Legal Status : Unincorporated Association
Constitution:
Bridgemary, Rowner & Woodcot Community Association (the Association) is a registered charity formed under a trust deed dated 9 May 1989 and is governed by a General Committee (the Committee), the members of which are managing trustees within the meaning of the Charities Act 2011.
The Committee meets approximately 10 times per year. Trustees are elected by a simple majority at a quorate general meeting. Trustees may be co-opted by the Committee to fill a casual vacancy. Routine operating decisions are taken by simple majority of a quorate Committee. Major operating and constitutional decisions are taken by a requisite majority of members in general meeting.
Risk management policy
The Board has reviewed the major risks to which it considers the Association is exposed and has ensured that adequate systems have been established to mitigate those risks.

Policies for furtherance of objectives
It is the policy of the Association to provide facilities for welfare organisations, further education classes and social and leisure activities for the benefit of the inhabitants of Bridgemary, Rowner & Woodcot. The facilities include the hire of the hall for private meetings or functions at very competitive prices.
There have been no significant changes in policies since the last annual report.
Powers
The Association is permitted by its constitution to engage in any lawful activity as shall further its charitable objectives and may invest money not immediately required for its objectives in such investments, securities, or property as it thinks fit.
Related Organisation
5 Brewers Limited
5 Brewers Limited (the trading company) manage the bar and other trading activities conducted on the Association’s premises.
Charges for transactions between the Charity and trading company are made at amounts that, in the opinion of the Committee, equate to a fair market value. The trading company donates its corporation tax adjusted profits to the Association under Gift Aid arrangements as a covenant each year (see Section E). The Association is shareholder of the trading company.
SECTION C – OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives
The objectives of the Association are to encourage and provide facilities for promoting social welfare and recreation for the inhabitants of Bridgemary, Rowner and Woodcot and the surrounding neighbourhood. In the furtherance of those objectives the Association is required to maintain and manage a community centre in co-operation with the local statutory authorities.
Activities
The BRWCA has continued to provide facilities for the benefits of members of the local community. The Association was closed completely from December 2020 to May 2021 during the second lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic. Limited activity followed as further restrictions were in place for a while from May, including table service only and a limit of six people per table. Affiliated clubs made a gradual return to their regular meetings. A number of groups hire the hall on a weekly or monthly basis – Monday and Thursday line dancing, Townswomen’s Guild, Civil Service Pensioners Association, Ladybird Club,Headway, Young At Heart keep fit and pilates and the Women’s Institute. The Association also has darts teams which play in the local leagues.

SECTION D – ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Although some activities were curtailed due to lockdown, once the Association was fully open a full programme of entertainment was scheduled, including the groups, karaoke, summer family fun day, kids’ Christmas party and panto, and New Year celebrations.
Following receipt of government grants detailed below, the opportunity was taken to refurbish the kitchen and toilets.
The hall is also available for private functions such as birthday, christening and wedding parties, and the Association supports local charities with subsidised hall hire fees.
The Association appreciates the hard work of members and staff of the trading company, who give their time to organise the above events on behalf of the approximately 320 members, as of March 2022.
SECTION E – FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The Association’s policy is to hold sufficient reserves to enable it to withstand a financial setback or take advantage of an opportunity. The financial situation of the Charity has been significantly supported by business grants received from the government via the council of £10,667.00 during this financial year. Without these the Charity would not have survived.
Financial position
Due to the above-mentioned grants, the Trustees are satisfied with the financial position of the Association and that the assets are sufficient to meet its current commitments. The charity was not charged for rates by the Council during the pandemic. A discount was also negotiated with Initial/Rentokil, and the monthly payment to EDF Energy (electric) was reduced. The Association charges an amount to the trading company for rent and utilities.
The Association was pleased to receive a covenant of £1,774 from 5 Brewers Limited, being the tax adjusted profit made during the limited trading period of this year.
