TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
Whitstable Umbrella Centre is governed by its new “Articles of Association”, as amended at the Annual General Meeting on the 29 November 2019. This change was undertaken in order to update the Articles generally, and to take into account the various new rules which have come into place since the 7 September 2001, when both the old Articles and the “Memorandum of Association” were last signed by the Trustees. The new rules stipulate that the Memorandum of Association cannot be changed, and so these will remain as before, as a historical record.
Under the terms of the new Articles of Association the objects of the Whitstable Umbrella Centre remain the same as were contained in the Memorandum of Association;
-
a) to promote (without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race, political affiliation, religious or other opinions) any charitable purpose for the benefit of the inhabitants of Chestfield, Seasalter, Swalecliffe, Tankerton and Whitstable, Kent (the area of benefit) and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing in particular;
-
b) to relieve mental or physical sickness, disability or disorder, and to relieve the aged;
-
c) to protect and preserve mental and emotional health and stability.
New Membership Rules
The new rules governing membership now stipulate that the only members of the Charity shall be those persons who are appointed as Trustees of the Charity, and all persons appointed as Trustees shall be admitted as members.
Board of Trustees
The Charity shall have a Board of Trustees comprising at least three members. For the avoidance of doubt, Trustees are “directors” for company law purposes and “trustees” for charity law purposes, and the personal details of all Trustees shall be filed with Companies House and the Charity Commission, as required by law.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
The Trustees may at any time appoint additional Trustees, being persons who are considered able to contribute to the proper management and conduct of the business of the Charity and further its objects.
A copy of the new Articles of Association of the Umbrella Centre may be obtained from our Office, or from our website www.umbrellacentre.co.uk
Organisational structure
COVID-19 changed the nature of meetings. Trustee meetings continued to be held monthly but on a more ad hoc basis, in person when government restrictions allowed and otherwise on Zoom.
The pandemic enforced closure of the Centre during national lockdowns and during these periods our parttime administrators, Sally Newell and Charlotte Philip, were either furloughed or worked from home where possible.
In September both administrators resigned and the Trustees made the decision to change the structure by appointing a Centre Manager. David Daly was appointed to begin early in November. Unfortunately his whole family contracted COVID-19 and the start date was delayed until 2nd December 2020.
Craig Potter continued to provide caretaking services when the Centre was open, and to work on solo maintenance work when it was closed.
Mary Lerigo and Sheila Wyver continued throughout the period to maintain the garden.
Given the extraordinary nature of the times, all staff and volunteers worked with exemplary zeal and flexibility in very difficult circumstances.

Risk assessment
The Board of Trustees is responsible for identifying organisational risks, as outlined in our Business Plan for 2020/23, copies of which are available from the Office or website.
The pandemic presented new challenges to do with maintaining a closed building, dealing with the loss of income during closure, managing personnel in unprecedented circumstances, and ensuring safe, sociallydistanced and government-compliant re-opening. In spite of the additional load caused by changes and reduced availability of staff, trustees, and other volunteers, these challenges were all met.
Lease arrangements were on-going at the end of the period. Both permanent tenants (The Umbrella Café CIC and The Hive Co-working Space) remain in place to continue their valuable work, and the Centre’s lease with Canterbury City Council is in the process of renegotiation.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
We have a special obligation towards those in our community who could benefit from social help. For this group, in normal times, we either provide support ourselves or recruit specialist organisations. During the lockdown closures some provisions continued online, others had to cease, and others were taken over by organisations that were able to stay open. Our close association with The Umbrella Café (which, being a food provider, was not required to close) meant we could continue to support those suffering food poverty and social isolation through the charity Food Friends which was originally set up in collaboration with the Centre. In addition, we were able to make extra space available for the Café to set up The Social Pantry to make good food destined for waste available to those who needed it.
As a community centre we aim to provide opportunities and places for all community members whether they are in need of social support or not. Educational and leisure activities and fundraisers were obviously severely curtailed when we were closed and, of course, all private hires for individual celebrations had to be cancelled.
Our community garden was able to remain open at times when the Café was open, providing a quiet place for relaxation and comfort, and was especially useful for activities which couldn’t take place indoors.
As soon as it was possible to do so safely we reopened our Farmers’ Market and later other non-food markets. Our spacious hall reopened in due course for a restricted range of activities and we are confident that many activities that were valued before COVID-19 will resume, depending on changes in Government restrictions, and on the willingness and ability of vulnerable individuals to return. An example of this is the Canterbury Food Bank which was housed in our main hall for several years.
Performance
The year for the Centre, as for all such institutions, has been very restricted in terms of our performance. Plans for development and improvement of the building in order to offer enhanced services to the community have had to be largely shelved for the time being.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The Charity made a surplus of £18,841 during the year. As at 31 March 2021 the charity has unrestricted reserves of £91,582 to carry forward. Of this amount, £20,000 has been designated for the Emergency Closure fund, and £3,499 for the Fixed Asset fund and although the balance of £68,083 does exceed the required amount of our Reserves Policy, these reserves are expected to fall in the coming year with the continued uncertainty around the pandemic.
Reserves Policy and going concern
The Centre’s Reserves Policy stipulates that the Centre shall have in reserves, a figure of between three and six months’ turnover (excluding restricted funding). The Trustees believe that there is no reason to assume that this figure needs to be reviewed downwards in the coming year.
The Trustees have reviewed the Charity’s budgets and cash flow forecasts for the next 12 months, and based on these have a reasonable expectation that the charity will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the coming year providing that we are able to operate under any restrictions placed on us by the Government in respect of Covid-19. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the “going concern” basis in preparing the financial statements.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The Centre opened up as from July 2021, but at a much reduced level of activity. It is hoped that activiites will fully restart as soon as possible. Once the new lease for the building is agreed, improvements will be ade to the Centre including a providing a new room to be used for community activities.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The Centre is committed to ensuring that it remains of public benefit, and ensures that this is achieved by:-
-
Providing a minimum 15 hours’ worth of free or subsidised activity per month to charitable and community organisations, including our support group for those at risk of social isolation which is run by our volunteers ;
-
Operating a Community Garden and ad hoc events for the general public ;
-
Providing up to £5,000 of free use of its space through an annually agreed rent remission process which gives priority to groups who provide free welfare or support services ;
-
Remaining a high quality and accessible venue which supports local charities and new initiatives through its flexible pricing structure.

-
2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 386 of the 2006 Act other than any requirements 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 the 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.

Restricted funds :
Restorative Training fund
The Restorative Training fund is a grant received from Kent Police in a previous year for the provision of training to raise awareness and understanding of restorative justice practices.
Food Friends
The funding for the project (received last year) was for a project run by a volunteer (Anna Mantell) specifically intended for food poverty and social benefit. When the project ended the balance of the fund was paid to Anna Mantell which she paid into the newly formed Charity, Food Friends UK in order to comply with the donors intended purpose.
Community Nurture
The Community Nurture project was a joint project with Red Zebra Community Solutions supporting new community groups to become established.
Youth Panel
Gifted by The David Family Foundation in the previous year to create a youth panel with schools (8-13) so that we can use the money to put together something that they want us to do. We then contacted them to explain that Covid had stopped this from progressing and suggested that we would use the funds to support provision of the catch up sessions at the Centre and also to support the Social Pantry food provision throughout Covid. The David Family Foundation were happy with that.
Community Dinners
March 2020 - August 2020: Collaborative crisis response between cafe centre and good friends to deliver home cooked meals and breakfast pack provision and social support over 6 months to 176 people a week. Beneficiaries mostly professionally referred (school, church, social prescribers): single isolated older to large families. Funding came from Kent Community Foundation, Colyer Fergusson Charitable Trust, Martin Lewis Corona Charity Fund, Fred Goldfinch Trust, Big Lottery Fund and other donations. Money was shared, so a proportion was core funding for the Centre and some was the direct project funding dependent on the restrictions of the funding. The balance of the fund was then paid to The Umbrella Cafe CIC for stock for the Social Pantry. the transfer of £3,126 to unrestricted funds was a contribution towards the charity's overheads in respect of running the project.
