Activities

The Centre is a West Cumbrian charity that provides social and creative opportunities for people to connect and grow. We are based at The Centre, our community building in Ewanrigg, Maryport.

By providing creative and social opportunities we are growing a community that creates positive change, improving life chances for individuals and future generations.

Our vision is a community that helps each other walk through doors of opportunity.

The Centre host lots of regular activities at The Centre, some organised by us, and some are run by external providers who hire The Centre as a venue. In addition, we also have special events and trips throughout the year. All The Centre’s activities have been designed to meet The Centre’s charitable objectives, to maximise public benefit and to comply with the Charity Commission public benefit guidance.

The Centre’s main activities include…

Coffee and Crack - Coffee and Crack is a chance to enjoy a homecooked meal with some good company in a warm and friendly place. Coffee and Crack takes place every Tuesday at The Centre from 12pm to 1.30pm (food is served at 12.30pm). We operate a ‘pay what you can’ model with a suggested minimum donation of £3. Kids eat for a £1. Coffee and Crack is also a great place to get a bit of signposting support for health & wellbeing worries. We work with a wide range of health, social and wellbeing organisations and agencies who will pop along to Coffee and Crack on a regular basis and chat to residents about their concerns. Agencies and organisations who attend when they can include social prescribers, Age UK North Cumbria, DWP, Citizens Advice Bureau, frailty coordinators, physios, PCSOs and more.

Maryport Matters - Maryport Matters is a free, full colour, quarterly, community magazine which serves residents from the town and the surrounding areas including Flimby, Dearham, Crosby, Crosscanonby and Broughton Moor. It provides news and original features to inform, connect and empower residents as well as celebrating community achievements. Based at The Centre, it is created by the community for the community. It relies on advertising, sponsorship and funding to keep it going. Launched in 2016 the magazine is a firm favourite in the area and is the only town specific publication. A distribution company delivers magazines through letterboxes in the local villages and the town centre. Local residents, businesses, community groups and school children get together to help deliver to the streets surrounding The Centre with 40 – 100 volunteers regularly helping out each distribution round.

Fun days and special events - The Centre organises annual free family fun days, suitable for all ages where hundreds of people enjoy food and refreshments, inflatables, activities, stalls and more. The Centre’s annual lantern festival is a fabulous, free, friendly, community event for all ages where people roll their sleeves up, get creative, learn how to make a lantern and meet new friends. The lantern parade lights up the streets of Ewanrigg led by drummers and watched by hundreds of people.

Community use of The Centre - The Centre is hired by groups and organisations throughout the year. Weekly The Centre hosts Ewanrigg Community Choir, Maryport Chess Club, Shout Parent Support Group, Speech After Stroke Club, Brownies and Armchair Yoga.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Achievements during this period include but are not limited to:

The Centre continues to build on, deliver and develop plans and strategies that have been evolving from 12 years of ‘on the ground, resident led’ community work that was previously delivered by the Ewanrigg Local Trust and by the Ewanrigg and Netherton Tenants Association. This work includes community engagement, community communication and community infrastructure development plans and strategies – all three areas work towards a shared vision, mission and values.

Community need and demand for The Centre activities continued to grow throughout this period with an estimated footfall of 15,000 people throughout this period.

With funding from Allerdale Radioactive Waste Management/Geological Disposal Facility, The Centre has been able to develop new areas of income generation research and activity.

With most personnel (staff, trustees, volunteers) involved for 12 years, The Centre continued to benefit from the expertise, loyalty and experience of those involved whilst navigating a year of operational change and consolidation, and a year that, nationally, saw costs rise and available funding reduce.

Monitoring, tracking and evaluation of the impact and outcomes of our work highlighted the benefits to the community of our activities, as reported by community members. These benefits include reducing loneliness and isolation, improved health and wellbeing, improved sense of belonging, new friendships and support networks, greater uptake of health and wellbeing services and activities, reduction in financial stress, increased learning opportunities and knowledge, increased aspirations.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

In The Centre’s first twelve months of trading as The Centre the key things to note when analysing end of year figures are:

The accounts reflect income generated through hire of the building and through the selling of paid for advertising in Maryport Matters.

Restricted income from grant funding that has been received in this financial year has not yet been fully spent. Any amounts received in this financial year still showing at the end of this financial year will be spent in the year 2024 – 2025 and will be used according to grant funding agreements.

The accounts don’t reflect a full 12 months of operational expenditure, as during this period the Ewanrigg and Netherton Tenants Association were still the named account holder for most bills such as utility bills, council tax, waste management etc. During this year changes of tenancy from ENTRA to The Centre were completed.

RESERVES POLICY

The Trustees have agreed a reserves policy of maintaining the equivalent of three months expenditure in unrestricted funds so that The Centre has sufficient time to source new funding or close in an orderly manner in the event of an unexpected reduction in income

Trustees have agreed this equates to £30,000 based on the budget for the financial year 2025 / 2026 and that any shortfall in unrestricted funds will be addressed through further fundraising and any surplus will be invested in the further development of The Centre

This policy will be reviewed annually to ensure that the Centre has sufficient unrestricted funds to fulfil its legal and financial obligations

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Centre is a charitable business that is limited by guarantee, and registered with the Charity Commission and with Companies House. Trustees comply with a constitution which details articles of association.

The methods used to recruit and appoint new charity trustees is laid out in The Centre constitution and is supported by a Trustee Recruitment Policy. The constitution states that the board shall comprise a majority of Trustees who live, work or volunteer in West Cumbria and the surrounding area; and all trustees are required to be registered with Companies House.

Expenditure

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:

Freehold property 0 -10% Straight line Fixtures, fittings and office 20% Straight line equipment

Freehold investment property

Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.

Stocks

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

Trade and other debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Page 13

The Centre, West Cumbria Ltd Notes to the Accounts

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Research and development

Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.

Foreign currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred.

All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.

Leased assets

Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.

Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services

All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.

Restricted funds: GDF/RWM Community The GDF/RWM funding (Sep 2023 – Mar 2025) allowed The Centre to Partnership contract two professionals for 18 months to deliver business-critical work. One focused on income generation, developing strategies to secure a target of £100,000 in funding and long-term economic benefit, alongside a communications strategy. The other focused on community engagement, helping residents reconnect post-lockdown and participate in The Centre’s development. The work provided a significant boost, with lasting benefits for the organisation and community.
