ROWNER COMMUNITY TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
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 March 2021. 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
Rowner Community Trust (RCT) is a community development trust that has been created to enhance Grange Ward's well-being. Well-being traditionally has focused on happiness in terms of pleasure and pain avoidance. However, well-being can also focus on self-realisation and the ability of a person to be fully functioning. RCT aim to support both sets of understanding by supporting a combination of actions. These will be social, economic, environmental, cultural, and political actions identified by individuals and their communities as essential for them to flourish and fulfil their potential.
Significant activities
Over the past year Rowner Community Trust has been working towards our vision of a healthy, happy and safe community that values and cares for all its citizens enabling everyone to reach their full potential. Our mission remains the goal of improving the quality of; and reducing the inequalities within the Grange Ward. However, like many others the Covid-19 pandemic has placed the Trust under pressure with much of our income severely effected through our buildings being closed. This has required the use of government schemes and due to good governance and using responsibly our reserves we can continue our mission. Whilst the trust has been hit by closures we are acutely aware that the local economy will be affected by the outcomes related to Covid-19. This has meant that the Trust has had to refocus our community efforts on addressing the Covid-19 impact whilst maintaining a sustainable organisation for the future.
This has resulted in the Trust applying for and gaining funding to manage and run projects that will provide much needed support in the future months. The main project will be an employment access centre to enable people to gain support to get back into work. This will incorporate self employment and enterprise training to help those seeking to strike it out on their own in business. There will be a specialist section dedicated to young people aged 18-24. To provide young people with much needed work experience and skills training RCT will combine our support with community projects that can make a lasting change here in Rowner. It will be like our very own new deal and this will include our community gardens project, the RCT kitchen and our new multi media conference centre. All projects that can provide both a stimulus and positive experience for young people.
Although we have been focusing on recovery from Covid-19 we have not forgotten existing needs and desires here in our community. RCT will continue to support or run projects that reduce people's feeling of isolation and enable residents to feel included in their community. Our efforts to attract both statutory health projects and great local learning and leisure activities will continue, albeit with covid precautions in place. RCT knows that the next 12 months will be challenging for all but rest assured that your local community development trust will be there going forward.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on Public Benefit in deciding what activities the company should undertake in order to achieve its aims and objectives.
The activities the Trust will undertake for public benefit are as follows:
-
Commit to developing an inclusive process involving debate and dialogue between the community and the RCT board.
-
Provide different forms of social support through friends, neighbours, membership organisations or formal support through services and facilities.
-
Develop the very place we live such as our environment whilst, developing our emotional attachment to the local area and our feeling of a sense of belonging. Having time and space to celebrate our community's cultural heritage.
-
Provide residents with opportunities to increase their employment and earning potential.
-
Enable a voice so local people can reduce inequalities of access to local resources and opportunities, creating a sense of collective control and influence.
-
Ensure access to education, leisure, making people feel safe whilst knowing their families' future security is sustainable.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial report for the year
A summary of the year's results can be found on page 6 and 7. Total incoming resources amounted to £300,615 (2020:£255,316). Total resources expended amounted to £204,867 (2020: £222,552).
Reserves policy
At the year end, unrestricted funds amounted to a surplus of £193,772 (2020: £139,499) and restricted reserves amounted to a surplus of £678,093 (2020: £636,619).
The long term policy is to accumulate unrestricted reserves to a sustainable level, sufficient to continually cover the charity's annual expenditure on meeting its objectives. This position will be reviewed regularly, in light of the charity's circumstances and the level of its income security.
Subsidiary company
The charity has a wholly owned subsidiary, RCT Enterprises CIC, a community interest company, which performs facilities management services on the estate. The subsidiary generated a loss of £470 for the year and as result was unable to make a donation to the charity this year (2020: generated a profit of £11,029 for the year and as result was able to make a donation of £8,599 to the charity).
Reserves policy
"Reserves" is used to describe that part of a charity's funds that are freely available to fund its general operations and so is not subject to commitments, planned expenditure or other restrictions. Consequently, Reserves do not include endowment funds, restricted funds and designated funds.
The amount of reserves is set at a target level that is a ratio of reserves to annual operating expenditure. The reserves should provide the charity with adequate financial stability and the means for it to meet its charitable objectives for the foreseeable future.
RCT will maintain the charity’s reserves at a level which is at least equivalent to six months operational expenditure and have done so having regards to its manner of operation of likely funding streams.
The trustees review the amount of reserves that are required to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil the charity’s continuing obligations on a quarterly basis at their finance meeting.
The reason(s) why RCT needs six months level of reserves is to pay for unexpected events that could have an adverse effect on RCT ability to function.
RCT intends to establish and then maintain reserves at the amount determined by the trustees by creating a separate deposit account. The target level will be achieved by providing surplus income over a specified period to ensure the target is reached within a reasonable and secure time.
RCT trustees will review the reserves policy every year at the Audit Committee.

FUTURE PLANS AND STRATEGY
The strategy over the next five years is to encourage an active community with an aim to develop services and events that benefit the local community and these will be the following areas of development:
Nimrod Community Centre
The Trust aim to maintain and consistently improve on the infrastructure and services provided at the community centre whilst improving on the local environment to make residents feel more safe and secure.
Community Events
RCT is now in a position to support residents to create new events and groups that will make people feel both a part of the community and help them gain their own self fulfilment.
The Arts and Media Centre
The Trust is in the process of developing a new youth arts and media centre right in the heart of the community. The aim is to redevelop the existing centre making the building and activities for young people sustainable into the future. At the same time the Trust is creating a cultural focus for Gosport involving all forms of art and media. The next few years will see a focus on fundraising whilst we create new opportunities for young people to get involved in creating their own arts and media based activities.
RCT Enterprises CIC
RCT Enterprises CIC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trust and our long term aim is to provide a consistently high quality facilities management service that is accountable to the community. Our unique community first approach to facilities management creates this consistent quality threshold.

Critical accounting judgements
In preparing these financial statements the trustees have made the following judgements: - Determining whether income is restricted or unrestricted. These decisions depend upon the whether the donor has given the income subject to certain terms or conditions which impose a restriction in trust law.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful economic lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values may vary depending on a number of factors. Factors affecting the lives of assets include technological innovation and maintenance programmes.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost.
The land and buildings represent a freehold building gifted to the Trust under a pre-emption deed which is included at the valuation at the date of the gift, together with the cost of a later extension. The combined value is being depreciated over the buildings' estimated economic life at 2% p.a. straight line.
Fittings and equipment are capitalised at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful economic life of the assets concerned at 25% p.a straight line.
