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
without distinction of sex or of political,
religious or other opinions”.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|In the spirit of our founding constitution, the
Wigmore Village Community Centre trustees
continue to:
•Implement a changing programme of
community events/services across all tastes,
pockets, and age groups, initiated from
residents’ requests
•Maintain links with related community
organisations within the county for the
benefit of our residents

public WCs (Wigmore and adjoining areas
are popular with local and national walking
groups)
•Provide a well-equipped meeting space for
local businesses, advice centres, and
community supply organisations eg medical
needs/prescriptions/advice
Generically, the Trustees also:

of the Village Hall;

Hall;

issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit|Para 1.18|All of the activities cited above, relating to
our purposes comply with guidance on
public benefit.| ## **Additional information (optional)** ## You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Policy on grant making|Para 1.38|Not applicable| |Policy on social investment
including program related
investment|Para 1.38|Not applicable| |Contribution made by
volunteers|Para 1.38|During this financial year, two of the trustees
were volunteers. The three paid staff
members also contributed the same amount
of time on a volunteer basis. Volunteers also
ran the tots group, tuck shop and on
occasion provided oversight during the youth
group.| |Other||| ## **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.| |**Additional information (optional)**

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

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.| |Other||| ## **Structure, Governance and Management** |Description of charity’s
