## **Introduction** 

Welcome to the Annual Report and Accounts for what was a year dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic.  Little did we know at the time of last December’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) for 2019/20 held on Zoom that it would be so long before the Government were able to relax the restrictions they introduced to try to restrict the spread of the virus. 

Although most of the restrictions have been relaxed, we are still advised to wear a face covering in enclosed and/or crowded spaces when coming into contact with people you do not normally meet and the number of new daily infections continue at a rate such that the threat of fresh restrictions are seemingly being discussed. 

The Board of Trustees has weighed up the likely scenario as we move into the winter months.  Although many of our groups have resumed face-to-face meetings, some remain more cautious and are yet to come back. To maximise the number of attendees at the meeting, the Board decided, on balance, that it was more appropriate for the 2020/21 AGM to also be held by Zoom conferencing. We hope, as a result, that a bigger proportion of our affiliated user group members will be able to join the meeting.  The credentials for the Zoom meeting will be provided to groups nearer the meeting. 

The big re-building job referred to in last year’s Annual Report and Accounts has, unsurprisingly, yet to really get underway but there are green shoots of hope with increasing numbers of returning groups and a renewed interest in private hire opportunities. 

We can only hope for a better outlook as we move forward. With your continued support the Board is confident we will get there…bigger, brighter, better. 

## **Trustees’ report** 

## **2020/21 highlights** 

Following last year’s AGM, the Board of Trustees re-appointed Bob Treacher and Julian Bartlett as Chair and Vice Chair respectively.  Julia Gale continued in her role as Treasurer. The Board of Trustees met nine times on Zoom between April 2020 and March 2021 as it was essential to keep pace with numerous Government announcements and maintain a close eye on St Mary’s financial position. 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, ‘highlights’ were at a premium!  However, we believe it is important for this review of a difficult year to include details of how we ensured St Mary’s coped with the changing priorities bought about by the pandemic, Government restrictions and the lockdowns.  St Mary’s was of course forced to close between April and September 2020.

We believe we acted in accordance with Government legislation and guidance throughout. We prioritised the changes required to protect our groups, our staff and our volunteers and kept things going for the community to the best of our ability during the different levels of restrictions, but the various lockdowns meant we were simply unable to open our doors to the community for a considerable period of time. However, we kept groups updated through the monthly newsletter. 

Much needed to be done to ensure essential governance and management of change, and establish a safe environment in our buildings for our groups, and so staff could carry out their duties safely. This involved a dedicated team from the Board working with Patrick O’Sullivan and Jan Finlay to identify the changes required. 

Working with leaders of some of our groups and front-line staff, policies and new COVID-19 specific Terms and Conditions were generated. Staff were trained to ensure our service delivery met the requirements of a COVID-19 safe community venue. 

We believe the changing priorities were successfully managed. Indeed, an example was the safe COVID-19 set up at Progress Hall which was recognised by a local medical practice as being an ideal venue to give flu vaccinations. 

The impact of the pandemic was far-reaching. Most groups did not come out for their regular meetings and bookings were cancelled.  Staff were furloughed and did the bare minimum to keep St Mary’s ticking over. 

As restrictions eased, St Mary’s was the first of our buildings to re-open on 1 September 2020 following approval of Risk Assessments which included one way systems, signage inside and out and social distancing markings. Progress Hall, Lionel Road, Anstridge Hall and Flintmill Hall also re-opened in the following weeks.  However, the ‘Christmas is cancelled’ lockdown put St Mary’s out of action again before a further re-opening action plan took us to the end of this review period. 

From a communications and engagement viewpoint, the year in review was frustrating as the new website was delayed by COVID and personal difficulties experienced by the web designer. 

Financially, as can be seen from the accompanying report, St Mary’s achieved a far healthier position for the year despite the challenging situation, mainly due to Government grants. 

## **Plans for 2021/22** 

Our plans for 2021/22 have already been severely disrupted due to the continuing prevalence of the COVID-19 pandemic.  With daily infection cases continuing to rise and talk of a further lockdown, it seems inappropriate to discuss ‘the norm’ as we used to know it.

Although many groups have now returned to face-to-face meetings and others are planning to return in the coming months, there remain a few who are yet to talk to the office team about their plans.  We hope by the time this Annual Report is issued everyone will be back with us and looking forward to their meetings/activities at our buildings. St Mary’s remains proud to provide safe and welcome venues for affiliated local groups who wish to meet in our venues for education, recreation, health and well-being and social welfare purposes. 

Groups will be aware the new website (https://stmarys-eltham.co.uk/) is now live.  We believe it is a huge improvement on the previous site and has led to some new business opportunities, but it is still a ‘work in progress’ as the office team looks to provide more content, including group contact information. We hope the new site will go from strength to strength in the coming months. 

St Mary’s has received two tranches of funding from the Greenwich Neighbourhood Growth Fund (GNGF).  One grant is for the long-awaited refurbishment of the toilets at Progress Hall and Lionel Road Hall.  COVID has played its part in the ongoing delays, but we hope a contractor will be lined up soon. The other is for the installation of wireless networks at our five buildings. An up-to-date position on both these works will be provided at the AGM. 

Groups will be aware St Mary’s teamed up with Royal Greenwich’s Digital Lending Scheme to provide an opportunity to loan one of five tablets for a four-week period with free connection to the Internet. We were pleased to see this initiative and hope the digitally excluded were able to benefit from the three-month trial. 

Plans for a Summer ‘Open Day’ remain on hold, as do plans for an affiliated group Quiz Evening. We are always interested to hear of any other initiatives we might be able to organise in the future. 

St Mary’s will continue to adhere to any further Government guidance to provide a COVID-19 community safe environment for our users for as long as is necessary, and commit to providing the best services possible in our welcoming, affordable and safe community buildings. We remain committed to the Service Delivery Plan agreed with Royal Greenwich Council until 31 March 2023, and will continue to reach out to the community and help reduce isolation and provide support to groups. St Mary’s also aims to attract as many new private hire customers as possible even with the restrictions which continue in place, and hope to remain sustainable as we look to the future. 

St Mary's longstanding membership of The Federation of Greenwich Community Centres will continue to be strengthened for the benefit of our community, with closer working for mutual benefits, the sharing of best practice, ideas and to promote cooperation. 

Although there remains a period of uncertainty through to the end of 2021/22 and possibly beyond, we will continue as a Board to make appropriate decisions in the best interests of St Mary’s Community Centres Association

and look forward to the day we can once again provide our full range of services to all our Affiliated groups. 

Finally, the Board of Trustees express their gratitude for the dedication and hard work of all staff during this most difficult of years, and look forward to your continuing support going forward.

## **Report of the Independent Examiners to the Members St Mary's Eltham Community Centres Association** 

We have examined the financial statements on pages 10 to 20 for the year ended 31 March 2021, which have been prepared under the accounting policies set out on page 14. 

## **Respective responsibilities of the trustees and examiners** 

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 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is our responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 142 of the Charities Act,; 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to our attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiners' report** 

Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. 

## **Independent examiners' statement** 

In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention: 

1. which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements 

- (a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and 

(b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act, have not been met; or 

2. to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The company operates a defined benefit contribution scheme operated by the Royal Borough of Greenwich. Under FRS 102 as this is a multi-employer scheme and it is not possible to identify the share of the underlying assets and liabilities belonging to the charity, the scheme is treated as a defined contribution pension scheme for the purposes of the accounts. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
