The Iruslees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of ReGommended
Prackn'ce ISORPI 'Accounting and Reporting by Chanties" issued in
March 2005 In preparing the annual reportand financial statements ol the charity.

Organisation
Age Active is a registered charity and is govemed by 8 consbtubon dated 19 O¢tobw 1996,
as amended 15 April 1997.
The charity is managed by trustees, with paid workers and volunteers involved in the day
lo day running ol the project aclivilies. New Trustees a￿ ￿cruIted either from association
with the charity In a professional manner. or trom Involvement In the activibes
Some Trustees have been aware of Ihe Charty's actiwlies but not been involved.
The Management Comrnitlee trs responsible for appointing staff lo run the day lo day
activities- lulors lo take the sessions, a Co-ordinator to handle administrab.on and
other pracbcal duties. and a Project hhanager to oversee the running of the organisalion.
Activitias and review
The first full year since lockdown, with no furtough paymen15 or renl amnesty.
Although ¢ovid restri¢lions have been lffted Victoria Hall have Still contiftued wrth restricb'ons
within the building.
The Glasses have not retumed to pre covid numbers. Many people have expressed an
unwillingness to travel into town, for a variety of reasons. among them being".
Sheffield oly ¢enlre is undergoing redevelopment. consequently Fargate is effectively a
building site. Buses have become unreliable and infrequent, many shop5 have closed, large
numbers of homeless people have begun congregating in the aty ¢enlre.
As 8 result not only has il meant less of the previous customer base has stopped coming.
but there is now less of a potential cuslomer base, i.e. far fewer new peopl& ¢oming to the
classes.
The endowment we received last year has proved Invaluable and has meant we are able lo
continue with the charity. In the next couple of years the stsff will reach retirement age,
meaning the organisation will be paying less wages and national insurance. Hopeftjlly this
will be a great help financialty.
11 is wrth great sadness that our long lemi dance tutor Dennis Dryden passed away this year.
Denni5 worked for Age Aclive for nearfy 25 years and was an Integral part of the charity's
day lo day fun¢tioning. He will be greauy missed.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's
trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144{21 of the

Commission under section 145 {5){bl of the 2011 Act., and
El to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examine￿$ report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the
Charity Commission. An examinalion 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 seeking
explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures
undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and
consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair
view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come lo my attention..
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
