its purposes. Trustees are appointed for an initial period of three years and can serve up to
three terms. The Trustees meet on a quarterly basis to deal with strategic matters, to
approve policies and major operational decisions and lo monitor the progress of the charity

Trustees Responsibilities

Achievements and performance
On behalf of Leatherhead Community Hub, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude
to everyone who has supported us during the last year, by volunteering their time, donating
money. coming to the café and joining in community activities.
As we approach our third anniversary, we have seen LCH develop from an empty, rundown
building into a thriving community centre at the heart of North Leatherhead. Last year, we
welcomed ov8r 40,000 visitors lo the Old Schoolhouse Café and other community aclivit18S
and events at the Hub. Our friendly and affordable Café is one of the top-rated eateries in
Lealherhead and has become a second home and support ne￿Ork for many. One regular
told us: 'The café means everything to us. Like a warm. friendly. caring family, you make us
feel loved and part of the community. Thank you so muGh.'
At least 30 other local organisalions and community groups regulady use LCH for art
workshops, yoga classes, bingo evenings, counselling sessions, peer support groups and
much more besides. in line wilh our vision for the Hub to be a place for people to connect,
have fun, leam, and gel the support they need to thrive.
LCH has become a safety nel for individuals and families who are struggling financially and
in other ways. Thanks to the generous support from funders, the community is able lo
access many free or affordable activities. including our monthly community meal (Family
Feast) and children's movie night {Friday Film),1 as well as our annual Summer BBQ and
Christmas Party. We also run a weekly Advice Café. offering drop-in advice on debt, benefits
and other issues, working alongside other local charities and service providers. As one of
Surrey's Warm Welcome venues, every Glient who visited the Advice Café between
November and March was offered a £5 Pay it Forward voucher.
Back in May. we signed a 25-year lease agreement with Mole Valley District Council,
enabling us to invest in improvements to the building and facilities for the long-term. We
created a new meeting room for hire, refurbished the kitchen and toilets by the main hall,
and installed new flooring in the Café and double glazing in the Hive creative arts space.
There are already plans to bring the old pigeon sheds back into use in the coming year.
During the summer our on-site partner, All Saints Preschod, was threatened with closure
due to funding cuts. Greatly needed and well loved by the wider community, LCH and olhers

stepped in to help put together a recovery plan and we are delighted that the future of the
Preschool is now looking much brighter.
Another highlight of the year was seeing the community come together to protect their local
GP service. The Molebridge Practice. At a packed meeting organised by LCH. which was
attended by the Integrated Care Board, local residents shared their concems about
reductions in GP seryices and difficulties accessing appropriate and timely care. Their
feedback was inslrumental in facilitating the transition to new management under Dr Barham
and Dr Manlzari, and we look forward to working with them to support this vital service.
In September, we partnered with the Mary Frances Trust to launch the Men's Pitstop - a
weekly welcoming, confidential space for men offering peer support, and a valuable chance
to chat and share. with a particular focus on mental health and well-being.
Then in November. we took part in a Camival of Kindness. organised by Freewheelers.
including a colourful lantern procession followed by drinks in the Hub. Prior to the event, we
hosted lant8rn making workshops - each lantem celebrating the daily acts of kindness
between friends and neighbours in North Leatherhead. The following day. we held our
annual Christmas party and craft fair, with plentiful food and a live band. The children got to
meet Santa in his grotto and parents were able to buy affordable new and nearfy nèw
Christmas presents.
In February, local families were treated to a free performance of the River Runner, an
exhilarating tale of courage, community and speedy skating, performed by a very talented
group of actors and musicians from Famham Maltings, a pioneering Surrey-based cultural
organisation. We look forward to hosting them again later this year.
None of this activity would have been possible without our amazing team of volunteers,
trustees, and staff. This year, Linda joined the Café team to help run the kitchen, and Julie
and Stuart replaced Be¢ci, as our fundraising and bookings officers, respectively. More
recently, Claire and Ruth came onto the payroll to recognise their vital role in managing our
finances and running the cenlre. We are so grateful to everyone who has helped to bring
LCH'S vision to life on a daily basis.
Thank you also to the many individuals and organisalions who have generou51y donated to
us over the past year, both financially and in-kind. These indude the Community Foundation
for Surrey s Winter Povety Fund. Elliptycs. Garfield Weslon Foundation. Leatherhead and

Financial Review
The results for the period and the charity's financial position at 31 March 2025 are shown in
the following financial statements.
During the period. the Charity had income of £274.271 {2024= £219.3711 and expenditure of
£275,290 {2024.' £175,148). There was an operating deficit of £1,019 {2024'. surplus of
£44,223).
Voluntary income remained strong and continued to benefit from a major three-year grant
from the Nalional Lottery Community Fund towards utility costs and the costs of employing
our Caretaker. The National Lottery Community Fund also provided support for us to
8mploy a Community Chef.
In the year 6nding 31 March 2024. we were very fortunate to receive a significant donation
from an individual supporter to help us establish ourselves as a sustainable operation and
that support enabled us to seek out and secure additional funding from both trusts and
govérnment bodies to support our ongoing activities and improve our facilitiès - we wer8
able to generate almost £30,000 more support from Trusts than in 2024.
We also received almost £25,000 more support from government bodies primarily focussed
on improving th8 building and we are v8ry grateful for Mole Valley District Council's support
in this regard
Cafe takings increased and margins improved. This was despite keeping prices as low as
possible and was largely due to higher sales volumes and tighter controls on stock and
wastage.
On the cost side, salaries increased significantly as we brought on board more part time staff
to support the delivery of our objectives to support the community in North Leatherhea¢J.
We took on a long-term lease for the whole of the building and incurred major building costs
of over £88.000 mainly relating io the reslrucluring and refurbishment of the nursery. th8
creation of an additional meeting room and energy efficiency improvements. This
expenditure was supported primarily by grants from Mole Valley District Council and the
generous support of many individuals.
Planning for the future
We will look to obtain funding to support our work in supporting the community both through
providing suitable space for our partners to carry out their community focussed activities and
through activilies we organise ourselves.
We will continue to build on the Suc￿sS of the café while keeping prices as low as
sustainable.
We are also hopeful that we will be able to obtain funding for further building improvement
work which will enable some of our partners to operate more efficiently and lo allow us to
provide more to the community-

Reserves policy
Given the potential volatility of income and the age of the building which may require further
investment, we aim to hold unrestricted reserves representing between 3 months and 6
months core expenditure to ensure that we can meet our ongoing needs. At the year-end
unrestricted funds represent approximately 4.5 months of our expected core expenditure.
The Trustees are satisfied that, for the present, actions have been put in train to ensure the
financial viability of the charity.
