LANGLEY COMMUNITY CENTRE AND SPORTS TRUST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

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 2025.

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 continues to be a valuable village resource and is well used.

We have continued to see a steady increase in use of the hall and are pleased to report revenue is now exceeding operating expenses. This is a positive £5,000 swing compared to the same period last year and particularly pleasing when considering the maintenance costs of running the facility.

Our revenue from fundraising activities this year have included Burns Night and the 100 Club. The funds raised by these events is split evenly between the Community Centre and The Church whilst the re-ordering of the Church is ongoing.

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 once again delighted to have been awarded £3,000 due to a very successful Village Fete this year.

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 £22,917 split between our 3 bank accounts, petty cash, a small float.

The 100 Club account stands at £3,157. This amount includes monies paid into the account for the start of the 25-26 year. We agreed at our most recent meeting to split the difference in contributions v prizes amounting to £2601 equally between the Community Centre and The Church meaning both organisations will receive £1300. This was paid out in July so will appear in our 2025/26 accounts.

Income of £17,983 for the year is 29% above the same period last year and is ahead of expenditure of £14,542 which is 6% below last years. Highest operating expenses continue to be Insurance, Cleaning and Electricity. There has however been an issue with overbilling of electricity so we are expecting this to be corrected. This is not reflected in account balances yet.

Earlier in the year, we decided to invest in safer, more robust car park lighting amounting to £1,412 and in addition we had our Air Source heat pump serviced amounting to £120.

Fundraising

As mentioned above, the amount of monies raised for fundraising has reduced due to 50% of funds raised being directed to the Church reordering project. We did however benefit to the tune of £610 following a successful Burns Night, along with net proceeds of £2,600 from the 100 club.

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 2024 .

Declaration

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