PATCHAM COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION Registered Charity No. 275529 ANNUAL TRUSTEES REOPRT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 3151 MARCH 2024 The Patcham Community Associats'on is a registered charity based at Patcham Community Centre, Ladies Mile Road, Brighton BNI 8TA. It is currently administered by a Management Committee comprising of Sally Booth (chair), Peter Langston (Treasurer), Linda McRae (Secretary). Alison Herga, Tim Dennis, Sandy Coleman, Crystal Weston, Jill Goldsmith, Keith Carter, Hugh Woodhouse, Rob Brand and Paul Myszor all elected at the 2023 AGM. The primary function of the Association is the running of Patcham Community Centre. The Community Centre consists of a large ground floor area dividable into 2 rooms by an acoustic screen and a similar sized 1st floor dividable into 3 rooms by 2 acoustic screens. Each floor has a kitchen and toilets with a lift to the I floor. There is a disabled toilet on the ground floor. There are also 5 large storerooms. 5t The Association manages day to day running of the Centre, organises activities and hires out rooms to affiliated societies, local organisations and individual hirers for parties, classes etc. Our website atchamcomunlt .co.uk gives further details. The Centre is well used with activities such as table tennis, film night, and the Patcham Bridge Club all attracting high numbers. The number of activities and hirers have increased over the year as people have become more aware of what's on at the Centre. The Committee administers the Patcham Community Fund which awards grants of up to £1,000 to local clubs, societies, schools etc. to further their activities. During 2022/2023 grants totalling £4,060 were awarded. During the year our expenditure exceeded our income by £4,578. This was mainly due to a large increase in the amount of rent paid to Brighton & Hove City Council. Our cash position remains strong. The trustees aim to maintain reserves of at least one year's expenditure.
