Objectives and activities otthe ¢harity
Objectives
To further or benef it the residents of Malton. and the district of Ryedale, without distinction of
sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by associating together
the said residents and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common
effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for
recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for
the residents:
To advance the Christian religion in Malton, and the district of Ryedale for the benefit of the
public through the provision and maintenance of the Wesley Centre for use as a place of
worship.
To advance the education of the public through the preseNation and maintenance of the Grade
Il* listed Wesley Centre Malton buil(Jing (formerly known as Malton Methodist Church).
Public benefit
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to
general guidance published by the Charity Commission relatingto public benefit, including the
guidance 'Public benef it: running a charity IPB21'. Details of how the charity has carried out its
activities for public benefit are given in the achievements and performance section below.
Achlevements and performance
During the year, the third developmental Phase of major works to restore and transform the
Wesley Centre continued. and after the year-end, Practical Completion was declared before
the end of the calendar year. Some snagging works remain and these are progressively being
tackled by the contractor. The completion of Phase 3 now facilitates much greater use of the
large main auditorium space by the wider community, including its partial re-purposing as a
classical concert venue and for other commullity purposes. The first element of this Phase
commenced on site in November 2022. The remit has been extensive. and not since its first
opening in August 1811 h8S the building received so much physical intervention- primarily to
ensure that it is f it for purpose and is future-proofed for generations to come- moreover that it
is capable of being used each day by the widercommunity.
The national conseNation officer of the Methodist Church has remarked that the quality of the
restoration itself and of the transformative works at the Wesley Centie, is amongst the highest
she has seen.
In no small part, this Is testament to the meticulous efforts and expertise expressed by the
project architects, Rogerson Limited.
The original programme of works however had to be slowed in 2024 and 2025 as some
uncertainty was created following the general election in 2024.
Two major grant prospects lin value of up to £1.8 million), both Government-related, were
initially paused and were subsequently became unavailable/ cancelled, respectively. This was
a significant disappointment as these funds were planned to support Phase 4. (the final phase),
which will see the re-instatement of a new three-storey annex to the rear of the east wall of the
building (see belowfor further (letailsl.
Critically. the engineering issues associated with the master plan called for these final works
to continue seamlessly from Phase 3, given the significant structural nature of the capital
development. Consequently, a decision was made in late 2024 to press ahead with the
completion of Phase 3. This however created significant pressures on finance
bringing
forward a significant percentage of items from Phase 4 to ensure that the building could be
part1811y re-opened and utilised as quickly as possible.
The trustees are very grateful to the continuing support of the Ryedale Methodist Circuit which
has assisted this challenge through the provision of 8 soft loan. This will be repaid to the Circuit
by Year 3 of full operations of the Wesley Centre.
The charity estimates that the total cost impact of not being able to 'seamlessly' continue with
Phase 4 as planned, amounts to approximately £220,000. Notwithstanding the effects of
inf lation over the next 12 months, it is anticipated that a high proportion of this sum will be able
to be deducted from the total planned cost of Phase 4.
After the year-en(J, enquiries and confirmed bookings for the available 'new' spaces remain
high from many local community organisations and others, including as a rehearsal space for
no less than four local choirs. for several book launches, as well as venue hires for classical
concerts and public meetings. These bookings came into effect from the beginning of
September 2024, which included several highly successful concerts in the space during the
summer of 2025 (including six Concerts hosted for the Ryedale Festtval spring, summer and
autumn seasons), and during the Christmas period in 2025. It is estimated that in December
2025 alone, more than 1,600 people attended various event5 at the Wesley Centre.
Community Café
Tho Community Café is the final remaining major element of our Phase 3 capital investment,
and this has required a significant amount of professional planning. not least to ensure that it
can stand-out and complete in a crowded cafél eatery space in Malton and elsewhere in the
district. The Café kitchen and associated serveries are complex elements and represent a total
investment of approximately £145.000. All such building elements have been fully completed,
and major items such as the kitchen extract syst8m and seNeries were also in situ after the
ye8r-end. The Café Inownamed ChapelKitchenl and associated elements arefunded via a mix
of lease finance. interest free equipment provlsion. and a cash injection from the Wesley
Centre.
The opening of Chapel Kitchen remains our top priority. The appointment of an experienced
Chef Ifull-timel and Deputy Chef Ipart-timel has been challenging as the hospitality sector in
the run-up to Christmas 2025 was very buoyant in the region- despite several potential
candidates coming forward, none were deerned suitable for the advertised posts. This
recruitment drive was re-launched in early January 2026 with much more success, and more
than two dozen applicants expressed an interest in the advertised posts. At the time of writing
the two key cooking roles have now been filled and both joined the Wesley Centre team in March
2026, in time for the mobilisation and a planned opening of Chapel Kitchen in early April 2026.
A programme of volunteer recruitment has also been successful, and following training, a core
group of new volunteers will work closely with the Cafe team.
Whilst later then we had hoped, the opening of Chapel Kitchen is a milestone event and signals
the delivery of the first Df our planned high priority revenu8 generative initiatives that will
eventually ensure the sustainability of the Wesley Centre as a whole. and for the long-term.
Staffing
Towardsthe end of theyear, two members of permanent staff joined thewesleycentre. These
appointments have been an important part of our overall plan as we gradually transition from
development mode to operational mode. An Administration Off icer and Facilities Off icerjoined
us at the beginning of June 2025. Both members of staff are pivotal to the long-term success of
achieving the Wesley Centre's core vision- and each is now making a positive difference to the
successful day to day operations. The trustees are very grateful to them for all their efforts and
expertise.
Plans for future periods
Work also continued during the year on new fundraising initiatives and detailed preparations
with the project's architect and design team for the detailed plans 8ssociate(J with the final
element. Phase 4. This comprises the reinstatement of the three-storey attached annex to the
rear of the main building, known as the 'East Wing,.
The new East Wing will contain a wide variety of new additional community SPaC6S. together
with new cloakrooms and a professional events kitchen. This 'Phase 4, will also include the
reinstatement of a large historic 3 manual 31 stop pipe organ which will be centrally positioned
in the large space, and. in its own right, will be an instrument able to attract some of the most
renowned national and international perforrrbers to play in concert. as well as supporting the
classical concert programming in general.
With Practical Completion of Phase 3 declared after the year-end in December 2025, 811
necessary permissions, architectural and structural plans are now already in place for the final
phase. The final phase (Phase 41 has a build programme of approximately 40 weeks and
following a re-tender process of these works, this work will commence on site as soon as funds
permit.
Fundraising for this final phase estimated at £1.6 million is ongoing. most notably with major
submissions to the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Arts Council. In January 2026, and in
recognition of the important role that religious heritage buildings play in the UK'S national story,
a new £92 million fund called the Places of Worship Renewal Fund was launched by the
Department of Culture Media and Sport. Potentially it will give the Wesley Centre access to the
same lev81 of financial supportfrom the Government as historic houses, monuments and other
heritage sites. The Government have said that that details of this new f und will be announced
in April 2026 and wlll be aoministered on its behalf by Historic England. Given our achievements
to date, and in consultation with the Methodist Connexion's Conservation Officer. oui
application for the Wesley Centre's final phase will be given a strong national endorsement by
the Methodist Church in Great Britain.
In summary
Over the past decade, Malton's Wesley Centre has been largely transformed. As part of a
focussed programme, three of four key phases of major capital works have now so far been
successfully undertaken to ensure thatthe Wesley Centre is well-positioned to benef it from the
expansion of a rapidly growing community. Malton was and remains today the commercial
heart of southern Ryedale, where Methodism has had a deep-rooted pres8nce for almost 215
years.
'New' foundations have been laid for the Wesley Centre once again to be at the centre of this
outreach to the wider community in Maltonl Norton and the surrounding region. The charity is
now well-positioned to take full advantage of both the scale and flexibility of the building itself.
and to meet the needs of its people. In practical terms, almost £2.5 million has so fai been
invested in the necessary physical changes to the building-futuie-proofing its new capabilities
for geneTations to come.
New and enduring partnerships have also been fostered with organisations such as the Malton
Free Fridge and other community organisations that now use the Wesley Centre on a regular
basis. And many thousands of people now enter and leave the building in the knowledge that in
terms of community andpl8ce, there is 8 genuine welcome for all. regardless ol who you are.
and that we are a hospitable meeting place in the heart of Malton.
The vision and ethos of the charity is straight foM8rd, as indicated by our objects. We are
making all of ourfacilitie8 available to other charities and community organisations, and we do
so affordably for such organisations. We b818nce this objective with revenue generative
initiatives such as Chapel Kitchen, our Community café. the classical concert programming,
and as host for a wide variety of other public events. such as conferencing, and banqueting.
This mix has been carefully designed to ensure its financial sustainabilityfor decades to come.
Going Concern
After making appropriate enquiries and with the ongoing support of grant funders. and soft
loans from Trustees and the Ryedale Methodist Circuit. the Trustees have a reasonable
expectatlon that the charity has adequ8te resources to continue in operational existence for
the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in
preparingthe financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern
basis can be found in the accounting policies.
Structure, governance and management
The Wesley Centre (Maltonl is a registered charity, number 1181629, and is constituted as a
Charitable Incorporated Organisation ICIOI under the foundation model.
The management of the charity 19 the responsibilvty of the Trustees who are elected and co-
opted under the terms of the Trust deed. The decisions of the Church Council will have primacy
on such matters that remain core to the partnership relationship. As the charity is now
transitioningto an operational phase, several newtrustees with expert specialisms in key areas
of operations will be sought.

## **Malton Methodist Church**
The restoration of the Malton Methodist premises is being undertaken jointly by Malton Methodist Church (MMC) and The Wesley Centre (Malton). Project management is carried out by The Wesley Centre, which makes the payments to contractors and suppliers. Costs up to 31st August 2020 were funded through MMC. Following the inception of the Memorandum of Understanding between The Wesley Centre & MMC, as endorsed by the Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes, certain costs are now being funded directly through The Wesley Centre.
£116,942 of the total debtors due within 1 year represent an amount due by the MMC but it is expected this debtor will be offset against future revenue payable to MMC.
Three (2024: Three) of the Wesley Centre's Trustees hold the position of Steward in MMC
## **Loans from trustees**
At 31 August 2024, the Wesley Centre's creditors included a balance of £65,764 in respect of a loan from Mr P Emberley, one of the trustees. During the year, Mr Emberley advanced a further £54,670 to the charity and £100,434 was repaid to him. The balance of £20,000 owed to Mr Emberley at 31 August 2025. No interest is payable on this loan and there is no fixed repayment date. The charity also holds a loan of £2,000 from another trustee, Mr R Lukey, which is included in the balance sheet under loans due within one year. Mr Emberley and Mr Lukey have confirmed that repayment of these balances will be postponed to the extent that any repayment would prejudice the payment of the charity's debts as they fall due.
