Trustees, Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)
Year ended 31 December 2024
Statemeni of truslees, responsibllltles
The tmstees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the linancial statements
in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (Uniled
Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England and
Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions
of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each linancial year which
give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and
application of resources, including the income and expenditure. of the charity for that period. In
preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to select suitable accounting policies
and then apply them consislently- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP., make
judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent- state whether applicable accounting
standards have been followed, subject lo any material departures disclosed and explained in the
financial statements. prepare the financial slatements on the going concern basis unless it is
inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. The trustees are responsible for
keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial
position ol the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the
Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the
trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking
reasonable steps for the prevention and detection ol fraud and other irregularities.
Achlevements and performance
2024 was a busy year for the Centre. We saw a number of staff changes which brought its
challenges. On a positive note, we recruitecl a permanent Centre Manager, who is based at the
centre. This provides a more hands on approach to staff management and improved coordination of
the centre's activities Our parties are still one of our major income streams and using some of the
funds from our fundraising events we made several equipment purchases for parties, such as a new
bouncy castle, ball pil and tunnel. After trying out a number of options for party food, we decided to
bring this in house. Not only is this more profitable but we also are able lo keep better control over
what we offer. Our energy cosls remain a challenge and we inlroduced a number of cost saving
initiatives, including the installation of timer switches- obtained a £1.000 credit from the Climate
Change Levy (CCL) and began discussions with Coventry City Council who carried out a free energy
audit. These discussions proved fruitful and enabled us to apply for related grants which will resull in
future ongoing financial reductions in our energy costs. The cafe has contributed significantly to the
centre where it conlinues to offer meals and snacks to the local community and visitors to the centre.
In July, we welcomed a social subscriber who is based at the centre and is a brilliant contact who
brings agencies and support to our community centre. We have had a successful year with renting
our rooms on an ad-hoc basis and have increased the number of groups using our facilities. This
means that our rental income is increasing and we can now offer more opportunities for the local
community to get involved
Flnancial review
The statement of financial activities for the year is set on page ol the accounts. In summary, the
incoming resources for the year amounted to £147,759 (2023 £150,569} with the main source of

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of THE JOHN WHITE
COMMUNITY CENTRE LIMITED
Year ended 31 December 2024
I report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the
statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account}, statement of financial
position and the related notes.
Respectlve responslbililies of Irustees and examin8r
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law} are
responsible for Ihe preparation of the financial statements. The trustees consider thal 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.
Having satisfied mys8lf that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for
independent examination, it is my responsibility to..
exarnine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act.,
lo follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission
under section 145151(b) of the 2011 Act. and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls 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 charily and a
comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideralion of any
unusual i18ms or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations Irom you as trustees
concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence thal would
be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is gtven as to whether the accounls present a
'Irue and fair view and the report is limited to those malters set out in the next statement.
Independent examiner's stalemenl
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
111 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements..
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006, and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting record& comply with the accounting
requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and
principles of th8 Statement of Recommended Practice.. Accounting and Reporting by
Charities have not been met, or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reached.

Accounting pollcies (oontinued)
Incomlng resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has
passed to Ihe charity., it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction
will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies
are applied to particular categories of income..
income frorn donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the
gift, receipt is probable and ils amount can be measured reliably.
legacy income Is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is
impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor
or the resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when
received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution
of general volunteers.
incorne from contracts for the supply of seNices is recognised with the delivery of the
contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual
requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned il unspent, in which case
it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any
VAT which cannot be fully recovered. and is classitied under headings of the statement of
financial activities to which it relates:
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-
charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs inGurred by a charity in undertaking
activities that further its charitable aims for Ihe benefit of its beneficiaries, including those
support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable
activities.
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the
charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories refiecling the use of the resource. Direct costs
attributable lo a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned
bet￿een the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consislent basis.
Tanglble assels
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequenlly stated at cost less any
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued
amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent
accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)
Year ended 31 December 2024
Accountlng policies (contlnued)
Tangible assets (contlnued)
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other
recognised gains and losses. unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been
recognised as expenditure within the slatement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying
amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses,
except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within
other recognised gains and losses on the statemenl of financial activities.
Deprecialion
Deprecialion is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual
value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Freehold property- no depreciation
Fixtures, fittings and equipment- 20 /• reducing balance basis
Impalmient of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable
amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the
recoverable amount. the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for
possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable
amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-
generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable
group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of
the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill. the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the
acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from
the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities ot the charity
are assigned to those units.
Limiled by guarantee
The company is a company limited by guarantee not having a share capital. The liability of each
