Introduction Welcome to our 2025 annual report. 2025 has been a year of stability and sustainability. Financial stsbility for the charity. maintaining the level of hire established in 2024 and sustainability for the centre by investing in renewable energy. We are also growing through the expansion of our footprint, with the acquisition of additional land between our building and the park. This is still ongoing. bul we are confident that we will be able to complete earfy in 2026. We are very grateful for the continued support of our hirers. We have welcomed a couple of new, regular groups, mainly from the exercise sector, proving the need within the community and we have also made good our promise to increase craft-based activities. Our own weekly Stitch and Chat crochet group is now well established as well as regular workshops in fused glass and wreath making. Initiatives which not only meet requests from the community but help us on our journey to becoming self-sustsining in uncertain times. In February last year we welcomed Phil, our caretaker, to Team Arc. Initially funded by Charnwood Borough Council through a Community Grant. we are delighted to be able to keep him on as he is a valuable member of the team. There have been changes within the Board of Trustees as we said goodbye to Anatu, Helen and Miles- thank you for your time and efforts - and welcomed Jan, Carol. Pauline and Emma. The new board is committed to working together for the benefit of the Arc, Greating committees to focus on elements of th@ operation, and undertaking training to ensure they can deliver what's needed and expected. We look fomard to a Period of trustee lead direction to focus on our 5 year strategy plan to ensure we meet our community evolving needs in the future. Community engagement and footfall is broadly similar to that achieved in 2024. Occupancy by B0r TypelO11011202S-31112120251 F4Try. Tr2.Q.74Yb T14ty.253.1&J6 E.117.7.

Providing a safe, affordab18, clean and bright @nvironment for life 8v8nts remains important to us. To ensure that we are respecting our neighbours, we have limited adult parties to an early finish and monitored numbers.
We continue to serve the community as a polling station and have increased the number of food options available on a regular basis with Olivia's coffee and bakery and Hooked fish and chips in our carpark weekly. Our social media presence is an important part of our marketing and we now have over 2200 Facebook followers, a 17.60/0 increase on 2024. This is a real achievement in a relatively short space of time.

The Arc Activities Our Arc Groups grew again this year. Our Over 60s exercise group now runs 3 times a week with approximatoly 80 people benefitting from improved flexibility, stamina and the opportunity to meet and chat to others. Huge thanks to Intelligent Energy for their grant which helped cover the cost of our instructor. Our Little Stars Baby and Toddler group continues to offer fun activities and supports new parents. Table Tennis is enjoyed by attendees of all ages. Tuesday Treks hit 2 years old and numbers are increasing as attendees feel the benefit of gentle exercise and the opportunity to chat over a bacon butty or cheese and tomato toastie at our pop up café. A local walking group for parents and babies, Steps and Strollers, also take advantage of the pop up café by starting and finishing their walk here on a Tuesday. It's great to be able to offer low-cost options to them, especially whilst on maternity leave. and give them a safe Spa for peer support. Warhammer is slowly increasing in numbers and firing the imagination of a group of dedicated members. Tai Chi is gaining in popularity and provides a low impact exercise opportunity. Our new Stilch and Chat crochet group has quickly become a popular option for the crafters in the community. We created a wonderful tribute to the fallen with our poppy display which drew the attention of the Royal British Legion. Thanks to Equality Action for their continued support.
We continued our family fun days at Easter. Halloween and Christmas. Santa's Grotto sold out once again and visitors enjoyed live music and mulled wine alongside our raffle. badge making and inflatables We introduced a Summer fun day which proved popular with a special guest, BumbleBeel Our ever-popular Autumn Gift Fair continued to attract good numbers to shop early for Christmas. We vet all stalls ourselves to reduce duplication and maintain high standards and it is great to hear that stall holders value this and immediately book for the following year! We will continue to put all 5 of these events on again, whilst there is an appetite for them. We are in a fortunate position in that we can put these on at low or no cost to families and we see them as an important part of our calendar, bringing the community together. A new initiative this year was the distribution of hampers for the elderly, comprising donations of Christmas Ireats. Special thanks to Outwoods Edge School ft)r their kind donation. These were delivered by our Trustees and Local councillors and very gratefully received. *£r
Our Hirers Éo pop uppu• LIVIA5 TODDLIA FOOY•4LLI Our hirers remain many and varied! Exercise is the most popular with a variety of classes available every week day. Our What's-on Guide is published twice a year and delivered door to door bul if you haven't gol one. please look at our website or Facebook page to see our timetable. We are delighted to be able lo support the NHS by continuing to offer our space for their pulmonary and respiratory rehabilitation clinic and at the start of 2025. we signed a 3-year Contract to enable them to continue to deliver this. We believe it is so important to be able to offer health care in the community, and this sits alongside Vita Health Care, who offer the NHS Talking Therapy programme from the centre 3 days a week. The Arc continues to host regular bookings for people of different faiths with weekly services from STB Church. Muslim study sessions with AMAS, a youth group with The Well Church and a monthly Iranian community group. We are proud to be a safe spac8 for all members of our community.
Funders POWEA E D B Y LEVELLING up Intelligent Energy, Garfield Weston FOUNDATION Whilst we rely on hirers for the bLJlk of our incorne, we have been fortunate enough to secure funding for a number of initiatives. We are extremely grateful to organisations who have appreciated the need for the services we provide and responded favourably to grant applications. The Garfield Weston Foundation awarded us a two-year grant in 2024 to help with running costs. This enabled us to cover our fuel bills for both years and we are very grateful for their contribution. Intelligent Energy responded favourably to our bid for funding to cover the cost of our instructor for the Over 60s exercise class and this enabled us to meet demand by putting on a 3rd class. It is a lifeline for many older people who need the specially tailored exercises and supporl our instructor, Danny, provides. Our biggest success in terms of funding in 2025 was an award from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, a Government Levelling Up initiative administered by Charnwood Borough Council. Their award of £80,000 enabled us to improve our kitchen, increase our energy efficiency and build a new patio area with canopy and furniture. This will enable us to use the Spa all year round and offer a covered area for activities and café seating. We are incredibly grateful and look forward to seeing the benefits of these improvements. Tesco, Shelthorpe, continue to be a great supporter of the charity with donations of prizes for our community events. We continue to benefit from the clothing bank in our carpark, receiving payment per ton of your unwanted clothing. bags and shoes and receive a small percentage from shopping done via E8syfundraising a free platform which we would love you to consider joining to help us in 2026 if you shop online. Perhaps you have your groceries delivered or book your holidays online - you can help us at no charge to yourself! {Fundraisin Chari Fundraisin Online You S end Online Brands Donate Eas undraisin
The Future 2025 was to be a year of consolidating our successes of 2024 and it is fair to say that we achieved that and so much more! We have continued to offer great community events and a variety of different opportunites, thanks to our hirers. 2026 will be focussed on developing that further and looking at our strategy for the future, including a 5 year plan. In order to help inform that, we will be going out to the community with a survey to find out what is important to you. We hope to launch this at Easter, both electronically and in hard copy and would like to encourage you to give us your feedback. What do you like about The Arc? What would you like to see more What can we do differently to meet your needs? As we have become busier we have taken the opportunity to look at our staffing and cover. We welcome Ang who will be in the ntre 3 days a week, undertaking admin and reception. Ang has volunteered at The Arc for 3 years so will be a familiar face to some of you and it is great to see how volunleering can open doors into employment. If you have time on your hands and are looking to improve your CV, coffle and talk to us. We will be increasing our footprint in 2026 by acquiring the land between the centre and the path rL5nning by the park. We intend to plant a community orchard and wildflower area. with some raised beds and benches, improving the biodiversity of the area and providing a managed green space. A generous private donation will allow us to buy native fruit trees and volunteers have already been secured to help with the planting. We don't underestimate the financial challenges 2026 will bring. Grants are becoming harder to come by, with funders preferring to support specific or vulnerable groups and a generic charity like ourself is less likely to fit their criteria but we will persevere. We are here for all residenls of the Grange Park, Shelthorpe, Fairmeadows and Woodthorpe estates and look fonNard to welcoming you soon.

Chalr's report: narrative forthe 2025 annual report Further to the SUC$sful 2024 and 2025 periods. The Arc has now evolved and stabilised- it has not only consolidated but developed with exciting new facilities for the community. 2025 has demonstrated the ability of The Arc's personnel to maintain the financial and operational stability first achieved in 2024. The Board of Trustees was strengthened with new members, effective finance and HR sub committees were developed to meet increased activity and a strategic planning committee continues to establish future needs. Each team has accelerated growth and administration strengths. UK Shared Prosperity Funding was secured, totalling £80k, allowing the for development of new facilities. a solar photovoltaiG System that has reduced energy bills, a large terrace. accompanying canopy and seating providing new break-out space. These, together with enhanced kitchen facilities have added to existing site features. Furlhemiore, the trustees are grateful for additional land acquired from William Davislcharnwood Borough Council. This will generate space for a larger garden and planned orchard. In addition. the land affords the opportunity not only to enlarge the car park but provide for future S106 developments. Owing to increased turnover, grant funding is now limited which quireS us to focus evermore so upon self-financing. This is a challenge we are starting to meet- however, it requires careful budgeting to fully manage. We remain indebted to our volunteer base- it continues to increase, providing new skills for ever-changing demands. Growth places additional demand on volunteer time with new facilities, repairs and maintenance, and this is where additional support becomes valuable. The annual Christmas tthank you. party continues for all and additional plans are under consideration for further events. Similarly, teambuilding for trustees and staff was initiated, again, with ongoing plans in pla Staff restructuring plans will be necessary to accommodate planned reduced hours from the Operations Manager with an Admin Assistant post being created to satisfy this. The Caretaker role has been fully integrated and remains ongoing. To date, further restructuring plans remain.
Brief financial summary: Room hire increased from £77.3k in 2024, to £86.8 (+12.30/0) and total turnover increased from £106k in 2024 to £189.1 k (+78.40/0) (the increase mainly due to the UKSPF). Grant funding down from £15.8k in 2024, to a £13,930 (-12 % ) unrestricted, but with £69,631restricted funding from the UKSPF. Restricted funding sat at £14.9k at the end of 2024 with £10.9k in 2025. Wages increased from £49.8k in 2024 to £63.3 (+27.1 % ) in 2025. All hourly-paid personnel are supported by the Real Living Wage rates. The strateglc reserved stands at 9 months of running costs, new banking facilities are installed and improved budgeting is in place.
