## **All Saints Community Centre Chair’s Annual Report** Since our last meeting in May 2023 the centre has been going through a challenging season, with many changes and difficult decisions having to be made by the Trustees. However, it continues to serve the community, hosting a mix of regular and one-off groups, serving the vulnerable and disadvantaged in our local area. ## Review of 2023 ## Staff Major changes took place in our staffing in 2023 as our finances dropped. With much deliberation it was decided by the Trustees that Bev Price would be made redundant from her job as Centre Manager. She gave her usual commitment to run the centre, support centre users and encourage new volunteers right up until the last day. She finished on 29[th] September 2023 and was paid a final salary with any holiday not taken. The Centre continued to employs a cleaner (Caroline) and caretaker (Alan). Following Bev’s departure we took on a part-time Operations Manager to keep the office ticking over and take booking etc. We recruited Mej-Brit Adamson and she began her job on 13[th] September 2023, allowing for a brief time of hand-over for some tasks from Bev. ## Trustees We have found it very difficult to recruit new Trustees. There are no new members coming forward from the church or community so we needed to find at least two new trustees. Long serving trustee George Pengelly resigned on 19[th] November and Tom Willoughby resigned on 30[th] November 2023 which left us without a Treasurer. By the end of 2023 we were left with Tracy Bevill (Community), Becky Lines (Church), Rory Clare (Church), Bernard Rowe (Church), James Price (Community) and Dave Orchard (Community).Long serving trustee, Dave has been less active due to ill health. We wish him well and understand if he can’t continue as a trustee. Thanks go to everyone for all the effort they have put in, especially Tracy who is often on the front line and Becky as Secretary. ## Finances Unfortunately Tom resigned without having completed the accounts and this left us in desperate need of a Treasurer or at least a book-keeper. Despite everyone’s best efforts no one could be found before the end of the year. Due to our limited resources we were not in a position to pay for them to be done. We will continue to ask around for suggestions and hope it is resolved before the accounts need to be submitted to the Charity Commission. In the meantime we need to keep day-to-day records of petty cash income and expenses in the usual way and we will ask the Operations Co-ordinator to make sure bills are paid. Our income has dropped during 2023 as there is no more Lottery funding. We received grants amounting to £20,000 from the NHS via Volunteer Cornwall, to be a Community Hub which has been vital. Some groups who were previously funded by grants will probably have to start paying for hall hire in the coming year to keep us solvent. ## Building Project The first phase of building project, the toilet in the Church was completed in September. This should make the church space more user friendly and take the pressure of the Community Centre, especially on Sundays. The second phase is the alteration and refurb of the community centre. Nanette NewtonHinge continues to offer her time to assist us with this, negotiating with and chasing the architect. We will have to get new quotes as too much time has elapsed since it was initially done and we are having second thoughts about the upstairs extension. ## Community Centre-Church relations The church and church groups continue to use the centre facilities. The Chair, Churchwardens and new Ops Co-ordinator strive for clear communication and mutual understanding. The Church toddler group, All Sorts@All Saints, run by Becky Lines continues to thrive and benefits from the warmth and storage of the Community Centre. We host their Christmas Carol singing event. We hope for more joint activities in the future when we can mutually support each other. ## Summary The charity is at a critical point. Volunteer numbers are low at the moment and income from hall hire is not sufficient on its own to sustain us. We need to recruit new trustees and volunteers. These are challenging times and the Trustees would benefit from looking again at the business plan and seeking partnerships with other organisations if the Centre is to be viable beyond 2024. ## **ALL SAINTS' CHURCH COMMUNITY CENTRE - BUSINESS ACCOUNT 2023** |**Income:**

I have examined all the bank statenmlts relating to the above COMMUNITY CENTRE held by CAF BANK Sort Code 40.52.40 A￿Unt number O(K)89795 (Gold Account) and Account number ￿012749 (Business Account) t is my opinion that il would appear that while the listed Income and Expenditure seems correct as it is listed in detail , I have not had the opwlrtunity to inspect the receipts to verify this, however this does not in my opinion raise concerns. The Income l Expenditu￿ while listed in detail shows a difference of £77.12 &8 op￿sed to what appears to be held in the CAF accounts. This means that while the trading figure shows10&8 of £50,187.43 on the year, the CAF accounts balatKes show only a decre￿ of £50,110.31. The a&sumption is that £77.12 has been recorded somewhere within the baDk accounts aod not listed. However the figures made available to me are all rounded up and not precise, therefore this may be why th¢re is a diff¢T¢nce In baIancing the Bank accounts I have treated the Gold Acwunt &$ a balanced transf¢r of funds to the Business account within the year as ONE account &s they are operdted on an auto funding b&sis with automatic transfers in and automatic transfers out resulting in a balanced movement during the In my opinion the method of accounting needs to k¢ clarified in firtu￿. as while in my opinion there are not any major discrepancies within the 2023 year, improved accountancy processes need to be followed to comply with the requirements under the General Directions given by the Charity Commission in 15(5b) of th¢ 2011 Act.
