St James Community Partnership Charity Number:     1194320 

Annual Report: 01/05/2021 to 

31/12/2021 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

St James Community Partnership (The Partnership) manages and maintains St James Community Hall for the use of the inhabitants of Bolton and Undercliffe, Bradford, West Yorkshire and surrounding areas without distinction of gender/gender alignment, sexual orientation, and race or of political, religious or other opinions. 

The community hall is available for meetings, lectures and classes and other forms of recreation and leisure-time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the inhabitants. 

## **Achievements** 

Lockdown was still in place in May but regular zoom meetings saw a business plan being put in place for the next 5 years, an application for a lease for the community hall from the local church was prepared and ready to be validated by the end of December 2021 and preparations made to ensure everything would be ready for the hall to reopen when restrictions were lifted. 

The main hall was completely redecorated and a further area turned into a more usable space to include a refreshment station. 

As part of the business plan the hall sessions and hiring charges were reviewed. This gave new opportunities for existing groups, openings for new ones and ensure the hall would be financially secure in the future. 



Groups returned to the hall in September 2021 following the appropriate Covid guidelines. Requests were made from a number of people for sessions as their venues had not reopened but unfortunately it wasn’t possible to accommodate all of them. 

The hall holds activities for all age groups from 0 to 90+.  A new group, ‘Ted’s, opened for mums, babies and toddlers with the aid of a grant. The group is supported by Early Years Alliance, who are funded by Bradford Council and runs during term time. In addition the hall has been popular for family events that were curtailed during lockdown. 

Various grants were obtained during lockdown to enhance the area local to the hall, improve the building and prepare for reopening. 

Spending these grants has taken longer than expected as goods have been in short supply and making contact with people for permission to undertake various tasks. 

A Cleaner Street Grant meant that litter picking equipment was purchased and times set aside to keep the local area tidy.  This grant also allowed the purchase of daffodil bulbs that were planted on a grassy plot near the hall.  This grant still has money to spend and a bench will be purchased. 

St James Community Hall will celebrate its 55[th] Anniversary in 2022. The hall requires some major maintenance, repairs and updating as would be expected of any building of this age. With this in mind The Partnership are looking to the future and will continue to work hard to provide a community hub for all. 

## **Financial Review** 

Total receipts for the period May to December 2021 is £38,543. This is made up of £15,074 external hire, £23,000 grants of which £15,000 is restricted, £300 fund raising and £169 sundry income. 

Expenditure for the same period is £15,415 which is made up of £13,463 running expenses, £452 management and administration and £1500 charitable donation. 

## **Restricted Policy** 



The Partnership agreed to retain a balance on unrestricted funds which equates to at least 6 months expenditure. For this period it was £7,500 to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. This is to be reviewed annually. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The Partnership is made up of 10 trustees. This includes the incumbent of St James Church and representation from both the church and hall users. 

The trustees met once on zoom and 4 times in person during the period May to December. Minutes were taken at all meetings. 

## **Administrative information** 

St James Community Hall is situated in Beaufort Grove, Bradford, West Yorkshire and was registered with the Charity Commission on May 4[th] 2021 as a CIO. 

The trustees who have served from May 4[th] 2021 to 31[st] December 2021 are as follows: 

Rev. Stephen Lees    Chair Sue Steward Vice Chair John Pilgrim Treasurer Barbara Matley   Secretary Susan Stones James Smart Anne Smith Steve Frost Chris Stones Jenny Medley
