LOOKING AHEAD The Centre is owned by the Presbyterian Church of Wales (pcw) whith is looking at options to redu the size of its estste. In discussions with the General Secretary of the PCW in May. Parkfields Trustees have been given three options" 1. to remain in the Centre on a peppercom rent we would need to change the wording of our constitution lo 'advancement of the Christian faith. from 'a practical expression of the Christian faith, in order to mirror the PCWS constitution,. 2. pay a commercial rent with a new lease- 3. purchase the Centre from the PCW. After careful consideration of the options. in March 2024 Parkfields Management Committee decided to purchase the Centre from PCW and find grant funding. After two years Unrtainty. in March we heard that the United Reformed Church (URC) and PCW had decided that Patkfields Communty Centre would not be included in the remit of the future minister of the Alun Vale Pastorate. Existing funding for ouryouth and Children's Worker finishes in May 2024 and tt is essential that we source altemative funding to o)ntinue this absolutely neSSary post. We intend to maintain our existing range of community actNities working in partnership with the community, Statutory organisations. churches. other organisations I charities and businesses to further devek)p our community projects.
