Chudleigh Community Project

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

Chudleigh Community Project (CCP) is a Registered Charity No 900204. The registered address of the charity is Coombe Moor, Rock Road Chudleigh, Devon TQ13 0JJ. It is run according to its constitution dated 29 April 2010.

CCP is administered by a general committee. Full committee members are also the Charity's Trustees.

At the start of the 2022 financial year the committee had been elected at the previous Annual General Meeting of 20th October 2021; Paul Reynolds as Chair, Rick Ward as Treasurer and Alison Palmer as Secretary. Rosalind McClure was also elected to the committee (resigned in June 2022). Emily England, as Headteacher of the Primary School, remained as an ex-officio committee member.

At the AGM on 14 October 2022 Lynsey Rowe was elected Chair, Rick Ward as Treasurer, and Caroline Lewis as Secretary. Paul Reynolds, Alison Palmer, Nick Hunt, Mandy Griffiths and Brendon Houghton were elected as general members. Emily England, remained as an ex-officio committee member.

During 2022 the CCP committee met on 10 occasions.

CCP has continued with its objectives to provide community facilities within the parish of Chudleigh by managing the dual use school /community hall out of school hours and running the outdoor community swimming pool.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The Chudleigh Community Project's objectives are to provide community facilities within the parish of Chudleigh through managing the dual use of the community/school hall out of school hours and managing the outdoor community swimming pool. The Chudleigh Community Project also promotes the Devon based 'Villages in Action' arts and drama events throughout the year.

Public benefit

The Trustees are mindful of the Charity Com-mission's guidance on Public Benefit which recommends that all the facilities provided by the CCP should be open to all in the community.

Volunteers

The facilities provided by Chudleigh Community Project are dependent on many people, paid and unpaid, involved in both the operation and fundraising aspects of the charity's work. The continued effective operation of CCP's running of the Community Hall and swimming pool is dependent on a supply of these community minded people who are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities Community Hall

Julie Tock continued in the voluntary role as Hall Co-Ordinator.

The hall was continued to be well used with regular weekly bookings including badminton (four sessions per week), short tennis and taekwondo-do (four sessions per week). Chudleigh Baptists also used the hall for weekly worship. FISH ran activities for children during the school holidays and continued 'wrap around' child care before school hours (after school was held elsewhere).

Pool

The swimming pool opened for the 2022 season on Friday 6 May and closed on Monday 5th September.

Pool maintenance was managed by volunteer Chris Evans. Committee Secretary, Alison Palmer, managed the booking system, timetable and lifeguard shifts.

Due to a national shortage of lifeguards, an NPLQ course was run early in the season but some sessions still had to be cancelled.

The changing rooms and kiosk were open (after being closed for the previous two seasons due to Covid). Donna Cook (volunteer) managed the kiosk volunteer rota. Card payments were taken for the first time.

A variety of public sessions were available to book online.

Splash Swimming ran adult and children lessons, Rookie Lifeguards, and AquaFit on our behalf.

The school used the pool during the second half of the summer term. FISH and Daisy Chain children’s holiday clubs hired the pool during the summer holidays and there were a good number of private hires.

Fundraising activities

Chris and Lynn Evans promoted their last music and theatre event for CCP, the Angel Heart Theatre show Tales of Robin Hood in March.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The accounts for 2022 are appended to this report. The accounts comply with statutory requirements and with the recommendations of the statement of recommended practice (SORP). Pool income was £19,855, a decrease from £30,823 on last year. The pool's total costs were £19,217, broken down as follows:

Total income for the hall was £17,779 against costs of £9728, thus showing a surplus. Costs are broken down as follows:

Hall Expenses £6,021 Hall Wages £3,707

Overall the outcome for 2022 is that there was a surplus of £10,776 o the general fund and a deficit on the restricted fund due to the money raised for the hoist being spent to purchase it. The net effect is that there was an overall surplus of £7,183 for the year.

We are grateful for continued grants and donations totaling £15,721

Reserves policy

Cash assets totaled £49,260 (£43,360 unrestricted, £5,900 restricted) at the year's end. This compares with £42,077 (£32,584 unrestricted, £9,493) in 2021. It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level sufficient to provide an adequate working capital facility for the pool and the hall for a period of three months. These funds are sufficient to cover the management, administration and support costs and to respond to minor emergency expenditure. Cash assets are reviewed regularly to forecast any shortfall and instigate any fundraising / grant requirements.

CONCLUSION

The facilities provided by Chudleigh Community Project are dependent on many people, paid and unpaid and involves both the operation and fundraising aspects of the Charity's work. The continued effective operation of the CCP's running of the Community Hall and swimming pool is dependent on a supply of these community minded people who are becoming increasingly difficult to find. The Trustees are mindful of the Charity Commission's guidance on Public benefit which recommends that all the facilities provided by the CCP should be open to all.

The trustees continue to actively raise awareness in the community regarding the work of CCP and research alternative funding resources and ways in which running costs can be effectively reduced.

The original buiding cost of the swimming pool was £150,000, per the lease the amount that would be repaid to the project is reduced by 1/50th for each year of the term completed from February 2000 and the cost is therefore being written down over 50 years

Dual use of hall with school.
