TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The Trustees present their annual report together with their financial statements of Open Door Family Centre for the year ending 31 March 2021.

Method of appointment or election of trustees
The Board has the power to appoint additional Trustees as it considers fit to do so. The charity is organised so that the Trustees meet regularly to manage its affairs.
Objectives and activities
Policies and objectives
The object of the charity is to enhance the development and education of children by:-

-
Encouraging other charitable activities through which parents may help the children.

Providing the necessary facilities for the daily care, recreation and education of children during out of school hours and school holidays.

TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Review of the year
This has been a frustrating year both in terms of the challenges of Covid-19 and all of the implications this created for the safe operation of our core services and the continuing delays in securing new enlarged premises from which we hope to offer an increased range of services to the community.
The financial implications arising from the uncertainty about the continued availability of our present operational site and the delay in securing a new medium term lease of expanded premises has meant that we have been unable to market the vacant premises at Howell Drive; the end of our commercial letting and income from the hall has returned our operations to the break - even status created by the Flying Start & Foundation phase contract revenues. These contracts cover our operational costs and do not provide a margin.
The comparative strength of our reserves provides the financial resilience which has enabled us to manage these delays without undue financial strain.
The fact that we have in this challenging year maintained our core operations, and the standards of our care is a testament to the adaptability and commitment of all of our staff. That we have done so in a safe and prudent manner has ensured the safety of our staff and users and ensured that a key resource and community service has, within the statutory restrictions we faced from time to time continued to be available with all of the other benefits to our users that this entails.

TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Plans for the future
The Trustees have concluded that, with or without a clear settlement of the premises question by H1 2022 we will either reoccupy our Howell Drive premises or market the premises for sale and or lease. The Trustees have considered that these options must be pursued notwithstanding the uncertainty effecting the market or he possibility that a disposal may generate a value substantially below the cost value recorded in these accounts.
Additionally, subject to the availability of enlarged premises available on reasonable terms the Trustees have prepared and adopted a revised business plan to expand the range of services we will offer with consequent increases to our revenues. The Trustees have carefully structured the expansion plans to mitigate the risk involved.
As ever I am indebted to all of my fellow - trustees for their hard - work, common sense and good humour with which they all go about their roles. In this year we said goodbye to our former colleague Clair Price who stepped down as a Trustee after many years of service.
Financial Review
The Trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible or intangible fixed assets (i.e. free reserves) held by the charity should be sufficient to maintain the running of the organisation for the foreseeable future. At the end of the financial year unrestricted funds held by the charity totalled £30,033 (2020: 23,282).
Public Benefit
The Trustees have had regard for the revised guidance on public benefit in their administration of the charity.
Basis of accounting
The accounts of the Charity have been prepared on a Receipts and Payments basis in accordance with charity regulations.
22nd January 2022 This report was approved by the Trustees on ………………………………….. and signed on their behalf by:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages 5 - 7.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 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 2011 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts 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.
