Governance, Structure and Management
Governing Document
The Charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation known as Neville Community Centre. It is governed by a Constitution dated 16[th] October 2018.
Organisational Structure
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.
There must be a minimum of three trustees and a maximum of twelve. The day to day running of Neville Community Centre is controlled by the Trustees with the help of any volunteer staff.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
The existing trustees are responsible for the appointment of new trustees but in so doing they seek the views and recommendation of others. In selecting new trustees, we seek to identify people who regularly attend events and functions organised by the charity and are willing to volunteer to help in the broader community.
Trustees Report year end 31[st] December 2020
Premises
The property was registered in its own name, Neville Community Centre (CIO Registration Number 1180323) at the Land Registry on the 23[rd] September 2019. The Land Certificate (DU 193007) is held by Close Thornton, Solicitors, Duke Street, Darlington, County Durham, DL3 7AB.
In January the main hall floor was professionally deep cleaned and sealed in anticipation of a busy year.
In February the alarm system was upgraded with a new panel keypad and bell box.
Despite all activities having to stop on the 23[rd] March due to Covid-19 regulations we took the opportunity to continue with improvements to the Centre.
In October 2019 we changed the light fittings in the main hall to LED and in June 2020 we upgraded all other lights in the Centre to LED.
In July the gas boilers controller was upgraded to a new wireless programmable room thermostat. In the hope of being able to reopen, touch free soap and hand sanitizer dispensers were installed throughout the building. The old stage curtains were replaced and new audio equipment was purchased.
In August the two old doors in the small room were replaced.
In September to provide a one way system in and out of the building a new external footpath was laid from the front fire door across to the pavement.
With the Centre still not in use due to Covid-19 we took the opportunity to have all the wooden doors repainted and replaced the window roller blinds in the small room.
In November the five yearly fixed wiring inspection took place and a new 5 year certificate obtained after some minor faults were rectified.
Activities
A variety of activities normally takes place within the Centre but due to COVID -19 all activities stopped on the 23[rd] March 2020 affecting the café, yoga, Heelwork dog training, line dancing, keep fit, Probation Service, Slimming World and Quilt group. The Centre has not been available to hire for private parties and to the public and private sector from the 23[rd] March to 31 December 2020. In addition the Centre has not been available to the Neville Community Association for their regular meetings. We thank everyone who supported all the activities for their understanding during this difficult year and we are grateful for the help given to the Centre by all our volunteers.
Finance
On the 1[st ] January 2020 the current account bank balance was £2127.45 with a reserve account of £7059.87and cash in hand of £29.91, total £9217.23. By the year end 31 December 2020 funds in hand totalled £18869.25. As the premises are rated for business rates (despite currently receiving 100% dispensation) we have qualified for COVID -19 Support Grants of £14102.50 and other grant funding of £1639 during the year. Finances are being controlled and carefully monitored.
