Review of ActivEties Durillg the Year
On the 17 March 2020, all in person services and actives were suspended and staff sent home on
reduced pay (16 hours) until fvrth¢r notic¢. At this tim¢ th¢ Company did not participate in the
Government's Furlough Scheme giveii tlie concern about accuinulating unplanned debt. In this
period the Company also maintained its full ￿mpl¢M¢llt of paid staff. This was the initial response
to the emergence of the Corona Virus Covid 19. The Government's announcement of a Tjational
Lockdown on the 23 March 2020: a lockdown which p¢rsist¢d throughout the peri￿ under review
imposed s[￿lfICant hardship on the Company and its Members. Eight clients who attended the Day
Carc Centre and seven Members died during this period.
In responding to the n¢iv environment imposed by the virus and lockdown som¢ services were
moved to digital plarfornis.

maintain contacl with each other via Hibiscus Zoom pl&tfomi. These cl&8ses delivered by Hibiscus
Tutors working from hom¢ w¢r¢ deliv¢r¢d on Tuesday and Thursday mornings 10.00am -1 I.00am.

intained with and between the Membership.

and allow th¥ Cuvnpètny to ￿maIll Televanl in the n¢w ¢nvironm¢nt this s¥rvice w￿5 vffeJed fite of
Charge. H¢re it must be noted thai the development and delivery of digital services has significantly
increased the reach and number of people thAt relats to the Company.
Edu¢ation Th¢ Lucel Tat¢ Lectur¢ was also transitioned to Hibiscus Zoom platforni. The 2020
lecture Yes or No to Vaccination - The impact of Corotkavirus Covid 19 on the UK Black
population, delivered by Dr Winston Morgan was well attended and made some contribution lo the
debate on th¢ value of taking the Covid 19 vaccine.
Hibiscus Gallery space was also success￿1 and was transformed to Hibiscus Virtual Gallery.
Digital Exhibitions of local and tntemational artists were streamed live on Hibiscus Zoom

exhibiting artist and the assembled audience. These exbibitions were particularly useful in enabling
artists to attract a more diverse customer base 8nd exposing Hibiscus as a new entrant in the virtual
exhibitio[4 art space.
In this period ahhoug]) three longstanding volunteers resigned. the Company was able to increas¢
the overall number of volunteers assisting with the digital delivery of services.
Ni)twithstanding the hardship i￿poSed by the Lockdown, the Company ha5 been able to sustain
itself. The lon&stsnding debt owed to the Company was finally paid, and work on refvrbi.qhing the

Company to explore the opportunittes available on the internet marketplace and identify potential
incom¢ sources.

Independent Eyamiuer's Report to ihe Directors of Ilibiscus Caribbeall Elderly Association
I report lo the trustees (who are also Directors for the purpose ol¢ompany law) on my examination of
the financial statements of Hibiscus Caribbean Elderly Association ('the charitable company.) for the
year ended 31 fvlarch 2021 ivhich comprise the Statcment of Financial Activities, the Balanee Sheet
and related notes.
Thts report is made solely lo th¢ charity's truste&s. as a ix)dy. in accordance with section 145 of th¢
Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might stste to the charity's trustees those
matters l am required to stat¢ to th¢m in this rewrt 2nd for no other purtx)se. To the fitllest extent
pennitted by law. I do not ￿cept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and lh¢
charity's trustees as a body> for my work, for this reporL or for the opiTtion5 1 have fornied.
Respollsibilitie8 and basis of report
A5 the trustee5 of chaTitable company you are responsÉble for the preparation of the financial
5tstements in accordance witEL the requrrements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act.).
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charitable company are not required to be
audited under Part 16 of the A¢t and are eligibl¢ for ind¢pend¢nt examination. I retK)rt in respect of my
¢Kaminalion of Ihe chaTRtable company's financial stalem¢nts carried out und¢r section 145 of the
Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act.) and in canying OLLt my examination I have followed all the
applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5){b) of the 2011 Act.
ikn independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be requitEd in an
audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor consider5 giving their opinlon
on the financial statemeiits. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance
that an independent examination can provide. Consequently l express no opinion as lo wh¢iher the
financial statcmcnts prcscnt a 'true and fair, vI￿V and my report is limited to those specific matters set
out in the itmlependent examkner's statstnent.
IDdependeDÉ examiner's statement
If th¢ charitablc ¢ompany's gross income ¢xcc¢ded £250,000 your &Yaminer must be a member of a
body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. Your income for the year was below this amount. I confirni
l am a member of ACCA which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirni that no material matters have ¢om¢ to my attention in
connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect..
accountin8 records were not kept in respect of the charitable company as required by section
386 of the 2006 Act- or
> the f￿ancIal 5tatemen15 do not accord ivith thos¢ r￿OrdS. or
the fmancial statements do not compty with the accounling requirements of s￿tIon 396 of lh¢
2006 Act other than any requirement that the fmancial statements give a 'true and fair view
which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination" or
the financial statements haye not b¢¢n prepared in a¢¢ordanc¢ with the methods and principles
of the Ststement of Recommended Practice for accounttng and reporting by charities
applicable to ¢harili¢s preparing their a￿OUllts in accordance ivith the Financial Reporting
StatHlard applicable in th¢ UK and Republic of Ir¢land (FRS 102).

I have no concerns and have come across no other mattets in connection with the examination to
which attention should be drawn in thi5 report in Order to enable a proper understanding of the
fmancial statements to be reached.
