With the help of Clarion futures, we paid our rent for 2026, there was a grant of £5000 to assist. With our increased membership, currently 74, we were able to afford our rent and cover our overheads. Membership is £15 or £10 a month depending on membership level. The increase in membership has mainly been ladies joining to undertake an art class and participate in crafts. We were hoping to obtain our own property, but two options didn’t materialise. We are in contact with local councillors with the hope of finding our own property. Our current landlord, Broom Boats has agreed a 2 year extension to our tenancy agreement. This will run to 31st Dec 2028
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
The treasurer's report has been produced, our current balance is £24652.87. We would like to build a contingency fund of £25000 to cover any legal fees, agents fees with securing another property. We are very well established with tools, infrastructure and now have Youtube training videos for new members. We have helped several community projects for the scouts and guides (bird boxes), village signs. The members helped with producing scenery for a drama group so they could put on a play at one of Norwich's larger theaters. There have been social events, a Christmas for community leaders and partners, dinner, bus trip around Norwich, Christmas mince pie and nibbles with a band playing Christmas hits. There have been numerous donations of tools and electrical items. Many of which we refurbished and with the electrical items tested, these have all been sold to members or at our fairs raising £6011. 86
