Report of the Trustees
The Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial |
statements for the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2019. The Trustees have adopted the provisions the Statement of |
Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial |
statements of the charity. |
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with |
the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published on 16 July 2014 (as amended by Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016). |
Chair's report
The charity has seen another successful year. An effective management team has provided drive and stability and has achieved its |
objectives. |
Through its success in running and developing the Kingswood Centre, the charity was asked to take over the management and |
development of the Corby Old Village Community Centre. This has been a major project and this year has seen a significant increase in |
the use of facilities in the local area. |
The Kingswood Community Centre has continued to thrive. The management team has responded positively to community related |
objectives, in particular: - |
Ongoing support and co-operation for the Kingswood and Hazel Leys 'Big Lottery' project. The Centre has hosted and provided |
subsidised support for many KHL events. The charity also has links with other organisations such as Made in Corby, Corby Community |
Arts, and the Core in an arts project funded by the lottery Creative Civic Change. |
Continued support to community groups involving all ages and sexes. |
The cafe provides low cost meals and drinks to residents on the estate as well as the neighbourhood centre hirers. It is a place for |
members of the public to meet and enjoy a warm welcoming environment. Not only is the 'Snack Shack' a place for social meet ups, it is a |
place that provides a lifeline for disadvantaged persons and the homeless; they will be given a warm drink and food. |
The Kingswood Centre is a community hub for all local residents which provides a focus for community activities such as Citizens |
Advice Bureau, casual meeting-up of estate residents and for several groups with members that live in and around Corby. |
The centre provides a development opportunity for volunteers and a training plan is being subsidised to enable formal qualifications to be |
gained. |
In conclusion, I am very proud of the achievements of the Co-operative and of its continued relevance to the life of estate residents. |
