REGISTERED CHARITY No. 1183244 THE CODDENHAM CENTRE A Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS Year ended 31st March 2023 THE CODDENHAM CENTRE A Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) REGISTERED CHARITY No. 1183244 ## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT** Year ended 31st March 2023 ## Objectives and activities The continued purpose of the CIO is to manage the Coddenham Community and Sports Centre (The Coddenham Centre) and associated facilities, for the benefit of the inhabitants of the Parish of Coddenham and surrounding area, in line with its declared objectives of May 2019. The main activities have been operating the community hall and sports areas in accordance with those objectives. The trustees continue to express their thanks for the valuable contribution made by volunteers, staff and benefactors, which has greatly assisted the charity in offering a variety of facilities and activities. In carrying out the activities the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. ## Achievements and performance The Coddenham Centre CIO has continued to maintain its core responsibilities to manage the Centre and surrounding areas for the general well being of the Community in a cost effective manner and sustainable manner. Additionally, we are attempting to demonstrate environmental responsibility and to support Suffolk's Greenest County objectives. Independent measurement by Suffolk County Council calculated in early 2023 that The Coddenham Centre had reduced its carbon emissions by 70% on the previous year. Our economic challenge in the previous financial year was to replace the failed oil heating system with a heat pump alternative. With the commencement of the Ukraine war, an additional challenge emerged to meet the electricity consumption demand of the heat pumps against the rising price of grid energy. Plans were made to install solar panels and additionally to convert our lighting to LED only. Although the physical installation of the solar panels was not achieved until the following financial year, we were protected from the worst energy price increases by having secured a long term lower fixed energy rate until March 2023. With the fear of COVID-19 slowly dissipating The Coddenham Centre was able to return to a full programme of events including the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, hosting the Coddenham Summer Ball and Open Gardens. Coddenham Athletic Fooball Club reformed stronger then ever and the tennis and badminton courts remained busy. The Centre was used for third party conferences and training courses plus the Coddenham Village History Club held three well attended talks and the Gardemau Charity sponsored a first aid course for village residents. The kitchen continued to attract artisan food preparation by local entrepeneurs. During the winter, and with the funding of Mid Suffolk District Council and the East England Co-op Warm Hub Fund, we held regular "warm room" sessions where residents of all ages were invited to meet and chat over a free meal whilst being kept warm by our newly installed heat pumps. We continued to work closely with the community voluntary, charitable bodies and statutory bodies that make up the Coddenham Community Response Group, sharing mutual collaboration and support. With local builder and volunteer help we converted unused changing rooms into one large meeting room. This has proved to be a success with several smaller groups preferring to use this space, thus realeasing capacity elsewhere in the building. 2 Finally we were pleased to receive awards for the "Suffolk Community Centre of the Year" and the "Most Active Community" from Community Action Suffolk and Active Suffolk respectively ## THE CODDENHAM CENTRE A Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) REGISTERED CHARITY No. 1183244 ## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT** Year ended 31st March 2023 (continued) ## Financial review With the ending of the COVID-19 restrictions and a gradual return of confidence, the community had more appetite for attending sports and communal activities. This attitude was enhanced by the Platinum Jubilee celebrations which were highly successful. We continued to receive funding from the Parish Precept via Coddenham Parish Council as well as grants from other third parties, for which we are very grateful.The local Day Foundation and Gardemau Trusts again provided welcome collaboration for a number of projects and administrative support. The continuing energy crisis overshadowed the entire year as we attempted to be as economic as we were able to be and were fortunate to be tied into a low fixed contract for the majority of the period. Much work was put into planning for solar panels and LED lighting changes and applications were made to several bodies for funding with MSDC, The Lottery Fund, Suffolk County Council and Valencia Communities Fund and we owe them our grateful thanks. The financial receipts show a transition from receipt of funding for heat pumps installed just prior to the commencement of this financial year and the solar panels/LED lighting replacements which were installed after this financial year ended. We ended the year with a £1,087 loss on the budget although with a £284 refund due from HMRC and liabilities of £426 for advance hire payments and a £636 electricity charge due ## Structure, governance and management The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, governed by its constitution dated 22nd March 2019, which was registered at the Charity Commission on 3rd May 2019.
