Objectives and activities
The charity's objects
To further or benefit the residents of the area bounded by the Ring Road, King Lane, Adel Beck and Deanswood Road, Moortown, Leeds without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by associating together the said residents and the statutory 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 established 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 the furtherance of the above objects.
The charity's main activities
The charity provides events and activities, both social and sporting, for the local community.
Public benefit statement
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular providing activities and events in the interests of social welfare. This is achieved through recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents.
Achievements and performance
The charity has been at the forefront of the majority of events held in the community. We have had a positive effect on mental health and social interaction.
We delivered over 450 Easter eggs following a competition, over 800 sweet parcels following a pumpkin carving competition and over 1,500 presents from a socially distanced Santa event. We have also held 4 community litter picks.
COVID-19
MWCA has not been affected financially due to coronavirus. We have had a good year adapting to new challenges whilst still trying to engage with the community. We have had amazing support and generosity from local businesses allowing us to continue.
MWCA has plans to continue once restrictions allow and want to re-engage face to face with our community offering the same level of service as before.
At the time of signing these accounts the charity has been impacted by the global Covid-19 virus. The trustees have reassessed the charity’s ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date that the accounts are approved and conclude that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to meet its liabilities as they fall due.
