invaluable.

Hampton a nominated trustee from the PCW with expertise in youth work and Rev Dan
Morgan a nominated Irustee from St Mary's who has been helping at Parkfields since he

Thanking the Centre's staff, Haydn was pleased to report that our part time Centre

local residents, ￿ntre user groups. other Sep41￿ providers and organisations.
Our Community Fridge scheme is well organised by our part time administrator, with help
from volunteers and trustees. The scheme has been operational since November 2020.
and continues to be in demand with an increase in households in need of free food.
Surplus supermarket food meets some of this need. with grant funding and donations
frorn organisations and individuals enabling us to purchase additional food and essential

personal hygiene items. ￿ are very grateful to have received funding from the COPOP
Local Communty Fund,. Mold Town Council's Mayor's Fund and Neighbourly Foundation
- Sainsburys to purchase fO￿J.
On the same mornings as the Community Fridge a Community Café is run by volunteers
at the Centre. It opens an hour before the Fridge so people can wait inside. be warm and
have light refreshments. Some peop￿ spend the morning at the Café enjoying a 'chat
and a cuppa,, so helping to relieve the problem of social isolation. External agencies
including Wami Wales and Flintshire Housing come to the Café regularly to offer drop-in
support and S￿npoSting to residents who need advice. A member of St Mary's Mold
Mission team regulady calls in and is available to give pastoral care.
Grant funding from the Steve Morgan Foundation in May has enabled us to employ a part
time Youth and Chiklren's Worker for iwelve months. They come with a wealth of
experience and are settling in well. with an increase in the number of primary aged
children attending our Kid's Clubs. A monthly topic-based programme includes finding out
about other countries through their cultures and food. Food is always provided at Kid's
Club thanks to a grant from the Margaret Davies Foundation. Tesco Stronger Starts and
Money Supermarket. INe are very grateful for the support of St Mary's Church Youth

Parkfields.
Mold Repair Café is organised by volunteers and hekl al Parkfields On￿ a month.
People can bring in their broken household items and have them repaired for free by a
volunteer fixer. The idea is to 'fix it- don't bin it, and so save people money", reduce the
amount of repairable items going to waste. and the materials and C02 involved in that
process. The volunteer fixers have many skills from bike Maintenan￿ to sewing machine
repairs and are happy to pass those skills on to the owners of the items. It is a very
sociable session with volunteers happy to be amongst like-minded people and members
ofthe public coming in for a drink and a chat in a relaxed welcoming place. The Mold
scheme is part of Repair Café Cymru and volunteers can attend training sessions from
Inclusion, diversity and equality to PAT testing.

Room hire bookings have increased from 2022-23 but are not back to pre-pandemic
levels. servI￿s previously prowded by statutory bodies at the Centre have been cut with
public sector funding restraints.

How our activities deliver public benefit
The charity carries out a wide range of activities in pursuan￿ of its charitable aims. The
trustees consider that these benefit the local communty of Bryn Gwalia and the wider
community of Mold.
The rooms in our Centre are available for use by local groups and organisations. In this
reporting period they were used by groups as varied as Coleg Cambria for Essential
Skills Maths l English. Al-Anon Family Meeting groups, Flintshire County Council
Children's Social servI￿s for supervised Family Contact meetings, Betsi Cadwaladr
University Health Board audiology sessions. Fitness das*s, and Outside Lives Magic
Mondays.

Our well-used Communty Fridge scheme is supported by environmental charity Hubbub
UK, a nationwide nelwork to tackle food waste and also the Neighbourfy and Fareshare
giving plattonns. which re-distribute surplus food from local supermarkets.
The Fridge operates on the simple principle of take what you need, give what you can.
The food is either quality surplus, donated or purchased through donations and grants.
Anyone from Mold can drop-in to Parkfields and collect what food there is that day. We
have seen an increase in the number of households using the Fridge.
Communty Fridge volunteers all attend training for Food Hygiene and Safety Level 2.
Our Kid's and Youth Clubs have given children and young people from the area a safe
fun place to be after sthool and on Saturdays with food provided. Engaging with other
organisations our Youth and Children's Ilk)rker is address some of the local issues.
Partnership working ts key to deli￿ring ServI￿S for people in the area and Parkfields is a
trusted partner for many organisations and k)cal businesses.
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 Un￿rtainty. 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 ne￿SSary 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.
