## **Tanterton Village Centre Limited Annual Report of Trustees to 31[st] March 2025**
This Report covers the twelve-month period from 1[st] April 2024 to 31[st] March 2025 inclusive. The Trustees during this reporting period were Peter Mason (Chair), Liz Soole, Sharon Zdan-Michjlowicz, Janet Thompson, Bruce Ellison, Bill Shannon (resigned August 2024) and Alan Brookes.
In general terms usage of the Centre for activities, events and for the cafe was maintained. This applies to usage by both the young people of our community and usage by older members. On a quarterly basis there were some 1660 plus visits to Centre promoted activities with 800 plus visits to the cafe, not including takeaways. There were some 270 plus visits for 'room hire' activities, a significant increase. This figure does not include the now regular Sunday worship sessions by two separate church groups. The average quarterly total of 2737 shows an eight per cent increase in usage over the previous reporting year. This number is greater than the total number of recorded visits in the last pre-pandemic quarter to 31[st] March 2019; _Q4(2019)_ .
The youth clubs on Monday, Tuesday and Friday evenings were well attended with twenty plus per session on occasion. The young teen years youth club on Tuesday evening is run in partnership with volunteers from the Preston North End Community Education Trust (PNECET). The Friday evening sessions are now run in partnership with the 'Freedom Church'. To help Ryan run these activities for the young people we had recruited a part- time youth worker, Lewis Brown, early in 2024. Lewis gave Ryan the necessary 'eyes in the back of his head'. The Neighbourhood Council previously agreed to part fund the appointment. Due to a reducing attendance at the Monday evening youth group Lewis was let go at end of November. During the long Summer holiday the Centre took part in the Holiday Action Fund (HAF) programme in partnership with PNECET. Over a period of five weeks the Centre provided activities for and fed lunch to up to twenty children a day. It was considered a success. The Summer Club was funded by a grant from the Police and Crime Commissioner. We provided more of our services by working in partnership with other agencies such as PNECET and the 'Freedom Church'.
The Centre continued to promote a mobility class on Tuesday mornings run by a qualified external coach. There was a chair aerobics session run by the Centre on Wednesday mornings. Both activity sessions are aimed at improving the physical well being of the less able and active in our community, all at a minimal charge. Attendance is up to fifteen per session. The Wednesday morning class is followed by a 'brunch'. The 'Friendship' group met regularly on Wednesday afternoons, aimed at improving mental well being and countering loneliness and social isolation among our older residents. The group arranged a trip to the pantomime Lowther Pavilion. Other trips out from the Centre have included Grange-over-Sands, Chester, and a garden centre in Carnforth. Transport for these trips is often through a 'self drive' Preston Community Transport mini bus and is funded through grants to the Centre. The Centre hosted a martial arts class on two evenings a week with the 'Preston Street Defence' self defence class. There are now established Taekwon-do classes for pre teens and young teen years early on Thursday evenings. There have been cinema showings at the Centre from time to time.
Preston City Council held 'money advice' sessions on a 'by appointment' basis. The Tanterton Centre continued to be an agent for the local ShareIT emergency foodbank, although still with minimal uptake. Local social housing landlord Places for People (PfP) hosted regular 'drop-in advice and referral' sessions on a 'by appointment' basis for their Tanterton tenants. The 'Freedom Church' and another two church based groups regularly used the Centre for worship at weekends. The Centre again hosted a 'volunteer day' run by local social landlord 'Places for People' (PfP). The day was based around litter picking and generally tidying up the PfP Tanterton estate. The Centre took an increasing number of room hire bookings at weekends.
The Centre hosted a 'Preston Youth Forum' Networking Event in December 2024 and now regularly attend 'Youth Forum' Events. These are proving positive in helping deliver activities for our young people. These Youth Forum meetings have resulted in the development and publication of 'Preston's Youth Strategy',
The Centre was used on a monthly basis for the public meetings of the Ingol and Tanterton Neighbourhood Council, appropriate as they are a major grant funder of the Centre. It also hosted the Ingol and Tanterton PACT public meetings, also now on monthly basis. The Centre was used as a polling station for the 2024 General Election.
Incidents of anti social behaviour among a minority of local youth have reduced, however, electric bikes/scooters ridden by older youth/young adults were a significant nuisance in the Tanterton area. It had started to deter attendance by younger children. This nuisance is being tackled by a Police and community initiative following concerns raised at the local PACT meetings.
The Centre had a breakfast cafe open from 8.30am until 1.00pm, Monday to Friday, and is also opened for Sunday lunch.
The Trustees continued to carefully monitor any expenditure. Work on the backlog of renewals to fixtures and fittings has continued. The Centre's CCTV system was further upgraded with the help of a grant from the Police and Crime Commissioner. There has been one broken pane of glass during the reporting year.
Work on the 'Garden Project' to 'improve our offering through enhancing the Centre's infrastructure' by creating a garden and outdoor useable space at the Centre was carried out through late Summer and completed in October 2024. Construction work was undertaken by local contractor Landscape Engineering with design and supervision by CIC Proffitts. Many thanks to the project funders; Preston City Council, Ingol and Tanterton Neighbourhood Council and, not least, the Lancashire Environmental Fund.
We completed a renewal of our Lease of the Centre with our landlord Preston City Council for a further ten years until April 2034.
Regarding cash flow; total grant income was £80327, this figure includes restricted grant income of £37000 specifically for the garden project; income from activities and events; including gross refreshment income and donations was £18549; giving a total income for the reporting year of £98876. Outgoings on the garden project were £45314, on salaries and Centre promoted activities including minibus hire were £35532; on utilities, telephone, insurances and cleaning were £10889; on repairs and renewals was £4490; on administration and office functions, including necessary licences and any legal fees were £2212 and on refreshment costs was £1006; giving total outgoings of £99443. This gave a small operating loss for the reporting year. The Trustees aim to have free reserves to cover three months operating costs and associated employment costs.
Many thanks to all our funders and partners for their support; specifically the Lancashire Environmental Fund, the National Lottery 'Reaching Communities' Fund, the Ingol and Tanterton Neighbourhood Council for their commitment to continue with grant funding the Centre, Preston City Council, local social housing landlord 'Places for People' and the Police and Crime Commissioner.
A core issue for the Trustees continued to be the recruitment of suitable additional helpers to run activities on a volunteer basis
