Whitchurch (Cardif) Community Associaton

Charity number: 1165385

Whitchurch Community Centre Old Church Road Whitchurch

Cardiff

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 March 2024

Trustees:

• Jonathan Morgan (Chair)

• Linda Morgan

There have been continued vacancies for Trustees in the current year despite attracting two individuals who have been keen to support the work of the charity.

The Trustees have again considered how to recruit from the local community and other organisations. We have been successful in identifying people who are keen to join the Trustees, and who have attended our meetings and we have now decided to actively approach the local community through a leaflet drop to talk about the work of the charity and the importance of the services that are supported through the Community Centre.

Our 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, and in light of the shortage of community facilities in the area demand for our centre remains high.

The annual audited accounts are attached. Again, this year we have 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. We have ensured that our procedures are up to date and all necessary safety inspections have been conducted satisfactorily.

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.
