The object of the Charity is to establish, m8intain and a Community c￿tre rnie Belvedere Commwty
Association) to provide facilities in the inter¢sts of social welfare for recreation and leisure time oCCUP￿10n with
the object of improvin8 conditions of lif¢ for the said inhabitants of the Central West areas of Norwich.
The total incoming resources for the year were £32.163. cornpared to £34,166 in 2024. The fall in incoming
resources this year is mainly du¢ to a transfer in 2024 of £5,400 from the Belvedere Social Club followin8 th¢
closure of its bank a￿UnL
The income from hiring the centre to local ￿n￿nunity gr￿p$ and Privat¢ hire has increased to £14.789 (2024:
£13,952) as th¢ Management Committee have been able to maintain the l¢v¢l of regular user groups. These groups
and the café remain the main sources of income for the centrc.
The total expenditure was £28295, which subthitially lower than in 2024: £39.655, which is mainly due to a
substantial refund in VAT that was incorrectly charged on our electricity supplies of £8,383. There was also a
substantial cost of repairs in 2024 as although the Management Committee onty carry out essential repair& the
centre is at an aBe when it does now require a lot of investm¢nL IMt there we not the fi￿dS to C8fry tbis out and to
brin8 it back to the stand8xd that the Management Committee would like.
The total unrestricted fi￿d$ carried forward are £l2.102 {2024 - £8.234). whith is as noted above thie to the refund
of VAT incorrectly charged in previous yeats which we were after a substantial amount of CorTw>0nd￿ly and
hard work able to obtai
Although or financial situation is much better this year. we are still effectively nu￿l￿g at a deficit so unless the
centre can g¢nmte more income from the hire of the ¢Mtre and obtain grant funding for core com then it nms the
risk of havin8 to close due to a lack of reserve& The Manag¢ment Committee Continue to seek grant funding but in
the current economic climat¢ this is proving very difficulL
