2026 - Trustees' Report and Financial Statements - Crich Glebe Community Centre
Trustees Report
The trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of Crich Glebe Community Centre (the company) for the year ended 31 March 2026
The trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the company comply with the current statutory requirements of the company's governing document, and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), 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 2015) as amended by Update Bulletin 1 (effective 1 January 2015).
Objectives and Activities
The Trust continues to provide a full range of services at the Crich Glebe Community Centre, to ensure that the centre remains a focus for activities in the local area. The centre is used for church activities, Parish Council meetings, early years learning, parent and baby sessions, evening classes, society meetings and events, Luncheon Clubs and private parties.
Health related facilities are also provided, including an optician and hairdressing.
Due regard has been given by the Trustees in respect of guidance given by the Charities Commission on public benefit in deciding the objects and therefore the activities the charity undertakes.
Achievements and Performance
The Trust aims to continue to be used by a comprehensive range of organisations catering for a wide spectrum of the local community with diverse interests and needs. When fully open, local people, from babies to nonagenarians, use the centre's facilities on a weekly basis.
A significant requirement of the Trust’s strategy is that management of the centre is undertaken by an employed Centre Manager. Grace Tomlinson has continued in this role and Trustees continue to be impressed by the impact this has had on the Centre and its role in the community during these 12 months. In particular, the presence of the manager has enabled the centre to deal with various financial and operational challenges that were neither budgeted nor foreseen.
The Community Lottery Fund grant has continued to provide significant capital expenditure to improve the 25 year old building. In this financial year this has been largely focussed on improving security and access to the centre.
Additional grant funding from the National Lottery Fund has enabled us to plan investment in improving the acoustic properties of the main rooms including sound dampening measures and refurbishment of the moveable walls.
The charity also took over the running of the Crich Live community organisation, and has continued to run a very successful series of live performances and shows throughout the 2025-6 financial year alongside the very successful Crich Cinema Club.
Furthermore, the charity received transferred funds from the Crich and Neighbourhood Community Care Scheme Charity as it closed and took on the running of the Crich Luncheon Club which has always been held at the Glebe but has been run by this separate charity until now. This took place in July 2025.
Structure. Governance and Management
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Following re-submission of the application to the Charities Commission of the Member agreed proposal to reconstitute as a CIO in March 2025, the application was approved on 3 April 2025. Following this, in January

Trustees Report
2026, community representatives previously acting as Trustees but not constitutionally trustees were co-opted onto the board.
Recruitment And Appointment of New Trustees
The new constitution holds that Trustees are appointed in the following manner:
2 nominations by the Archdeacon of Chesterfield (normally nominated via St Mary’s Crich PCC)
2 nominations by Crich Parish Council
Up to 8 elected representatives of the local community (elected annually by rotation) at AGM by membership of The Crich Glebe Community Centre CIO.
The Trust actively seeks to appoint Trustees to fill any vacancies from the specific community bodies or with appropriate skills. It is the policy of the Trust to provide any necessary training.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independant Examiners Report
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Glebe Crich Glebe Field Trust Ltd ('the company'
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended: 31 March 2026
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) and the Charities Act 2011. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 145 (1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with the SORP and the Charities Act 2011. 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 seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
1 to keep accounting records in accordance with section 145 (1) (a) of the Act
-
2 to prepare accounts which give a true and fair view of the income and expenditure of the charity during the year
-
3 to prepare accounts which comply with the accounting requirements of the SORP
-
4 to prepare accounts which comply with the Charities Act 2011

Notes to the Financial Statements
1 Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Crich Glebe Field Trust Limitedmeets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
Income
All income is recognised once the company has an entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the company is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the company has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the company or the company is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Donated services or facilities are recognised when the company has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the company of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time is not recognised and refer to the trustees' report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the company which is the amount the company would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer the economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs that are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset's use.

2026 - Trustees' Report and Financial Statements - Crich Glebe Community Centre
Notes to the Financial Statements
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the company and include project management. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with the administration of the company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Charitable activities and governance costs are costs incurred on the company's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the company apportioned to charitable activities.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
All assets costing more than £150.00 are capitalised.
A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditure accounts.
Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis:
| Account | Method | Method | **Rate (%) ** | Period (yrs) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Land and Buildings | Straight Line | Full Month | 2 | |
| Fixture & Fittings | Reducing Balance | Full Month | 25 | |
| Office Equipment | Reducing Balance | Full Month | 25 | |
| IT Equipment | Striaght Line | Full Month | 2 |
Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised as the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Financial instruments
The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Pensions
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year.
Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds that are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes. Restricted funds are funds that are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
