## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From: 14[th] August 2023 To 31[st] December 2024** **Charity name: St. Mary’s Centre Community Hall** **Charity registration number: 1204335** ## **Objectives and Activities** To further or benefit the residents of Clitheroe and the neighbourhood, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by associating together the said residents and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents. In furtherance of these objects but not otherwise, the trustees shall have power: To establish or secure the establishment of a community centre and to maintain or manage or co-operate with any statutory authority in the maintenance and management of such a centre for activities promoted by the charity in furtherance of the above objects. Our main purpose is to provide a Community Hall for the use of all local residents, impartially, in order to improve their ‘condition of life’ – their physical, emotional, educational, creative, spiritual, social and personal wellbeing. As such, we take bookings for a wide variety of activities either as ‘one-offs” such as family celebrations, concerts, school performances and dance shows or regular hires, such as Line Dancing, Jujitsu, Uniformed organisations, Badminton, Tai Chi, Drama Classes etc. We encourage feedback from the local community and our regular user, Clitheroe Parish Church Operatic and Dramatic Society and Dramatic Society's production of "Sister Act" last year was sold out and a huge success, with rave reviews. The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, 'Charities and Public Benefit'. ## **Achievements and Performance** This year we have installed solar panels to lower the carbon footprint of the centre, also to give greater protection and flexibility of power sources. 45 solar panels have been installed on the south facing roof of the centre, and battery storage has been installed to store excess and sell back to the energy companies. We have also increased the number of users accessing our facilities, providing a focal point for local residents to come together for a variety of activities: social, educational, physical, creative and emotional, which continue to meet the particular needs of different generations of families thereby enhancing their wellbeing and the quality of their lives. ## **Financial Review** ## **INCOME AND EXPENDITURE** **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2024** ## **FOR** **ST MARY'S CENTRE** ## **ST.
