the original constitution cited the objectives
as “the physical and mental training and
recreation and social, moral and intellectual
development through the medium of reading
and recreation rooms, library, lectures,
classes, recreations and entertainments or
otherwise as may be found expedient for the
benefit if the inhabitants of the village and
parish of Wigmore and its immediate vicinity

religious or other opinions”.

activities, projects or services

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 WVCC has provided an active youth group
project throughout the year which continues
to be supported. This is the only youth-
orientated offering in the community.
We continue to host regular events across a
wide demographic of the community from a
tots group, to yoga classes, to the gardening
club, indoor bowls club and monthly quiz.
All of these provide a safe forum for like-
minded people to get together to combat
issues of loneliness in a very rural
community.
All the activities and events staged are at the
request of the community identified through
open days and social media.

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period		 Para 1.21 The charity made a loss of £721 over this
reporting period. This was due to the
investment in equipment for the kitchen in
order to offer refreshments during hosted
events and for the Youth Project.
Grant funding continues to be the largest
single income contribution with £23000 of
funding secured during the reporting period.
We failed in our bid to secure long-term
operational funding from the National Lottery
and resorted instead to securing smaller
amounts of funding from multiple sources –
in this we were successful.
Café and tuck shop sales were in line with
expectation.
Salary costs are by far our biggest expense.
Going forward we will need to evaluate
whether or not this is a viable on-going
operational model but we are conscious that
securing volunteer help is notoriously difficult
in our area.
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held		 Para 1.22 Our approach to reserves was to cover
those areas of cost such as remuneration for
2 part time employees and any utility
monthly payments.
The level of reserves (as a separate
account) was zero. We endeavoured to
ensure income and grants covered all
outgoings. We agreed an overdraft with the
bank, but thiswasneverused.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 Zero
Reasons for holding zero
reserves		 Para 1.22 Our principal costs are remuneration for
salaried part-time employees involved in
supervisory tasks. However, these are
typically grant funded and when funds are
not available those staff involved revert to a
volunteerbasis.
Details of fund materially in
deficit		 Para 1.24 None
Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going
concern		 Para 1.23 Not applicable

A description of the principal
risks facing the charity		 Para 1.46 The principal risk is the reliance on grant
funding for on-going core operation of the
charity. If significant grant funding cannot be
secured in the first half of the new financial
year then the operational model of the
charity will be reviewed.
