## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2021**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the company for the 1 May 2020 to 30 April 2021. The Annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Since the company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
## **Objectives and activities**
## **a. Policies and objectives**
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
## **Achievements and performance**
## **a. Review of activities**
The objectives of the charity are to provide facilities and services in the interests of social welfare in order to improve the conditions of life of the inhabitants of Haywards Heath, West Sussex and the surrounding area, without distinction of gender, sexual orientation, disability or of political, religious or other opinions.
As we emerge from the Covid 19 pandemic, the Centre reopened for hiring in accordance with the various restrictions imposed by national Government. As mentioned last year a grant of £10k was received from Mid Sussex District Council, as part of the support arrangements put in place by our national Government, at the start of the Pandemic. We gratefully received further support in January 2021 by way of an Additional Restrictions Grant from MSDC - £4,000. In March Sussex Community Foundations Grant towards running costs - £4,000, in April 2021 Discretionary Restrictions Grant from MSDC for Nov/Dec lockdown - £1,334 and in April 2021 a further £8,097 Business Support Package from MSDC for the most recent lockdown. We also claimed part-time furlough grants from HMRC for staff during the year.
When possible, Trustees met in person, otherwise continued communication to ensure the centre was open when allowed and comply with the various Covid restrictions and ensure the Centre was a safe place for people to gather.
Although a difficult year due to the pandemic the Centre continues to be a focal point for the community, with varied activities serving a wide range of users. Lettings for the Centre have continued to increase with most regular groups returning, occasional bookings and commercial bookings continue to provide a valuable source of income as well as providing services in the heart of the community. Although there is some available space for lettings at the Centre, much of the time it is being used to full capacity. This is partially the result of favorable comments from users and many recommending the Centre to other groups, friends and family and partially due to networking by the Centre Manager and communication tools, such as the website and social media. The Centre publicises its activities and local events on its notice boards, as well as information regarding support for those with health, financial and social difficulties. It has established links with local councils and voluntary bodies. Whilst the wide-ranging use of facilities meets many of our original aims, the board still remain keen to outreach further to the community.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2021**
## **Achievements and performance (continued)**
Due to restrictions we were unable to host our annual open day, the Board are looking forward to this increasingly popular event being held again.
Our regular Cinema shows were unable to be provided during the year. Popularity had been steadily increasing, and the Board are planning to reopen the Cinema as soon as possible. The Board considers these events as an investment into the community and recognises the need to reach out to those who would otherwise be unable to attend the cinema. The Board are considering a capital investment to install our own equipment in the Centre to reduce the cost running cost of these events, and allow this to be a more regular fixture in our calendar.
The Centre Café was unable to re-open during the year. However, the Trustees and volunteers are eagerly planning for the café to open during the Summer.
Our pre School continues to thrive, and has soon become an essential part of Centre and community life. Numbers attending continue to increase and a Committee of Parents, Staff and Trustees is being established to assist its management. Mrs. Eva Simms and her team have ensured the that our youngest members of the community have enjoyed a safe and informative place to continue their development.
The Management Committee carries out its duties in an effective and professional manner. It provides regular reports to the Trustees to enable the Board to meet its responsibilities. As well as overseeing the daily management of the Centre, the Committee closely monitors income and costs. Kevin Martin is Chairman of the Management Committee and continues to involve the Centre users and local community in the work of his committee. Mrs. Sue Neatherway is the Centre Manager and they ensure that the Chair of the Board is informed of any potential urgent issues and seek his advice if required. The Chairman of the Board also attends the management meetings. Thanks continue to be due to the Centre Manager for her dedicated work and the help and assistance she provides to the Chairman of the Board. Kevin Martin has ensured the Centre has complied with Covid restrictions; the Chairman of the Board expresses thanks to Kevin for this additional workload he has carried out so conscientiously.
The company, working with the Management Committee, has continued to review its policies and is satisfied that the policies meet the needs of the Centre, its staff, volunteers and users. Copies of the Centre’s policies are available from the company’s offices.
The Centre ensures that maintenance and testing of equipment is carried out regularly and has contracts in place to ensure that health and safety and duty of care requirements are met to a high standard. The fund for larger scale maintenance continues to increase to enable the Centre to undertake any necessary work in the future.
## **Financial review**
## **a. Going concern**
The use of the Centre continues to grow and the trustees are confident of the future viability of the Centre. The Trustees, therefore, continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
## **b. Reserves policy**
The reserves policy is to have reserves at a level which represents at least three months overall running costs and designated funds for large scale maintenance costs and replacement of equipment.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2021**
## **c. Financial risk management objectives and policies**
Other than the risks covered by the Charity’s insurance policy, the Board of Trustees (the Board) has not identified any other substantial risks. The cash flow risk identified when the Centre first commenced trading is no longer a concern. The Centre Manager maintains consistent scrutiny of income and expenditure and the Board is given the current position in relation to the budget at every meeting. The Management Committee and the Board continue to monitor risk possibilities and take action if any are identified.
## **Structure, governance and management**
## **a. Constitution**
Ashenground Community Centre is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association.
## **b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees**
The management of the company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Memorandum of Association.
The number of Trustees shall be at least four and not more than nine. Not more than four shall be appointed by the Church of the Ascension, Haywards Heath (the “Nominated Trustees”) and the remainder (the “Elected Trustees) shall be elected by the membership.
None of the Trustees, who are also directors for company law purposes, held any beneficial interest in the company at any time.
## **c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies**
The Management Committee (two of whose members have to be Trustees) meets regularly and is responsible for the operations of the Centre. The Preschool Committee (two of whose members have to be Trustees) meets termly and is responsible for the operations of the Preschool.
For the Centre Operations there are four employees - the Centre Manager (Mrs Sue Neatherway), the Caretaker and the holiday-cover Caretaker and the Board Minutes Secretary. And for the Preschool Operations there are six employees – the Preschool Manager (Mrs Eva Sims), the Preschool Supervisor, three Preschool Assistants and one Bank Staff member.
## **d. Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees**
The charity has been fortunate to have attracted a high standard of Trustee with a wide range of skills from other sectors and most of whom have had experience of being a Trustee of other charities. A briefing is provided to new trustees. They are also provided with a copy of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, previous minutes and the annual report and accounts.

## **(A company limited by guarantee)**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2021**
## **Plans for future periods**
The financial targets are being met. The Board continues to concentrate on three areas - Business Finance, Capital Expenditure and Development – with the aim of further improving the facilities and services offered whilst ensuring that finances remain sound and can meet any potential increased expenditure.
The pandemic caused by covid-19 has had, and will continue to have for some time, an effect on the operations of the Centre. Trustees will carefully monitor the financial implications of the pandemic whilst providing for the changing demands and needs within our community.
Trustees continue to monitor the impact of the Pre-School and will invest, as soon as funds allow, in new equipment to ensure our younger members of our community receive the best start in their education. The storage sheds in the garden used by the Pre-School and others will require replacement in the near future, Trustees are planning for their replacement.
## **Members' liability**
The Members of the company guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the company in the event of winding up.
## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities**
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- 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 adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2021**
## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Ashenground Community Centre ('the company')**
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 30 April 2021.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the Trustees of the company (and 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 the company's accounts 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**
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.
This report is made solely to the company's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the company's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2021**
## **1. General information**
Ashenground Community Centre is a private charitable company, limited by guarantee, domiciled in England and Wales registration number 4413212 and charity number 1093850. The resgistered office and principal place of business is Southdown Close, Haywards Heath, West Sussex.
## **2. Accounting policies**
## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements**
The financial statements 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 2015), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Ashenground Community Centre meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
## **2.2 Income**
All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.
## **2.3 Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

**ASHENGROUND COMMUNITY CENTRE (A company limited by guarantee)**
**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2021**
## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **2.4 Government grants**
Government grants relating to tangible fixed assets are treated as deferred income and released to the Statement of financial activities over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned. Other grants are credited to the Statement of financial activities as the related expenditure is incurred.
## **2.5 Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
## **2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**
Tangible fixed assets costing £100 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following bases:
|Freehold property|- 2% 50 years straight line|
|---|---|
|Fixtures and fittings|- 20% 5 years straight line|
|Computer equipment|- 33% 3 years straight line|
## **2.7 Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **2.8 Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

**ASHENGROUND COMMUNITY CENTRE (A company limited by guarantee)**
**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2021**
## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **2.9 Liabilities and provisions**
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
## **2.10 Financial instruments**
The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **2.11 Pensions**
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year.
## **2.12 Fund accounting**
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
