ConstIt￿lon, Objectlves and Activfties for the Publlc Benellt
The charity is constituted by Schemes dated 12 January 1965 and 4 November 1976 as amended by a
Scheme dated 4 August 2003. It Yrds registered on 4 November 1976 under the number 522715.
Its objective is to provide an institute and recreational facilities for the benefft of the inhabitants of Rugeley.
particulady (but not exclusively) those are members of the mining community.
The trustees have continued to pay due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit
when reviewing the charivs aims and obJ'ectNes and detemiining those activities to be supported. In
doing so. a wide range of sporting and other activities have tsken place and details of these can be found
later in this report.
Organisational Structure
The trustees who have served the tharity duriro the year are sho￿) on page 1.
The charity is responsible for maintaining the premises and its contents and groun¢Js in a suitable state
of repair for use by those live in the surrounding area. It raises income through various Charitable
activities, the main one being the hiring out of its facilities to the general public, but a substantial amount
of its income comes from ils connected trading company, Lea Hall Social Club Limsted, which pays an
annual occupational li￿nCe fee to the charity in order to run its business from the charity's premisès.
In addition to this. the company also transfers any proffts it makes to the charity under a Gitt Aid
agreement so the trustees woth dosely wth the company's directors to ty and ensure the company
is profitable, thus ensuring extra income for the charity.
Trustee vacancies are advertised and interested parties are asked to apply in vrriting. Interviews will be
heid and suitsble candidates a￿ then notified to their nominating b¢)Jy being either CISWO, Trade Union
or members. The trustee board is made up of equal numbers of each nominating body.
Flnanclal Review
The charityffiad net expenditure for the year of £18.531 in comparison to £16.012 net expenditure in the
previous year. The trustees acknovAedge that much of this deficit is due to high deprecialton
charges but a￿pt that this cannot be helped and so have taken steps to try and prevent this from being
repeated in the coming year. They are doing this by carefvlly monit¢Jring costs and making thanges
where necessary and possible and hope to see an improvemenl soon. However, they know the charity
currently has sufficient reserves to absorb suth a loss and, although a litue disappointed, are satisfied
with the resutts for the year.
