Fegg Hayes Futures Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 March 2023
The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2023.
Governance and management
The charity is a CIO operated under the rules of its constitution adopted 18 March 2016 and amended 14 October 2019. The CIO was registered with the Charity Commission on 18 March 2016 and commenced its operation on 11 April 2016.
Public Benefit
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Aims and objectives
To further or benefit the residents of Fegg Hayes and the surrounding area, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions, by associating together the said residents and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations, in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities, in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation, with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents. In furtherance of these objects but not otherwise, the Trustees shall have the power to establish or secure an establishment of a community centre and to maintain, manage or co-operate with any statutory authority, in the maintenance and management of such a centre, for the activities promoted by the Charity in furtherance of the above objects.
Methods adopted for the recruitment and appointment of new Trustees
Fegg Hayes Methodist Church Council may appoint three trustees. Other trustees are elected by the membership.
Summary of the main activities undertaken
The words that people often use to describe our organisation is ‘welcoming’ and ‘safe’. This is not only what we hear in the Hub but also fed-back to us from staff in schools, in the ‘My Streets’ report compiled by the NSPCC team working in the local area and from health and social care staff working in the area. We are fortunate that, because we have a large team of volunteers, in our activity sessions we have team members who can spend time talking to people and we often find people sharing their feelings and concerns and state that they would not ordinarily talk about these issues but that they feel it is a safe environment to do so. Several people describe us as ‘home from home’ and our growing team of volunteers have mainly come from people attending sessions and wanting to get more involved.
The Hub is in use 6 or 7 days a week, our programme varies across the year, but we have approximately 12 activity sessions led by ourselves, either alone or in partnership with others and 8 sessions run by other groups. This number rises over the school holidays as we put on extra activities for families. We also host meetings and training sessions along with children’s birthday parties and community events. Even with groups who hire the Hub we aim to be more than just a venue. Some of our volunteers also volunteer with other groups or participate in the activities.
Our programme includes activities for all ages and groups in the community including parent and toddler groups, after school groups, martial arts groups for children and young people, creative activities for adults and a lunch club for older people. We also offer support for individuals through our community lounge, run in partnership with Stoke on Trent City Council and through befriending, the provision of food parcels and foodbank vouchers and through signposting to other services.
