3. Achlevements and perfomance
a. Bullding the Local Communlty- Events
As the pandernic continued to impart the community throughout 2021, soclal events were minimal
and many of these took place outside in fresh air to reduce Covid 19 transmission risk. We
supported a kiln building and firing event at Brandy 8ottom Colliery to ensure that loc81 community
members had the opportunity to take part in events that share the history of our community. We are
very proud ihat a selection of these pots, made by community members can be seen on a display in
our atrium.
Once Covid restrictions had relaxed. we were delighted to be able to pull the community together
with a Halloween Disco, Half-Term Story events, soft play and craft sessions and quiz nights. We held
fabulous Christmas Fayre, including a local Brass Band playing carols, stalls of locally produced
crafts and baked goods a5 well a5 the man in the big red Suit in his Christmas Storytime Grottol The
costs of each of these events was kept as low as possible in order to ensure that they were accesslble
and affordable to as many as possible. We also made clear that anyone who would like to attend but
wa5 Struggling financially should approach us as we could help with the costs. Thi5 offer was
accepted on several occasions and we provided free of charge places to those most in need.
All of these events were heavily supported, and made by possible by, our fantastic staff team,
volunteers and Trustees.

We are workin8 hard to improve our communicalM)n skills, enrolling all slaff on British Sign Language
classes with the goal of being able to communicate with the community in dtfferent ways.
d. Communicatin8 With the Communlty
We have continued to communicate using our monthly column in ihe local free newspaper
IEmer50n's Green Voicel and offer as many updates as we can uslng our soclal media platfomis, the
Communlty Notlce board ovtside the Centre and our websr¢e.
The Community Centre has been a fantastic method of sharing with the community what is
happening in the local area. We have many notice boards packed wilh events and activities. We also
promote local consultations and requests from the Council to encourage residents to have a stronger
voice in the community.
e. Developln8 the Assoclatlon
Across the course of the year, we have used our meetings to Share knowledBe and experience. We
propose that over the comin8 year we will introduce a formal training budget and provide further
opportunities for development for staff, volunteers, and trustees.
Growln8 the Board of Trustees
We have recruited new volunteers across the year and plan to contlnue thls work In the comlng year.
It Is Important to keep ￿freshIng those involved where we tan to gain new perspectives and
alternatlve vlews on the work we do. Our aim is lo encourage mernbers of our community to join our
Board of Trustee5.
This has been a real challenge for the Assoclatlon over recent years. The effects of the pandemic
have seen numbers of Trustees at their lowest point and recruitinB new volunteers has proved
extremely difficult. This is a key i55ue and attracting new Trustees 15 a priority over the comln8 year.
Summary ot publi¢ benefiis
In undertaking our work throughout the year, we have had regard to the Charities Commisslon
Guidance on Public Benefit including the 8uidance'public benefit: running a charity IPB21'.
In summary the LGCA has provided a number of benefits to those within our area of responsibility
and, indeed. many outside of the immediate area. We provide opportunities for members of the
community to meet others in the area. thus avoiding the potenlial pitfalls of social isolation. We
offer a variety of events and services through the Community cent￿ and also provide key
information about the local area. Our partnership work aims to provide an opportunity for rnany to
voice their thoughts and for those in positions of responsibility to be held to account. As a whole, the
work of the LGCA contributes to making Lyde Green a great place to live with a strong sense of place
and cornmunity.
4. Financial Review
At 31 March 2022, the charity had unrestricted funds of £62,759. designated fvnds of £10,991 and
restricted funds of £5.129. The Trustees a￿ pleased that the level of reserves has been maintained
from 2020-2021, particularly as the pandemic has impacted hire of the Community Centre during this
financial year.

LYDE GREEN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
TRUSTEES REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Reserye$ P¢llcy and Rlsk Mana8ement
Given the large liability of running the Community Centre. the Tfustees are working towards having a
consistent level of reserves that equates to at least nine rnonth5 of running costs. The continued
impact of the pandemic has highlighted the need for a reserves policy that covers many
eventualities, and the reseNes present at the end of the financial year have allowed the Trustees to
confidently recruit a new team to continue and expand the work of the charity whilst hirer income is
uncertain.
A separate sinking fund is in place, held as designated funds, as require(I by our current lease
agreement with the Council, to ensure that there are funds available for any unintended major
building repairs.
Golng concern
The trustees have revlewed the circumstances of the charity and consider that adequate resource5
continue to be available to fund the activities of the organisation for the foreseeable future. The
trustees are therefore of the view that the charity is a 8oin8 concern.
5. Structure, GovernaNe and Management
Governance
The LGCA is a Charitable Incorporated Orgènisation ICIOI and 15 8overned by a constltutlon which 15
available to vlew in full on our website.

As a community, these are just some of the traits we have shown throughout the entSrety of the

The strength this community has shown whilst dealin8 with a pandemic and its ever-changing news is
great example of resilience and, together we have shown how resilient we are by providlng
opportunities for re8rowth and regeneration in the community.
In this last year we have been thrilled to see not only returnin8 groups. clubs and activities to the
centre and Lyde Green but more than before bringing people of 311 backgrounds together socially to
fulfil their needs in socialisation, fttness and wellbein& health and support and much mo￿.
I have witnessed first-hand how group5 have come together from members of the community to
offer a welcorning support network for all, Downtime is one amazing example of this, Downtime has
grown from the idea5 of a lovely 8roup of residents from the community who really enjoy offering
support to others, lenilifig a helping hand and coming together whilst sharing their own skills and
learning new ones in the process. By facilitatin8 them to come together and offer the space and
support needed we have watched this group go from strength to strength and are proud of what

Rona the Rattlesnake. a communrty gesture and fun activity started by Helen Thompson wa5 moved
to her permanenl place outside the community centre and celebrated by all at a community event as
well as some of the beautiful covid artwork produced and donated by Julie Caswell which was given a
home inside the community centre. All things that can help us remember how we came together in a
time where we were pulled apart.
We were able to offer support through food L￿XeS for those who need a little extra help and
Christmas hampers for those nominated by their community for their action and support to others
during covid, all made possible with help from staff, trustees and volunteer5 from the communltv
collecting donations and making up boxes and hampers to suit the different needs of the recipients.
As well as this we have worked closety with local supermarkets Includlng local branches of Lidl and
Sain5bury5 who kindly offer a neighbourfy surplus tlonation to charities to be able to offer these
items out to the tornmunity so that they can 80 to good use instead of going to waste. These
donations are collected once twite weekly by our lovely centre staff and include store cupboard
Staples, bread, veBetables, fruit and flowers. Again, this is something we really enjoy beinB able to be
a part of. The communily are always so grateful for the things on offer and its especially lovely when
you can see how much joy a bunch of flowers can bring to someone when they are havlng a bad dav
or a dlfficult time.
1am so proud of how far we have come as a tharity as the assoclatlon and hub for our comrnunltv
and how far we as a community have come to get back on our feet and provide the regrowth our
communlty needed for the future. We are forever growing and changing and so our community wlll
8row and change with us and I'm certain the next yeaf wlll bring about more excitin8 OPPQrtunities
to continue creating a stron8 and safe communlty for all.
8y the lime you read this you will have seen some of the things WÈ are currently working towards for
April 2022-2023 includin8 making plan5 alongside Lyde Green Open Space with help from funders to
work on our community garden and planning community events for Her Majesty's Jubilee
celebrations, all thin85 I hope you will have had time to get Involved with and enjoy.
I have been very lucky to be a part of this community myself from 2015 and to have chaired the
association from the very be8innin8. With every aspect of charity responsibility, I have grown and
learnt along the way and am very thankful to be in such a rewardlng position within a great group of
