**THE ROTHSAY EDUCATION CENTRE (BEDFORD) LIMITED** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 August 2020** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2020. 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** 

Founded in 1977, the Centre was funded and managed by the then Bedford College of Further Education. It was subsequently transferred to Bedfordshire County Council who supported it until 1997. On 1st September 1997 it became an independent private company limited by guarantee, with charitable status and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. There are currently over 1,000 members. 

## The principal object of the Rothsay Education Centre is: 

- to advance the education mainly of persons over 50, and provide facilities for recreation and leisure with the object of improving the quality of their lives. 

To achieve this the Centre provides a wide range of educational and recreational courses aimed at the over 50's. In addition, the Centre also offers a number of opportunities for education visits and holidays and free advisory sessions. With an on-site restaurant the Centre provides activities and companionship from 9am to 4.30pm five days a week during term time, some weekends and during the summer holiday. 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and accordingly report on the benefits brought to the public by its activities; namely Educational courses, Recreational and Social Opportunities and Advisory Talks.  Examples of feedback received from students are reported. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Educational Courses** 

Courses continue to be provided for adults, with 1,805 enrolments including those on the 22 courses over 6 weekends available for anyone over the age of 18 years. Our 152 daytime and summer courses covered a wide range of subjects, the majority being academic non-vocational as befitting the student population. The range of educational backgrounds was wide with some students returning to learning for the first time since leaving formal education and others continuing a tradition of life-long learning. The Centre offered a wide range of course lengths and costs to suit all incomes and a diverse spectrum of subjects from art to science, languages and music, and physical activity. The thriving Rothsay Ramblers Group has 130 members. 

## **Recreational and Social Opportunities** 

As well as providing life-long learning opportunities, the Centre continues to provide extra-curricular activities with an educational remit.  In 2019-20 the Centre organised 6 educational trips to museums, exhibitions and theatres.

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 August 2020** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **RESPONSE TO SARS-COV-2 PANDEMIC** 

This past year has been an extraordinary one but the organisation's response to the pandemic has been magnificent. With the announcement of a national lockdown in March 2020 action was immediately taken to ensure the REC would remain a going concern. Over the Easter holiday the summer term programme was re-configured and re-arranged for the delivery of all REC courses online. Thanks to the tremendous efforts of so many of our tutors to adapt their courses and teaching style some 80% of the courses that would have taken place in our refurbished classrooms were delivered online through the summer. That was in no small measure possible thanks to the willingness, adaptability and for some perseverance, of so many of our members in embracing the new technology at short-notice and new ways of continuing to learn as well as stay in touch with one another. 

Staff too have played a significant role in the response to the pandemic. Their actions in re-arranging the summer programme and ensuring regular communication to keep REC members up-to-date through newsletters, the website and emails continued right through our traditional summer break without interruption have been vital and well-received. Thanks to many additional hours from our staff the REC has been able to keep going. 

Though the majority of our students have successfully migrated to learning online, regrettably not all have been able to do so. Consequently, a fundraising appeal was launched in July to raise sufficient funds to offset the drop in the take-up of courses and resultant decreased income and the cessation of our programme of regular visits and holidays. The response from our members to the appeal, together with additional funds received from local grant-funding agencies has been good. Despite that and a successful insurance claim for the disruption caused by the pandemic, the REC is still facing a financially challenging environment. 

## **GENERAL** 

The past year started by taking delivery of our newly refurbished and extended premises. The fact that such a major project was completed on-time so that courses started as planned in September was a major achievement and the  response from our members to the completed work was overwhelmingly positive. Protracted and detailed negotiations with the builders were successfully concluded over the past year and an end-of-project report produced. 

On 1st November 2019 our new website, funded by the National Lottery, went live. It provides an important foundation for the REC's future marketing and communication activities. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial position** 

The financial results for the year ended 31st August 2020 are set out on pages 7 to 17. 

The Company, being limited by guarantee and registered as a Charity, is prohibited by its Memorandum from paying dividends to its members. 

The surplus for the year of £21,288 (2019 - £8,241) has been added to reserves. 

At the year end there was £323 on the General Fund (2019 - £64,445). In order to fund the building development work £85,410 was transferred from the General Fund to the Building Development Fund. 

The Building Development Reserve, formally the Appeal Fund and the Furniture and Equipment Fund was £nil at the year end (2019 - £63,275).  The deficit for the year was £155,985. 

A new fund was opened during 2019 for the development of the Centre's website. The balance on this fund at the end of the year was £1,500 (2019 - £8,800).

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 August 2020** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

In 2018 the Trustees reviewed the various reserves held and decided that the following arrangement better reflects the strategic and operational needs of the Centre. This has been done to bring more clarity to the financial position. The following reserves have been identified: 

- A General Fund comprising of an Operational Reserve and a Winding-up Reserve 

- A Building Development Reserve 

## **Operational Reserve** 

The operational reserve includes money for running the Centre including the courses. Courses for the following academic year are advertised in June and bookings open at that time. Thus there is a slight phasing mismatch between income received before the start of the academic year and expenditure but this is balanced by the operational reserve. All other running expenses call on this reserve. 

## **Winding-up reserve** 

This reserve is a designated fund held to protect the charity from any unanticipated loss of income. This reserve ensures that any outstanding financial liabilities could be met if the Centre had to close unexpectedly. 

## **Building Development reserve** 

The purpose of this reserve is to fund the refurbishment and extension of the Centre. All monies earmarked for building development are held in this reserve and all legitimate expenditure towards the refurbishment and extension are called from this reserve.  At the end of the year the reserve stood at £nil (2019 - £64,455). 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The refurbished premises came into use at the start of the academic year, with the additional classroom increasing the teaching capacity of the Centre by approximately 15%. In November 2019 the REC's new website, developed by a local company with funding from the National Lottery, was successfully launched. These two projects provide the foundations to enable an increase in the number and diversity of students benefiting from the Centre in the future. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The Rothsay Education Centre is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 28 May 1997 and updated on 25 November 2015. It is a charity registered with the Charity Commission. 

There are currently around 1,000 members, each of whom agrees to contribute £1 in the event of the Charity winding up. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of Trustees** 

As set out in the Articles of Association, all Trustees are appointed by the Charity's members at the Annual General Meeting held every November. The Board also includes three Student Representatives as voted by the members and a local Borough Councillor nominated by Bedford Borough Council. 

Trustees serve no more than 3 terms of office (a maximum of 12 years) and Student Representatives no more than 2 terms (a maximum of 8 years), unless asked by the Board if the majority of Trustees believe it is in the best interests of the Charity. 

In the event a Trustee retires, a temporary appointment can be made by the Trustees until an election can be made at the next Annual General Meeting. No person may be appointed a Trustee under the age of 18, or have been declared bankrupt at any time. Trustees are required to declare that there are no reasons why they may not serve as a Trustee. No Trustee receives any remuneration for their role.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE ROTHSAY EDUCATION CENTRE (BEDFORD) LIMITED** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Rothsay Education Centre (Bedford) Limited ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2020. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of FMAAT which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

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

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

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.
