The IM￿rtant services of our full-time Clinics continue, as do our efforts to pronK)te and e￿O￿Tage small

The Deepings Community Trust Ltd
Trustees, Report
The filla￿la1 position of the Deepings Community Trnst ren￿InS strong and stable, despite the infiation in the
costs of employmenL the cost of materials, and services. notsbly energy. Our Finance Director. keeps an ¢agl¢
eye on thc energy market, and has kept us on the best laTiffs thal she can find. This monitoring is v¢ry imponanL
as we have to avoid runni￿ at a loss, but we will try to keep our hire ￿trs, as they are now, competitive with
the other hirable spaces in the a￿a. Our energy rating has been improved by the recent inst2llation of a new
boiler.
The Board of Directors continue to ensure that th¢ faciliti¢s and building standards of the Community Centr¢
and the Library are maintained and improved. in conjunction wilh the Leascholders. Negotiation over the early
renewal of the leas¢ on the Community Centre have been in prOg￿5S over th¢ past two-and-a-haif years. The
draft of th¢ lease is now wilh our solicitors. The lease will N)t be signeAI until they are satisfied that it is in
line with our negotiated P)sitiO￿ and it is approved by the Board. Early renewal was sought in order to
incorporate the former SKDC oifice area, and give confidence of continuity. ASsu￿d security of tenure will
give the Trust confidence to shoulder som¢ of the subsiantial and necessary capital eX￿ndIture, and will lluke it
more likely that we will be able to obtain ext¢llwl funding io assist in this. For this re&8on we need lo maintain
and protect our existing reserves.
The Deepings Community Trnst provides a variety of services and benefits to the Deepings Community. The
Centre and Library are staffed almost ¢ntir¢ly by l]ardworking voluntee￿, without whotn the DCT would not
surviv¢. We thank all our staff, volunteers. and helpers, for their seryice and support. The level of volunte¢ring
at the Library is cU￿entlY satisfaciory, but the level at the Centre has been badly affected by ill-health. The sad
death of one of our longest se￿Ing volunteers in January was a big blow to us all at the Centre. and left a large
hole in the bookings administration systenL We aTC very grateful to the team of Trmaining volunteers, WIM) have
taken over the booking system

Use of volunteers
Overall management of the charlty is the responsibility of the trnstees who are elected and Co-opt￿ urKkr the
tern￿ of the rnemorandum 2nd articles of association but day to day project activity is carried out by and
SUpe￿Ised by voluntee￿. The Board of Diffctors Tecognises that the success of the Trust de￿ndS entirely on
the commitment of the volunteers who work in the centre and the library. The volunteers are supported by five
staff members. The Board would like to express its continued gratithde to all, volunteers and the paid staff,
whose ongoing contribution is also most appreciated.

Structur& governance and management
Financial instrnment$
Objectives andpolicies
The charity's activities cxpose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk. cash floiv risk and liquidity
risk. The use of fmancial derivatil'es is governed by the cljarity's policies approved by the board of iNstees.
which provide written principles on lh¢ use of financial derivatives to manage these risks. Thc charity does not
use derivative fmanciai irLsiNments for speculative pury)ses.
C4yhJ7ow risk
Interest bearing assets and liabilities where ￿ld are at fixed rate to ¢nsur¢ certainty of cash flows.
Credit risk
The cEwity'S principal fjnancial assets are bank balances and casty trade and other ffceivables, and investments.
Th¢ C1￿]ty'S credit risk is primarily attributable lo its trade ￿e11'ables. The arnol￿ts presented in the balance
sheet rrt of allowances for doubtful receivables. An allowance for impainnent is n]ad¢ wher¢ there is an
ideiitified loss event whiclL based on previous Cxperie￿¢, is evide￿e of a reduction in the recov¢rability of the
cash flows.
The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative fuwicial ilLStruments is limlfrd becaus¢ the Counterparties are
banks with high ¢redit-fdtings assigned by international ¢r¢dAt-rating agcncies.
The cE4rity has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of
ount¢rparties and customers.

The charity uses derivative financial instnjrnents to r￿ll¢¢ exposure lo foreign exchange risk and Inte￿St rnte
movements. Th¢ charity docs noi Ix)Id or issue derivative fmancial iA8truments for speculative purwses.
Derivatives are initially recognis¢d at fair value at date a derivative contract is entered into and are
subsequently rcmeasured to their fair value at each rewrting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in
statement of financial activities immediately unless th¢ d¢rivative is designated and effective as a hedging
instrnmenL in which event the timing of the recognition in statement of financial activities depends on I
ture of the hedge relat10￿hlp.
Fair v(thie measurement
The best cvidence of fair value is 2 quoted price for an identical asset An an active market. When quoted prices
are unavailable. price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides ￿idence of fair value as long &$
ther¢ bas not been a significant change in econornic circumstances or a SA￿lfIcant lapse of time since the
transaction look place. If the mthet is not activ¢ and recent transactio￿$ of an identical asset on their own are
not a good estimate of fair value, tIK fair value is estimated by using a valuation techniqu¢.
