| Report of the Trustees |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 |
| The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). |
| OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
| Objectives and aims |
| The company has continued to operate the community centre at Penton Park and its objects continue to be to provide facilities for the social welfare and to improve the life and conditions of the inhabitants of Penton Park. |
| Significant activities |
| The trustees are pleased to say that once again the club finished the financial year in a slightly better financial position than at the start. However, the cost of overheads (utilities, rent, rates etc), and stock, staff pay and employers NI insurance have increased considerably. Bar prices were increased by 5% in April, and the cost of attending daytime events was doubled from £1 to £2. Due to the rate of increasing overheads, prices will remain constantly under review during the coming year. |
| Activities are largely based on social gatherings as a lot of the residents / members rely on these events for company and to help with their mental health. Some of these activities include Film Club, Art Club, Exercise Class, Nitty Natty, Fish & Chip evenings, to name just a few, and we always try to put on something, normally a Tea Party for any nationwide events i.e. VE Day, MacMillan Coffee Morning, and in the past the Kings Coronation and the late Queens Jubilee. |
| Membership numbers have continued to increase, finishing the year at 265. However, the number of Associate members (non-residents) has also increased, and has been capped at 25% of the total. This has resulted in the rejection of new applications from Associates, who now go on a waiting list. |
| Members are playing their part, continuing to support the club through bar sales, raffles, coffee mornings, etc. The club depends totally on the support of its members and we are very grateful for their continuing loyalty. |
| FUTURE PLANS |
| The directors do not propose any major changes to either the objects or the operation of the company and charity. The external roof facias and guttering need replacing urgently, and the trustees have submitted a grant application to cover the cost. |
| The directors are always open for more suggestions of events and volunteers to help out, although we do have around 10 regular volunteers who actively help either running events, cleaning or gardening. Recruitment is in abeyance as no staff are required at the current time. Our cellarman has had further cellar training for pipe cleaning and bar staff have ongoing training as and when required. We have several first aid trained staff and members which was through a First Aid Course that we organised in the Community Centre. |
| STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
| Governing document |
| The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. |
