Addltlonal details of objectives and actlvltles O tlonal Infonnatlon Everyone who lives in the parish of Kingsclere who is 18 or over is automatically a member of the association. We are a community organisation and promote the Fieldgate Centre with the tag line "Our community, our place". We therefore strive to ensure the facility is available for all and that there are activities that as many as possible can participate in. To achieve this however we do need volunteers to support the association in a range of roles undertaking many different tasks. The contribution of our volunteers is fundamental to the success of the Association and we are always looking for more people to volunteer. All trustees and committee members give their time voluntarily and receive no remuneration or other benefits. We do not receive extemal funding for operational activities so generating revenue through use of the centre is essential along with the work of the volunteers. You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about: policy on grantmaking; policy programrne related investment; contribution made by volunteers. TAR March 2012

Total visits to the facilities based at the Fieldgate Centre were in the region of 52,0(Xl.

A range of local Kingsclere sports clubs use the centre as a base for training and home matches. cricket, football and rugby training took place and the Association supported these activities. Summary of the main achlevements of the charlty during the year A series of Play Days for children were run during the summer holiday which saw over 1400 children, parents/grandparents/carers attend. We ensured entry to the Play Days was free ensuring there was no affordabilty barrier to entry. Over the past few years the Association has njn a major free community fun day. In June 2024 a free community fun day took place. As well as a range of activities live music was laid on for entertainment in the evening. Over 800 people attended through the day. The Association ran a regular Meet-up throughout the year which was free and open to all but with a good number of elderly attendees. A range of activities were run at the Meet Up including a Christmas Party. Transport was laid on for any who required it allowing attendance at the events run by the charity. This was aimed at reducing social isolation and aiding social inclusion in the community. Working with the Klngsclere Players, eight pantomime performances were staged in the run up to Christmas. This community-based production was enjoyed by a audience total of over 860. In June 2024 a comedy play, Stepping Out, was staged with four public performances. This was well attended. The Association supported the production of the shows enabling a significant number cast and crew to r8hearse and prepare for stage shows throughout the year. This activty enabled the development of community involvement and improved social cohesion. Other Christmas activities included a cabaret and a Christmas Sing- Along run with the Kingsclere Singers and Kingsclere Players, two of the communty groups that use the centre for rehearsals and performances. A series of Repair Cafe events were held. These are free events and the service provided allows a range of domestic items to be repaired to allow continued use saving money for the individual and reducing waste. The Association facilitated a book sale in the community centre for the local community library. This event brought many into the centre for this community event. The Association refreshed the Social Area used for many activities. New carpet was fitted and new tables and chairs were purchased leading to an overall improvement of the space for social interaction. Th8 hall chairs were also replaced. Not only did this provide good quality seating but it also increased the seating capacity for shows and activrlies. Financially the association has remained on a sound footing and operationally it has demonstrated it delivers benefit to the community. The support and goodwill shown by the community continues and this has translated into increased usage and social interaction at the community centre. TAR March 2012
Section E Financial review The association aims to hold sufficient SerVeS in cash to allow up to six months of operating costs to be covered if there is any shortfall in income. This inevitably would reduce the profitability of the association so the reserves must be replenished in as short a period as possible. rtainly less than 12 months to ensure the charity remains in a financially sustainable position. Brief statement of the charity's policy on reserves Details of any funds materially In deflclt Not applicable - the Association has a healthy financial position. Further flnanclal revlew detalls (Optlonal Informatlon) There are four revenue str8ams for the association; hire income, events, revenue from the FieSdgate Social Club Ltd and grants. Hire income, events and the surplus income generated by the Fieldgate Social Club Ltd paid to the KCA cover the operational costs of wnning the centre. Hire and events income is generated by activities that are within the charity's area of benefit. Surplus income and grant income (see below) is used to run community activities. Grant income Is used to improve and update the facilities. Grant income is also sought to run discrete community activities such as Play Days and Meet Ups for the elderly. Where grant funding is for community centre infrastructure this is equivalent to capital spend and is investment to ensure the longer-term availability of The Fieldgate Centre for the community. Event income is used to supplement improvement and updating work. This assists with any grant requirement to match funding. You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about: the charity's principal sources of fvnds (including any fundraising); how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.

Creditors and Accruals amount to £32,432. £2,000 is working capital funding from Basingstoke and Deane. £2.070 is for deposits paid by hirers and for 2024 2025 costs yet to be paid. The remaining amount is an accrual for various grant funds received but not yet spent. This money is held as an accrual as it is to be spent on specific Kingsclere Community Association activities, infrastructure improvements or materials so cannot be treated as an asset although the spend when it occurs will be of benefit to the association. If the KCA does not spend money as specified in grant agreements it has an obligation to repay unspent funds. Conclusion 2024-2025 was a successful year. Whilst the financial results clearly demonstrate a healthy position of more significance is the increased and more extensive use of the community centre. For comparison in 2017 - 2018 there were approximately 35,300 visits to the Fieldgate Centre facilities. During 2024 - 2025 this figure was in the region of 52,000. The KCA'S objective is to support the well-being of the community. The overall increased usage of the community centre along with the associated income has ensured the social enterprise run by the KCA has a sound financial footing that will enable it to continue to ser+/e the community. lan Bowés.
