ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE IN THEYEAR At our AGM in June 2025 Haydn Jones. chair of Parkfields Community Centre presented his annual report for 2024-2025 sawng that, after nearly four years in the role. the AGM would be the last time he held the position of chairperson at the Centre. A rde which was made easy when you had a team of trustees and staff around you that work incredibly hard and are devoted to the cause. It was now time for a new chairperson with new ideas to take the Centre to a new level. During the past four years there had been many changes but non as wonderful as the unexpected news that Parkfields had received a donation in October 2024. enabling the charity to purchase the Centre from the Presbyterian Church of Wales in March 2025. The donation was given as a gift to purchase the Centre. in order to save it as a community ￿ntre. delivering and supporting much needed servI￿S in the area. Such is the kindness and sIn￿rity of the donation that the local family wish to remain low key in their involvement. Their kindness will remain embedded in Parkfields and Haydn said that he was honoured as chairperson to thank them sin￿rely. The Centre exists thanks to the work of many volunteers and the trustees who devote many hours to make the Centre function. Haydn particularly thanked the treasurer and the volunteer who year after year kept the grounds in pristine condition. The Community Fridge goes from strength to strength with a dedicated team of volunteers who work hard to maintain its continuity. Haydn said that the part time staff are led with a great sense of direction by our centre manager. aided by the administrator and caretaker. The fun and enjoyable Kid's and Youth Clubs are enjoyed by many youngslers in the area. Our youth leader. together with her C0-v￿rkerS are prowding a great serwce. Now that the Centre belongs to the charity. Haydn could see the role of our first class funding support offi￿r becoming even more important. Haydn conduded by thanking everyone who had helped him during his time as chairperson. A time he would remember with pride and satisfaction and the hope that he had helped in a small but productive way. He wished Parkfields every Suc￿sS in the future. Trustees Rev Daniel Morgan a nominated trustee from St Mary's Church resigned in September 2024, when he left Mold Mission. Dan regularly attended our Community Café offering welcome pastoral care and help when needed" as well as supporting our community parties. We wish him well in his new pastorate. Two new trustees have been welcomed to Parkfields, they are Esther Andrews who joined in October 2024. Esther has been a regular vdunteer at Kid's Club for many years as part of her role as youth worker for Mold Mission. She repla￿S Dan as a nominated trustee from St Mary's Church. Charles Pratt joined in January 2025. he is a local Mdd businessman and has experience in youth work. Charlie brings useful expertise and knowledge about local tradespeople to the Management Committee and a passion for young people being offered the opportunity to take part in outdoor activities. Communlty Frldge and Community Café Our Community Fridge scheme is run by volunteers and trustees. It 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 from organisations and individuals enabling us to purchase additional food and essential personal hygiene items. We are very grateful to have received funding from the Co-op Local Community Fund" Neighbourly Foundation - Sainsburys and Margaret Davies Charity to purchase food. On the same mornings as the Community Fridge a Community Café is run by volunteers. It opens an hour before the Fridge so people can wait inside. be warm and have light refreshments. Some people spend the moming at the Café enjoying a 'chat and a cuppa,, so helping to relieve the problem of social isolation. Extemal agencies including Flintshire Housing and the local PCSOS come to the Café regularly to offer drop-in support and signposting to residents who need advice. Funding from Flintshire County Council's Wami Hub towards the Café is very wel￿me. "I'd just like to say how grateful l am foryour help pmviding food. Thank you." Jean Kid's Club and Youth Clubs On Wednesdays Kid's Club for primary aged children is held at Parkfields from 3.30pm. followed by a Youth Club for 11 to 13 year olds from 5.15pm. On Saturday there's a joint club from 11.30am. All the Clubs are free and popular. with the number of young people attending Youth Club steadily increasing. Essential hot food is provided at the Clubs thanks to a grant from Flintshire County Council's Direct Food Support fund. "Some of the young people can be very hungry asking for seconds and, when asked, they tell us they haven't eaten much that day." Parkfields Youth and Children's w0￿er We are very grateful for funding from the Steve Morgan Foundation and Mold Town Council, which has enabled us to continue employing our experienced part time Youth and Children's Worker for a further hvelve months.

Tracey Mold Repair Café Mold Repair Café is organised by volunteers and held at 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 if and so save people money; reduce the amount of repairable items going to waste. and the materials and C02 involved in that PrO￿ss. The volunteer fixers have many skills from bike maintenance 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 lo be amongst like-minded people and members of the 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. A grant from Enfinium enabled volunteers to have training in hand tool sharpening and PAT testing as well as helping to support the room hire cost. General Room hire bookings have increased from 2023-24 but are not back to pre-pandemic levels. Serrfices previously provided by statutory bodies at the Centre have been cut with public sector funding restraints. The trustees and management committee met ten times induding the AGM to maintain good governan￿ and support the staff and volunteets. At these meetings our policies. risk assessments. finances and ser¥ices are regularly reviewed and updated. Volunteers make an important contribution to mainlaining the Centre and grounds and also in helping to deliver serrfices that Parkfields offers to the community. For instance, collecting surplus food from supennarkets. running the Community Fridge and Community Café; running a monthly Mold Repair Café. fundraising, being advocates and promoting our sep4ices. Working closely wrth the volunteers and trustees the part time Centre Manager and staff ensure that Parkfields is a welcoming. well-run facility, deliver high quality seNices to local residents, centre user groups. other seplice providers and organisations. Grant Funding Previously mentioned above is grant funding for youth provision, addressing food poverty and staff funding for the Youth and Children's Worker. An award from the Albert Hunt Trust has helped fund the Centre Manager post. which enabled us to continue and develop our engagement with the community. Other grants included welcome funding from the Beatrice Laing Trust for capital costs towards LED lighting.

With capttal costs still being spent from Morrison's Foundation. Grants and donations are absolutely essential to funding the services we offer at Parkfields and we are extremely grateful to those funding bodies. organisations and individuals that support us and the local community. How our activities deliver public benefft The charity carries out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The trustees consider that these benefit the local community 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 Services for supervised Family Contact meetings. Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board audiology sessions. Fitness Cla&￿S. and Outside Lives Magic Mondays. Our well-used Community Fridge scheme is supported by environmental charity Hubbub UK, a nationwide network to lackle food waste and also the Neighb)urly and Fareshare giving platforms. which re-distribute surplus fo(Kl from local supermarkets. The Fridge operates on the simple princAple 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. Community 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 pla￿ to be after school on Wednesdays and on Saturdays wtth food provided. Engaging with other organisations our Youth and Children's Worker is addressing some of the local issues. Partnership working is key to delivering servI￿S for people in the area and Parkfields is a trusted partner for many organisations and local businesses. LOOKING AHEAD Now that the Charity owns the Centre and the lease is resolved. we will try and secure capital funding to make the building more energy efficient. This will include replacing some of the windows and the front door: upgrading the lighting to LEDS throughout and replacing some of the old electric wall mounted heaters. We intend to maintain our existing range of community activities working in partnership with the community. statutory organisations. churches. other organisations I charities and businesses to further develop our community projects. Strengthen our relationships with Flintshire Sorted (County Council drug and alcohol team), local PCSOS from South Flintshire Police. Mold Town Council and the Community Clubhouse and Gardens to engage with young people and give them more opportunities. Continue to ask and listen to what members of the local communty and our user groups want and do our best to deliver that. FINANCIAL REVIEW PCCS. policy on reserves is to hold sufficienl resources to continue the charitable activities of the PCC should income and fundraising activities fall short. Excluding the restricted sums, we hold (ash at the bank of over £36,000. These funds are held in order to meet any unforeseen expenditure that may occur. for example propety repairs.
