WOLLATON PARK COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
We run a community centre within which we hire out rooms to local groups such as Tai Chi, Slimming World, Singing for the brain, mens and ladies groups. We also hire out rooms to local residents for functions such as children's birthday parties. We also offer annual funded activities such as garden parties in the summer and a Christmas fayre.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity ended the period in profit and maintains reserves targeting three to six months of running costs. The charity is now completely reliant on its own generated income, such as room hire and café sales, following the cessation of financial support from the local authority. The trustees confirm that resources are adequate to meet liabilities as they fall due.
