Directors and Trustees Report For the financial year ended 31 March 2025

The directors have pleasure submitting their report and the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Principal Activity

The principal activity of the company was the provision of a multi-purpose community facility for use by the people of Pheasey Park Farm and the surrounding areas of Walsall.

The company is a registered charity and the Department of Trade and Industry has been satisfied that the objects of the company are those of an educational charity. The company's governing documents are its Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Objects of the Charity

To promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Walsall and in particular, the immediate neighbourhood of Pheasey park Farm without distinction of sex or of political, religious or other opinions by associating the local authorities, voluntary organisations and inhabitants in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare, the object of improving conditions of life of said inhabitants.
To establish or to secure the establishment of a community centre and to maintain and manage or to co-operate with any statutory authority in the maintenance and management of such a centre for activities promoted by the association and its constituent bodies.

Review of Developments

The Autism meetings continues to grow from strength to strength providing a valuable point of contact.

Other developments and achievements during the year included:

Continued support of local groups by offering them subsidised facilities and in some cases free tables at our regular car boot sales to enable them to raise funding for their activities.
A Special Needs Group continues to utilise the Centres facilities.
Continued support for teaching requirements including use of classrooms and training rooms.
The onsite charity shop run by volunteers continues to a success as is the provision of lunches to the vulnerable.
The Counselling suite is being utilised on a regular basis, including local councillors.

Directors and Trustees Report (continued) For the financial year ended 31 March 2025

Review of Financial Position

This year there has been a transfer of a surplus of £6,010 to the General Reserve (2024 - deficit £3,864).

Under the Articles of Association, the Council is prohibited from paying a dividend to the members of the company.

Membership of Board

The Board membership is disclosed above in the administrative information section on page 2.

Board members’ interests in shares

Trustees of the charity are also directors and members of the company. The company does not have any share capital. Liability is limited by guarantee. Each member agrees to contribute £1 in the event of the company being wound up. They do not receive any remuneration for their services but are reimbursed for out of pocket expenses.

Appointment of new Trustees

The Trustees seek a broad range of skills and experience among their numbers.

When casual vacancies occur, the Trustees seek suitable candidates who are then proposed for election as Trustees and directors by the members of the company.

Reserves policy

The Company has received no endowment income and therefore relies on retained surpluses to meet its future requirements.

The Trustees also consider it prudent to attempt to hold unrestricted and undesignated reserves to meet exceptional and unforeseen contingencies of between three and six months of the resources expended.

Risk management

The Trustees have reviewed and identified the major risk to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established and implemented to mitigate those risks.

Accountants

The directors are satisfied that the company is entitled to exemption under the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 (the Act) relating to the audit of the financial statements for the year by virtue of section 477(2), and that no member or members have requested an audit pursuant to section 145 of the Act.

A resolution confirming the re-appointment of the accountants will be tabled at the Annual General Meeting.

Directors and Trustees Report (continued) For the financial year ended 31 March 2025

Directors' responsibilities

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that year. In preparing those financial statements, the directors are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with requirements of section 393 of the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions applicable to the small companies’ regime.

This report was approved by the Board on 9 December 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

Report of the Independent Examiner For the financial year ended 31 March 2025

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law), you 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 Company are not required to be audited for this year 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 material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that:

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).

1. Accounting policies (continued)

(e) Resources expended

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities using estimates deemed appropriate by the Trustees on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management costs.

Management and administration costs are those incurred in connection with the administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

(f) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Donated assets are valued at the time of acquisition.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic lives as follows:

Fixtures and Equipment 25% reducing balance

(g) Operating leases

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred over the term of the lease.

(h) Pension Costs

The company operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. The costs of contributions are written off against profits in the year they are payable.

(i) Investments

Investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. The SOFA indicates the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year.

(j) Stock

Stock consists of purchased goods for resale. Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Items donated for resale or distribution, are not included in the financial statements until they are sold or distributed.

(k) Finance and operating leases

Rentals applicable to operating leases are charged to the SOFA over the period in which the cost is incurred. Assets purchased under finance leases are capitalised as fixed assets. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors. The difference between the capitalised cost and the total obligation under the lease represents the finance charges. Finance charges are written off to the SOFA over the period of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge.
