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





|||review and update health and safety policies<br>during the year and developed a new Covid 19<br>Risk Assessment and special conditions of hire<br>which were shared with all users of the<br>building|
|---|---|---|
|Statement confirming<br>whether the trustees have<br>had regard to the guidance<br>issued by the Charity<br>Commission on public<br>benefit|Para 1.18|The Trustees continue to be aware of the<br>Charity Commissions guidance on public<br>benefit and decisions taken by the Trustees<br>during the year reflect this.|

## **Achievements and Performance** 

SORP reference 



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