Whitewell Bottom Community Centre (CIO) Charity Number 1178687 Chair’s Report to 2023 AGM
Meeting of 30[th] May, 2023 at Whitewell Bottom Community Centre.
Two years post COVID lockdown and the Centre is busier than it has ever been. We have many new users as well as our old stalwarts. Our weekend parties have dropped off a little, but we hope these will pick up again as the summer approaches. Pre-school continues to thrive with a good intake. Having bounced back after lockdown, we have, of course, been faced with the huge increase in energy bills, which all businesses and households are experiencing. We have managed to survive this through care and energy saving and – as you will see from the annual accounts – we have actually come out with a small surplus.
Here is a flavour of our current weekly schedule; Breakfast Club, Mens Sheds Social, Keep Fit, Rossendale Drum Majorettes, Seated Exercise, Zumba, Football, Kid’s Club, Childrens Ju Jitsu, Peoples Health Alliance, Preschool, Choir Rehearsals, Mixed Martial Arts, Karate, Tai Chi, Games Morning and Line dancers.
We also host Emerging Futures, Slime for Fun, East Lancashire Downs Syndrome, Alcoholics Anonymous, Rossendale Works - Internet Café and Hillwalking and Navigation.
Regular soup and cake lunches continue on the second Wednesday of each month – next one is 14[th] June so book your tickets now!
We’ve had some great events during the past year, not least the celebration for the Coronation. We’ve also had Halloween and Christmas events and an Easter Egg Hunt. Next up will be this year’s Halloween celebrations. We also continue to run the monthly bonus ball, which now ‘rolls over’ if not won - meaning some really big prizes to be won!
We were successful in getting a grant from Eric Wright for the community gardening project and from Rossendale Borough Council to help with the Coronation event. The project to refurbish the hall floor is complete thanks to a mixture of external funding and Centre fundraising.
Robyn and our wonderful volunteers working in the Centre and outside in the grounds make a fantastic effort to keep the building and its surrounds looking clean and beautiful and we thank them for their sterling efforts. The football field is also well-looked after by Waterfoot Wanderers and volunteers and the process of re-grassing the goal mouths is ongoing.
The Trustees generally now meet in person at the Centre on a monthly basis.

WHITEWELL BOTTOM COMMUNITY CENTRE CIO, WHITEWELL BOTTOM, ROSSENDALE
Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Whitewell Bottom Community Centre, Whitewell Bottom, Rossendale.
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Whitewell Bottom Community Centre for the year ended 31 December 2021.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
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.
