The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
We regularly review and update our policies, and introduce new policies as required
Volunteers
Our fantastic volunteers are an asset to the centre, who go above and beyond what is expected of them. Their commitment to the community does them credit.
The centre won some impact awards from Support Staffordshire, The Lunch Club Won the award for the Volunteering support for over 65’s. Our Manager Kim won a lifetime achievement award for Volunteering within the Local Community
One of our most committed volunteers was Carol Eager who won a Support Staffordshire commendation for volunteer of the year, before she sadly passed away in October. At the Trent and Dove Impact awards Carol’s Family were presented with a posthumous award for all the work Carol had done for the Winshill Community, and her name will be commemorated in the street name of a new development of bungalows.
All volunteers are D.B.S. checked and are offered training appropriate to their roles.
Achievements and Performance
At the core of WNRC is the range of Social and recreational offers we make to our community throughout the year .Seasonal events are also celebrated. Snack Attack, Breakfast club and Youth sessions ran weekly through the Summer Holidays at which almost 2000 nutritious meals were served to adults and children. These sessions also included entertainment e.g. Disco, Children's Entertainers, Inflatables with BBQ, Sport, Craft, Nature day on the washlands.
October brought family pumpkin carving, Halloween Children's Party and outdoor Trick or Treat event.
At Christmas there were Children's Parties, Visit and gifts from Santa and the spectacular Santa bikes riding through. Parcels were delivered to needy families and solitary older residents.
In Spring Mothers day parcels were delivered to 50 local Ladies, and The Easter Bunnies distributed chocolate Eggs to children of all ages! All the Centre events above were free to attend, though many users were happy to make a donation.
We have noted the impact on family budgets due to the cost of living crisis affecting the UK this year . More families are attending our sessions and there is an increase in people requiring additional support to make their housekeeping monies stretch furher . Accordingly we have extended the scope of our coffee mornings, now providing longer hours in a “place of warmth” and offering hot food.
Our volunteers have worked so hard in providing the ever-increasing number of food parcels, care packages and ‘give away bags’ of toiletries, cleaning materials etc. and also redistributed “too good to go” items from local supermarkets.
We are still lucky enough to have Farm Fresh revolution who provide fresh fruit and veg once a fortnight for 60 families.
We continue to offer Citizens Advice sessions for Winshill Residents Courtesy of W.P.C. Also baby clinics run by N.H.S.
This year saw the opening of our patio area, which is a lovely sunny spot surrounded by colourful planters. We now have outdoor furniture to extend our accommodation in the fine weather.
Inside the building we have had full redecorating as well as a number of renovations to maintain the standard of a comfortable attractive venue for all our users.
We now have a dedicated website wnrc.org.uk increasing our on line visibility.
During this year a Bleed Kit has been installed on the outside of our building which may one day help to save a life.
The centre acted as a collection point for aid for the Ukraine. Volunteers from all over Burton helped sort and pack the overwhelming quantity of donations which filled two large removal lorries
The centre celebrated the Queens Platinum Jubilee with the community, by having a Funday on the park, which was enjoyed by all. This was funded by the generosity of a local firm Russell Roof Tiles
Financial Review
Our Reserve level is documented in our Financial Control Policy. The amount that we hold in reserve is six months running cost, currently £21,000 these are held so that should our funding from the Parish Council cease then we will have this time to secure alternative funding.
No funds are held on behalf of others The Charity does not offer grants The Charity has no social investments
Funding
Our purpose in raising funds is to keep the centre open and staffed as much as possible, and to provide amenities for the community free to access, or at a minimum charge The annual grant from Winshill Parish Council goes a long way towards covering our running costs.
In addition this year we have been fortunate to receive other grants, from :- Strachan & Buxton Trust, Winshill Residents Association, Arnold Clark, A.S.D.A., Russell Roof Tiles,Neighbourly community Fund, East Staffordshire Borough Council ( Business Rates Relief),Trent and Dove Housing, Staffordshire County Council,Winshill Parish Council.
We are especially grateful for a generous private cash donation, which is given fortnightly and enables us to support our users in many ways.
