## **RJ WESTON DUFFIELD CHARITY (CIO)** **(Registered Charity No’s: 518547 (Trust) & CRN 1188669 (CIO)** ## **Report for the 12 months ended 31[st] December 2024** The RJWDC continues to operate as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and is linked to the original Trust, which has remained in place as the owner of the building until such time as the Landlord formally agrees to the CIO status. The CIO is the sole trustee of the Trust, and one combined set of Accounts are submitted, with the 5vehicle parking spaces having been retained in the area adjacent to the Weston Centre building. The current Trustees of the Charity (CIO), at the time of this report, are as follows: - David Zydzienowski (Chair) / Bernadette Roberts (Vice-Chair) - Kate Busman (Treasurer) - Barrie Clarke / Robert Crowder / Sandra Zydzienowski - Jan Thompson – appointed by the Duffield Parish Council In July, Nicola Dalby resigned from the Trustee Board and was replaced by Kate Busman, who, the Board agreed, had an integral role in the running of the Weston Centre, and was voted on as a full member of the. Bernadette Roberts was also formally elected as the Vice-Chair. Following the review of the annual accounts, the situation for the Weston Centre was found to be in a difficult financial position which showed that without a substantial grant or income in the coming years the RJWDC would run out of money within two years with the subsequent closure of the Weston Centre. On that matter, it was agreed that a review of what was the immediate requirements, and the Trustees agreed that the Board would put forward a request to the Parish Council for a grant to cover the cost of repairs and replacements. The Chair to the Trustees put forward a financial request to the Parish Council in April, for a grant of £10k, which was agreed by the Council on the provision that the refurbishment would be fully itemised, with quotes and invoices provided, and ‘ring-fenced’ only for the items listed, and this financial assistance was subsequently and gratefully received by the RJWDC. Since then, and due to the further activity by the Trustee Events & Fundraising sub-committee, further financial assistance has been sought and obtained, with donations from various groups, such as the Duffield Freemasons and the Belper & Duffield Rotary Club, along with a successful claim for Gift Aid from the HMRC. In addition, the RJWDC also received several individual legacies from Duffield residents who have left monies in their wills following decease. These donations have been very gratefully received and have gone a long way to ensuring the Charity and the Weston Centre has the financial stability to remain open. Following this influx of interest the Charity is in the process of putting together a small leaflet which will be distributed to the village residents showing our daily activities, throughout the year, which is currently the only facility in Duffield that have consistently operated such a Centre with a small number of volunteers. Despite the financial difficulties the RJWDC has continued to provide a safe and warm environment for the residents, of any age, to the Centre with non-stop activities, which have all been well attended, including: - Monday Lunch Club / Cofee Mornings - Two Film Clubs / Minibus Excursions - Quiz Evenings / Memory Café - Chairobics / Bridge Club / Art Clubs - • Josh Jones Academy / NCT Group - ‘Special’ events such as the Easter & Christmas Tea Partes as well as individual hall hirers for birthday & commemoration parties. In the meantime, the issue that the Viceroy Restaurant had considered plans to install CCTV cameras, with a parking payment machine, in the shared car park, has been, for the foreseeable future, been dropped. Although it has been a difficult year, we believe, with the continued support of the Parish Council, village residents and the many local business establishments, who also donated many prizes for the Christmas Raffle, the RJWDC, will continue to have a future in the village, wherever we may reside. On behalf of the RJWDC Trustees, I offer our thanks to Emma our Centre Manager, and to all the volunteers who give their time willingly to help the Charity throughout the year for our events and we shall always encourage anyone who wishes to participate as a volunteer or join in with the activities we provide for all members of the Duffield community. **David Zydzienowski Chair to the Trustees – 30[th] January 2025** ## **A** **THE R J WESTON DUFFIELD CHARITY REGISTRATION NUMBER 1188669 (CIO) and Linked Charity 1188669-1(Formerly Trust)** **INCOME AND EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT FOR THE YEAR TO 31st DECEMBER 2024** |**A**|**A**|**A**|**A**|**A**| |---|---|---|---|---| |**INCOME AND EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT FOR THE YEAR TO 31st DECEMBER 2024**
