Crabtree Farm Community Association CIO Summary of the matn actlvltles undertaken for th• publk bonefit Our activities are based on the identified needs of local people for example just rentlY we carried-out a questionnaire with our users and the nearby residents as to what they felt were the needs of the locality and what activities were a priority. Th8 main issues were tackling food poverty and ensuring people yre getting support with universal credit and other benefits. This set the agenda for us to seek funding to deliver benefit advice from the (t and establish a fwd bank. Publlc benefft statsmont The Trustees confimi that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefrt, 'Charities and Public Benefir. Summary of the maln achiovements durlng the perlod We have maintsined local services despite the local authority reducing fijnding to the C8ntre. Our programme of activities has increased and we are reaching out to far more people despite the reduced funding. However, to offset this deficlt we have been more focussed on bringing in additi'onal funding. Flnanclal revlew We are confidenl that our fund raising initiatives combined with the increased amount of income derived from room bookings will enable us to meet our commitsnents for 2026 and 2027. Any surplus we make is 'ploughed' back into the centre. Our staffsng overheads are virtually non-existent and therefore as long as we meet the utility costs ¥ve should be able to keep the doors 'open'. The charitys policy on rnservos The trustees have agreed that there should be some reseNes kept but these should not be exorbitant (i.e. in the region of £8,000) as the bulk of the money should be spent on the community. Financlal risk Our financial risk cOnmS the lo1 authority. wlth we are discussing the signing of a lease (for up to 21 years). The local authority have suggested a figure for this lease and a rental which at present we can meet but rf these were lo be raised significantly it Vuld be drffiCU to meet. Similarty we would also be responsible for the up keep of the building and any repairs - should we quire some major building work at the centre (that we are currently unaware ofj then this could severely deplete our funds.
