CRESCENTS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (continued)

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (continued)

Activities

Hugely curtailed because of Covid 19. We have followed all Government guidelines, resulting in the Centre being closed for most of the period.

The main exception would be a continuation, when guidelines permitted, of the After Schools Club. This was initially for the benefit of essential workers only, and we took a view to not charge a booking fee for the first couple of months in the spirit of "payback" for the Government Grants received.

Outside football training and matches were agreed during lockdown breaks, on the basis that there was no access to changing facilities, toilets etc.

As from May we are able to start some social bookings, but numbers are limited by statute and we are looking forward with hope to 21st June! There has certainly been an encouraging volume of requests for bookings from June 21st onwards.

Risk management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Premises

The charity has continued to successfully hire out the premises and facilities, as well as the running of activities and events.

The Centre has been kept very clean, and we took the opportunity to liaise with Kettering Borough Council (KBC) to review all the maintenance that they were liable for under the terms of the lease. All the electrical system has been checked (and in a few cases upgraded), and the whole Centre has been refitted with LED lighting.

The contact with KBC up to 31/3/2021 (and continuing with the new Local Authority) has been essential, giving us guidance on what to do, and ensuring that we received any relevant Government Grants.

A new lease form the "new" Local Authority is being drafted.

Staff

Mandy (Administrator) and Debbie have been on Furlough. Debbie, our Chair, runs the After Schools Club, and is also employed as our Cleaner. During the days that the Club operated we paid Debbie to clean the building every morning after the club operated, and did not claim her wages for the relevant periods from the furlough scheme.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (continued)

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The net income of the charity for the year was £11,642. (2020: £3,212 net expenditure).

Unrestricted funds at 31 March 2021 amount to £32,001 (2020: £20,359), with bank and cash balances of £19,618 (2020: £7,346).

All of the charity's assets are held for the specific purpose of the charity.

The trustees consider the financial position of the charity to be satisfactory and that there is sufficient resource to meet the obligations for the current year.

Bank balances are healthier than they have been for a number of years, due to Government Grants and the waiving of Council Tax / Business Rates. The level of future income will have to be reviewed regularly, but we believe that with a balance of c£20k we now have a buffer that can cover a 6 month closedown for income and normal outgoings including wages.

Prior to the lockdown in March 2020, we have agreed a reduction in hours for the administrator from 40 hours to 30 hours, this situation will be revisited.

The majority of good news in this report is really down to the continued involvement of the founder of the Crescents, Eddie Brace. Eddie, his family and his Band of Volunteers (the Committee) have kept this Centre going for many years. The last year has been a challenge, but it has been dealt with in a positive and cheerful manner.

We, as trustees, think the future looks good.

The trustees' annual report was approved on and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

Mr J Marriott Trustee

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CRESCENTS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Crescents Community Association ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2021.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Public benefit

The Trustees of Crescents Community Association understand the need to have regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Fixtures and equipment

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Stocks

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.

Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.
