| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | To advance in life and relieve needs of young people resident in Northwich and its surrounding areas through the provision of recreational and leisure time activities provided in the interest of social welfare, designed to improve their conditions of life and providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals. To further or benefit the residents of Northwich and its surrounding areas, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by associating together the said residents and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
We continue to provide premises and facilities for many Community and Youth groups within the Northwich area. We have once again maintained without increase a very cost- effective hourly hire rate of £10. As a Charity we continue to support Youth and Community groups by maintaining low charges and absorbing all the other associated costs of running a complex building that requires a substantial amount of ongoing maintenance. The Covid-19 pandemic did impact markedly on our activities to 31st March 2021 as user groups had to cease activities and we ‘mothballed’ the building for large tracts of the year. We continued with ourprogramme to |
| review and update health and safety policies during the year and developed a new Covid 19 Risk Assessment and special conditions of hire which were shared with all users of the building |

Achievements and Performance
SORP reference
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | The year was dominated by the Covid emergency and a large swath of income from hirers was replaced by Covid 19 grants. At various times we continued with a good mix of groups using the Centre encompassing Sports, Youth Groups, Music, Disability (SEND) Groups, Dance groups and we also provided space in our upstairs offices for Probation Services – although given the governmental reorganisation they departed shortly after the year end. We were successful in attracting local authority and Lottery Covid grants during the year and achieved a surplus for the year of £24524 on turnover of £54531. £12534 was spent on repairs and renewals including grant funded carpets and decorating costs. We expect that additional costs will be incurred in 2021/2022 as we install new blinds (grant funded) windows and refurbish our ground floor toilets. We are also investigating a major scheme to refurbish and modernise our much loved but dated building. We continue to hold good reserves in our Bank Account and have Investments with M&G and Blackrock. The Investments are ‘specie funds’ and cannot be utilised without Charity Commission approval. Stock Market falls associated with Covid-19 seen at our previous year end have reversed to a large extent. We also own the Freehold Property housing the Youth Centre and the long-term lease in respect of the adjacent Propertyknown as Baxter House. |
