Catton Grove Community Centre Management Committee Annual Report for the year 2024 - 2025
Catton Grove Community Centre opened in its current location in 1988 to meet the educational, social and welfare needs of the local community. The Centre is owned by Norwich City Council and is managed on licence by a voluntary Management Committee. In March 2024, Management Committee members received permission from the Charity Commission to incorporate and they now operate as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation ( CIO ) with a new registered charity number, prior to this the Committee operated for over 30 years as an Unincorporated Association.
The Community Centre supports a range of community groups including a friendship club for older people, health and well-being groups, an arts and crafts group, a sewing group, bingo sessions, digital drop-in sessions, two community choirs, monthly community lunches and activities for children and young people.

Chair’s Report
Welcome to the Annual General Meeting of Catton Grove Community Centre Management Committee. This is my first report as Chair of the Management Committee, although I have been a member of the Committee for many years.
I am pleased to report that we have had another successful year, with a wide range of activities, services and community events running throughout the year.
At the end of January 2025, Catton Grove Big Local reached the end of its 10 year National Lottery funded programme to help make Catton Grove an even better place to live, work and volunteer. We worked closely with Big Local from day one and benefitted from their funding in many ways, in particular the investments made by Big Local to improve facilities at the Centre which have helped to make the Centre a better equipped and more welcoming community space. Many of Big Local’s activities were based at the Community Centre and I’m pleased to say that we have been able to keep all of these activities going post Big Local, either as self-funded community groups or by applying for alternative sources of funding.
As Big Local was drawing to a close, we started to think about how the Centre operates and what support we would need in future. Committee members decided that to keep the Centre running at its current level we needed to engage a part-time worker to oversee the day-to-day running of the Centre. To do this required additional funding as we could not support this with our current income levels. I’m pleased to report that we have received a grant from Norwich Freemen’s Charity to engage a part-time Centre Manager. Linda Blakeway started working for us in April 2025 and will be employed initially for a period of 12 months, hopefully within this time we will find further funding to keep her in post more permanently! Linda is no stranger to the Centre, she has supported us for many years as a freelance bookkeeper and more recently, she has been based at the Centre while she worked for Catton Grove Big Local as their Community Development Worker.
In February 2025, local resident Ben Jones also joined the staff team as part-time caretaker. Ben is employed for 14 hours per month and opens up for groups such as New Horizons Community Choir, Brownies and Junior Club. Ben also sets up the tables for Friday Night Bingo, which we are very grateful for! Ben has settled in well and is a great addition to the Centre.
Community events and celebrations continue to be a popular part of the Community Centre calendar. Over the last year, we had a Christmas Fair in December 2024 and an Easter Fair in April 2025, both events were well attended with over 200 people coming through the doors for each event. Moving forward, at the end of September we are holding a Macmillan Coffee Morning to support people living with cancer and at the end of October we are having a Halloween Fun Day for local children and families, followed by another Christmas Fair at the beginning of December!
I would like to end my report by thanking everyone else who supports the Community Centre, either as a volunteer, a paid worker or by providing funding for our activities. Your support is very much appreciated and helps to make the Community Centre a vibrant, welcoming community space for everyone to enjoy.
Malcolm Baldry Chair, Catton Grove Community Centre Management Committee
User Group Reports
Health and Well-Being Activities
The Community Centre offers a range of affordable, accessible activities to help improve community health and well-being. On Mondays, we have a Gentle Exercise session in the morning followed by a more energetic Zumba session in the evening. On Wednesdays, we have a weekly yoga session and we finish each week with Friday Fitness, a personal training / fitness group for older people.
For each activity, we engage freelance instructors / facilitators to lead the sessions. Where possible, we have engaged qualified local residents to help keep funding within the local economy.
Previously our fitness activities have been supported by funding from Catton Grove Big Local, now that this funding has come to an end, each group aims to be selffunding with members paying a voluntary contribution of £3.00 per session which helps to cover facilitation and venue costs.
‘Coming to Friday Fitness has changed my life, I’m exercising for the first time, I’m more active, I feel fitter and might even be losing some weight!’
‘I love coming to Zumba, I thought the class would be intimidating but it really wasn’t. I felt welcome and comfortable doing the class at my own pace. Plus it’s local and very affordable, both of which are a great help to me’
‘The classes are a good social opportunity as well as a chance to exercise. The tutors are never pushy, they treat us with respect and listen to our needs. We can shape what we do and change the routines when we want to. The classes are fun!’
We also have a weekly arts and crafts group that meets on Thursday mornings. Over the past year local residents have participated in a range of activities including card making, diamond art, macrame, weaving and crochet. The sessions are supported by two local community artists. Members work at their own pace and no previous experience is required to join the group. Over the past year, the group has become a lot busier with an average attendance of 14 members per week.
To help cover delivery and material costs, our arts and crafts sessions are supported by a grant from Norfolk Community Foundation Love Norfolk Fund. This funding expires at the end of November 2025 so we are now looking for further funding to support the delivery of this popular activity.
‘The group is very friendly with a lovely atmosphere. I have made lots of friends and have enjoyed learning new skills. I look forward to coming every week, it’s good for my health and lifts my spirits. Doing crafts helps keep my hands active which is good for my arthritis’
‘I come to the group with my husband who has dementia. We both enjoy coming to the group and socialising with others. I enjoy the challenge of learning new crafts and he enjoys spending time with other people’
‘This class have given me the confidence to try something new. I have learned so much since attending this class but more importantly I have made many new friends, it’s such a nice class to come to!’
Social Activities
In addition to our programme of health and well-being activities, the Community Centre supports a wide range of social activities to bring local residents together. We provide a place for people to meet, make new friends and feel part of the community. Activities on offer include monthly community lunches, prize hoy! sessions, stitch and chat sewing group, a friendship club for over 50’s, a shuffleboard club, a local history group and weekly Friday night bingo sessions.
Our social activities support a wide range of local residents including older people, people who live alone, people with disabilities, people living on low incomes and people who are experiencing social isolation.
Stitch and Chat sewing and handicrafts group meets at the Centre on Mondays from 11.00am – 1.00pm. We come together to sew, knit, quilt and crochet whilst enjoying a cup of coffee and a catch up with friends. We all help each other and learn new skills together. Over the past few months we have welcomed a number of new members, although there is still room for more people to come along, we would love to see you!
Catton Grove Friendship Club is one of the longest running groups that meets at the Community Centre. The Club, for people aged over 50, meets on Wednesday afternoons from 2.00 – 4.00pm, for tea, cakes, a catch up with friends and a few games of bingo. We also organise regular meals out for Club members. In November 2024, thanks to a Community Chest grant from Catton Grove Big Local, members had a week away together at Pontins Pakefield.
‘At Stitch and Chat we all do different things but we still take an interest in what everyone else is doing and help each other when we can. One of our newer members is teaching us all to crochet, which is something I’ve always wanted to do!’
‘Friendship Club is a great way to meet new people. I enjoy coming out for a game of bingo and a chat. If I didn’t do this I would just be sitting at home, Friendship Club gets me out of the house and meeting other people’
‘We had a wonderful holiday, one of the best I have been on, the food was very good and the entertainment each night was spot on’
Our monthly Community Lunches continue to be popular, with a team of 10 volunteers regularly serving over 50 people per session. Each month a three course, home-cooked lunch is served for only £6.00 per head or £4.00 for two courses for people with smaller appetites! Our Community Lunches have a 5 star food safety rating from Norwich City Council. In November 2024, our annual food safety inspection saw us retain our 5 star rating for the fourth year running.
‘I love coming to the Community Lunches. The food is well prepared and always very tasty. The menu is varied and ambitious. The volunteer helpers are very welcoming and polite. Thank you for all that you do!’
‘The Community Lunches are always tasty and great value. There is always such a lovely, friendly atmosphere, it’s great to see everyone enjoying themselves!’
‘I think the volunteer kitchen and serving staff are the greatest. I feel very fortunate to be able to come to these delicious lunches that are such good value’
- Catton Grove Community Hot Spot
As the cost of living crisis continues, we have developed new ways of supporting local residents through difficult times. Thanks to funding from Norfolk Community Foundation Surviving Winter Fund, last winter we opened a Community Hot-Spot for two days a week, Mondays and Thursdays from 10.30am – 2.30pm. At the Community Hot-Spot local residents had access to free, unlimited hot drinks and biscuits plus free wi-fi, TV, DVD’s books, board games, puzzle books and plenty of time for a catch up with friends, old and new. Free toasted sandwiches and soup were also served at each session, prepared by Centre volunteers.
Our Community Hot-Spot was very successful. Across a period of four months from 2[nd] December 2024 – 27[th] March 2025, 35 individual local residents visited the HotSpot over 30 sessions with an average attendance of 12 residents per session.
At the end of March we asked all Hot-Spot visitors to give their main reasons for visiting our Community Hot-Spot, the results were as follows…
To enjoy free hot-drinks and light refreshments 86% To meet and spend time with other local residents 77% To spend time somewhere warm 72% To use the free facilities on offer 32%
Over 75% of Hot-Spot visitors had a registered disability and / or some form of physical / mental ill health with the most common conditions being mild to moderate dementia, arthritis, depression, anxiety, diabetes and cancer. 72% of our Hot-Spot visitors were aged 60+, our youngest visitor was aged 9 months old. 60% of our Hot-Spot visitors lived alone.
We are keen for this work to continue and we have applied for funding to run our Community Hot-Spot again this coming winter. If our application is successful, we will re-open our Hot-Spot on Monday 1[st] December and it will run for two days a week to end of March 2026.
Activities for Children and Young People
The Community Centre supports local residents of all ages. For children and young people we offer the following activities…
MAP ( Mancroft Advice Project ) Youth Club meets at the Centre on Wednesdays from 5.00 – 6.30pm. At the club, young people aged from 11-16 years old enjoy a range activities such as pool, football and table tennis, along with free wi-fi, free teatime snacks and an opportunity to chat with trained youth workers.
Catton Grove Junior Club meets at the Centre on Thursday evenings from 5.30 – 7.00pm. At the Junior Club children aged from 5 – 11 years old participate in a range of activities including arts and crafts, cooking, music, board games, team games, themed activities and a party at the end of each term, all supported by a team of trained children’s workers from YMCA Norfolk.
In June 2025, we also welcomed 2[nd] Helleson Brownies to the Centre. The group meets on Tuesday evenings from 6.00 – 7.15pm and are settling in well.
We are also working with a local charity, Lapwing Education, to provide an alternative classroom space for children and young people who are currently out of mainstream education. Lapwing Education use Room 2 on Fridays from 9.30am – 2.00pm.
‘Youth Club is great, I meet with my friends and there’s always someone to talk to if I need some advice or help’
‘I love coming to Junior Club, I play games with my friends and do some painting and crafts with Keeley and Ruth’
‘I like the tuck shop and when we play games outside. I feel sad when its not on and happy when it is!’
‘It means a lot to MAP’s staff and young people that we can use the Community Centre for our Youth Club. The building is well-maintained and there’s a really good staff team who make us all feel welcome. Some of the equipment such as pool and table tennis tables are a bit tired now and could do with replacing but overall, we are really grateful for the chance to use the Centre’
Other Community Uses
The Community Centre also supports a range of other community uses. Here are some examples of other activities we offer…
One Voice Glee Club Community Choir meets at the Community Centre on Wednesday evenings. New Horizons Community Choir also use the Centre for their sessions which are held on Tuesday mornings, this choir aims to support older people who may be feeling lonely or socially isolated.
On Wednesday mornings we have digital drop-in sessions to help local residents access the Internet and make the most of their digital devices.
Our small team of friendly, knowledgeable volunteers have supported local residents to do a number of online tasks including renewing vehicle tax, voter ID applications, claiming a pension, moving utility suppliers, booking hospital appointments and applying for a concessionary bus pass.
Volunteers have also helped to resolve a range of IT issues including de-bugging crashed laptops, resetting forgotten passwords, deleting rogue programmes, reinstalling lost software and setting up cloud storage.
Our drop-in sessions are supported by funding from CityFibre Community Fund.
‘I can’t tell you how much of a life-saver your digital help has been to me when my computer was highjacked by some malicious software and started sending out lots of unpleasant e-mails to all of my friends. I would like to thank you for your patience and the friendly way that you support everyone who brings their online problems to you!’
‘The help I received was excellent, I have now moved all of my holiday photos from my phone onto a computer, it was easy when someone shows you how to do it!’
Our local MP Alice Macdonald also uses the Community Centre on a regular basis, Alice said…
‘As the MP for Norwich North I have used the Community Centre for public meetings, coffee mornings and surgeries – the space is bright and welcoming and the staff have been so helpful to me and my team. This Centre is a great community asset and I look forward to continued use of the facilities in the years to come’
The Community Centre is also used by Norwich City Council as a designated Polling Station.
Community Events and Celebrations
In addition to our extensive programme of regular activities, in the past year we have also delivered a number of successful community events and celebrations including our Christmas Fair in December 2024 and our Easter Fayre in April 2025. Both events were very well attended and were well received by local residents.
‘I just want to say how much my children enjoyed coming to your Christmas Fair today, they loved doing the crafts and the balloon modeller was so clever. The highlight for them was their visit to Santa, this is the first time we have done this as a family and I’m so grateful for it being free of charge, the presents they received from Santa were way better than we had expected – thank you!’
‘Well done for yet another fantastic event. You all work so incredibly hard for the community, I really enjoying coming to all of your events and look forward to the next one!’
We have more community events coming up in the next few months. At the end of September we have a Macmillan Coffee Morning, followed by a Halloween Fun Day at the end of October and, of course, we have another Christmas Fair at the beginning of December, this event has been sponsored by Places for People Community Fund.
Volunteers
The Community Centre is supported by over 20 local volunteers who offer their time and skills free of charge to help keep activities at the Centre running. Without our volunteers very little would happen at the Centre and we are very grateful for all that they do.
‘Being a volunteer is fun, everyone is really friendly and good company, I enjoy my time at the Centre and its very good for my well-being’
‘When I volunteer, I feel useful. At times we have to work very hard, but I can see that what I’m doing is much needed and I always feel appreciated’
‘As a volunteer I have had the opportunity to attend a number of training sessions. I feel proud of certificates I have gained including Food Safety in Catering and Emergency First Aid. I have also learned how to use the Centre’s defibrillator, although I hope that I don’t ever have to do this for real!’
Finance and Funding Report
Catton Grove Community Centre Management Committee is registered with the Charity Commission and complies with the requirements of the Charity Commission in terms of an annual independent inspection of the organisation’s accounts and submitting our accounts as part of the Charity Commission’s Annual Return.
With reference to our accounts, the Management Committee operates a system of general / unrestricted funds to cover the running costs of the Community Centre and restricted / ring-fenced funds to cover the costs associated with particular activities or projects, particularly those activities that are supported by an external grant or charitable donation.
In terms of the general fund, we receive income in the form of room hire charges, which we apply to all of our user groups, along with one-off hire fees for local elections, community meetings etc. From this rental income the Management Committee is responsible for all of the running costs of the Centre which includes heating, lighting, water rates, cleaning, caretaking, insurance, CCTV, trade waste, telephone, broadband, general maintenance etc.
In summary, the accounts for the year 1[st] April 2024 – 31[st] March 2025 show that, in our general fund, we had income of £24,089 and expenditure of £23,189; this leaves us with a surplus for the year of £900.
Moving from an Unincorporated Association to a CIO
As we have mentioned earlier in this report, in March 2024, the Charity Commission gave the Centre’s Trustees permission to move from being an Unincorporated Association to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation ( CIO ). As part of the incorporation process, the Trustees were required to move all remaining financial assets for the ‘old’ charity into a new bank account set up in our new charity name. This transfer of assets took place in April 2024. As part of the transfer process, we decided to end our relationship with Barclays PLC and open a new account with Unity Trust Bank, this change has given us access to better interest rates, which has seen us benefit from £1,116 bank interest in the last financial year, compared to £463 for the previous financial year.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees have developed a reserves policy to meet regulations required of us as a Registered Charity. At the end of financial year 2024 – 2025, in general / unrestricted funds we have a total of £37,468.25.
In line with previous years, the Trustees continue to set aside in the general fund a general contingency fund which would cover 12 months basic running costs. For the financial year 2025 – 2026, we recommend that this is set at £20,000.
The remaining 'free' reserves, currently £17,468, can be used to support existing community groups and activities, develop new community groups and activities, purchase or replace equipment, make improvements to the building, promote activities, pay for professional services and / or staff costs and support volunteer
recruitment and training. We must ensure that our funds are used in line with our charitable objects and that we are not allowing money to accumulate without making use of it to further the objectives of the Centre.
Grants and Donations
In the last financial year we have received a number of grants and donations. Here is a summary of the financial support we have received, for which we are very thankful…
£25,206 from Norwich Freemen’s Charity to engage a part-time Centre Manager, this funding will support employment costs for period of 12 months from April 2025 – March 2026 and will be drawn down at the beginning of April 2025. Catton Grove Big Local have also offered a further contribution of £3,000 to support this new post.
£11,342 from Catton Grove Big Local for delivery of health and well-being activities
£7,000 from DWP / Norfolk Household Support Fund to support Centre users who are struggling with increased costs of living
£5,000 from Norwich City Council / Pledge Norwich for new furniture, equipment, fixtures and fittings for Meeting Room 2
£2,795 from Norfolk Community Foundation / Love Norfolk Fund to support facilitation and materials costs for our arts and crafts group for a period of 12 months from December 2025 – November 2026
£1,949 from Norfolk Community Foundation / Surviving Winter Fund to deliver a twice-weekly Community Hot-Spot for the period from December 2024 – March 2025
£1,941 from Norwich City Council / UKSPF Community Buildings Improvement Small Grants Fund to replace our very old and temperamental intruder alarm system
£1000 from Catton Grove Big Local for our Community Centre Christmas Fair 2024
£1000 from Catton Grove Big Local to enable members of Catton Grove Friendship Club to have a week away at a local holiday camp
£50 from County Councillor Steve Morphew as a contribution towards costs for our Community Christmas Lunch in December 2024
I would like to end my report by thanking Tatiana Blana of Triple Bottom Line Accounting Ltd for providing us with the independent inspection report enclosed with this Annual Report. Tatiana has made the following comments with regards to our accounts…
‘Your accounts show strong financial management and a healthy financial position. This approach aligns well with Charity Commission recommendations for small charities. Restricted funds are currently well presented and clearly separated which is good practice and meets reporting requirements. Your accounts are very detailed, especially in the income section, I would recommend grouping similar small income streams together, this will help key information to stand out and improve readability’

| The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: • Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act, • To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and • To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. |

Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
-
have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
-
As part of my examination, I have reviewed the accounts in the context of the charity’s recent incorporation as a CIO. The final balances reflect the transfer of funds in accordance with this structural change.
