STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Organisational Structure and Governance
Netherthong Community Partnership (NCP) is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, which was registered with the Charity Commission on 2[nd] July 2019. It is governed by the Foundation Model Constitution which was adopted on 28[th] June 2019.
Recruitment and appointment of new Trustees
-
(1) Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees.
-
(2) In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives
The objects of Netherthong Community Partnership are:
To further or benefit the residents of the village of Netherthong and surrounding areas, 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.
In furtherance of these objects but not otherwise, the trustees shall have power:
To establish or secure the establishment of a community centre and to maintain or manage or co-operate with any statutory authority in the maintenance and management of such a centre for activities promoted by the charity in furtherance of the above objects.
Significant activities
This financial year, a number of fundraising events took place, well organised by Carol Dickinson. These included the annual Christmas Market, a Valentine’s Breakfast and an event to mark Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee. All were a great success, and brought the community together.
On 2nd February 2022, the Diocese approved the Faculty application of Netherthong Community Partnership to reorder All Saints Church building. Withstanding certain conditions, NCP now has the opportunity to transform the church building into a community centre as well as a place of worship.
The initial activity following approval has been to remove the pews and replace them with Diocese-approved wooden chairs. The pew removal work took place over a day on Saturday 16th July 2022, with help from members of the local community, along with the transport of most

________________ of the pews to their new homes. All bar 2 of the 14 pews remained in the Holme Valley, the 2 only going as far as the Colne Valley, but both holding close ties to the village of Netherthong. 2 pews remain in the building, a requirement of the Faculty approval process.
Considerable work has been done to sand and varnish the wooden floor areas, which took place over 100 man hours in time for the first use of the new space – a wedding – on Saturday 10th September 2022.
NCP held its AGM meeting in the new space – All Saints Church and Community Centre - as part of an open day, on 17th September 2022. Afterwards, the Parish held a Messy Church Disco with young members of the community and their parents attending. All total, over 130 people came to see the new space, and feedback was that they were impressed with what had been achieved.
There have been a considerable number of volunteers from the church and community that have helped NCP to get to the position where we have a space that the community can – and will – use for various activities. On behalf of NCP, thank you to all of you.
A number of Trustees have resigned over the period, however this is to be expected, as most have served between 3 and 4 years, in what has been a difficult and frustrating period. Thak you to each and every Trustee who has driven the charity forward over the initial period. With the space now open to the community, it is also a great opportunity to bring on board new Trustees to make a difference in how the space is utilised.
Finally, we have benefited from a number of grants and personal donations to get us to this stage. The Trustees again thank everyone for their generous support to help us get to this stage.
Public benefit statement
The Trustees confirm that when planning the activities of the charity they have regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
NCP has achieved its initial goal to transform All Saints Church from a place of worship to an added value community centre for the people of the parish to use. The building has been a hive of activity in the two months of July and August 2022, making sure it was ready for use in the window we had when no activity was booked.
NCP Trustees have worked tirelessly in the background to ensure the building adheres to the appropriate regulations that come with opening up the building for community use. In tandem, we continue to develop our online presence, and aim of which is for the web site to be the ‘landing page’ for any searches for Netherthong. The site will also be ready for online bookings imminently
