LANGLEY COMMUNITY CENTRE AND SPORTS TRUST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

Structure, governance and management

The Langley Community Centre and Sports Trust Trustees present their report and receipts and payments accounts as a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) for the charity’s period ended 30 June 2024.

The charity is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered with the Charity Commission since 9 August 2018.

The charity trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the charity. The trustees give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits. The trustees usually meet together on a monthly basis and are responsible for decisions taken in relation to the community facilities and activities provided by the charity, but also seek the views of volunteers. Following the previous Covid restricted year we were delighted to be able to resume face to face meetings this year, albeit with the few remaining restrictions still in place. Our next Annual General meeting is scheduled for a date to be agreed in September 2024, when we will be electing Trustees and Officers for the next fiscal.

Objectives and activities

The objects of the CIO are to establish and run a village hall and to promote it for the benefit of the inhabitants of the parish of Langley ("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.

In planning our activities for the year we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our trustee meetings.

The main activities are as follows:

To run and maintain the village hall
To promote and arrange social activities
To raise funds

The charities main objective is to run, maintain and promote its facilities for the benefit of the community. Providing a safe and welcoming environment where people can meet socially, improves the quality of life and welfare of villagers in what is a very rural and sometimes isolated village. Our main activities throughout the year have supported these aims.

We are grateful for the many hours volunteers have given. Without this valuable contribution of time, energy and expertise we would not have been able to achieve so much.

Achievements and Performance

We are delighted that the Village Hall is proving to be a valuable village resource and well used.

We have seen a steady increase in use of the hall but revenue is not quite covering our operating expenses, particularly when considering the maintenance costs of running the facility.

We therefore still require revenue from other fundraising activities which this year have included Ladies Day, Jumble sales and the 100 Club, although the split of these have reduced whilst we share with the Church project which is also nearing completion.

Regular classes in the hall, attracting local residents continue to be diverse ranging from Sarah's art classes and include Pilates, Yoga, Langley Lunches, Craft classes and regular meetings of the WI, LPC and LCC&ST.

We have also benefitted from numerous larger functions such as weddings, birthdays and childrens parties.

The trustees were also delighted to have been awarded a larger than normal amount of the Village fete proceeds due to an incredibly successful fete in August 23.

Our thanks go to The Parish Council, The Fete Committee, RCCE and all of the numerous organisations that have supported us throughout the year.

Financial Review

At the end of the period the cash at bank in unrestricted funds sat at £19,477 split between our 3 bank accounts, petty cash, a small float.

The 100 Club account stands at £1,325. The split of funds will be agreed at our committee meeting held in August. 80% of this will be paid to the Church fund with the balance going to the community centre. These transactions will appear in our next years accounts.

Operating income of £6,716 hasn’t kept pace with expenditure although accounts do not show £703.00 of invoiced hall hire, yet to be received. Highest operating expenses continue to be Insurance, Cleaning and Electricity but it should be noted that £1840 was spent on maintenance items such as exterior decoration.

With maintenance being an ongoing consideration for the future, we have renamed one of the accounts to “Maintenance Reserves” and placed funds in that to cover future expenses. Balance of this account stands at just over £7,000 at year end.

Fundraising

As mentioned above, the amount of monies raised for fundraising has reduced due to 80% of funds raised being directed to the Church reordering project. We did however benefit to the tune of £438 following a successful Ladies Day and £361 from Jumble sales during the year..

In addition we were supported once again with a generous donation from the Fete committee of £3,000 following a hugely popular village fete in August 2023.

Declaration

The trustees declare that they have approved the trustee's report above.
