Trent Lane, Nottingham NG2 4DF

- Annual Report 2024 25

Financial Review

The past year has been very challenging and stressful for many community associations. Greenway has had to use its reserves to pay for minor repairs, painting and clean-up which was always provided prior to the section 114 being issued. This has been a reduction in our reserves but take solace that all community associations in Nottingham are facing the same challenges. The Centre in now looking at alternative funding sources to increase reserves over the coming years.

Financial Risk

The Centre will be negotiating a new lease with the City Council in the coming months. It was expected that all talks would be completed by the end of March 2025 and this has not been achieved. NCC wants to offer community associations non-repairing leases and have already put a stop on all repairs only paying for compliant checks. The Centre is currently looking/seeking funding sources to ease the extra financial burdens that we will have to pick up. We are very lucky that we have partnerships with some local tradespeople that will have with some of repairs that are needed.

Public benefit statement

Greenway is a ‘go to hub’ for the local area and we work hard to ensure that people coming to us for support are given a holistic personal package of support by ourselves and other partner agencies we work alongside. The project adopts this approach by strengthening relationships with a variety of partner agencies for the benefit of the community.

On an average year Greenway supports 500 – 750 beneficiaries as follows:

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, 'Charities and Public Benefit'.

Summary of the main achievements during the period

Greenway can confirm the following;

From April 2024 to March 2025 we have supported over 100 families and individuals with access to food at our weekly food bank. We have also supported two local homeless hostels with surplus food.

During the financial year 118 young people have attended our Wednesday sessions where they have been able to take part in multi-sports, gymnastics and arts and crafts and more importantly have been able to have a warm meal before they go home and any surplus food has been given to parents when they come to collect their children.

Seen an increase in young people who have attended our holiday hunger programmes. We have supported most the families with surplus food over the Summer holidays.

Made referrals to St Anns advice for benefits, fuel and food shopping vouchers, we have been able to support local women with free sanitary products.

The centre has also been able to support individuals with household products, via The Household Support Fund and through the charity Giving World. We have been a support link between the local community, schools and the local police. Discussing issues such as litter, antisocial behaviour, and bullying. Working together to try and find peaceful solutions.

The charity’s policy on reserves

Our current reserves are £4k. The centre expects to build on these reserves over the next 4 years. Things are going to be difficult as we expect extra costs due to the city council withdrawing support on a number of bills which they have previously paid. The centre manager is sourcing funding applications to help ease the financial burden.
