OBJEcfivES AND ACTIVITIES
The Association shall be non-party in politics and non-sectarian in religion and its objects shall be to:
romote the benefit of the inhabitants of the Parish of Wythall and neighbourhood, without distinction, by
associating together the said inhabitants and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in
common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation
and leisure-time occupation with the objert of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants-
establish or secure the establishment of a Community Centre and to maintain and manage the same in
furtherance of these objects,.
romote such other charitable purposes as may from time to time be determined.
The Association's aims are to maintain the site for use by members, constituent organisations and local
inhabitants. This is done by allowing clubs to rent specific areas for their activitie5, by providing facilities for
hire and allowing free access to the park facility for members and residents who respect the pleasure of others.
The Association's main activities are based on a 37 acre site, which include5 Wythall House and Park Hall. This
is a freehold site in Worcestershire entirely within the Green Belt to the south of Birmingham and is dedicated
to recreational purposes in the Bromsgrove District Plan. The title of the site and all property acquired by or
for the purposes of the Association is vested in the five Trustees who comprise Wythall Community Hall Trust.
The outside area5 include gardens, planted woodlands, a children's playground and areas for casual play and
general usage by all well-wishers. Most other areas are a150 for general usage, when not designated to clubs
for organised activities. These include the use of two Association and junior football pitches,. a Gaelic football
pitch, an archery range, tennis courts, a bowling green and a dog training area. One of the four hard tennis
courts and the bowling green are partially available for use by the general membership under the supervision
of the relevant sports clubs. The fenced area used for trainlng dogs off lead is used by the German Shepherd
Dog Club and other dog walkers who are members of the Association.
The buildings include the following-
h811 House and environs which include various lounges and bars, a games room, meeting rooms. offices and
associated facilities. Wythall Community Club IWCCI operates a Registered Members, Club in most of these
area5 and is responsible for its own management during it5 bar opening hours. WCC provides Opportunities for
recreation and social interaction, encouragement of friendship and other activities likely to be beneficial to
members of the Association. The WCC finances are detalled in its separate accounts and are reflected in the
income of the Association by way of rent received, a servSce charge and whenever possible an allocation of
surplus fund5.
Park Hall which comprises o dance hall I functlon suite for daytime or evening use, with stage, kitchen and
licensed bar, catering for about 180 people. It15 normally hlred to local socleties, clubs and individual members

Service buildin
s provided by the Association, in addition to those outlined above include changing rooms and
ablution areas and buildings used for storage of outdoor machinery and equipment.
Volunta hel
and ifts in kind. The General Committee are extremely grateful to all the volunteers who help
and support their activities in order to encourage community ownership. On a regular basis volunteers
undertake tasks including committee work. financial management, planning events, mowing & maintenance
and helping with events. Suppliers, businesse5 and individuals have also been generous in providing donations
of goods that have been used to enhance fund-raising events, improve our park machinery and facilities.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The various sporting activities taking place at the park throughout the year were once again very popular. The
park continues to be well used by the public enjoying what it has to offer, in particular the children's play areas
and the wider park for exercising dogs. This year has seen a focus on ensuring booking enquiries are responded
to in a timely manner and turned into actual bookings as much as possible. This has resulted in a greater use of
the Britannia Room, particularly for parties. Use of Park Hall to a level that makes this space viable continues to
be a challenge. Usage of Wythall House outside of Wythall Community Club's hours is nominal.
With regards to achievements, many volunteer hours have been used seeking grants and donations along with
trying to grow the membership, this has been to good effect. Projects to improve both Park Hall and Wythall
House were undertaken through the year, much of which was funded through those grant monies and
donations and utilising a significant amount of volunteer hours, such as:
Refurbishment of Park Hall toilets
New heating for the Britannia Room
Refurbishment of courtyard area
Outdoor toilet refurbishment
Events and activities in many guises have continued, providing entertainment and pleasure to many including:
The Bonfire & Fireworks event
Celebrations such as the VE Day and VJ Day events
Tribute nights in Park Hall
Fun Run hosted by Wythall Park including the athletes and spectatorfs village
Tidbury Green Scout Group organi5ed an easter trail to much success. supported by WCA
"Kid Zone- Bounce & Ride" on the park in the summer holidays
Santa'5 tour on his sleigh returned for another year around Wythall and Hollywood
Our website, www.wythall-park.org.uk, is administered by a volunteer and kept up to date from information
provided by local organisations.
Our Facebook Group - Wythall P3rk-Life13.9k members), and the WCA & WCC rsewsletter (circulated to 2k
people) are well established promoting events plu5 the Park, the A550cSation in general, WCC, alon8 Wlth the
various clubs.

HALL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
ACHIEVEMENTS ANO PERFORMANCE continued
Children's Play areas. The play area5 are a very popular attraction and in order that they remain safe, regular
inspections are undertaken by the Association and its contractors. The cost of such inspections and ongoing
repairs and renewals is not insignificant though remain an importènt aspect that the Association needs to raise
money to cover. If sufficient monies cannot be raised the Association may need to consider their closure andlor
removal.
Perimeter Path, Fitness Stations and Toilets. The path around the park's perimeter is well used. The fitne55
stations were provided by Bromsgrove District Council which included a maintenance agreement. The
maintenance agreement expires September 2027,. a decision will be made at that time in respect of their futu
due to the cost of maintaining it. The toilets remain c105ed except for WCA events due to the ongoing vandalism.
Unfortunately. the Association cannot afford to keep repairing them.
Park Pitche5. The football pitches continue to flourish, with junior football very popular. Poor drainage.
however, remains a challen8e making the pitches unusable at times. It is also distressing that the pitches
continue to be damaged on a regular basis by individuals riding quad bikes, motor bikes and e-bikes.
Outlook. It is positive to note that the Association's financial performance for 2025 shows a healthy surplus
which has repaid the previous losses and left a modest amount for re-investment into much needed
maintenance and improvements.
Notwithstanding the surplus seen in 2025 there remains a pressure on cashflow. Whilst most income lines are
up on the previous year and the gross profit in general, the level of overheads that need to be covered remains
challenging, the cost of utilities and minimumlliving wages continues to rise. In respect of the latter there is an
ongoing focus on staff hours used. All costs are closely monitored in order to identify opportunities to make
savings, though essential maintenance must continue to take place to ensure the park remains safe, avoid
increased costs and associated issues.
Opportunities to promote the Park and what it has to offer continue to be explored to hopefully boost income
for the Association and the many Clubs. Further ways of generating additional revenue or reducing costs must
however be found to achieve a sustainable future for the Association that a small core of volunteers have been
focussing on recent years.

project, it WOLtld (once concluded) result in the Assoclation belng able to legally hold the title to the land and
being responsible for its own debts.

wYrHALL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
FINANCIAL REVIEW conlinued
As a result of past under Investment in the Infrastructure there Is a large backlog of costly maintenance,
replacements and improvement5 that need to be undertaken. Whilst a lot has been done in 2024 and 2025 to
try and start to address this there remains a lot to be done. The A550ciation continue5 to struggle to generate
the required level of surplus to significantly invest in the buildings and the Park in general. As a result, grants
continue to be applied for to try and address th1%.
Capital raising through selling long leases to the organisations which currently have a substantial headquarters
within the park ha5 been raised in the past with little appetite from the clubs. This does however remèin an
option.
The Association remains focused towards trying to provide the current services along with growing the
membership and encouraging non-members to contribute towards the facilities. The Association and the
constituent groups need to continue to identify and take forward other services that the Park could offer in
order to grow secure revenue stream5.
Whilst the focus is on growing income streams, we are mindful that costs must remain aligned. Appropriate
maintenance of the 51te and buildings is undertaken as far as possible and costs relating to staff are carefully
controlled.

Going Concern
When preparing the financial statements, the members of the General Committee are required to make an
assessment of the Association's ability to continue as a Eoing concern.
An entity is a going concern unless the committee intend to liquidate, cease trading or h35 no realistit alternative
but to do so. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate the committee takes into
account all available information about the future, which is at least but not limited to 12 months from the date
when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
The Association has struggled to match income streams with increasing costs for many years. More recently
there has been some renewed effort to address this and to obtain grants to improve the facilities. Marketing
activities have been strengthened using a range of media to promote membership of the Association and
Wythall Community Club along with many events put on to provide entertainment to the local community. raise
the profile and provide a much-needed income boost.
The General Committee remains acutely aware that further effort is required to strengthen and diversify income
streams in order to protect the long term future.
In view of the above. the Committee consider that the going concern assumption remains appropriate.
