Trustees Annual Report for the year ended 30 September 2025

The Trustees of Bonds Street Community Association are pleased to present their report for the year ended 30 September 2025.

Purposes of the Charity

The Association is established for the advancement of education and the relief of poverty, sickness and the aged to promote the benefit of families in the Bonds Street area of the County of Londonderry (hereinafter described as ‘the area of benefit’) and for the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation for families who have need of such facilities by reason of their social and economic circumstances in order that their conditions of life might be improved.

Main Activities to further the Charity’s purposes for the public benefit

The main activities of the Charity are the organisation and facilitating of trips and events for the residents of the area of benefit in order to provide enjoyment, education and to help build relationships with neighbouring communities.

Main Achievements in the year

Over this past year we received funding from Radius in July which enabled us to organise a cross community bus trip to the Jet Centre and Portrush for parents and kids with a meal in McDonalds on the way home. They also funded the replacement of the bulbs and plants in Bonds Street playpark. We were also allocated funding from Good Relations and we were able to take parents and kids from cross community to Rosepark Farm, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed.

We are still working with the Rathmore Centre on a cross community basis and enjoy making different arts and crafts, day trips, history talks and creative writing classes with the ladies in Creggan.

During the year we have also gone on shared outings and gardening classes with Lincoln Courts Community Association.

Public Benefit Statement

The Trustees of Bonds Street Community Association confirm that they have complied with their duty under section 17 (5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and that the public benefit requirement has informed the activities of the Society in the year to 30 September 2025.
