## **Structure, Governance and Management**

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 19 April 2001 and registered as a charity on 11 February 2002. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles are known as directors of the charity. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, there must be a minimum of nine trustees. The trustees must consist of not less than five representatives from the management committee of the Guru Nanak Gurdwara, High Street, Smethwick and not less than four members of the charity, elected at the annual general meeting, three of whom shall be young people representatives (at least 1 being female and 1 between the age of 18 and 25) and one elderly user. One third of the longest serving trustees are subject to retirement by rotation at the annual general meeting. 

Some of the trustees are expected to retire at the next Annual General Meeting by Rotation and offer themselves for re�election. 

New trustees will be appointed, if the number of remaining trustees is less than the required minimum under the Articles of Association. 

## **Public Benefit** 

We have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. 

## **Risk Management** 

The trustees confirm that the major risks to which the charity is exposed have been reviewed and systems have been established to minimise those risks. The trustees have implemented a risk management strategy which comprise: 

- an annual review of the risks which charity may face

**Smethwick Youth & Community Centre Limited A Company Limited by Guarantee** 

## **Report of The Directors of The Charity (Continued) Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

## **Organisational Structure** 

The centre has nine trustees who meet quarterly to consider the strategic direction and performance of the charity. The trustees work under the stewardship of Humraaj Singh Shergill as Chairperson to ensure the charity maintains its strategic direction and is managed in a professional manner. 

The management team present the trustees at the meeting with strategic planning reports, such as financial reviews, project feedback reports, schedule of planned activities for the future and any other issues which require the attention of the trustees. 

## **Related Parties** 

The charity has been set up under the leadership of Guru Nanak Gurdwara (GNG) High Street, Smethwick with particular emphasis on serving and supporting the whole community of Sandwell and Smethwick. It is a requirement of the Articles of Association that trustees’ positions are reserved for the President and the General Secretary and three other members of the management committee of the GNG. There is no doubt that the charity benefits immensely from the inspirational support and voluntary leadership provided by the members of the GNG. 

## **SYCC Mission, Vision and Aims & Objectives Mission Statement** 

To develop a multi�agency and cross sector resource centre particularly for the Sikh�Punjabi community in Smethwick 

That provides a one�stop solution to 

- **REDUCE** social deprivation & exclusion, low levels of skills, social isolation, crime and drug misuse, 

- **RAISE** educational standards; 

- **IMPROVE** health, employment opportunities, household incomes and, 

- **SUPPORT** SME business regeneration and diversification pathways leading to vibrant community regeneration and strengthening of the local neighbourhood 

## **SYCC's Vision** 

Incorporate a holistic approach to a multiagency facility in the heart of Smethwick Town Centre (High Street) that will enable it to deliver services and provide access to resources across communities and across disciplines 

Bridge the skills divide between the local communities and provide a supporting pathway that develops user confidence and promotes access of mainstream provision. 

## **SYCC'S Aims & Objectives** 

SYCC's mission as explained above is to foster and support the development of individuals, groups and organisations within the Sikh Punjabi community, in particular, tenants living in or around Smethwick Whilst it will provide its services for all local people and has an open door, non� judgemental policy, it will have as its ultimate aim to address the needs of the Sikh Punjabi community 

This community is an ethnic group that has often been left behind in terms of employment and educational opportunities, affordable quality housing, access to health and social services, as well as a lack of specific voluntary support structures, strategic� representation and political influence.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Transactions and Financial Position** 

A summary statement of financial activities for the year is shown on page 13 of the accounts. This shows that during the year, total income of £373,937 was received and after expenditure a net deficit of £19,247 was debited to reserves. The deficit includes a charge of £61,236 which represents current 12 months of depreciation on the leasehold property. The trustees have changed the accounting policy on depreciation as it is felt this is more likely to give a true and fair view. 

## **Reserves policy and funds in deficit** 

It is the policy of the trustees to maintain six months’ running costs. The reserves at 31 March 2021 totaled £482,490, however cash held only amounted to £289,235. 

There are a number of funds in deficit, including the building works fund and nursery fund. The trustees are in the process of reviewing and rationalizing the funds. 

## **Principal Funding Resources** 

The principal funding resources during the year were GNG Welfare Fees, Baron, Edwards, DWP, HPCL_Employments, Worker education, Consortium, Midshire, Steps, NEF, ELT, Booking, PAYP, STP, UK Online and Sports. 

## **Investment Policy and Returns** 

Under the memorandum articles of association, the charity has the power to make any investment, which the trustees see fit. 

The investment policy has been to choose the best deposit account available that will give high interest for the organisation and also to choose the most flexible current account for efficiency in daily transactions. 

It is the policy of the trustees to maintain six months running costs sufficient to ensure that continued operation of the charitable company's activities. The organisation wishes to maintain sufficient cash flow for known commitments. 

## **SYCC Strategic Direction** 

**Performance –** Even in this difficult economic climate, SYCC will continue to maintain its high level of performance and quality of its service delivery.

**Processes** – Through reviewing all processes SYCC will maintain its level of quality delivery, this will ensure SYCC retain the MATRIX quality standard. 

**People** – The essence of SYCC is our people, those being staff and the clients. We will strive to invest in our people; at a strategic level this includes investment in senior management and training for trustees. At an operational this involves equipping staff with the tools to meet their full potential.

## **Employability:** 

- CV’s 

- Job search 

- Basic Computing through UKOnline Centres 

Employability opportunities received through SYCC enables clients to enhance their employability chances. We create unemployed clients a CV which will allow them to apply to jobs; providing a steady income and reducing poverty. Moreover, the centre provides support on searching and applying for jobs online. 

## **Learning:** 

- English classes 

- Basic Computing 

- Youth Club 

- Nursery 

Gaining a higher level of education will allow the individual to become more employable as they have extended their skills and knowledge. More career opportunities will be available. Furthermore, adults can help their children with homework which they perhaps cannot provide support for at the moment. The Youth Club provides afterschool activities which encourages the young individuals to interact with one�another and socialise. Many of these young people may not be able to socialise with each other at school in this way. The basic computing provides both learning and enhancing employability; as many jobs require I.T. skills. Finally, with SYCC’s new nursery opening, we wish to provide young children with the right steps in their learning pathway. We hope to provide them with opportunities that they may not receive elsewhere. With the high waiting lists in the area to get a child into a nursery, we feel that this opportunity will reduce the wait and raise the chances of a child starting within the applicable year. 

## **Poverty Reduction:** 

Over 30% of Sandwell's 309,000 populations live in relative poverty. This includes 32% of children under 18 and increasing numbers of children and adults with health and disability needs. Our welfare advisor provides assistance with welfare problems which people living in the local community face within their life. 

Together with the combination of Health, Employability & Learning – SYCC will contribute towards Poverty Reduction within the local area.

With improved Health, one can strive to become employed and reach their personal and career goals. It will help them to manage their time and reduce stress and depression. Physical exercise will clear their mind and stop them from sinking into an unhealthy lifestyle. The new skills and knowledge obtained from learning will contribute toward employability; as one will be able to use what they have learnt in practise.

## **Responsibilities of The Directors of The Charity** 

The directors of the charity are responsible for preparing the Report of the directors of the charity and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

Company law requires the directors of the charity to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for that period. 

In preparing these financial statements, the directors of the charity are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently, 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The directors of the charity are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with Companies Act 2006. The directors of the charity 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 

In so far as the directors of the charity are aware 

- there is no relevant audit information of which the charity's auditors are unaware, and 

- the directors of the charity have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. 

This report has been prepared having taken advantage of the small companies’ exemption in the Companies Act 2006.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the members of Smethwick Youth & Community Centre Limited.** 

## **Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages 13 to 24. 

## **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 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.  It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- state whether particular matters have come to my 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 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 and with the methods and principles of the statement of recommended practice; accounting and reporting by charities have not been met; or

The leasehold property comprises land and buildings. The land was leased from Guru Nanak Gurdwara (GNG) Smethwick, for a term of ten years until 5th April 2013. No depreciation was charged until 31 March 2013, on the grounds that the lease would be renewed for the foreseeable future. The trustees now feel that it is more prudent to depreciate the property, and this has been charged on the basis that the original lease was intended to run for twenty years. Thus the property is now shown at cost less 18 years’ depreciation. 

The trustees had and will continue to allow Smethwick Youth & Community Centre to use the premises for charitable purpose for foreseeable future until being informed otherwise.
