## **TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR TO 31 MARCH 2022**
## **Introduction**
The Trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have prepared the annual report and financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” effective January 2015.
## **Name Change**
The company changed its name by special resolution on 28[th] November 2012 from Pegswood Community Project Limited to Pegswood Community Hub Limited.
## **Governing document**
Pegswood Community Hub Limited is a company limited by guarantee and its governing document is its Memorandum and Articles of Association. It is registered as a charity with the charity commission. Every member of the charity undertakes to contribute such an amount as may be required (not exceeding £1) to the charity's assets if it should be wound up while he or she is a member or within one year after he or she ceased to be a member.
## **Organisation**
The charity is managed by the trustees. The number of trustees is restricted with the makeup of the representatives of the management committee such as are required to fulfil the criteria set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, to ensure adequate representation of all areas of the community.
## **Appointment of Trustees**
The Directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of Charity Law. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association Directors are elected annually by the company at the general meeting, with one third resigning in rotation. Between annual meetings, the board may appoint Directors on a temporary basis to be confirmed by the company in the general meeting.
## **Induction of Trustees**
The majority of trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity. Additional new trustees are invited and encouraged to attend a series of short meetings with some of the existing trustees to familiarise themselves with the charity and the contexts within which it operates. These cover:-
- The obligations of board members.
- The main documents that set out the operation framework for the charity, including the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
- Resourcing and current financial position as set out in the latest published accounts
- Future plans and objectives.
There is a strict child and vulnerable people protection policy which is reviewed annually in consultation with all staff working with children or young people.

## _**PEGSWOOD COMMUNITY HUB LIMITED**_
## **Objectives and activities**
To provide an advice and support network for families within Pegswood in the County of Northumberland, to provide a safe, secure and creative outlet for both the young and adults of the village and those disaffected, otherwise excluded, or in need, and to advance adult education and training, promote the presentation and protection of good health and relieve the effects of poverty amongst the residents of the parishes of Pegswood and Longhirst.
## **Achievements and public benefit**
After all the trials and tribulations of COVID, The Hub finally re-opened at the end of June 2021, with all of our groups coming back at various intervals during July and August.
We officially re-opened on Friday 3[rd] September with a “Northumbrian Night “, which had been the first casualty of the first Covid Lockdown.
Since September all of our groups have started to come back on a regular basis. Our **ELDERFLOWERS** are back up to full strength and are going well.
The same can be said of our Toddler group “ **PIPLINGS** “ which re-started with reduced numbers due to Covid regulations on a bookable place basis, but are now back on mainstream.
Our **KIDZ CLUB** has re-started and is going from strength to strength, with numbers having to be restricted on some nights.
Our **WATERCOLOURS GROUP** has re-started, and is now proceeding normally. They will be holding an exhibition later this year at the Parish Council led “Village Fair Day.”
All our other **CRAFT** groups are progressing well, as are our Monday and Wednesday Lunches and Friday Breakfasts.
One major drawback during the year was a cost of £3,000 to repair our ageing gas boiler. The boiler needs to be replaced next year and we are hoping to do this by means of a grant.
**In conclusion:** The Hub is progressing very well, with our Friday Family Nights and various themed nights being well attended and bringing in much needed revenue.
## **Financial Report**
Total income increased slightly in the year to £44,035 (2021: £41,798). Income included Covid related grants of 13,295, and the Trustees are grateful for this, and the support of all other funders, supporters and Hub users during the year.
Costs, including depreciation of £8,075, were £49,474 and the Trustees remain conscious of the need to control costs and run the Hub on a broadly break-even basis at the very least.
Bank and cash balances at 31 March 2022 were £13,846 (2021: £27,202). During the year, the Charity completely repaid the Bounce Back Loan of £19,000, and the Charity is now completely debt free.
Page 2
## _**PEGSWOOD COMMUNITY HUB LIMITED**_
Reserves at 31 March 2022 were £59,325 (2021: £64,764), of which £36,655 was unrestricted. Unrestricted cash reserves represent approximately 4 months’ operating costs, and the Trustees remain committed to building reserves in the coming years.
## **Trustees Responsibilities**
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charity and of its financial activities for that year, together with its assets and liabilities at the end of the period, and adequately distinguish any material special trust or other restricted fund of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the appropriate SORP on Accounting by Charities and the Accounting Regulations and with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements 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 of the charity, and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable Accounting Standards and Statements of Recommended Practice and the regulations made under the Charities Act 2011.
The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
So far as the trustees are aware, there is no relevant information needed by the company’s accountants in connection with preparing their report of which the company’s accountants are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s accountants are aware of that information.
## **Risk Review**
The trust has reviewed its Risk Assessment and addressed the risks contained. This will be continually reviewed and updated using a Risk Log.
This report was approved by the Trustees on 16[th] June 2022
And signed on its behalf by

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO THE TRUSTEES OF PEGSWOOD COMMUNITY HUB LIMITED.**
I report to the Charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Trust for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 5 to 14.
## **Respective and basis of report**
The trustees, who are also the directors of Pegswood Community Hub Limited (‘the Company’) for the purposes of company law, 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 charity 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**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with my 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 the requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an Independent Examination; and
- (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 (FRS102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
## **1. Accounting Policies**
## **1.1. Accounting basis and standards**
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the provisions of Financial Reporting Standard 102, Section 1a Small Entities, and the Charity Statement of Recommended Practice, (Charities SORP (FRS 102) 2019), as well as the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
**1.2. Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** Depreciation on fixed assets is provided at rates estimated to write off the cost or revalued amounts, less estimated residual value, of cash asset over its expected useful life as follows:
Land and buildings 15% reducing balance Office Equipment 15% reducing balance Fixtures and Fittings 15% reducing balance Cafe Equipment 15% reducing balance
All assets are reviewed regularly for impairment, and written down to their recoverable, where necessary.
## **1.3. Income**
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts to the charity and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities upon receipt. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
Bank interest is included when receivable.
Income from charitable activities is accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
## **1.4. Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes unrecoverable VAT.
Charitable expenditure includes all costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include accountancy fees.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
## **1.5. Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of funding.
## **1.6. Pensions**
The Project operates a defined contributions pension scheme. Contributions are charged in the accounts as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
## **1.7. Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
## **1.8. Trade debtors**
Trade debtors are amounts due from funders for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
## **1.9. Trade creditors**
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
