Trustees’ Report
Rosehill Community Association
For the year ended 31[st] March 2021
The Trustees submit their annual report and the financial statements for the year ended 31[st] March 2021.
Note: It would be remiss of us not to advise on the extreme effects Covid-19 has had upon Rosehill Community Association (RCA) since March 2020.We have like many others been forced to close, open up and close and be subject to a variety of Covid-19 Tier Level restrictions over the preceding 12 months. This situation has had a serious negative impact on our hirers and RCA’s income from our hirers. We are proud that we have survived this period and will continue our efforts to again build up Rosehill Community Association going forward.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
a. CONSTITUTION
Rosehill Community Association (RCA) is a registered charity set up to provide a base for community activities within the neighbourhood of Rosehill in Sutton. There have been no formal changes in charitable objectives since the last annual report although we are to carefully look at these to ensure they remain relevant and appropriate.
b. METHOD OF APPOINTMENT OR ELECTION OF TRUSTEES
The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected or coopted under the terms of the constitution with user groups feeding into the process. This year we are in the extremely fortunate position of having a number of new individuals interested in becoming Trustees of RCA. Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, planned face to face training sessions for these prospective Trustees had to be postponed but we will be resuming these as soon as it is safe and practicable to do so.
C. ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND DECISION MAKING
The Trustees meet three times a year. Several of our prospective Trustees have already attended some of our committee meetings as observers, to help give them an insight into what we do and how we currently do it, allowing them to reflect on their potential roles and how they may be able to best help us and feed into RCA operations.
Paula Gowing continues as Secretary of RCA and Lisa Kellett remains as our Treasurer her digital expertise in accounting and banking has brought RCA up to modern day standards with most financial transactions taking place online. Both of these people are community representatives on Sutton Local Committee for the Friends of Rosehill Parks. Stephen Kelly remains our Chair and has steered us through much of the Covid-19 restrictions. Derek Wedge (Trustee) remains up to date and active as one of our Trustees.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Our general objectives are to provide modern and safe facilities for sports, activities, learning and non-political meetings for various groups from our local community. The clubs and users that use Rosehill Pavilion provide activities across all ages, abilities, and gender groups (without discrimination) which promote wellness, fitness and learning which also feeds in to helping people to counter loneliness and isolation.
We have a considerable number of not-for-profit groups and users:
-
Doris Holford Dance and Stage School for dance, ballet, primarily for younger people but there is no age restriction, and this is very popular and has been going for many years.
-
Rosehill Table Tennis Club offering coaching to juniors early in the evening providing excellent coaching, self-discipline, increased confidence, comradery and improved levels of fitness. Later in the evening the adults attend to play amongst themselves and improve as well as playing matches, tournaments and competitions.
-
Bird Club meets bi-weekly on Sunday afternoons. The Bird Club also holds an annual event in January that attracts bird fanciers/twitchers from all over the country.
-
Home Farm Trust (HFT) a Registered Charity, runs important and well supported groups for adults with learning and/or physical disabilities. They hold a weekly disco run partly by the users themselves and for those unable to dance there are arts, crafts and games on offer besides singing along to the music. Some members of this group participate in the Speak Up Partnership meetings exploring safe travel, employment, Hate Crime to name a few.
-
The Achieve Together (formerly Care Management Group) a Registered Charity, continues to run sessions for people with profound learning disabilities four times per week providing these services and activities to their clients, who come from around the borough who can meet up and socialise with each other and join in the many activities on offer.
-
NHS Blood Donation Service we welcome this service to Rosehill Community Association the benefits of which are well known to all.
-
NHS pre-diabetes group who targets borderline diabetics to help improve their knowledge and understanding of diabetes enabling them to adjust their eating habits to ward off Diabetes.
We have a small number of groups and users who are for profit, who not only benefit local users but also benefit the local community as a whole by promoting selfdiscipline, increased confidence, increased balance, improved levels of fitness, heathier lifestyle, regular meet ups, a social scene whilst ultimately feeding in to help the local community and our NHS by keeping people more active, fit, healthy, form friendships/support groups and become more engaged.

-
Go Ju Ryu and Chi Combat two martial arts groups providing teaching for juniors through to adults the skills of martial arts (self-defence, not aggression).
-
Zumba classes with a wide variety of age groups which are always well attended providing training for fitness.
-
Slimming World a well-attended group attracting people of all ages and abilities promoting healthy eating, weight loss, exercises, tips and tricks to help keep them keep fit and healthy.
One of the reasons that many of the above groups as so well attended is partly due to them operating a ‘pay as you go’ service enabling a number of users to attend without incurring membership fees which may also help some people who live in local deprived areas.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Covid-19 restrictions have had a major impact on achievements and performance this year.
We have reserves of £112674 for maintenance, repairs, future adaptions and the running of Rosehill Pavilion. This year considerable repairs, maintenance and adaptions have been made at Rosehill Pavilion.
The promotion of RCA within the local community has increased throughout the year due partly to our presence on social media, this is organic and will continue to improve.
We have continued to adopt a Covid safe environment with additional measures being put in place to allow users to safely use Rosehill Pavilion when restrictions allow.
Rosehill Park West (previously known as Rosehill Recreation Ground) may see big changes if a new special educational needs school for secondary aged children on the autistic spectrum when it is commenced and completed within the park. We see this as an opportunity to ensure that Rosehill Pavilion (which RCA shares with a cafe, changing rooms and the newly refurbished public conveniences) has a say in the way that traffic and parking is managed, so as not to impact on our users, many of whom have disabilities.
We want to continue to work with the London Borough Sutton (our landlord) to contribute to the public health agenda, help combat obesity, keep people active, improve mental health and wellness and try to eradicate social isolation and loneliness. There is a real opportunity for us to make a real difference by working with the wider community to encourage healthier lifestyles by making the most of the existing free provision of outdoor play area, gym equipment, playing fields and parkland.
The association has depended on volunteers who give their time to help manage Rosehill Pavilion to enable activities to run smoothly. We are now reviewing the use of the main
4
hall for social events as there is a shortage of local affordable venues for such things as children’s parties.
We would like to put on record our thanks to our volunteers - Lisa Kellett, Paula Gowing, Stephen Kelly and Norman Everett.
SURPLUS/DEFICIT
This year RCA have received Central Government Covid-19 Grant Funding administered through the London Borough of Sutton in the total sum of £9,063 which we are extremely grateful for. The results for the year and the Charity’s financial position at the end of the year is shown in the attached Financial Statements. There is a deficit of £3,707 for the year (2020: £5,263 deficit ) and reserves stand at £108,125 (2020: £111,832 ) in total.

Rosehill Community Association
Independent Examiner’s Report on the Accounts
I report on the accounts for the charity for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 .
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an Independent Examination is needed
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charities Commission under section 145(5) (b); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiners report
An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements have not been met;
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act ,or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
