Whitchurch Community Centre Old Church Road Whitchurch Cardiff
TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 March 2023

There have been continued vacancies for Trustees in the current year following the death of Tim Davies and Peter Holmes, and the resignation of Michael Jones-Pritchard.
The Trustees considered how to recruit from the local community and other organisations where in particular we have active churches and third sector bodies. We have been successful in identifying people who are keen to join the Trustees, and who have attended our meetings, but are yet to formally become Trustees. It is expected that we will be able to formally recruit next year.
A manager continues to be in post for the day to day running of the centre and is paid on an hourly rate as necessary reporting to the committee on the bookings, overall management and opportunities to reach those who might want to use the centre. The activities and objectives of the charity are to provide a meeting place and functions for the people of Whitchurch and the immediate vicinity.
The annual audited accounts are attached. There are sufficient funds to cover maintenance and repairs to the building, and the charity retains a positive relationship with our landlord, Cardiff Council from whom we rent the building at a peppercorn rate.
No funds are held on account as custodial trustees.
The Charity Trustees are pleased that following the pandemic our activities have returned to a normal pattern with local organisations returning to use the centre to the benefit of the local community.
