## **Activities for the Year** 

Financially the accounts are showing a deficit for the year of £44,883. The deficit is a reflection of all the maintenance and building work that have needed to be carried out during this financial year. 

During this year Community House supported the local community with the continued role of supporting the local community in partnership with North Yorkshire 

County Council is sponsoring Ripon Community House as the local Community Anchor organisation this has meant another busy year especially for food support. 

Food support has now new Lead member of staff recruited to run the food support project as well as undertaking marketing and fundraising to raise the profile of Ripon Community House within the local community. The universal food offering on a Wednesday - Waste not Wednesday has also gone from strength to strength and is seeing a regular cohort of people attending each week. Saving thousands of tons of food going into landfill. 

Ripon Community House's aspiration is that the organisation will continue to develop further working with partners to ensure that access to services remains local. To do this the organisation will continue to work with North Yorkshire Council to strengthen the Community Anchor Organisation role within the community.

||The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees<br>consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the<br>Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.<br>It is my responsibility to:|||



- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

|**Basis of**|My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity|
|---|---|
|**independent**|Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and|
|**examiner’s**|a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any|
|**statement**|unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the 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** In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives **examiner's** me cause to believe that in, any material respect: **statement** • accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or • the accounts do not accord with such records; or • the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or • the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102). I 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.

## **1) Company Status** 

The Company is Limited by guarantee; Every member undertakes to contribute £1 per member in event of winding up the company. 

## **2) Accounting Policies** 

## **2.1) Accounting convention** 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and 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)’ as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1st January 2016. The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The accounts have been prepared under historical cost convention. The accounts present a true and fair view and no changes have been made to the principal accounting policies adopted below. 

## **2.2) Going concern** 

At the time of approving the accounts, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts. 

## **2.3) Incoming resources** 

Incoming resources are recognised in the period in which they are received. Income is deferred only when the charity has to fulfil conditions before entitled to it or where the funder has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period. 

## **2.4) Resources expended** 

All expenditure is included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accrual’s basis. Resources expended are allocated directly to a particular activity where costs relate directly to that activity. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. 

## **2.5) Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases: 

Fixtures & fittings 25% reducing balance Office Equipment 25% reducing balance
