Purpose: The objective of the Gwernymynydd Village Centre is to provide facilities for recreation, learning and leisure for the benefit, advancement and social welfare of the residents of Gwernymynydd and district.
Structure and management: Gwernymynydd Village Centre is a charitable incorporated organisation created in July 2019. The committee of voluntary trustees meet monthly, striving to manage and maintain the Centre in accordance with the constitutional objectives, to provide a safe and properly regulated environment for its users and an attractive facility for hire. New trustees are appointed by election or co-option and complete an Eligibility Declaration on induction, also being provided with a copy of the Constitution and guiding documents.
Summary of the main activities : The Centre is used for such activities as Community Council meetings, a Remembrance Sunday Service, football games and coaching, Pilates and exercise classes, choral groups, indoor bowling, residents’ celebratory parties, a monthly Coffee Morning and an annual Pantomime, thus providing a varied programme well-aligned with the objectives.
In addition, and supported by a Community Council grant, the Charity is instrumental in the production of a bimonthly village newsletter which provides news on local issues and events, continuing to provide communication in print to reach the community as a whole and to maintain inclusivity for those not orientated to seek information online.
Public benefit : Due consideration is given to the setting of hire fees and the provision of financial reliefs or grants to adhere to the Charity Commission’s guidance concerning public benefit. In addition, the trustees are rolling out a programme of inspection, repair and upgrading of the premises to meet risk management objectives.
Financial review : Income is generated through the hire of the Village Centre to residents of Gwernymynydd and the general public who wish to carry out activities there, from seasonal fundraising events and from grants from such a the Gwernymynydd Community Council. This year saw a useful increase in hire income which, coupled with some cost restraint, resulted in the funds held increasing by circa 10%.
