## Report of the Trustees 

for the Year Ended 31 January 2024 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities** 

Challenges 

This report reflects the operation of the Association in 2023/24 - a year of consolidation and conversely, a period of significant change. The cost of living crisis has continued unabated, the UK and World economies remain uncertain and millions of households continue to feel under immense pressure managing their household budgets. 

2022/23 saw trustees and staff focusing on delivering an affordable and accessible set of services reviving and supporting hirers' use of the Centre post-Pandemic - alongside continuing to provide and grow community benefit initiatives. 2023/24 saw trustees and staff consolidate operational gains made in the previous year and deliver more and different Community Benefit initiatives - balancing the different and sometimes competing needs of these different stakeholder groups in a year of significant changes within both trustee and Staff groups. 

The number and range of activities held at the Centre - private hire, groups and societies and for Community Benefit have grown and become increasingly diverse - supporting the Centre's aim to benefit individuals from Wickham and the wider area without distinction, and attracting new centre users. 

## Performance 

Overall - Centre hire booking income was up over 20% on 22/23 and the type and number of private hire booking and community events both saw a significant increase. The administration team saw the appointment of a replacement Operations Manager and new Administration Assistant and feedback on customer service has been very positive. 

Internal processes and systems have been overhauled to support the daily operation of the Centre and the newly implemented financial and booking systems have bedded in allowing staff and management to focus on managing the building, customer service and fund raising - consolidating and improving wherever possible. 

## Finance 

The Centre cannot survive on bookings income alone despite the increase in turnover - costs have also continued to increase at an alarming rate. In 23/24 the Association was successful in acquiring a number of funding awards for specific Community Benefit initiatives but only one for a capital project -the funding from the Community Infrastructure Levy for the renovation of the Long Room. Restricted grants such as this one are essential if the Centre is to continue a programme of significant works within the ageing building. 

Furthermore, Restricted Grants are essential for WCA to continue to provide Community Benefit projects which are otherwise unaffordable - the Pantry is a clear example of a successful Community Benefit project which has real and measurable benefits but must be funded from external donations and awards. 

Without the awards received in 23/24 the Centre would be showing a significant loss with operating expenses exceeding income by some twenty four thousand pounds. Centre trustees and staff are very aware of this and will continue to apply for grants and maximise donations whenever possible. 

## Trustees and Management 

The composition of the Board of Trustees has changed significantly in 23/24, and recent recruitment initiatives should mean numbers increase. The current Board of Trustees firmly believe that a higher number of diverse individuals, each bringing their own particular skills and life experiences, will benefit the Association best. Social and economic pressures remain very high in the UK and the demand for volunteers is high throughout the voluntary sector at a time when - it is widely agreed - volunteer numbers have still not recovered from the sharp post-Pandemic decrease. The trustees will continue to actively attract and appoint both trustees and volunteers.

## Report of the Trustees 

## for the Year Ended 31 January 2024 

Kat Short continued as Chair for the duration of 23/24, Ginny Smith was replaced as Treasurer by Neale Turner in November 23. Resignations in the year included Steve Smith, Katie Mattingly and Sally Humphries. Alison Neasom and Robert Barnett joined as trustees in August and November 23 respectively. Ben Warwick continued as a trustee throughout 23/24. 

At the end of the financial year there were five trustees. Monthly meetings were held during the year, alternately hosted on Zoom and in person. 

The management of the Centre has continued under Kate English and staff changes mean her team now comprises the Operations Manager, an Administration Assistant and the Pantry Co-ordinator, supported by three caretakers. This employee cohort was fully staffed at 31 January 24. 

## Building Improvements 

Building maintenance remains a high priority - the roof continues to leak and running repairs are not an effective long -term strategy. After quotes were sought for its replacement, a formal bid was submitted to the National Lottery for grant aid to replace the roof at a cost of more than £250,000. Unfortunately, the Association's bid was rejected because of a legal technicality - but with advice to re-submit once this issue has been resolved. The resolution of this matter is underway and trustee's were encouraged by the reception the bid received and will definitely reapply. 

In other works, the renovation of the Long Room has been completed - with the installation of a new suspended ceiling, new flooring and electrical improvements. Approximately 80% of this work was funded by Winchester City Council through the Community Infrastructure Levy.  The remainder was funded from WCA's own funds 

. 

## Community Benefit 

The Wickham Panty and Community Fridge have continued to provide support to local people - in 23/24 the Pantry supported an average of 65 families per week. It continued to be funded from a variety of sources including Government initiatives, food waste reduction organisations, local donors, and individuals. The Warm Room also continued. Social Suppers has been a new and well-received initiative - providing free hot meals - with pudding! - to anyone - adults and/or children - who wish to attend - 910 meals have been provided in 23/24. 

The monthly Lunch Club for the over 55's has continued throughout the year and Wickham Flicks continued to screen a film each month. 

The Community Garden has continued to develop and has incorporated the Social Prescribing initiative in 23/24 - providing a community activity that benefits individuals in a non-clinical setting. This has been very well received by participants and also by the Community Garden team of volunteers. The garden has been supported in completing various hard landscaping initiatives by the newly formed Wickham Men's Shed. 

Thanks to awards from Winchester City Council and Hampshire County Council, amongst others, a number of new projects and events took place in 23/24 including the Creative Feast, Pumpkin and Easter parties and various other community events. The Meon Valley Food Bank continues to have its permanent base in the Centre as does Homestart Hampshire and from 1 December 2023 the Winchester Citizen's Advice Bureau has a permanent Wickham Hub located at the Centre. 

Many Community Benefit projects depend on the help and support of volunteers, so recruiting and retaining volunteers will continue to be strategically important in the coming year if current and future Community Benefit projects are to be delivered. 

The trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. 

## Conclusion 

Page 4 



Wickham Community Association 

## Report of the Trustees 

## for the Year Ended 31 January 2024 

The Association continues to deliver an ambitious programme in complex economic times and must focus on its priorities to succeed. Building maintenance is a significant priority, especially but not exclusively, the roof replacement project. Funding is also a significant priority - whilst the Association aims to be self-reliant operationally, it must continue to source and receive funding for Community Benefit and capital expenditure projects. The Association values and appreciates everyone that uses and contributes to the Centre - and people must be the Association's other main priority in 23/24 - attracting, recruiting and retaining volunteers, trustees and Centre users. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

In the year under review the charity made a surplus of £8,244 (2023 £55,782) which increased reserves. The charity now holds reserves of £684,966 (2023 £676,722) which include free reserves (excluding fixed assets used for charitable purposes and restricted funds) of £114,177 (2023 £125,033). 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Association's reserve policy is to hold sufficient liquid unrestricted reserves to enable it to: 

- Withstand unforeseen financial setback. 

- Cover staff redundancy and other closure costs should the Association have to close the centre. 

- To provide working capital where funding is paid in arrears. 

- To take advantage of opportunities which the trustees consider will benefit the charity and the community it serves. 

The reserves policy is reviewed annually.  For the year 2023-24 it was £70,000 (2023 £70,000). 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

Wickham Community Association is a charitable company limited by guarantee. Its objects, powers and other constitutional matters are set out in its most recent Memorandum and Articles of Association, approved by the members on 17 July 2016, 

Its objects are to promote the benefits and improve the conditions of life for the inhabitants of Wickham and district by: 

- Provision of facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and leisure time activities; 

- Establishment, maintenance and management of a centre for community activities. 

In the attainment of the above objects the charity shall be non-party in politics and non-sectarian in religion. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

Governance and management are enhanced when there is a multi-faceted Board of Trustees. There is no declared Board size but the preferred balance is 12 to 15 members. At the end of the financial year there were five members. Increasing trustee numbers remains an absolute priority and will be achieved through a variety of means including reaching out through social media channels. Elections are held annually having regard to the Charity Commission's guidance CC30 "Finding New Trustees". Provision is made for co-option during the year. 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. 

Approved by order of the board of trustees on ............................................. and signed on its behalf by:

## Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Wickham Community Association 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Wickham Community Association ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 January 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Wickham Community Association 

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 January 2024 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Income from room hire, events and activities is recognised in the accounting period in which the relevant activity occurs and is deferred to the extent to which it relates to activities which will take place in future accounting periods. 

Income from grants is recognised when the charity has received written confirmation of the offer of funding or when any conditions relating to the grant have been met. 

Income from donations is recognised when it is received. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Freehold property - 2% on cost Plant and machinery - 20% on reducing balance Fixtures and fittings - 33% on cost 

Tangible fixed assets other than freehold land are stated at cost less depreciation and provisions for permanent diminution in value. Items costing over £1,000 (previously £250) are capitalised when they have an estimated useful life of more than one year. 

## **Stocks** 

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
