## **Annual Report 2024/2025** 

Ault Hucknall Parish Community Association continues to meet its core aims of advancing education and providing facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving the condition of life for the local community. 

It does this through leading and developing strong partnerships with key stakeholders such as Ault Hucknall Parish Council, Bolsover District Council, Bolsover CVS and other local charities and organisations. 

Coming to an end in 2025 the Cultural Corridor project is a strong example of how this way of working can support the Charity in meeting it’s aims.  With a mission to engage people in creative and cultural activities across parish boundaries the Cultural Corridor project far exceeded the targets set for it engaging 2563 participants against a target of 300 and creating 85 volunteering opportunities against a target of 24.  The project also saw the creation over 3 new regular group activities that continue into 2025. 

As the lead partners on the project the Cultural Corridor also shows that Community Association is in a good place to manage, co-ordinate and deliver larger scale projects that benefit the community and lead partnerships for the benefit of all. 

The Centre continues to offer a wide variety of activities and support to the local community, including adding support to existing groups such as blood pressure checks for our Craft and Chat group through Live Life Better Derbyshire. We also continue to access grant funding from a number of sources which have enabled us to improve our facilities and equipment including replacing display screens in the meeting rooms and replacing old and damages furniture. 

HAF funding continues to be a key source of funding for the charity and enables us to continue our family holiday activity provision at no cost to the end user, a key part of ensuring we are meeting the needs of young people who may not otherwise access regular meals and physical and enrichment activities over the school holidays. 

We continue to attract volunteers to help with some of our bigger activities, particularly in our holiday and fundraising activities. Activities include several music projects, a youth arts project, Ladies of Letters, Craft Activities and a programme of monthly entertainment evenings bringing quality music, drama, comedy and poetry to the community. 

The Community Association is committed to wider representation in the Bolsover district and is represented on a number of local partnerships and meetings including the BCVS Community Voices Forum, Bolsover Partnership, the Culture and Tourism Partnership and the Healthy Bolsover Partnership. 

As we look to 2025/26 the Community association is in a strong position to continue meeting its charitable objectives and grow its offering to the local community.
