CHAIR'S REPORT The St John's Instltute. now known as the Park Centre, was built in 1872 and gifted to the town by 19th Century artlsi and philanthropist Emily Temple. The Institute was originally used for a range of recreational and lelsure actlvities including concert parties and major events such as reli8ious and politlcal meetings. It was vested in the Charity of Emily Temple by Charity Commlsslon Scheme of I November 1912 and then transferred to the St John's Institute charity in 1929 by Charity Commission Scheme las varied by scheme of 20 May 19581. West Sussex County Council IWSCCI has been the sole Corporate Trustee of the charity since that time. In early 2022, WSCC advertised the property as a potential community asset transfer opportunity to seek interest from a suitable organisation that can demonstrate its ablllty to take on responsibility to manage and maintain the Park Centre. We founded the Park Centre Bur8e5s Hill CIO to facilitate the transfer of the asset from the St John's Institute to allow us to manage the centre with objects and powers suitable for the modern era. It has been a difficult and somewhat slow-movlng year. tryin8 to navi8ate processes and procedure out of our control. We have built a strong team of tmstees and are working closely wlth WSCC the sole Trustees of St Johns Institute to enable the asset transfer of Park Centre to our charity. They are providing ways to assisl in movin8 forward with the building works whi15t we wait for the Charities Commission to agree the process and to transfer the asset. l am hopeful that as soon as we have ascertained the scheme of works, we will be able to progress further and gain yet more support from the young people and the wider community which we hope to Serve.
