ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
th
The Association present their Report for the year ended 30 April 2025.
OBJECTIVES OF THE ASSOCIA TION
The objectives of the Association remain unchanged from those stated in the
Constitution and are:
{alTo promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of Highcliffe and the
neighbourhood (without distinction of sex or political, religious or other
opinion) the advancement of education and to provide facilities in the
interests of social welfare, recreation and leisure-time occupation, with the
object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.
Ib}To establish or secure the establishment of a Community Centre and to
maintain and manage or co-operate with any local authority in the
maintenance and management of such a Centre for activities promoted bv
the Association and its, constituent bodies in furtherance of the above
objects.
ANNUAL REPORT
The Association offers a wide range of interests spread over more than 50
different groups with both weekly, fortnightly and monthly meetings and also has
a very extensive library. Over the current year a number of new groups have been
formed with further groups to be announced in the near future. It is a very
friendly and caring Association which is open to all and is totally run by
volunteers. Social events such as film nights, quiz and chips and social evenings
are regularly on offer. A coffee morning with live music 15 held every Friday and
attracts a large number of people.
The Association is based in a wonderful grade 2 listed building with sea views and
is total ly responsible for all aspects of its maintenance.

TRUSTEES
Recruitment of Trustees is made by appea15 in the Newsletter and on the notice
boards around the building. The Trustees form the Management Committee of
the CIO and are elected by the members at an AGM.
LEGAL AND ADMINISTRA TIVE INFORMATION
Highcliffe Community Association CIO was established at a special members
th
meeting on 30 January 2020, when the form of the Constitution and Standing
Orders were adopted. The CIO was set up to eventually replace the original
Highcliffe Community Association Charity Number 278035 which was established
th
on 13 October 1978; once all legal requirements are fulfilled thi5 Charity will
then be dissolved. The reason for changing the charitable status was that by being
registered as a CIO it means that no individual person is held financiallv
responsible for the Association. The CIO was registered with the Charity
Commissioners under the Registration Number 1189336. The headquarter5 of the
Association remain at Greystones House, Waterford Road, Highcliffe,
Christchurch, Dorset BH23 5JL.
The Association has a website and Web Master along with a monthly Newsletter
for members.
The Association is run by approximately 100 volunteers for the members and is
financially self-funding.
The governance of the Association is operated through a Management
Committee duly elected by the members. The Management Committee hold
meetings every two months to advise the representatives from each of the
Sections on any decisions made with regards to the running of the Association.
MEMBERSHIP
th
As at 30 April 2025 the total individual membership was 1133. In addition, there
were 4 Group or Affiliated members. The annual membership subscription has
been maintained yet again at £10 for 2025.

GIFT AID
Advantage has again been taken of the Gift Aid legislation and members have
been encouraged to pay their subscriptions by way of Gift Aid thereby facilitating
the recovery by the Association of tax rebate in the appropriate cases. In the year
under review the sum of £2,792.
SECTION AcfiviTIES
In general, the overall sectional activities continue to remain buoyant and offer a
wide range of interests and cater for most tastes. The Management Committee
has an open mind towards the creation of new Sections where it is demonstrated
that the new activity will have adequate support from members. Currently there
are 58 Sections and 6 Affiliates.
All Sections are required to be financially self-sufficient and manage their own
affairs in accordance with the Association's Standing Orders and at the same time
bear an equitable share of the Association's outgoings and expenditure. In this
regard financial guidance has been given that the recommended minimum annual
section fee of £2.00 and the members, attendance fee of £l,00 should be deemed
to be 'ring-fenced" so as to provide a basis for the Sections, contribution towards
the Association's outgoings.
FINANCIAL STA TEMENT
Subject to the retention in a current bank account of sufficient funds to meet day-
to-day activities, all surplus monies are invested on the advice of Heritage
Investments, in a balanced portfolio in some 40150 separate trust companies
(with no more than 4% in any one company). All income earned from such
th
investments is reinvested. As at 30 April 2025 the value of those investments
amounted to £335,241. Facilities exist for the Association to have access to any
monies from such funds on 10 days notice.
Investment opportunities are kept under constant review. The Investment
Advisers are required to provide a written quarterly report of the review
undertaken.

The Statement of Financial Activities shows the overall income of the Association
th
th
for the year to 30 April 2025 to be £58,095. For the year to 30 April 2025 there
has been a deficit of income compared with the expenditure of £14,296. The
value of the Association's investments increased by £12.441.
In addition, the Association received a legacy of £627,175 which is shown as
Restricted income in the Accounts.
