RAINHAM ORGANISERS FOR YOUTH ACTIVITY LEADERS

for the Year Ended 30 September 2021

Report of the Trustees

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The charity's objective, set out in the constitution, is to provide for the benefit of children and young adults in the Rainham parish of the London Borough of Havering through recreational activities and facilities, indoor and out, that develop physical, mental and spiritual capacities, encouraging and supporting growth as the youths mature as individuals and responsible members of society, thereby improving their conditions of life.

Significant activities

With the use of the "ROYALS" building let by the local council, the charity, which has come to be known as "ROYALS" is able to provide a base for young people in the Rainham area and its maintenance of the halls to a high standard have enabled it to make significant earnings from local clubs etc. which have/will be reserved for future maintenance and further improved achievement of its aims.

Public benefit

The provision of the halls for rental to local community clubs etc and the running of the youth centre within further the charity's purposes for the public benefit.

The trustees have had regard to the Charities Commission guidance on public benefit.

Volunteers

One of the trustees devotes many hours to assisting with the running of the youth centre and trips for the children and is therefore permitted to reclaim travel costs towards out of pocket expenses.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

The trustees are pleased that the charity's work during the year provided a base for various activities to be provided for young people in the Rainham area.

Furthermore, the generation of funds from letting intermittently unused portions of the hall to local groups enabled trips to be provided on a subsidised basis to young people.

Funding was secured in this year to provide activities and trips for young people during the summer holidays which was great success. It was requested that this be repeated by the local government due to the positive feedback received.

Fundraising activities

Fundraising activities were reduce this year with the pandemic restrictions, but were previously raised through means of a sponsored bike ride and local fayre.

Internal and external factors

Charitable activities gradually recommenced following closures caused by the Covid pandemic, although extra cleanliness and security measures were improved during the time the centre was closed.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

At the end of the financial period, the charity had a net balance sheet value of £87,931, an increase of £21,167, all being unrestricted funds.

Covid support grants received amounted to £35,319.

Reserves policy

Funds are held in reserve to enable the upkeep of the halls which have been maintained to high standard. Until the new lease is secured, extra projects have been put on hold without further specific funding.

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 30 September 2021

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Going concern

The present lease is still under negotiation for renewal and future success on plans will hinge on a successful renegotiation of the lease at subsidised values in keeping with the benefit provided to the community.

Due to a breakdown in trustee relationships this has, as yet, failed to be agreed.

One trustee became the prime contact of a new faith charity after the end of the financial year, with objects that include providing a premises for community use which may conflict with the aims of the ROYALS in renewing the lease.

FUTURE PLANS

The charity is focussed on extending the range of activities provided for young people. Trustees are working on avenues to maintain and if possible increase levels of finance to facilitate future investment in facilities available to encourage youth membership.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

New trustees are recruited from the general public that will be of benefit to the charity and the charities aims in accordance with the governing document.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Rainham Organisers for Youth Activity Leaders

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Rainham Organisers for Youth Activity Leaders

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Rainham Organisers for Youth Activity Leaders (the Trust) for the year ended 30 September 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all 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 Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. 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.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable.

Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant and are recognised in full in the statement of financial activities in the year in which they are receivable..

Donated services and facilities are included a the value to the charity where this can quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included.

Gifts donated for resale are included as incoming resources within activities for generating funds when they are sold.

Income from the charity shop is included in the year in which it is receivable.

Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered.

Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes including the charity's shop.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of charitable activities.

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of the objects of the charity and include project management.

6. TRUSTEES' REMUNERATION AND BENEFITS

There were no trustees' remuneration for the year ended 30 September 2021, nor for the year ended 30 September 2020.

However, S Sheen runs a small weekly toddler group at the ROYALS for which rental is waved due to the significant contribution in time to the running of the ROYALS and work with children attending events organised by the ROYALS.

The annual cost of use of the halls to any other children's group would be £2,850.

As detailed in note 13, the equivalent amount of unremunerated hours donated to the charity by S Sheen far exceeds the rental waved.

13. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES

Three trustees utilise the centre halls for their respective organisations and those organisations have therefore contributed to premises rental and hire as follows:

Rainham Muslim Community - £2,936 (2020:£1,884) - trustee - K. Busary RCCG - £3.363 (2020: £3,603) - trustee - C. Fagade

S Sheen toddler group - £2,850 (2020 £2,280) - trustee S Sheen. - fee waved in recognition of services donated (see below)

S. Sheen regularly contributes many hours to the youth centre to assist with the children and receives a reimbursement for expenses incurred for travel costs (see note 6).

Time spent at minimum wage would equate to approximately £1,500 per month (for every month of the year) and this therefore represents a substantial donation for which the centre and other trustees are extremely grateful.

RCCG had arrears of £164 at the balance sheet date.
