Objectives and Activities
ECO is governed by Memorandums and Articles or Association to deliver the aims and objectives of the organisation. The objects of ECO are to assist in the development of the capacity and skills of the beneficiaries, being the inhabitants of Edlington and other areas of Doncaster.
Public benefit status of the company
ECO only has charitable purposes which are for the benefit of the public, operating as a Charity with a board of trustees who report our activities and how we have conducted ourselves in line with the Charity Commission whilst meeting purposes under the Charities Act 2011. ECO’s charitable purposes include but are not exclusive of:
-
The Prevention of relief of poverty – in particular reference to the provision of food.
-
The advancement of education – in particular reference to community education, training and life-long learning.
-
The advancement of citizenship or community development – in particular reference to the promotion of volunteering and the promotion of the voluntary sector.
Achievement’s and Performance
ECO delivers a hub of community activities from our office at Yorkshire Main Community Centre ranging from social activities to one to one support and signposting.
Continuing to work through a time of national crisis, we have played an active role within the community over the last 12 months. Government restrictions were still in place during the year and we continued to support our community with essential services as we did during the first year of the pandemic. As restrictions began to lift, our face to face sessions resumed and the community centre was once again bustling with groups and activities across our 7-day timetable and dedicated team of heroes who don’t wear capes we have:
-
Supported 3557 individuals with emergency food parcels and visits to our pay as you feel community market, using our van to collect and distribute this food to people in need.
-
Distributed 4685 bags of shopping to 333 households with our community cupboard, supporting 604 people within these homes.
-
Distributed 537 free cleaning and hygiene packs to struggling households.
-
Distributed 391 packs of sanitary items to schools, community venues and individuals suffering from period poverty.
-
Supported children and adults to lift their spirits and promote positive wellbeing during periods of isolation with 860 activity packs and 27 face to face events.
-
Reduced the pressure on emergency service by offering 176 pairs of free slippers to prevent falls and 481 packs of free hearing aid batteries to ensure our elderly can communicate with essential services.
-
Supported those facing fuel poverty by distributing 120 slow cookers.
-
Distributed 131 winter wellbeing packs.
As an already deprived community, residents wouldn’t have survived the ongoing struggles of the pandemic without our services and the funding we have secured to deliver our projects including:
-
Doncaster MBC (Well Doncaster Grants, Ward Members Flexible Budget, Anticipate & DCLT)
-
Neighbourly
-
The Foyle Foundation
-
Doncaster Voluntary Faith & Community Sector
-
South Yorkshire Community Foundation Small Grants
-
South Yorkshire Community Foundation Mayoral Fund
-
Lord Lieutenants and Masonic Fund
-
Groundworks & One Stop
-
BBC Children in Need
Please see attached breakdown for all funding received during the year.
We would like to thank all of our funders for their support as well as local community groups and businesses: St Johns Church, Orthadox Church, Yorkshire Main Motors, Edlington Community Shop, St Mary’s Primary School, Hill Top Primary School, Warmsworth Primary School, Fareshare Yorkshire, Tesco Balby, Morrison’s Balby, IKEA Distribution Centre, DFS Doncaster and The Hygiene Bank Doncaster for their kind donations and contributions during a very difficult 12 months.
Our manager Samantha Siddall continues to lead our project, supported by our Community Engagement Officer Lynn, Community Cupboard Officer Dianne and our Centre Cleaner Julie who remain a united team.
All of this is a massive achievement for our small village and wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our donors, sponsors, funders, community groups and last but by no means least our volunteers who have been relentless in the delivery of our projects, working early mornings, late nights and weekends to support our operations from home and within the community centre. They have contributed over 5000 hours to help vulnerable people and support smaller community groups to provide services in other communities within Doncaster.
As we approach the end of the financial year we have new projects in the pipeline which include the recruitment of a Community Connector to support people in Edlington to move more and increase their physical activity.
Reserves policy of the organisation
In order to make judgement of the amount of reserves Trustees have considered the risks in respect of expenditure, unrestricted income and where appropriate restricted income and where funds can only be realised by the disposal of a fixed asset. Also taken into consideration are any external identified potential major risks to income and expenditure during the year.
ECO is currently dependent on grant funding to sustain its activities, as earned income alone would not allow us to continue operating. This means that if there were to be a gap in funding it is likely that ECO would have to close down. To avoid closure if funding difficulties were to happen the ECO board has agreed to keep a certain level of financial reserves to ensure that main operations can continue for a period of 12 months.
The main concerns of the board are to ensure:
The staff can continue working, primarily to secure new funding that members / service users are supported to move onto other services. Currently some funding has been secured until July 2022 but if difficulties arise it has been calculated that reserves of £20,000 would be needed to continue to run for at least 12 months covering:
• £10,000 redundancies
• £10,000 staffing
The level of reserves are calculated and monitored every 6 months by the board of Trustees.
Reference and Administrative details
ECO shall have a Management Committee comprising not less than five and not more than fifteen persons, made up as follows:
-
(a) up to five individual members elected by and from the membership at the Annual General Meeting;
-
(b) up to eight representatives of organisation members elected by and from the membership at the Annual General Meeting;
For the avoidance of doubt, Management Committee members are directors of the company within the meaning of company law, and charity trustees within the meaning of charity law.

EDLINGTON COMMUNITY ORGANISATION INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS
Report to the trustees of Edlington Community Organisation on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 set out on pages 5 to 13.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period (under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) ) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charitable company and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking of explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the Management Committee have not met the requirements to ensure that:
-
proper accounting records have been kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
accounts are prepared which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities; or
-
2 which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022
1 STATUTORY INFORMATION
Edlington Community Organisation is a limited liability company registered in England and Wales. The registered office is Room 4 Yorkshire Main Community Centre, Edlington Lane, Edlington, Doncaster, DN12 1AB. The company is limited by guarantee.
2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below and have remained unchanged from the previous year, and also have been consistently applied within the accounts.
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) (effective 1 January 2015), Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Edlington Community Organisation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transactional value unless otherwise state in the relevant accounting policy note(s). The financial statements are prepared in Sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
2.2 Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
2.3 Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available of use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charitable company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund.
2.4 Incoming Resources
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
Grants receivable, funding the general activities of the charity, are included in the period in which they are receivable, except when the funders specify that they must be used in future accounting periods or funders conditions have not been fulfilled, then the income is deferred.
2.5 Incoming resources with related expenditure
Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA.
Donations are recognised when receivable.
Grant funding is recognised when receivable or over the period of time stated by the funding body when the grant is approved.
In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time is not recognised, refer to the trustees report for more information about their contribution.
2.6 Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
2.8 Donated services and facilities
These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.
2.9 Investment income
Investment income is recorded under the accruals method.
2.10 Liability recognition
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.

2.12 Support costs
Include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Plant and equipment - 20 - 33% SL

1 STATUTORY INFORMATION
Edlington Community Organisation is a limited liability company registered in England and Wales. The registered office is Room 4 Yorkshire Main Community Centre, Edlington Lane, Edlington, Doncaster, DN12 1AB. The company is limited by guarantee.
2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below and have remained unchanged from the previous year, and also have been consistently applied within the accounts.
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) (effective 1 January 2015), Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Edlington Community Organisation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transactional value unless otherwise state in the relevant accounting policy note(s). The financial statements are prepared in Sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
2.2 Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
2.3 Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available of use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charitable company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund.
2.4 Incoming Resources
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
Grants receivable, funding the general activities of the charity, are included in the period in which they are receivable, except when the funders specify that they must be used in future accounting periods or funders conditions have not been fulfilled, then the income is deferred.
2.5 Incoming resources with related expenditure
Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA.
Donations are recognised when receivable.
Grant funding is recognised when receivable or over the period of time stated by the funding body when the grant is approved.
In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time is not recognised, refer to the trustees report for more information about their contribution.
2.6 Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

2.8 Donated services and facilities
These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.
2.9 Investment income
Investment income is recorded under the accruals method.
2.10 Liability recognition
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.

2.14 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.15 Creditors
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement after allowing for any trade discounts due.
