CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
Introduction
As the new incumbent it has been an interesting learning curve taking over from
the seasoned stewardship of Pat, I think it is fair to say the staff have experienced
a difference in leadership style and I don't think it's a positive or negative change,
after so many years it's just different but they have coped remarkably well.
Successes
The last AGM brought us a new wave of trustees bringing us up to 10, we hope
to continue this recruitment until we reach the 12-seat capacity. The year has
had an increase of events which is down to the dedication of our staff and has
helped raise much needed funds.
The securing of a full building survey was a major advancement in having a strong
template for all future building plans.
Concerns
The Loss of the A31 participation group as a regular hirer was a blow, however
the hard work and dedication of Miranda who has increased the conversion rate
of enquiries and the support of Marie has meant this has not been felt anywhere
near as it could have been. Going forward we must give more consideration to
overheads both of the centre, as in staffing and operational costs and the turnover
of services like the Tuesday Day Care. Rationalisation and careful management
all help the bottom line.
Future Plans
The Future is an incredibly positive one, since I joined the trust I've focused on
making the centre fit for purpose for the next 25 years. Step l of this was to
secure the CIL funding (£667k), which allows us to add several new ground floor
rooms to the centre, a lift, new toilet serving rooms 5/6 but more importantly a
new entrance giving the centre far more presence.
Phase 2 will restore the main hall giving it a sprung dance floor, open the roof
space and include heritage windows, this part of the restoration will be named
after Pat Lerew MBE in honour of her long-dedicated service. During this time,
we'll open the wall between the café and hall with opening acoustic wall panels
between the two. The floor will then be opened over the river, with a new glass
topped lit section.
As the centre enters its 50th year, great thought is being given to events and
ways to mark this.

Thanks
A sincere thanks go out to our Staff, Regular Hirers, Members, Peter & Catherine
without whom the centre would not function. I'd like to thank EHDC & ATC for
their support and also County Councillor Andrew Joy. Altonian Care and the U3A
who both call the centre home. To the many grant giving bodies that we have
been successful with this year and lastly but certainly not least to the Members
and Public whose continued support is the single most important engagement.
My fellow trustees have been invaluable but I'd like to single out Helen and Lewi5
for their hard work over the year and also take this opportunity to thank Sally
Laker who left us earlier in the year.

OPERATIONS MANAGER'S REPORT
INTRODUCTION
Last year was another positive year for the Community Centre as we discuss
celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Alton Community Association and we have been
awarded a large grant to refurbish the Centre.
We have embraced our fundraising events including old favourites such as the
Christmas Cracker, Children's Discos and Psychic Fairs as well as introducing new
events such as Salsa Nights, Polar Express Film with hot chocolate station and Quiz
Night.
We have welcomed new regular hirers, sadly said goodbye to a few and enjoyed new
events making their home here such as the ship show, sound bath and vinyl fair and
we are excited to see U3A extending their already comprehensive programme.
We are pleased to continue to welcome, support and be supported by such a wide
range of hirers and Centre Users. It really does bring a unique variety to our everyday
which we all very much appreciate
POSITIVES
The grant for refurbishment is a huge positive for the future of the building and will
add many benefits for our current hirers.
We were one of the venues to host various events during the first Alton Arts Festival,
this was a great success and a hugely popular and appreciated event for the town.
We look forward to next year's event and hope to be a part of this again. Following
on from this, Alton Arts Festival organisers have continued to run a monthly Life
Drawing class.
The Community Club continues to provide a warm and joyful environment for it's
members and interest in this continues to increase. Kat and Suzie look after the
members with great affection and this makes such a difference to the members and
families alike. We have increased the flexibility of this service, enabling respite for
different circumstances.
We have housed multiple community organisations over the past year who have no
budget and would not be able to function without help in this area, these organisations
have been extremely grateful and it has been a pleasure to see the difference this
makes to those involved.
The Lounge Bar and Café are both hugely popular and are keeping busy. Both breathe
life into the Centre and make a huge difference to the atmosphere of the building.
The cafe acts as a natural social point for people and offers great comfort to many
who spend a lot of their time alone, the warm welcome from Peter as well as
opportunity to interact with others is great for tackling loneliness. The Lounge Bar is
putting on regular events as well as organising the Radar Festival which is an
enormous undertaking so huge congratulations to the Lounge Bar team. The Lounge
Bar have also updated their equipment and lighting for even more wow factor on

stage.
Our Board of Trustees has Increased dramatically and brings a variety of skills,
experience and has brought vibrancy and fresh perspectives to compliment the
memory and experience of longer serving board members.
The 50th Anniversary is a wonderful opportunity to reminisce and honour past years
and celebrate. Plans are underway which should involve welcoming many people
through our doors past, present and newcomers alike.
CONCERNS
Rising costs including another large jump in the minimum wage is a cause for financial
concern despite employing less staff than in previous years.
Alton is lucky for community spaces and all venues have in our experience worked in
harmony, respecting each other. For the first time, we have been subject to another
organisation actively attempting to take hirers from this venue to their own. We are
very pleased to know that we have the loyalty of our regular hirers and appreciate
the feedback we have got back regarding our level of service but this was not a good
experience and there has been some damage caused.
As much as the refurbishments will bring more useable and accessible spaces, this
has brought concern for hirers who worry they will be displaced during the process.
We have spent some time trying to reassure Centre Users that this will be a phased
procedure targeting quiet times of the year for areas which would cause the most
disruption and our plan is to reallocate rooms in-house with as little to no
inconvenience to Centre Users.
The Community Club needs financial help and we are looking into funding to help this
valuable service continue it's work improving the lives of members and their
families/carers at an affordable rate to ensure it remains accessible for all.
FUTURE PLANS
Celebrating our 50th Anniversary is at the forefront of our thoughts at present with
exciting events to follow so please watch this space for our upcoming celebrations.
We hope these will offer something for everyone and involve the whole town.
The refurbishments will bring exciting improvements, extra space and accessibility for
hirers as well as preserving the life of the building itself for future generations to
enjoy.
Continuing our current work enabling social interaction, life events and providing
support in a warm welcoming and affordable environment.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
TREASURER'S REPORT
The Association showed a steady position for this fmancial year wilh both income and expenditure broadly in line with
the previous ycar. Of the income from trading activilics of £210,4K thL majority was from room hirL' wh¢r¢ receipts ol.
£113.4K werc a 18.60/0 improvem¢nt on the previous ycar. Other activities conlributed evenly or slightly improved. Two
sources of income will not be appearing in fvture years for th¢ Association. First is due to the ACA no long¢[ managing
the Alton Assembly Rooms and second is the decision by the organisers of the Jane Austen Regency Week to manage
that activity separalcly from the AC.A. This years iiicome of £ I4.6K from A&sembly rooms less £10.8 dircct costs we
anticipate being eovcrcd by Increas￿ revenue from core s¢rviccs. Thc Regency Week net contribution was £4.5K which
was bcfore allowing for centre staff time and resource. The ACA believes that ¢ffectiV¢ Use of thc resource n)ade
available should r¢cover the shortfall in the year ahea(L
Thc value of donations and legacies to the Association was 250/0 lower than in 2023 at £68.2K. Whilc r¢cognising th&t
these sources of income are inherently discretionary, thc trustces remain alert to opportunitie& that arise from
organisations and individuals seeking to support the communiiy objcctives and arc confidcnt that the level of in¢orn¢
will not reduce this year.
Careful management throughout th¢ y¢ar has rc.sultcd in a 20/0 reduction in overall expenditure to £283.5K despite
general infiation remaining pcrsistcnt for much of Ihc period. Trustees anticipate eo$ts rcmaining at similar level for
202412025. rccognising that indirect costs relating to th¢ Assembly Rooms and Regency Week will no longer be
attracted.
Takcn as a whole. the Associalion appear¥ in a gFood position to build a stronger finuncial footing ovcr the coming y¢ar
with the cou¢ct controls in place to fully levcrage the add¢d resource that the CIL award will allow us to build.
