TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the company for the 1 May 2021 to 30 April 2022. 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

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.

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

As we move on from the Covid 19 pandemic, the Centre is open for hiring in accordance with advice given by national Government.

Trustees’ and Management Committee meetings were held in person.

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 publicizes 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 are still keen to outreach further to the community.

Trustees worked with the management Committee to plan for an open day in the Autumn.

Mid-Sussex District Council, West Sussex County Council and Haywards Heath Town Council are very supportive of the Centre and its activities. With the grateful support of its members Mid-Sussex District Council awarded us £6716 for LED replacement lights and other building enhancements and Haywards Heath Town Council awarded us £1253 for a floor scrubbing machine.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

Achievements and performance (continued)

The Board continued planning to reopen our popular Cinema. A decision was made to invest in our own equipment, although requiring a capital investment, on-going costs would significantly reduce. Trustees are exploring the possibility of grant support from Mid Sussex District Council.

The Centre Café re-opened in the Summer. Thanks to all the volunteers involved this important part of the Centre has quickly reestablished.

Our Pre-School closed in the first term of 2022; this was disappointing to all those who worked so hard to establish the Pre-School. Due to the high cost of recruiting replacement staff, Trustees decided to seek a private provider to run a Pre-School setting at the Centre. Acknowledging that it was unlikely to be immediate the Centre manager sought other hirings for the main Hall.

External redecoration will be carried out in the Summer of 2022.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

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.

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.

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.

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.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

Structure, governance and management (continued)

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.

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. The Chairman of board also expresses thanks to Kevin for on-going support.

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.

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.

Hirings are back to pre-pandemic levels, and demand for use of the Centre continues to be stable.

The loss of the Pre-School caused some uncertainty; however, this was mitigated by additional day time hirings. Trustees are confident that a Pre-School will wish to run from the Centre and are actively discussing options with a provider.

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.

Trustees will ensure the provision of the Cinema equipment is installed; this equipment will also add to the hiring potential of the main Hall.

ASHENGROUND COMMUNITY CENTRE (A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

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.

Page 11

ASHENGROUND COMMUNITY CENTRE (A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

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.

Page 12

ASHENGROUND COMMUNITY CENTRE (A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

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.
