## **KCC ANNUAL REPORT 2020-2021** **Knucklas Community Centre was formerly owned by Powys County Council (PCC), managed on their behalf by Charity 1096470, trustees Avril Hoyle, John Bowen and David Hawkins, under a lease dated 2 November 2002. In March 2018 PCC** t ~~T~~ ~~**r**~~ **ansferred the ownership of the Centre to Begui** l **dy Community Council (BCC) with the transfer of the management to a sub-committee of BCC, the members being the trustees of charity 1096470.** On the 2 September 2020 a new charity 1191123 was registered with trustees Kevin Jones, Ann Jones and David Hawkins, to replace charity 1096470. With the registration of the new charity with aims compatible with charity 1096470 it was possible to transfer funds held by that charity and the subcommittee to charity 11911123. This is reflected in the first statement of financial activities. **On the 2 September 2020 a new charity 1191123 was registered trustees Kevin Jones, Ann Jones and David Hawkins, to replace charity 1096470. Entering into a lease with BCC the charity became responsible for the management of the centre from 1st October 2020.** **With the registration of the new charity with aims compatible with charity 1096470 it was possible to transfer funds held by that charity and the subcommittee to charity 11911123. This is reflected in the first statement of financial activities.** ~~The revised charity (ref. 1191123) took a lease of the centre from Beguildy Community Council (BCC) on 1st October 2020 and is responsible for the management of the centre. The~~ ~~Trustees are Kevin Jones (Chairman), Ann Jones and David Hawkins.~~ A management committee consists of the trustees and Petra Ford, Suzy Pardoe-Bouchard. ~~, and John Bowen.~~ Jackie Smith was secretary for the early part of the year. John Bowen acts as ~~is the t~~ reasurer although no longer living in the village and not formally on the committee. We would like to fnd a local person to take over this. ~~.~~ There have been no contact meetings due to the pandemic, and all discussion has been by email. Transferring all accounts etc. to the new trustees has been long winded but is now complete. Registered correspondence address is c/o 1 Heyope Road, Knucklas ( ~~Kevin Jones~~ Chairman’s address). Insurance is paid by BCC on our behalf. ## HALL We have had new front doors installed to replace ones which were failing, the cost largely covered by a grant from the Wind Farm charity. We have been looking for a firm to repair a small, occasional roof leak under the solar panels, but it impossible to find a contractor prepared to do it at present. The low wall at the entrance has been vandalised and we are intending to repair and improve it. Because of the vandalism we are considering installing CCTV to discourage it. At present we have not had a need for a cleaner. Minor jobs are dealt with by Mike Powell, Handyman. Otherwise, the building is in excellent condition. ## FINANCE The accounts are available and show a healthy balance of about £35,000. During the spring we closed our Affirmative Bank deposit account (due to negligible interest) and moved our general account from CAF Bank to the Co-operative Bank. This saves costs of about £100 pa. and means we can use the local Post Office for withdrawals and deposits. The effect of the pandemic has, of course, meant that for much of the year there was no income from users. The craft group are the first regular users to return. A very useful source of income is the photo-voltaic panels. The national election was another useful income. BCC have been very supportive, using the centre for meetings on alternate months, and making donations. The Welsh government have donated £10,000 as part of their support to community centres. ## ACTIVITIES A highlight of the year was the Knucklas Fete, organised by the Knucklas Castle Community Land Project. This generated a lot of interest in the centre which we hope will lead to new uses. Several people discovered the tennis court and it may get more use. There was a good report in the Mid-Wales Journal. Play Radnor have been using the field for kids games over the summer. The feld is mowed by the Community Council at no cost to us. The Teme Valley Garden club, Ladies Guild and the indoor bowls group have not restarted. There is a large stock of outdoor play equipment and indoor equipment that seems redundant (much of it from the Youth Group when it closed). We have circulated a list to local youth organisers and found no interest so far. The centre is responsible for three web sites: knucklas.org.uk; knucklacommcentre.org.uk; and beguildycc. knucklas.org.uk (for Beguildy Community Council). As a charity we get free hosting.
