Nature of the Governing Document and constitution of the charity

The charity is governed by a Trust Deed. The constitution having been adopted on 27 January 2004.

All new trustees are elected at the Annual General Meeting by putting names forward for election or by being co-opted on during the year.

Relationships with other groups, charities and individuals

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

Objectives and activities

A summary of the objects of the charity as set out in its governing document

The charity's objectives are:

1) To promote the well being of the public within the area by providing facilities for recreation, education and leisure activities;

2) To promote activities across the age range from pre-school to senior citizens;

3) To carry out such charitable purposes for the benefit of those living or working in the benefit area as the trustees, in their absolute discretion, from time to time decide.

Summary of main activities of the charity in relation to its objects

Due to Covid 19 restrictions being in place for most of the financial year the charity has not been able to operate its usual activities. It is hoped that most activities will resume during 2021/22.

With the charity unable to generate its own income, and in order to ensure the survival of the charity throughout the pandemic, the charity received additional Covid 19 support from Torfaen County Borough Council shown in note 8 to the accounts.

Achievements and performance

Investment performance achieved against investment objectives set

Investment income disclosed in the accounts is interest received on the charity's bank accounts. The charity has no other investments.

Financial review

Policies on reserves

The charity has funds set aside in a 'Building Account' to cover the cost of any 'one-off' repairs that need to be made to the hall. The other bank accounts of the charity have sufficient funds to cover the day-to-day running costs of the charity.

Principal funding sources and how expenditure in the year under review has supported the key objectives of the charity

As the charity was unable to operate its usual activities during much of 2020/21 it received Small Rates Relief Covid 19 Grants from Torfaen County Borough Council shown in note 8 to the accounts. Other smaller one-off Covid 19 grants from other funders are shown in note 5 to the accounts.

Donations are also received from time to time from various benefactors whose support of the charity is very much appreciated.

Availability and adequacy of assets of each of the funds

The board of trustees is satisfied that the charity's assets in respect of each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Garndiffaith Community Association

Year ended 31 March 2021

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Garndiffaith 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2021

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is Top Road, Garndiffaith, Pontypool, Torfaen, NP4 7LT.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Since March 2020 the Covid-19 pandemic has seriously affected the UK generally. As a charity we have taken all necessary steps to combat the effects of the virus and to ensure that the charity is able to continue to operate.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

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 income is 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:

Year ended 31 March 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources (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.

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:

Community Hall - 5% pa Straight line Fixtures & Fittings - 15% pa Straight line

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
