Warriors Community Project
Trustees' Report for the year 2024
The organisation
Warriors Community Project is a CIO, registered with the Charity Commission, January 2014.
Activities in the financial period.
Another good year establishing our amateur boxing club which is growing stronger and busier all the time. They have travelled to several parts of the country gaining a god reputation for the skills they have shown in such a short time.
Unfortunately, we have had two failed attempts at Grant Aid for our own Mini-Bus to help support the Centre and all its good work. But we are very hopeful for future attempts to be successful as we are building more partnerships with local family hubs, churches and centres which strengthens our course in the distribution of M&S Food Surplus.
Toddler Group and Ladies Fellowship numbers have grown and the successful Café facility are bringing more users to the Centre, along with Parkrun, which can bring visitors from all around the country, enhancing Whitehills Centre's profile.
We have been successful with several smaller Grants from Gateshead Council and Neighbourly, which have all been spent.
Gateshead Council Warm Room £1,380 for a new Fridge Freezer.
Gateshead Council Warm Room £600 for Stock and heating costs + £1,200 for new cooker.
Neighbourly Grant £500 to help with collection and delivery costs.
Neighbourly Grant £230 to subsidise Xmas Café Lunch.
Unrestricted Reserves
At the year end the reserves showed a balance of £10,140 (all Unrestricted).
