The Net Community Hub Trustees Annual Report 2023/24
The Net Community Hub has been designed to meet the intergenerational needs of the community, providing the basis for positive cohesion sought after by residents and which is considered a safe space with sound examples of good work practice.
Our main focus is to alleviate social isolation in the large number of vulnerable, elderly and isolated residents in the area.
The Net offers activities and opportunities modelled to meet the specific needs of individuals and/or groups, providing stepping stones to improving confidence and expanding the aspirations of the community.
The Hub provides opportunities for:
-
Residents to develop as volunteers
-
Communication and information
-
Residents to develop friendships and understanding
-
Specialist groups to meet and expand their knowledge, skills and expertise
-
Surgeries to take place e.g Hi Kent Deaf Aid
-
Space for activities and services (eg, hairdresser, podiatrist)
-
A base for community interest groups to work from
With the loss of some income generating hire groups, a new approach was instigated, with a move away from reliance on private hire to offering funded sessions where groups make a donation for the use of the facilities, which is proving to be a successful approach through which the Hub can continue to operate.
PROJECT FUNDING 2023/24
The restructure in Kent Community Foundation’s core funding meant we were able to submit just one application in December 2023 . As at March 2024, we had received £4,000 from one funder. We also successfully applied for National Lottery funding again, and were awarded £15,300 towards our activity costs in March.
The £1 per person per day model proved successful after its initial deployment and we have continued with it.
There were a number of small donations from various individuals and organisations.
ACTIVITIES
We’re now back to full strength in all our activities, consolidating the regular weekly sessions and introducing some new ones. Our programme now means the space is open for at least a
morning or afternoon every day except Sunday, with some sessions extended to accommodate the Warm Spaces initiative at lunchtime three times a week during the winter - one that we had already introduced prior to it becoming a national scheme! Other sessions take place monthly, along with many one off drop in services, workshops and celebration events,
Our community regularly feeds back to us how valuable they find the hub, with one stating:
“It changed my life. I used to be shut up but I’ve got a new family. I used to go drinking to find company but now I’ve found friends at the hub and I’ve not had an alcoholic drink in 4 months because I don’t need it, because I’m not on my own and lonely. Since coming here I know it is important for us to have this place to come to and stop isolation like mine. It has made me feel like a real person rather than when I was in deep depression and had too much time on my hands to think.”
FINANCES
We increased the hourly rate for activity coordinators and cleaner to £12 in line with the national living wage, having budgeted for this in the lottery funding, along with volunteer expenses and a travel bursary for people who need it.

THE NET COMMUNITY HUB CIO INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31st March 2024
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024 which are set out below
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to: examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
