Directors' report period ended 30 November 2025

The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the period ended 30 November 2025

Principal activities of the company

The period 1 December 2024 to 30 November 2025 has been challenging in new ways this year. This has been a quiet year due to other commitments. There has been no activity or turnover during the period 1 December 2024 to 30 November 2025 Margareta KERN resigned as a director. The Methodist Church decided that they wanted to sell the ZONE (formerly Downderry Methodist Chapel). It was therefore closed from Feb 2025. Most of the community’s efforts were spent challenging this decision. The director (Helen Thomas) started a petition to ‘SAVE THE ZONE’ which collected over 1,000 signatures from the community which helped to galvanise support from the local MP, support from Cornwall Council and media coverage (including the BBC). In November 2025, the Methodist reversed their decision and the ZONE was secured and purchased as a community asset. Without this venue, no creative writing workshops, film screenings or theatre events could take place
