Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31st March 2024
The trustees are pleased to present their report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2024.
Legal and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the governing document and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities.
Object of the Charity
To promote, for the benefit of the inhabitants of scawthorpe and bentley north road and the neighbourhood (hereinafter called "the area of benefit") without distinction of race, sexual orientation, sex or of other political, religious or other opinions, by associating together the said inhabitants and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisation in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure-time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants b) to establish, or secure the establishment of, a community centre (hereinafter called the "centre") and to maintain and manage the same (whether alone or in co-operation with any local authority or other person or body) in furtherance of these objects.
Investment Policy
Under the governing document, the charity has the power to make any investments which the trustees see fit. Aside from retaining a prudent amount in our reserves, most of the charity's funds are spent in the short term.
Review of Activities and Financial Information
The trustees note that a surplus has been recorded for the year as a result (in part) of continued investment in the facilities and equipment of the charity.
Reserves Policy
The Management Committee has examined the charity's requirements for reserves, in the light of the main risks to the organisation. The reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirements of the charity. The committee are confident that at the current level they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity, even in the event of a significant drop in funding. The strategy is to build our reserves and the management committee remains optimistic about this. However, the committee is aware of the changing regimes and is realistic in being economically aware that it may prove difficult to achieve this. In the short term a simplistic solution will be to curtail some existing activities and expenditure, should such circumstances arise.
Risk Management
The trustees will seek to review risks and provide a mitigation strategy on an ongoing basis but subject to a formal annual review.

Report of the Trustees - continued For the year ended 31st March 2024
Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the Financial Statements
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the year end. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the Financial Statements
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Financial Review
During the period the charity has met its targets and aims in terms of generating sufficient funds to cover its charitable obligations, operational cost and accrue reserves to support future projects.
On behalf of the Management Committee

Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees of SCAWTHORPE COMMUNITY CENTRE For the year ended 31st March 2024
We report on the accounts of Scawthorpe Community Centre for the year ended 31st March 2024 which are set out on pages 5 to 11.
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 145(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 2011 Act);
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners
-
(under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination 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 to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respects the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and to prepare accounts which accord with accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the method and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31st March 2024
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of accounting
The principal accounting policies which are adopted consistently in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2015 and the Financial Reporting Standard 102 (effective January 2015) and with the Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS 102) (issued in January 2015).
b) Incoming resources
All income resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity. are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts.
Investment income is included when receivable.
Incoming resources from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
C) Resources expended
Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis, inclusive for any VAT which can be recovered.
Allocation of expenditure
Certain expenditure is directly attributable to specific activities and has been included in those cost categories. Certain other costs, which are attributable to more than one activity, are apportioned across categories on the basis of an estimate of the proportion of time spent by staff on those activities.
d) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are included in the balance sheet at cost or at market value at the date of the gift.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the full cost.
