At the company’s Annual General Meeting on 17 July 2024, Sally Pidd resigned as a trustee, effective from that date.
Trustees’ responsibilities
Company and charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the state-of-affairs of the charitable company as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charitable company for that year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then consistently apply them
-
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 company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with all relevant legislation. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

-
Upon the winding up or dissolution of the company any assets remaining, after the satisfaction of all liabilities, shall not be paid to or distributed among the members of the company, but shall be transferred to other charitable institutions having similar objects and which similarly prohibit the distribution of income or property among its members.

The company is permitted by its Memorandum of Association to invest any funds not immediately required for its purposes in any investments, securities or property as may be thought fit, subject to such conditions and consents as may be imposed or required by law. In exercising these powers, the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
Management and financial oversight
The centre’s manager, Deborah Hargreaves, is responsible for the centre’s operations. On the financial side, she is assisted by the treasurer and the secretary. The board of trustees meet at least once a month, with the centre manager in attendance, to monitor activities and to make policy decisions.
REPORT OF THE CHAIR OF TRUSTEES
This has been another good year for the Marsh Community Centre, both financially and through the continued success of our activities. It is not easy running a community centre. But with the combined help of our staff, trustees, and volunteers, we keep managing to do so!
We are particularly grateful to Lancaster City Council for their continued support and to the Tudor Trust and Banks Lyon who have collectively enabled us to employ an additional member of staff to support our work.
Debz and her team continue to work miracles and have hosted several successful community events on top of their normal workloads, and we thank them for their commitment and effort in challenging circumstances.
OBJECTIVES, ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS
Established in 2001 as the Marsh Community Centre Charitable Company, the central objective of our work is to address the needs of local people particularly children and young people living in this deprived ward of Lancaster. Unfortunately, the levels of deprivation have only increased since the centre was formed. We have sought better ways to support adults struggling with poverty, mental health issues and stress. With funding and partnership, we try to provide support for hard-to-reach and vulnerable children and young people. We aspire to achieve the following four objectives:
1. ACTIVITIES
To provide and facilitate activities, advice, information, advocacy and support that improve the quality of life of local people and promote the wellbeing of the community.
2. BUILDING
To run an accessible and safe building that enables us to make a difference.
3
3. COMMUNITY
To engage and consult the local community so that we are responsive to its needs and aspirations.
4. ORGANISATION
To ensure that we are well managed and governed and effective in all that we do.
Activities during the year
The centre has a great atmosphere. We have done lots of things to help the local community. These include the following:
-
We continue to run our unique Open Access where we support members of the community with benefits, housing, food bank referrals, homelessness, mental health, CV’S and advice and guidance. They can access our amenities including our computers, washing machine, tumble dryer and shower and kitchen. We also accompany members to the doctors, job centre and anywhere else they need support. We work closely with probation, the police, homeless centre and the education services. Due to the increase in members, we have employed another member of staff to help with the increase in work.
-
Mental health problems in the Marsh area increased markedly during the pandemic and, two years later, the effects are still being felt. We have helped people to cope with their problems and signposted them to the relevant services. As part of this, we have worked alongside the NHS who have run drop-in sessions at the centre each month designed to take people’s blood pressure and deal with any concerns they may have. These sessions have been attended very well.
-
Our Food Club has been meeting on Thursdays for several years and it continues to be very popular. The club has approximately 40 to 60 families a week participating in the cost of groceries. During the year, we charged £7 for food packages which include bread, eggs and milk. We source our food from Fareshare and Eggcup which is our local food distribution centre. We also collect surplus food from Aldi.
-
The Youth clubs we run have large numbers of attendees and are thriving. We also work closely with other youth groups in the area such as LGABC who support us with staff and activities as part of our membership with them. These youth club meetings are of great benefit to them ait provides them with opportunities to mix with other groups and build good relationships which has been a barrier in previous years.
-
We have our own Boxing coach who is Qualified and registered with the England Boxing Association and he runs sessions on Tuesdays for young people aged 8 plus. It is great for their mental and physical health and continues to be very well attended.
-
We have a Gardening club which cares for our allotment and gardens. This is run by volunteers and is running extremely well. The club is attended by local people who enjoy getting together and being active in the outdoor space we have at the centre. Lots of food has been grown there and is used in the food club we run and in the youth groups to make jam and apple crumble.
-
Our Coffee and Cake group continues to be well attended, with more people joining during the year. These sessions are run by volunteers and are invaluable in bringing
4
together people in the area. They help people with social isolation and mental health problems and to make friendships in a safe place.
-
We have a choir, Marsh Music , that has been running since 2017 and is open to all local people - men and women, old and young, and of all abilities. The choir is run by a local resident together with other volunteers and is very popular with the participants. The numbers fluctuate but generally average about 15 members. The Choir has delivered many performances including, for the second year running, one at The Priory church and one at Williamsons Park.
-
The Friends of The Marsh group , which is chaired by Katie Schad, one of our volunteers, has been successful in attracting funding for the Sycamore play park and we are happy to say the work has finally commenced. The group is expanding, and they have so many great ideas. We are looking forward to seeing what next year brings.
We have had great trips out with young people and families including Gulliver’s World, Blackpool Lights, Splash Park and Jump Rush. We also took a group of young people to attend a a residential course at Brathay which they found incredible, and it opened their eyes to a whole new way of thinking. We have a great community in which people lookout for each other. Crime and anti-social behaviour have dropped, which is a great source of satisfaction to those of us involved with the centre.
All these activities cost money and the centre requires a lot of upkeep. As is explained elsewhere in this annual report, we are very dependent on grants provided by external funding bodies. We do what we can to generate income from other sources, including hiring out the venue to outside organisations. These include Hope Church which runs on a Sunday. Apart from the intrinsic value of these uses of the centre, they provide us with much needed additional income. To this end, we have a website (www.marshcommunitycentre.org) that explains what we do and details how donations can be made.
REPORT OF THE TREASURER
Income and expenditure
Detailed information concerning our charitable spending during the year and the income that made this possible is provided in the financial statements which follow. The key features can be summarised as follows.
Our operating expenditures during the year totalled £143,163 an increase of 9.6% over the previous year. The largest element was wages and salaries (£89,715), an increase of 7.1% over the previous year. Our spending on what we call activity costs, i.e., on our face-to-face activities (£32,474), increased by 36.4% over the previous year, which itself was 39.7% more than in 2021-22. These are continuing welcome financial indicators of the work we do for people in the Marsh area. Our spending on repairs and renewals (£6,235) and capital purchases (£18,199) together represents an increase of more than 50% over the previous year, reflective of the continuing need to maintain and improve our now-ageing facilities.
Funding available to us to support these activities totalled £183,401, an increase of 36.4% over 2022-23, and came from three sources: grants from external funding agencies (£150,817, up 30.5%); donations from individuals and organisations (£13,283, up 158.6%); and other income from a variety of sources (£19,300, more than double that in 2022-23). These
5
figures reveal our continued dependence on support from grant-awarding bodies. The grant amounts we have received from each source are detailed in note 1 to the financial statements. We are particularly indebted to the substantial grants we have received from the National Lottery’s Reaching Communities Fund (£54,131), Tudor Trust (£30,000), and Lancaster City Council (£20,358). Without the support, large and small, of all these grantawarding bodies, we could not function.
As in previous years, the donations we received came from a variety of sources, both large and small, some for specific purposes and others to help us cover general running costs and our activities. Many take the form of regular small donations and others one-off larger amounts. Whatever the amount or frequency they are extremely valuable because they help us build up our reserves in ways that grants do not and cannot and thus help buffer us from shocks to the funding regime.
Reserves policy
Our objective is to maintain a level of free reserves (those not tied up in fixed assets and restricted funds) at a level sufficient to fulfil the company’s continuing obligations. This is always a struggle because of our heavy reliance on grants as our principal source of income. I am therefore pleased to be able to report that our unrestricted funds increased for a second year in a row by £3,827 (£5,493 in 2022-23). A key long-term objective of the Company is to conserve this vital reserve to ensure our continuing solvency, but we accept there will be ups and downs from one year to the next. Moreover, inflation continues to pose great difficulties for charities, including ourselves.
As of 31 March 2024, our unrestricted reserves amounted to £55,046 which equates to nearly five months of our current level of non-capital spending. This is, of course, an extreme worse-case scenario in which all grant income has been consumed and no more income of any kind is being received. In fact, we had £109,821 cash in the bank and in hand at the year-end, an amount £21,967 more than last year and is equal to more than 9 months of current spending. Furthermore, our three-year grant from the National Lottery under their Reaching Communities programme will be sufficient to cover a large portion of our operating costs for next year. As a result, the Trustees remain confident in the continuing financial viability of the Company.

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 respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
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.
