WOODINGDEAN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION ANNUAL TRUSTEES REPORT
The trustees of the Woodingdean Community Association (WCA) are responsible for a Community Centre in Woodingdean for the use of the local community.
The Woodingdean Community Association has a management committee who meet monthly along with 3 trustees. There are also 3 general meetings a year as well as an Annual General Meeting where all residents are welcome to attend.
The outside of the building is maintained by Brighton and Hove City Council.
The building is a hub for local activity and available to hire for activities and/or special occasions. Our aim is to provide a space for clubs and groups to run various activities for the local community including karate, dancing, meetings, table tennis and education.
The building has 3 rooms plus a kitchen and garden. Funds to maintain its upkeep are raised by renting some or all the rooms out to organizations or groups seven days a week.
The centre manager oversees the day-to-day running of the centre, promoting and controlling the bookings. The centre manager ensures that all hirers fulfil the terms of their agreement.
Our expenditure exceeded our income for the year ending 2024. Upgrades were made to the kitchen and blinds/curtains fitted to the small room. Funds had been ring fenced for the improvements needed.
The trustees and the centre manager will continue to promote the use of the building and increase the number of users hiring the rooms.
The accounts also reflect the custodian balances for the following: The newly formed Woodingdean Food Hub CIC, which now has its own banking arrangements. The annual Carnival, which is run by a small separate committee. The local authority Brighton and Hove City Council grants funds for Heatly Neighborhood Projects to be given to different charities. The funds are held and then distributed after the applications and decisions have been made by a separate panel. None of these funds are for the benefit of the WCA or the community centre.
The Trustees for the Woodingdean Community Association are:
