Marshfield Community Centre AGM - 1112125 Chair's report for 2024125financialy8ar As you know, I took over as Chair at the beginning of 2025 and l am pleased to report that the usage of the Community Centre and its financial position has continued to improve over the year. As you will be aware, low levels of usage in 2022123 coming out of the pandemic sparked concerns about the long-term future ofthe Community Centre and whether, in its current form. it satisfied the needs of the village. This resulted in a two-year review being undertaken which involved consultation with the village at large and key stakeholders. The review has now largely concluded. No clear alternative use cases have emerged and there appeared to be general support for the Community Centre to Gontinue in broadly its current form. It was however agreed that consideration should be given to using some ofthe available space to allowfor the expansion of pre-school. Discussions as to how to achieve this are currently ongoing, although preliminary approval has been given to reallocate some of the existing cupboard space off the large hall to allowfor the creation of a baby room and new pre-school off ice. In addition, rent f rom pre-school for their existing premises remains a significant income source for the Community Centre. The existing pre-school lease h8s however expired and negotiations are underway to enter into a new lease which will hopef ully accommodate their expansion and provide a sound footing for our relationship with them for the future. The Community Centre trustees remain committed to workingwith pre-school to help them to continue to deliver their v8lu8ble service to the village. Since the review got underway. usage of the Community Centre has improved and, as you will see from the accounts, inoome exceed expenditure overthe 2024125 financial year. albeit by a small amount. This is due in part to the usage of the halls by our aff iliate members, in particular pre- school. Marshfield Community Friends, the P18yers, Wl, the Friday lunch club and Shor- mat bowls. I would like to thank them all for their continued support. In addition, we had a number of very successf ul fund-raising events during the f inancial year- in particular the Ballwhich was organised bythe PTA and which l am very happy to sayis happeningagainthisyear. Boules day is alsoworth a mention and particular thanks should go to lan Orr who single handedly organised it. It too will be back in the current financial year. Thanks also to the Wl for their quiz night and to everyone who helped to run Marshfield breakfasts.
Another highlight to mention in 2024 was the Player's production which saw significant use of the halls and provided a great opportunity for hundreds of people in the village to come into the Community Centre. So, the position ofthe Community Centre has improved since the reviewwas commenced in 2023. However. we are still some way off being on a secure financial footingforthe medium to long term. Costs are continuingto rise and the demographics ofthe village and its needs are continuing to change. The Community Centre needs to continue to attract new users to ensure its future but, on the up side we have made great progress over the past two years and will hopefully Gontinue to do so. I would like to take this opportunityto thank all ofthe MCCA committee members for theircommitmenttothe Community Centre and theirtireless support in makingsure it stays open on a dayto day basis. I would particularly like to thank Dawn and Amanda who are here more than anyone else and make sure 1000 little things that you probably never think of but are absolutely essential actually happen. I would also like to thank Anne for her role as treasurer and stepping into the role when we really needed someone. And, finally, I would like to thank our booking secretary Clair for ensuring that our users get the best experience we can possibly provide. Karen Mumgaard

As at 31 August 2025, Mr G Snell has returned to the role of a Holding Trustee. Mrs V Hanifin acts as Meetings secretary. Mrs C Lavis acts as Bookings Secretary. Marshfield Community Friends was established as a Section of the Association on 1 June 2024. The other organisations listed above are Affiliated Groups, but are otherwise independent of the Association.
Structure, Governance and Trustees
The Association is an unincorporated charity. The Association’s governing document is its Constitution, dated 27 July 1989.
The main object of the Association is to establish, maintain and manage a Community Centre for the benefit of residents of Marshfield and surrounding areas.
The following are entitled to become Members of the Association who would be entitled to one vote each at General Meetings: adults living in the Association’s area of benefit; Affiliated Groups; Sections; Statutory Authorities in or near to the Association’s area of benefit.
The Holding Trustees are the individuals in whom legal title to the Community Centre property and building is vested. The Charity Trustees are the members of the General Committee (“the Committee”). The Charity Trustees are responsible for managing the Community Centre in order to meet the Association’s objects. They do this by making available for hire four different communal spaces – internal and outdoor areas dedicated to Marshfield Pre-School, a large sports and events hall, a smaller hall and a kitchen.
In their management of the Community Centre the Charity Trustees have regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
Marshfield Community Centre Association Statement of Accounts Year Ended 31 Aug 25 1
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales also requires the Charity Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year.
The Charity Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and ensure that the financial statements comply with Part 8 of the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the charity’s assets and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and breaches of laws and regulations.
Activities during the year
The Charity Trustees are pleased to report that the relatively low usage levels at the start of 2023/24 increased significantly over that year and have continued to increase into 2024/25. During 2024/25, Marshfield Community Friends (MCF) successfully received another grant funded by South Gloucestershire to provide warm spaces and social activities. All the organisations listed above use the Community Centre regularly. Other activities in the Centre include local charity events, elections, vaccination clinics, Pilates, Yoga and Line Dancing. The number of private bookings has continued to increase. We thank Marshfield Community Friends (MCF), all Affiliated organisations, and all other users for their continued support.
As well as the provision of communal spaces, the Community Centre itself ran a successful Christmas ball, another Boules Day in July and Breakfasts in August. Fundraising events, donations and grants account for nearly 80% of the surplus.
Overview of finances
The Charity Trustees are aware that, as the building is over 30 years old, significant repairs will continue to be required in the future. Their long-term policy is that part of the Association’s reserves is designated as being available to improve and maintain the Community Centre, for the benefit of all current and future users, provided that the remaining free reserves amount to at least 60% of expected annual expenditure.
In 2024/25 rental income exceeded expenditure by £1,639.62, down from £3,070.84 in 23/24. After taking into account the reserve of £4,001.58 held for Marshfield Community Friends and the retained free reserve of £17,000.00, the reserve held for improvements and major maintenance projects amounted to £79,042.74. As at 31 August 2025, the free reserves amounted to 61.1% of the previous year’s running costs.
Two-year review
In July 2023 the Charity Trustees commenced a two-year review of the Association’s governance and business, prompted by the difficulties in recruiting and retaining Trustees and financial projections that indicated the Association would experience very significant operational deficits within 2-3 years. Most of the first year of this review involved extensive consultation with residents and community organisations in Marshfield and surrounding areas.
In the second year of the review plans for the Centre’s future have been developed and proposed, and consultation is still taking place particularly in relation to the expansion of Pre-School usage. The Association’s finances have improved to the extent that no operational deficit is projected in 2025/26. However, it should be noted that the Community Centre is reliant on fundraising and that there is a need for hire charges to keep pace with inflation as running costs have increased by 19.3% over the year.
