WOODINGDEAN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION CIO ANNUAL TRUSTEES REPORT
The Trustees of the Woodingdean Community Association are responsible for the Community Centre in Woodingdean. As custodians of this vital local resource, our aim is to ensure that the Community Centre remains a thriving, accessible, and welcoming space for all members of the Woodingdean community.
The Woodingdean Community Association has a management committee, which includes the three trustees, who meet monthly to discuss operations, finance and strategy.
All residents are welcome to attend our three open meetings and Annual General Meeting held every year.
The Woodingdean Community Centre consists of 3 rooms plus a kitchen and garden. There is also a small committee room available for meetings.
Woodingdean Community Centre provides a well-maintained facility that enables social, educational, recreational and cultural activities. The Centre’s principal activity is the hiring of rooms to local community groups, residents, and organisations. The Centre’s rooms are hired out for a wide variety of purposes including the following: Weekly exercise and wellbeing classes such as yoga, Pilates, dance. Children’s birthday parties and family celebrations. Local interest groups such as gardening and crafting
The income from the hire of the rooms is used for the upkeep of the building. The outside of the building is maintained by Brighton and Hove City Council.
The Centre Manager oversees the day-to-day running of the centre, promoting and controlling the bookings. The Centre Manager ensures that the booking terms and conditions are adhered to by hirers.
The Trustees remain committed to ensuring the Woodingdean Community Centre’s facilities and activities respond to the needs and aspirations of our local community, now and in the future.
These accounts also reflect the custodial balances for the following: An annual Carnival is held on local school fields and is organized by a small separate committee. The Trust for Developing Communities (TDC) gives a grant for Healthy Neighborhood Projects. The TDC funds are held and then distributed to local charities who have applied for consideration by a separate panel. None of these custodial funds are for the benefit of the Community Centre.
