The trustees are all voluntary and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits. ## **Section C Objectives and activities** **TAR** March **2012** 1 The object of the charity is to provide and maintain a village hall for the use of the inhabitants of the Parish of Wiveliscombe and adjoining **Summary of the objects of the** Parishes without distinction of political, religious or other opinions, **charity set out in its** including use for meetings, lectures, classes and for other forms of **governing document** recreation and leisure-time occupation, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the inhabitants. The Community Centre and adjoining land is used for a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aim to deliver public benefit. There are numerous groups and organisations which use the facilities on a regular weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis. There are many other groups and individuals who use the facilities irregularly. We aim to keep **Summary of the main** hire costs low, with different rates for commercial hirers, to encourage **activities undertaken for the** use by the whole community. **public benefit in relation to these objects (include within** Many local groups and organisations use the facilities, including Town **this section the statutory** Council, WI, Historical and Civic Society, Horticultural Society, Craft, Art, **declaration that trustees have** Ukulele and Singing Workshops. **had regard to the guidance** Many activities give support and friendship which helps to combat **issued by the Charity** loneliness and isolation and improve mental health. **Commission on public** There is a weekly Day Care session, which as well as a hot meal and **benefit)** physical activities provides companionship for many elderly and/or disabled people. A good start in life is given through the Baby and Toddler group attended by many low-income families and some single parents. Our facilities are used by Children’s Services, a vaccination centre for the NHS and fortnightly Health Visitor sessions. A weekly local farmers market is run on our car park. Section D Achievements and performance Bookings for the use of the Community Centre have consolidated and **Summary of the main** been built up with some new regular users. The kitchen has been **achievements of the charity** refurbished with the help of grants, although accessing new grants has **during the year** been more difficult post pandemic. We have increased our fundraising with raffles and indoor sales providing a steady additional income as well as an opportunity for social interaction in the community. The two Electric Vehicle Charging points are well used providing a muchneeded local facility. Following the Trustees review of the work required to run the Centre and a subsequent appeal for more volunteers we now have a bit more help to keep the centre running smoothly. The appointment of a volunteer to coordinate the other volunteers has resulted in a more efficient use of the limited support. We do still need new trustees and volunteers to move forward. Our hopes for the future continue to reflect our long-standing constitutional aim of providing space for **all** in the local community to meet for a wide variety of activities whilst keeping hire charges to a minimum. The provision of such a facility is of huge importance in supporting the educational, social and emotional needs of Wiveliscombe and surrounding areas. **TAR** March **2012** 2 ## **Section E Financial review** We maintained a reserve of £7 thousand **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves Details of any funds materially** None **in deficit** ## **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s)** FJ H Croft Desmond Francis Hawkins **Full name(s)** Francesca Jane Hurst Croft **Position (eg Secretary, Chair,** Chair Secretary **etc) Date** 12.10.2024 **TAR** March **2012** 3 |**Charity Name**|**No (if any)**||| |---|---|---|---| |**Wiveliscombe Community Centre**|**266052**||| |**Receipts andpayments accounts**|||**CC16a**| |**For the period**
