The objectives of the charity are
To further or benefit the residents of Kirk Hallam and the neighbourhood by bringing residents together to work with them
alongside organisations, in the voluntary, charity and statutory sectors with a common purpose of improving the conditions and quality of life for residents in the neighbourhood.
To provide facilities and activities for education, recreation and leisure time and to contribute to improved health and wellbeing of the residents in the area
To establish or secure a community centre and to maintain or manage or cooperate with any statutory authority in the maintenance and management of such a centre for activities promoted by the charity in furtherance of the above objects.
Activities undertaken during the year to support these objectives
The year continued to be challenging with some covid restrictions in place meaning that the centre was not able to fully open until late autumn.
We have been able to maintain the community pantry staying open and it moved into the storage container in the summer of 2021 meaning that items could be left on the shelves rather than having to be cleared away each week.
Once covid restrictions were lifted we were able to reopen the community café in late autumn and have worked hard to re-establish and grow the café within the community providing a much needed resource for local residents, particularly elders and vulnerable members of the community.
We have continued to work with other statutory and voluntary organisations working in the area and have continued to look for grant funding to help keep the centre to remain open and deliver what activities were allowed.
We have had to work to keep the centre covid safe, with risk assessments, signage, hand sanitiser stations and enhanced cleaning routines.
We have kept in contact with regular users of the building during the year and have helped support them in their planned return to the centre. During the period one positive factor has been the number of
people coming forward to volunteer in the activities which we have been able to deliver
Achievements and performance
During the first 6 months the centre was partially open for limited activities. These included the community pantry, youth activities including uniform groups and parent and toddler sessions.
One key activity we were able to provide was a substantial holiday activity fund programme working with partners such as EBC, Derby County Community Trust, Wild bears to deliver 4 weeks of holiday activities both at the centre and in surrounding open spaces complete with breakfast and lunch provided for children accessing the activities. During the period over 1200 children accessed the activities (some of these are repeat numbers)
It was good to be able to deliver holiday activity sessions in a face to face environment once again and re-establish relationships with families in the area. Cooking activities continue to be popular with the young people
The community pantry continued to be a much needed resource for local residents who were struggling financially as well as providing a social lifeline and having a positive impact on mental health as the impact of covid continued.
We remained fully uptodate with government legislation and guidance about which activities were allowed.
The autumn saw us being able to fully open meaning the Lets Sing activity was able to restart and the community café reopen.
We had a very successful Christmas fair with over 80 children able to meet Santa for free.
We established a new group which emerged from a need identified through discussions with local residents. The group was bumps to babies and is a support group for soon to be or new parents. The group has taken some time to get established but numbers are increasing.
We spent the rest of the year supporting existing groups to grow and encouraging local people, particularly elderly people to venture back out.
As always we would like to thank the volunteers who have given their help advice and support during this difficult year. We would not be able to operate without you.
Finances

Kirk Hallam Community Centre
Independent examination of accounts 2021 - 2022
Examination completed 22nd December 2022
Attended by:
Rachel Chambers Jsan Shepherd
Confirmed that the charity is within the audit threshold and is eligible for an independent examination. The charities gross income is below £250,000 therefore the accounts have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis.
I reviewed all the account’s files, including statements, cross referencing approximately 20 transactions for both debit and credit. All transactions were supported by relevant documentation and recorded accordingly in the computerised accounts. These transactions are marked in green on the statement.
Discussed ideas on how to further improve and simplify recording of transactions while keeping administration time down. Advised small changes to the receipts and expenditure spreadsheets; along with the use of Excel functions such as filters and pivots to help quickly extract information. Recording of restricted grants also discussed, looking at ways of keeping administrative time down while continuing to maintain complete expenditure breakdown as required.
Improvements made from last year’s review. A multi-layer expenses authorisation process for all expenses has been implemented. Missing documents supporting receipts is being obtained and Sum Up reports are being regularly checked and reconciled.
Confirmed that a monthly review is completed independently, with monthly figures reported to the trustees. Evidence of the monthly reviews noted.
I am not aware of any connection between any of the trustee and myself and that I am not involved in the day to day administration of the charity.
