Chell Heath Residents Association Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 15 January 2023

The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the CIO for the year ended 15 January 2023.

Governance and management

The charity is a CIO operated under the rules of its constitution adopted 16[th] September 2015 as amended on 6[th] June 2023.

Methods adopted for the recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Trustees are elected annually by the members of the charity.

Aims and objectives

To further or benefit the residents of Chell Heath and the neighbourhood, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race, political views, religious beliefs, or any other differing opinions.

By associating together, the said residents, local authorities, voluntary and other organisations work to advance education and provide facilities in the interest of social welfare, for recreation and leisure time in order to improve the conditions of life for the residents.

To further these objectives the trustees shall have power:

Summary of the main activities undertaken

We have covered the summer holidays and the cost-of-living crisis with support, food, fun days, and activities. We did a Santa day completely free for our community to attend and handed out essential food hampers to our community to support as many people as possible over the Christmas period. We continue to have close contact with local police and Together for Childhood which is our local team for the NSPCC.

Public Benefit

The Trustees of the Charity are aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and have regard to it in their administration of the Charity.

Summary of the main achievements during the period

We have supported over 500 people across the year with food, cleaning items, hygiene items, a warm space, fun days, information, and signposting to other services.

We bring some funding in via donations but most of our funding comes in from grants that are applied for year-round. Without that much needed support from these grants we would be restricted on what services we can offer.

Our building is open all week and we have phone and home contact with elderly and disabled residents to help prevent isolation.

Financial review

The results for the year are set out on page 6.

The organisation’s policy on reserves

We do not have or keep reserves all funding is utilised to support our community.

Signed on behalf of the Trustees:
