Charity registered no. 522760 Pelsall Community Association Accounts For the year ended th 30 June 2022 Paul Anthony Wilcox Accountants Limited Chair’s Annual Report and financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022. ## **Objectives and activities** The association’s objects are the provision of activities for the local and wider community to participate in social and recreational activities. We pride ourselves on being a place where people of all ages in the community can attend classes and events, or even host their own celebrations. From karate to art, dancing to knitting and singing to keep fit, we have something for everyone. Alongside this we regularly host live events and shows as well as community meet ups for all ages. The following strategies enable the Association to achieve its objectives, as follows: - Responding to the needs of the local community by regularly advertising the provision available. Service users are invited to give feedback, suggest improvements or propose new activities. - Increased self sufficiency through an effective affordable charging policy for self funded activities. - Seek external funding opportunities to enhance existing provision. Regular liaison with Walsall Council’s Community Development Team ensures that funding opportunities are identified and acted upon. The Trustees pay due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Association should undertake. ## **Volunteers** The Association has a growing number of volunteers who support community activities run by the Association. Volunteers’ roles have included help with meet and greet, stewarding at shows, preparing and serving refreshments, delivering programme leaflets, gardening and providing support with repairs and removal of aged equipment. The Trustees are all volunteers drawn from the local community and the support received by all our volunteers is priceless and we are so grateful for their involvement. ## **Achievements and performance** In 1946 the Pelsall Community Association was formed and the Pelsall Community Centre was officially opened on 4[th] September 1965 by Sir Alfred Owen, CBE. The original grounds for the centre were part of the Oaklands House Estate on Station Road, previously owned by the Binns Family as well as Thomas Starkey. In 1974 the building was extended when the Oaklands Lounge & Bar were added. The Association continues to develop a choice of well attended classes for adults, that cater for local people seeking recreational leisure opportunities and learning. Activities focusing on health and well-being, and reducing isolation are really important. ## **Principal Funding Sources** Following the Covid 19 outbreak, the Association is now in a position to move forward with its provision for the local community and saw an increase in weekly lettings for its core groups (including classes for babies, their mums, the Friendship Café to mention but a few), grants and funding by Walsall Council, Box Office receipts for the fabulous live shows, the Inspire Foundation for its provision of childcare for parents during the school holidays, craft fayres which have proved a great success and are well attended by both stall holders and community members. The Association continues to work closely with other organisations providing external funding support and actively aims to seek new partnerships, in line with the needs of the local community. Whilst funding continues to be a concern, especially after the pandemic, the Trustees are committed to providing activities and services at a reasonable cost to customers and realise new strategies must be adopted to address any shortfall in the budget. The Association used the period in lockdown to undertake planned maintenance including repairs, decoration and clearing out clutter. Installing a new outside garden area and upgrading the staging, lights and music equipment have put the Centre in a good place for the future. The Trustees look forward to the next twelve months and where the future will take us. The Trustees’ report was approved by the Board of Trustees.
