## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** ## **From 01.04.2022 Period start date To 31.03.2023 Period end date** ## **Charity name: Townsend Community Association** ## **Charity registration number: 1193324** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|To benefit the lives of local residents and
others by management of the community
centre to bring together organisations to
provide education, social welfare and leisure
activities.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|Grants are obtained to run a community
fridge to provide additional food to residents
5 days a week. Advice/courses in cooking
and food management skills are offered from
time to time. A warm space is provided in
winter and a convivial environment all year
for craft and coffee mornings. Regular
weekly lettings of the hall are to a church
group, a Tibetan children’s group, a dance
group and Tai Chi classes .Residents also
hold family occasions such as parties,
wakes, and other celebrations. Income from
letting averages £200 per week. The
“Community Growers” project has for several
years given residents the opportunity to
learn how to grow their own fruit and
vegetables, and to support the Community
Fridge in times of plenty. The Centre also
provides a base for support with school
uniform purchases, a Good Neighbour
scheme, and the 3Ts community support
group.| |Statement confirming

achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|The main achievement of the charity for the
past few years has been the running of our
community fridge, which began as a “waste-
not want-not” project but expanded vastly
during Covid-19 to reach out to many local
families suffering extreme need. In doing
this, we gave support to deal with other
problems and helped to keep the community
in touch. Subsequently this has led to grant-
supported food-related workshops, skill-
learning, especially encouraging young
mums and single residents to expand their
abilities. During the morning visits to the TCF
an estimated 30/40 residents enjoy
socialising at coffee mornings, craft sessions
and obtain help with problems in their daily
lives. We continue to encourage local groups
to set up leisure activities to benefit our
residents and local people generally; overall
participation is approx. 50 people per week.| |**Financial Review**||| |Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|2022/23 is the first full year of trading as a
CIO. Our income of £59K+ is augmented by
the transfer of funds of £37865 from our
previous charity. The majority of our normal
financial activity relates to restricted funds,
mainly the Townsend Community Fridge
(receipts £8231, payments £6124) but our
unrestricted funds of are sufficient to meet
the needs of running the charity and
maintaining the Community Centre itself.| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|We are currently in process of taking on a
lease from BCP Council. Discussions are
still ongoing. We are also in process of
becoming responsible for the payment of
gas, which has historically been the
responsibility of BCP Council. We need to
make provision for other increased service
costs, particularly electricity. Once the lease
has been signed we wish to refurbish the
toilets/washrooms and to extend our office,.
For this, we hope to obtain grants but are
allowing for a contribution to be requested
from TCA.: The designated amounts are:
Solicitors: £1000, Gas & other service
increases: £4000, Contribution to
refurbishment: £5000. Total: £10,000, which
we have put in an interest-earning reserve
account with Lloyds Bank.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|£10,000.| |Reasons for holding zero

The banking process caused long delays and uncertainty in the matter of advising clients and service providers when the new account was active and some lack of co-operation also caused delays. The final transfers took place in September and October 2022, and the old bank account was closed in December 2022.** ## **Declarations** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s)** Joan Richards **Full name(s)** Jasmin Parsons **Position (eg Secretary,** Secretary **Chair, etc) Date** 24 January 2024 ||**Townsend Community Association**
