Plawsworth and Kimblesworth Community Centre and Recreation Ground (Charity No: 1174075) (https://www.nettlesworthcommunitycentre.co.uk) _Annual General Meeting, June 13[th] , 2023_ ## **Trustees’ Annual Report** The charity, which began as a CIO on 1[st] January 2018, has the following aims: _The objects of the CIO are to run a Community Building and to promote, for the benefit of the inhabitants of Kimblesworth and Plawsworth Parish and Sacriston parish (“area of benefit”) without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, nationality, race or political, religious or other opinions, the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the conditions of life of the said inhabitants._ This report covers the period from June 2022 to June 2023. The current trustees are: John Barclay (Chair); George Kendall (Vice-Chair); Lisa Walker (Bookings Secretary); Lillian Walker; Heather Liddle (Treasurer); Diana Barclay (Minutes Secretary); Bill Jackson (appointed by Kimblesworth and Plawsworth Parish Council). Peter Beard resigned as a Trustee during the course of the year, for family reasons. Our constitution allows a minimum of 6 and maximum of 12 Trustees The Management Committee of the Centre consists of the Trustees and meets every month. Membership of the Charity is open to any member of the community, on completion of an application form. The Nettlesworth Centre continues to be used by a wide range of groups, and continues to be an important hub for our villages and the surrounding community. The Sacriston Youth Project continue to be an ‘anchor-tenant’ and makes excellent use of the building; one room (the Conference Room) has been designated as an SYP Youth Room. Other regular users during the period of this report include: The Community Café; Little Stars; Mini Melodies; two Dog Training groups; Sugarcraft; Durham Music Theatre; the Parish Council; and a local arts group. The Centre and the Recreation Ground were the site of a hugely successful family Fun Day both in June 2022 and in June 2023. The funding for these events was largely supplied by the Parish Council. We hope to make this an annual tradition. With the loss of gas heating in the main building, we were able to install Infrared heaters in the main hall and the Canteen, which have proved successful. The rise in energy costs has hit our finances hard: both electricity and gas bills have been hugely higher this year. We still have plans for significant refurbishment of the building, and have commissioned D3 to provide an options report. The Trustees have agreed priorities for refurbishment, but we are unable to progress until the new lease is in place. The Council are working with the Lambton Estates and with CISWO to resolve this matter, but we are currently in limbo. The building remains just adequate, but refurbishment would allow a significant enhancement of our activities, We have a number of ambitious plans for the development of the building and the attraction of new users. We are hugely grateful for the hard work undertaken by Peter Beard, in relation to our buildings maintenance. We also record here our immense gratitude for the faithful and efficient work performed by Lisa Walker, our Bookings Secretary, and for the energy, vision and highly effective administration performed by Heather Liddle, our Treasurer.
