Activities of the Charity

Winthorpe Community Partnership is a resident led collaboration between residents and service providers from NHS, council, police, housing association and others with the aims of providing the community with more choice, more opportunities and increase local knowledge and skills to make our community a happier healthy inclusive place to live. Along side all of this we run clubs and activities.

We confirm the trustess have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.

Achievements and Performance

I`m immensely proud to be writing a report as a trustee of the Winthorpe Community Partnership.

I have been involved with this community driven group for over eight years now, with them growing from strength to strength. Over this time we have seen the volunteers and members strive to improve the local area with incredible results, some examples of this can be seen though the reduction in anti-social behaviour experienced by our residents thanks to the engagement of our young people who were often simply bored and without a way of expressing themselves, who in turn came up with solutions such as the fantastic free to use skate ramp grant funded and planned for by the wonderful volunteers. Although this had proved extremely popular, the play area is now under control of another council and unfortunately the ramp has been removed due to it having reached its end of life, however we are looking to access further grant funding to return this asset

The partnership also continues to strive to offer more for our children & young people and we are getting closer to installing football posts at the local recreation ground, which we hope to see being installed at during 2024, once again offering another free to use activity. However, the focus of the partnership has and continues to be about the engagement of all our residents and the comeback from the devastating impact that Covid had on our community. With support from our funding partners it is a pleasure to see the resurrection of a weekly list of groups and activities being offered such as Knit and Knatter, Karate lessons, Coffee mornings, Fitness and friends group activities, an Arts & crafts group and upbeat music sessions, all which supports mental health and wellbeing. These activities are very well attended and hugely popular, none more so than our very popular lunch club offered every Wednesday which offers a superb value for money two course meal with drink from only £6 and due to the ongoing success now offering two sittings

For the last two years we have also been offering a much needed and liked second hand charity shop offering good quality used clothing, small electrical equipment, shoes, books, crockery and much more, quality, cheap items, which offers families on low incomes, low costs goods, including a school uniform swap and shop, whilst generating a much needed income to help cover some of our running costs.

It is clear that our partnership continues to grow from strength to strength and we are still progressing with our plan to buy the buildings and land we occupy and to deliver a purpose built community building offering additional services such as space for health & wellbeing consultations, access to council service and much more, of course none of this would be possible without our community coordinator, who ensures the residents are accessing what is most needed at a time where the cost of living is so high and we the trustees would like to put on record our huge thanks.

We would also like to thank our funding partners, Tudor Trust, National Lottery, Shine among others who have supported the partnership over the years and helped to establish a well-known, trusted support hub that continues to be a vital lifeline for many families and individuals living in Winthorpe and surrounding

Financial Review

The charity held £50,250 cash in hand and at bank at the end of the period. Total expenditure in the year amounted to £46,419 and total income was £63,258. The charity receives grants from other organisations to fund the majority of our work. Any clubs that the charity runs (the Lunch Club, Youth Club etc) are expected to be self funding with any excess of income used for administration costs. All drinks are free at present but most people put a donation in for them.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Winthorpe Community Partnership

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Winthorpe Community Partnership for the year ended 30 September 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

2. the accounts do not accord with those records.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
