Objectives and aims
The Charity’s objects are:
To provide and manage a community centre for the benefit of the parish of Milford-on-Sea
Lymington Hampshire and to encourage and promote the personal and social development of young people in the parish.
As the Trustees of the charity, we operate a purpose-built Community Centre which opened in September 2010, and this report is for our 12th year of operation from this centre.
We achieve our charitable aims by:
– Offering our facilities for hire to local organisations and individuals resulting in a broad range of activities including educational classes, music, art, drama, dance, exercise & fitness sessions, meeting rooms for local societies and community support groups.
– Running a well-staffed youth club two evenings a week. The activities offered are designed to encourage communication and conversation as well as teaching our young people skills for life. We also run Seahorses Stay and Play group for pre-school children every week which is also very popular.
– Organising a wide range of activities and entertainment designed to have broad appeal to all ages and be a focal point for the local community.
– Providing a popular and well-used café from Monday to Friday, providing free internet facilities, and also in the evenings, a bar which operates alongside most of our events;
– Operating a charity shop in order to raise funds for the Centre.
