We have cc)ntinued to provide a variety of projects and activities throughout the year for the local community, including our over 60's fthess class, bowlers group, and ti>Jdler groups. We hosted ongoing social actNities ranging from a weekly dominoes club lo a wann hub. a variety of fftness dasses and activities and continued to provide supwt through our communty shop. We ran communty events such as the Christrnas Lights Switch on and St Inan's Gala Day. Our community cafe ran 5 days a week until end March 2025. Summary of the main activities In relation to these objects Achievements and performance Summary of the main achievements of In April, we took on responsibilty for the caretaking team at Berth the charity during the financial period Communty Centre after facing significant cuts in hours from NAC. This came with many issues of it's own, particularly given financial restrictions however in the final quarter of this year, the situation has stabilised with a strong team in pla￿, and we are positive atMJJt vthat this means for the centre going forward. In April, the loca Carpet B0￿S Group which used d)e centre for their weekly games found themselves in a posrtion there they were possibly going to have to stop running. Following discussions with the group, we assumed fcfmal resFonsibilty f￿ the sessions to enable the group to continue running and have since delivered approximatdy 95 sessions. The Community Garden continued to grow and develop over the last year, trarEforming the Outdo￿ space at the Ccfflmunty Centre into a vibran( welcomirNJ and productrve hub for the whole town. We have a stror¥J volunteer team who dedicates many houts a week maintainiTrJ the gardens and have worked with the local school and care homes to develop international art projects around the garden. For the 3rf year. we oversaw the organisation of the Christmas Lights Swttch ￿. Despite many setbacks, including the removal of NAC financial suppcKt, we managed, with the support of some local businesses to organw anothw successful event for the IcKal communty. Our todd￿ group has continued to devdop over the last year and is now completely communty people. one of thich a d)ildminder leading both sessions. Established a partnership wth CEIS North Ayrshire to develop a Youth Ern￿OYment Hub. This has resulted in many local young people securing employmenL apprenticeships or going into further education, as well as many bcal employers being connected with fresh. nv)tivated young tslent. Financial review Brief statement of the charity's policy The charity will ensure reserves of 3 months running costs are on reserves maintsined. Details of any deficit Most of this yearfs shortfall relates to on&off costs and investment in the building and services. Several resource-intensive projects that were unsustainable in their current fomi were closed at the end of the financial year. This was a deliberate decision to protect our long-term finanaal health and free up capacity to focus on sustsinable, high-impact services. By making the right strategic cFh)ices now, we are confident we can retum to a more balanced position and buikl a stronger foundation for the future. Donated facilities and services (if any) Every Friday we provide a free hall let for a local group that gives out surplus fo(yJ for free to communty members. We provkle a free weekly space in our IT Suite for CEIS to provide youth employment support. other optional information Declaration The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees, report above.
