Charltable actlvltles
2024 has been a year of significant change for the R&DCA committee with Paul Barnes, Vice ChairlHonorary
Secretary and manager of the community cenlre. resigning his role after over 35 years. Paul played a key role in the
building of the Current centre and ensured ils continued success despite challenges such as the recent Covid
P8ndemic. Debbie Cypher, another Iruslee representing the playgroup, also resigned this year. Al the AGM, Adrian
Wrighting was confirmed as Chair and two new Iruslees - Emma Collins and Lyndsay Rodenhursl, who had beèn
volunteers for th& committee over the previous 12 months- were also confirmed. Lyridsay Rodenhursl has replaced
Paul as Secretary, and the committee appointed 2 paid caretaker lo fulfil Paul's day-lo-day centre management role.
Despite these changes, the centre has continued to operate smoothly. allowing us lo meet our eharily objeelives ol
providing A facility for the benefit of the local community.
Bookings for hire of th6 two halls remain consislenlly high, providing a suslaineol income stream for the centra.
Many hobby and special interest groups have regular bookings and these are listed on the community centre
website algng with conlacl details for local r6sidenls lo see. The centre continues lo serve a range of different
demographics in thè community with a daily Playgroup and Brownies and Rainbows groups foT younger
generations. and an over 6Q>s meet up and day club for those with care needs for the older generation. The end ol
year accoun15 show a good heaSlhy 5urplu8. d&spile an increase in running costs due 19 inflation.
The centre is now 25 y&ars old and due to the expected wear-and-tear over this lime, the maintenance
requirements are increasing. This year, several of thg fence panels were damaged during high winds and had lo be
replaced. 11 has also been agreed that the floor of the hall requires refinishing which w8 will look lo do in 2025.
Whilst there are some reserves on which the committee can draw, we w¢ll also look for allernalive sources ol
funding lo help with these costs, such as local governmenl grants.

Achievement5 and porform8n¢e - contlnue
A new housing development on land opposite the centre has received planning permission, and there may be other
polènlial developmenlg on the land surrounding the centre which will follow. These developmenls and expansion of
the local community wlll present risks and opportunities lo the centre and we have started lo engage with the local
councilltsr and pl8nnlng office on these.
Events delivered by the committee this year included the table lop sale in June and the annu81 horlicuSlural show &
fete at the end of August. The latter continues lo be well-allended and popular with local residents and this year
raised over £600 for the cenlre. Other events have allracled very low numbers so a tteclsion was taken by the
committee to pause future events - with the &xceplion of the horticultural show - until we are able lo find more
volunteers 10 5UPPOrt community engagement activities_
Flnancial review
Financial position
2024 h8s seen a strong rlemand for the hall fiom both regular users and private hire, mainly for children's parties al
the weekends.
Overall, our financial slalemenls are rèporting income this year of £40.973.97 against expenditure of £60,168.51
re5ulling in nel loss of £19,194.54. However, there have been a number of one-off costs for large planned
expenditure on items like the sola¥ panèls which are reflected in our 2024 financial year accounts.
Invostment policy and objectlves
Due ID raising of interest rates. the Iruslees considèr that bank deposits will, in the short to medium term, provide a
risk free salislaclory return for the charily.
Rgserves pollcy
The Trustees aim to maintain reserves in unreslricled funds al a level that equates lo a minimum ol six months ol
unreslricled charitable expenditure. The Trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds lo cover fixed
and governance costs. The remaining rtrserves have been sel aside for future sliuclural and development work al
Ihe cenlre. Al the end of the year, our unreslricled reserves were al a level appropriate lo provide this cover and
contribute towards our fuliiTe development plans.
Futuro plans
Tho trustees will be monitoring hall hire charges lo ensure income and 8xpèndilure remain al appropriate levels.
