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 2021

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.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions we were not able to open the Centre until mid- April but took the opportunity whilst closed to continue with improvements.

During February the kitchen worktops were replaced and a new electric oven was purchased with appropriate pans for the new induction hob.

Several doors were painted and new shelving units were installed in the small room right of stage.

Externally the old broken chain link boundary fence to the rear and right of the property was replaced with a new twin mesh metal fence and side gate, at a cost of £4038, to secure the premises boundary.

In time for re-opening in April hot water was supplied to the wash basins in the ladies toilets and new mixer taps installed.

An external free standing notice board was installed front left of our entrance path at a cost of £633.60.

In July damaged shiplap cladding on the rear wall of the premises was replaced at a cost of £675.

The hot water heater in the ladies toilets failed in August flooding the floor but fortunately caused no further damage. The water heater was replaced in September at a total cost of £237.59.

The old boiling water dispenser in the kitchen also failed and was replaced with a new unit at a purchase cost of £356.98.

During storm Arwen in December a large tree in the back right corner of our premises was brought down causing substantial damage to the new fence that we had had installed in April. The tree was removed at a cost of £700 and by the year end we still await repair to the fence and settlement to our insurance claim

Activities

A variety of activities normally takes place within the Centre but due to COVID -19 no activities took place until mid- April affecting the café, yoga, Heelwork dog training, line dancing, keep fit, Quilt group and the Centre was not available to the Neville Community Association for their regular meetings. Since opening in April the Friday morning café has been a successful meeting venue and has made a substantial £1600 contribution to the running costs of the Centre.

In December as a thank you to the local community we arranged a musical entertainment evening with hot food provided for a nominal £1 entrance cost.

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 2021 the current account bank balance was £5691.32 with a reserve account of £13068.29 and cash in hand of £109.64 and a café float of £45.24, total £18914.49. By the year end 31 December 2021 funds in hand totalled £32602.45. As the premises are rated for business rates (despite currently receiving 100% dispensation) we have qualified for COVID -19 Support Grants of £20835.21 and grant funding of £2000 from Great Aycliffe Town Council during the year. Finances are being controlled and carefully monitored.
