Mike Jones Pritchard
Whilst the charity in the past year has attempted to recruit additional Trustees, I am pleased to report that Mike Jones Pritchard has returned as a Trustee and has been actively engaged in supporting the activities of the charity.
During the past year we have seen some innovation at the Community centre with a Tabletop Fayre organised by our centre manager which brought in new people to the building and raised additional funds.
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. We have seen an increase in the number of organisations using the community centre on a regular basis and community bookings remain high.
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 is significant. The Trustees are also considering improvements to the facilities such as exploring the use of solar panels and potentially the addition of a prefabricated building to provide a waiting area and coffee lounge.
The annual festival was again a success this year, partnered with a local cancer charity called Maggies.
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.
