they are doing shabby chic and upcycling and reports of beneficiaries are very positive. It is a safe and supportive environment where members can have a cuppa and a chat. Funding has recently been secured to train two members as crèche workers which will enhance their skills and provide support to the group.

Cold Hesledon Ladies

The Cold Heseldon Ladies comprises of more than 50 members and was set up over 30 years ago. The group has been meeting at Macrae House for 4 years. The ladies meet up the first Thursday of every month when they have various entertainers, speakers and trips organised.

Jolly Girls

The Jolly Girls have 14 members and was set up 26 years ago. They meet every Wednesday evening and have a programme set out of a range of activities and events.

Bowls Club

The Bowls Group meets every Tuesday and has10 members. The group has been running for 10 years and all of the members enjoy indoor carpet bowls. There are several elderly people who enjoy being spectators.

Bingo Ladies

The Bingo Ladies have at least 10 members, they meet on a Monday and Thursday afternoon. As well as playing bingo, members enjoy socialising with others

Knit and Chatter

Knit and chatter ladies meet on Mondays and do a variety of crafts including Knitting, crotchet, sewing, embroidery. And enjoy producing lovely items for various charitys. They enjoy the social side to the group too.

Provision of foodbank services

A foodbank was set up to help the local people struggling with financial, health and wellbeing issues.

Room Hire

We have a room hire policy and agreed charges and have been able to generate income by renting out rooms to a range of groups and businesses on a regular or ad hoc basis.

• Slimming World

• Wellbeing health Trainers

• Private parties

• Spied projects

Plans for the future

The key plans for the coming year are to ensure that the Macrae House Community Club is a financially viable and sustainable organisation and that the trustees have the right skills, training and support to run an effective community centre.

Having carried out community consultations, we will continue to provide services through partner agencies and organisations and increase partnership working.

We plan to hold a wide range of events that include coffee mornings, social and fundraising events. We will continue to apply for funding to deliver projects in line with our capacity to deliver and the community need.

We will develop a volunteer programme so that we can support people into work through an organised and supportive approach to volunteering. This approach will build the capacity of individual volunteers whilst providing support to the centre.

We will continue, and seek to increase, to work with and support a wide range of user groups that are a vital part of the work of the centre. We aim to increase the numbers of people and families accessing the services and activities within the centre.

Partnership working

We have worked with a wide range of agencies and organisations to help us to provide services and activities for our community. Partners include:

• East Durham Trust

• East Durham Area Action Partnership

• Wellbeing for Life

• Durham County Council

• Believe Housing

• CAF COOP

Public benefit

The organisation’s objects are clear in providing the remit for delivery of any and all activities carried out by the charity.

As can be seen by the wide variety of activity and services, everything we do as an organisation is done so for the benefit of the community and the people of Murton.

We carry out regular consultations with those who use the centre and with our user groups to assess what activities and services they would like us to consider to ensure that we are providing what the public in our area of benefit wants and needs.

Thank you from the Trustees

We would like to thank those people, organisations and agencies who have provided support to the development of the Centre and to those who have helped us through the past difficult year and encouraged us to move forward as a well managed group in a positive way to benefit the community.

As Trustees, we are all ‘hands on’ volunteers and would like to thank everyone who has provided volunteer support in any way to ensure that Macrae House remains a welcoming environment for everyone in the community of Murton.
