## **Our Objective** 

As stated in our constitution the objective of the Trust has not changed.  It is for the public benefit in the local district of Eastbourne known as Willingdon and Jevington, to provide a public community hub library.  This includes the promotion for the benefit of the residents of Willingdon and Jevington the provision of facilities for recreation and/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 of the public at large in the interest in social welfare and with the object of improving the condition of life of the said residents. 

## **Organisation and management overview.** 

Willingdon Community Hub Library Trust has 9 Trustees who have the responsibility of ensuring compliance with the Charities Act of 2011 with the requirements of the sublease agreed with Willingdon and Jevington Parish Council.  There have not been any changes to the current Trustees. 

The day to day management and running of the Hub is undertaken by the management team. There has been a change in the management team with one member standing down and a new member taking over responsibility for Events management. The management team now consists of 5 members of whom 5 are Trustees.  The other role descriptors for the other members of the team remain the same.
