TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Achievement and performance
Charitable activities
Since the start of the pandemic, we have been working tirelessly helping our community people. 2020-2021 was a very challenging year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It had a drastic effect on people's lives and our community centre. The pandemic caused unforeseen challenges, difficulties and loss of many. Our centre which helps people to come together, engage, connect, socialise, share, had to change the way how we delivered our activities. Due to Covid-19 restrictions most of our activities could not take place in the centre during the year. We rose to the challenge and saw new opportunities to deliver and develop our activities in a different way. We quickly adapted our activities from in-centre to remote provision, both by zoom and telephone, to offer as many activities, support and information as possible.
Our zoom classes included Zumba, Yoga, happiness, mindfulness, art and craft for children, mehendi classes, cooking, baking, dance, etc. Additionally, we provided telephone support, information to our users, outreach support, advice and referral to other services for the families with complex and layered needs. Our Well-being Project focused on issues of self-esteem through the use of creative writing, self-compassion and looking after ourselves etc and many group members reported an increase in self-confidence. Sessions on self-esteem, motivation, sleep problems, relaxation, music, assertiveness, anxiety, mindfulness, and the discussions that accompanied them, all led to useful exchanges of information and strategies that people found helpful. Sharing ways to manage these health issues and approaches for improving mental wellbeing were crucial.
We have been working hard during the lockdown period to distribute food and emergency food parcels to residents who are either shielding or self-isolating in the local area. Due to community needs we had to start a food bank to the most vulnerable and elderly people in our community. We have provided food parcels and hot meals to more than 2500 families during the pandemic. The stories of hardship, both socially and financially, have been difficult to hear but the amount of good will and kindness we have also witnessed is heartening. It has brought communities together in ways that will see long lasting benefits once all of this has passed. All this was only possible with the support of the volunteers who have truly dedicated their time to the vital support work that has been done in the last months.
We will continue to look for funding to continue this support for the duration of the pandemic and beyond when the effects will become clearer in our communities. The outpouring of community support, cohesion and resilience of our community has given the year a hope that many of us needed and are incredibly proud of as a community organisation. We have worked with the wellbeing support workers, social workers, CPN, and family support workers to help the changing needs of the individuals they support.
As a result of this work, our strategic relationships with local partners, statutory organisations, local councillors and the local community have improved immensely. Our skills and innovation have also been recognised and applauded and this work puts us in a very strong position in the coming year to investigate further the needs of our communities and gain evidence of what is required of us as neighbourhoods are able to return to normal.
Wesley Hall Community Centre Pre-school, in common with other nursery settings, has been through a difficult year with the coronavirus pandemic affecting us in many different aspects, from having fewer children attending our setting to putting in place robust cleaning and hygiene practices, risk assessments to ensure the risks of the virus spreading were and still are minimised and putting other safety measures in place.
The Pre-school continues to provide funded early education nursery grants for two, three and four year old children. We support a growing number of children who speak English as an additional language and offer places for children with Special Educational Needs and/or disabilities.
Our aims continue to be able to bring the local children together in our safe stimulating learning environment so the children can enjoy a wide range of learning experiences.
0ur Key person system and warm family atmosphere has helped us to ensure that the children settled well and built strong positive relationships with each other and the staff which helped the children feel safe and secure. They have enjoyed a good balance of adult-initiated and child-led activities and are also able to independently access a variety of resources.
We aim to offer the children a good level of individual support by us having students on placement throughout the year from various colleges and schools. The students are given a thorough induction to make this process a success.
The staff team assess children's progress regularly, for us to identify any gaps in their learning. We plan each child's next steps in learning, using their observations, assessments, and information from parents/careers.
As a result, the children are well prepared for their next stages in their learning.

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Financial review
Result for the year
The Centre managed well financially during this challenging period of Covid-19 restrictions. Although we lost all Centre-based rental income, we were very successful in securing covid support grants and project funding to enable us to continually adapt and expand our programme of activities to meet identified need and outcomes.
An overall surplus of £35,681 was achieved during the year (2020 - deficit of £20,142).
Reserves policy
Restricted Funds
The balance of £14,886 remaining on Restricted Funds as at 31 March 2021 represents the net book value of fixed assets purchased with these funds together with any unexpended amounts.
Unrestricted Funds
The balance of £167,385 in respect of Unrestricted Funds represents the amounts retained from past activities. The balance is accumulated so as to be available for use when circumstances require. It is anticipated that we will want to invest in our organisation dynamically to move it into a stronger culture.
Future developments
We are planning to focus on more educational activities for the local community, empowering them to develop new skills. We are also aiming to make the local community aware of health and wellbeing by providing more physical and nutritional activities,to ensure that community facilities are accessible and well-related to the locality and to ensure that our timings enable maximum flexibility for the use by our community groups. We are encouraging residents and community groups to give their views and opinions on the development of the centre. We are applying for funding to support the running costs and also to introduce new activities in the centre.
The Day Centre will continue to run and finance itself through individual payments from the members. The Centre is also looking for funding sources to bridge the gap between actual income and the running costs for the next 12 months and staff will be doing outreach work to recruit new referrals.

The Board of Trustees meet at least 6 times a year to despatch the business of Wesley Hall Community Centre.
Decisions are made on the basis of a majority of votes. The quorum for decision-making is 7. The Chair of Trustees presides at all meetings. Accurate records of meetings are kept and are open for inspection by any person authorised by the company to do so. The Trustees delegate their powers to sub-committees as necessary.
The Board complies with their obligations under the Charities Act 2011 to provide an annual Report and Audited Accounts. The Board delegates the day to day responsibilities of running the Charity to the Centre Managers who report to the Board. The Trustees have delegated to the Management Team authority to manage finances, recruitment and employment of staff, the protection of children and vulnerable adults, the responsibilities expected by Ofsted for the welfare and education of children, the Health and Safety of all staff and service users and the timely and accurate dissemination of information to appropriate persons.
Induction and training of new trustees
New Trustees receive an induction, which involves them learning about their responsibilities according to the Memorandum and Articles of Association and their legal obligations according to charity and company law. They are introduced to the decision-making and information sharing processes. They receive the latest financial accounts and the business plan. They receive reports of the organisation for the previous year. They are introduced to the Chair of Trustees and Centre Managers.
Risk management
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems, policies and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Risk management comprises regular reports to the Board of Trustees, alerting them to specific issues that may become problematic if not correctly managed.
Risks are identified by Centre managers through these channels:
-
Weekly staff meetings to identify day-to-day risks and the review of the management of difficulties in the preceding week.
-
The use of risk assessment check lists which remind staff of their responsibilities when arranging activities that may have risk factors associated such as trips out of the building by children or vulnerable adults.
-
The development and amendment of policies, which will reflect the changing circumstances the charity is exposed to as they occur.
All areas of the Wesley Hall Community Centre had to be risk assessed for Covid-19 and measures were put into places for the safety of the service users.
- The annual review of policies.
The heating system was replaced with new pipework and some radiators but future priorities are repairs to the roof elevations.
Trustees' responsibility statement
The trustees (who are also the directors of Wesley Hall Community Centre Ltd for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF WESLEY HALL COMMUNITY CENTRE LTD
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Wesley Hall Community Centre Ltd (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
-
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the trustees Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
the charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
7
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF WESLEY HALL COMMUNITY CENTRE LTD
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, including how fraud may occur by inquiring of management of its own consideration of fraud. In particular, we looked at where management made subjective judgements, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. We also considered potential financial or other pressures, opportunity and motivations for fraud. As part of this discussion we identified the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations and how management monitor these processes. Appropriate procedures included the review and testing of manual journals and key estimates and judgements made by management.
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the Charity and the sector in which it operates, drawing on our broad experience, and considered the risk of acts by the Charity that were contrary to these laws and regulations, including fraud.
We focused on laws and regulations that could give rise to material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Charities Act 2011and the Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016. We made enquiries of management with regard to compliance with these laws and regulations and corroborated any necessary evidence to relevant information.
Our tests included agreeing the financial statements disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and enquiries with management.
We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud. As in all our audits we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls including testing journals and evaluation whether there was evidence of bias by the Trustees that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.
