## **NEUADD GOFFA PENMACHNO** 

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ending 31[st] March 2024** 

The Trustees of Neuadd Goffa Penmachno hereby present their annual report and audited accounts for the period ending 31[st] March 2024. 

## **OUR AIM** 

The objectives of the CIO are to establish and run a village hall and to promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of the village of Penmachno, and its immediate neighbourhood, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, nationality, race or political, religious or other opinions, the provision of facilities by reason of their youth , age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interest of social welfare and with the object of improving the conditions of life of the said inhabitants. 

## **REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS (Year ending March 31 2024)** 

During the financial period in question, the renovation work funded by the National Lottery Communty Fund was finally completed.  This has resulted in a community facility with industrial quality kitchen, and multipurpose function room.  The sports hall has been decorated (with the hope of renovation work in the future), and there is a new mezzanine floor, which we also look to be developing in the future.  We received confirmation of a successful Shared Prosperity Fund grant application, which will be used to fund this Phase 2 project for the Hub. 

As a reminder, the core idea of the charity project is to improve the community owned Neuadd Goffa Penmachno (old school hall) to create a modern community facility with resources and activities to act as a hub for the whole community within Bro Machno to provide a good foundation for the community to address issues relating to poverty in the area. 

The community hub will 

- Provide a warm and welcoming space for local people 

- Help the community to have conversations about the diverse challenges we face locally, such as public transport, affordable housing needs and ideas for community care 

- Support the community to devise innovative and long-term solutions to local issues and develop proposals for dealing with these challenges 

- Involve people with first-hand experience of poverty as experts and partners in shaping actions 

- Deliver activities and events such as…..Movie nights, Arts Club, Reading club, Soup club, gardening club, gym, yoga, youth club. 

Promote the Welsh language and heritage of the area. 

Time banking and intergenerational skill share project. Community hub café 

Skills workshops and classes 

The project will 

- Develop community alliances and build social capital 

- Develop and share skills and trades within the community to help address issues 

- Refurbish the hall and develop new services, projects and enterprises 

- Coordinate local advice and service provision to benefit the community 



Local tradespeople carried out the vast majority of the works, and there were a significant amount of volunteer hours involved in the early part of the renovation project. 

Several Social and community activities able to be run from the facility over the year, including a weekly youth club and local nursery sessions (Ti a Fi).  We also hosted numerous private events, such as children’s birthday parties, and even funeral wakes. 

The village fun day & night was again a highly successful, and well attended event, and we now have plans for many more events coming up over the next 12 months, including the official opening in April. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW (Year ending March 31 2023)** 

Financial outgoings through the year were less than the previous year, as the renovation work came to an end, and we begun to gain income through venue hire . 

Outgoings on renovation were matched by income from the National Lottery as invoices were re-imbursed on an ongoing basis. 

We concluded the financial year in a comfortable position, though we are slightly nervous about rising energy costs and the future impact.
