Ravenscliffe Community Association

Trustee’s report for the year ending 31 March 2020

Activities & Challenges

The Charity’s main activities

Due to the onset of the COVID 19 crisis, this financial year has been very challenging, just as it has for most organisations. The centre was closed from the first lockdown on the 23[rd ] of March 2020.

To continue to support our community, we had to change the way in which we work, instead of the community coming to us, we went out to them. Alongside this it was also important to keep staff safe by only bringing them into the centre when they needed to be there, otherwise they were asked to work from home. Some staff were also furloughed on either a full-time or part-time basis.

We supported our community by delivering hot meals and food bags, educational activity packs for children of all ages, a telephone befriending service for both the elderly and the most vulnerable, going into the community to lead dance exercise on streets, with families joining in from their gardens and a weekly outdoor mini market. We delivered quizzes, bingo, meditation, and relaxation sessions via zoom and WhatsApp and loaned laptops/tablets to those who needing them the most. As COVID pushed those furthest from the job market even further we continued to offer employment support via zoom.

Or main two projects ‘Help through Crisis’ and ‘Combat Waste’ both funded by the National Lottery are due to end on the 31[st ] of May 2021, under normal circumstances we would have started communication with the National Lottery for our next bid via the ‘Strengthening communities funding stream, to take what we have achieved to the next stage, by the 1[st] June 2020. Due to COVID 19 the only funding stream available for the National Lottery was the COVID Resilience Fund, which due to healthy reserves our bid was unsuccessful. This has meant that we have had to strive to keep our reserves at 6 months to be able to continue our provision from the end of current Lottery funding and the outcome of a future bid is known. Fortunately, due to other COVID support grants we have been able to do this.

In addition to the challenges presented by COVID we also recognised that we needed to strengthen the RCA Management Board and produce a strategic plan for the next 3 to 5 years. As a result of RCA being awarded the Weston Charity Pilotlight award we were able to do this with the support of 5 pilotlighters, these being CEOs of successful organisations who volunteer to support charitable organisations over a period of 12 months, this being from 1.6.20 to 31.5.21. As a result of working with the Pilotlighters we have now conducted a Management Board Members skills analysis, identified gaps in skills and expertise and placed adverts for new members. We have also conducted a visioning exercise with Trustees, Staff and Volunteers and produced our strategic plan for the next 3 to 5 years. Our vision is to expand our building and establish a ‘Learning Zone’ which provides apprenticeships, accredited learning, and a community café to strengthen connectedness of local people.

The Future

COVID restrictions meant that we could not start delivery of a new project ‘JU:MP’, the objective of which is to get children more active in outdoor play. The start date was but delayed but delivery will now commence from 1st May 2021 in five areas of Bradford.

We are through to the second stage of a bid to Tudor Trust, which would ensure that our ‘Pay What Your Feel’ café continues, along with our weekly mini-market.

We are also in the second phase of our National Lottery bid, which is to deliver education, apprenticeships, and support furthest from the job market into work. This will prepare us for the creation of the Learning zone, which when established would provide RCA with an opportunity to become sustainable in the future.

Our board currently has seven Trustee’s, this financial year has seen the resignation of two Trustees, due to poor health and personal commitments and the recruitment of a new Trustee. We hope that because of our Trustee skills analysis and recruitment campaign we can further strengthen our board to achieve our future vision.

B) To establish or secure the establishment of a community centre and to maintain and manage the same, whether alone, or in co-operation with any local authority or other person of body in furtherance of these objects;

C) The association shall be non-party in politics and non-sectarian.

Public benefit statement

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of health, education, wellbeing and citizenship.

Financial review

The net income for the year was £87,007, including net income of £61,869 on unrestricted funds and net income of £25,138 on restricted funds after transfers.

Reserves policy

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £235,139.

It is the policy of the association to maintain a level of reserves equal to 3 to 6 months of total running costs plus notice and redundancy costs which we calculate to be between £69,713 to £158,013.

The excess reserves will be used in 21/22 when some of our funding comes to an end.

Funds held as agent on behalf of others

Grant income was received from the Bradford MBC for the project 'Bloomin Buds' as part of the Council Wardens Street Programme. RDP acts as an agent in relation to these funds therefore the income and expenditure is excluded from the accounts. Note 11 provides further information in relation to these funds.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2021

Statement of trustees' responsibilities

The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They 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.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Signed on behalf of the board of trustees on 9/8/2021

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors 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 charitable company 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 ('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

Since the charitable company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act.

I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a fellow of ACCA which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

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.

Notes to the accounts

for the year ended 31 March 2021

1 Accounting policies

Basis of accounting

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) and with the Charities Act 2011.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. There has been no change to the accounting policies since last year.

No changes have been made to the accounts for previous years.

Going concern

The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Grants and donations

Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.

Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.

Donated goods for resale are valued at the amount actually realised upon their sale.

Donated assets, facilities or services are valued at their estimated value to the charity. This is the price that the charity estimates it would pay in the open market for equivalent items; or services and facilities of equivalent utility to the charity.

Expenditure and liabilities

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Taxation

As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Gifted assets are shown at the value to the charity on receipt. 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:

Motor vehicles: over 4 years Computer equipment: over 3 years Fixtures and equipment: over 4 years Leasehold property: 4% straight line

Pensions

The charity operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. The costs of contributions are recognised in the year they are payable.

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 an appeal.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts.

Leases

Rents under operating leases are charged on a straight line basis over the lease term or to an earlier date if the lease can be determined without financial penalty.

Ravenscliffe Community Association

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Ravenscliffe Community

Association

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2021, which are set out on pages 7 to 16.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors 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 charitable company 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 ('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

Since the charitable company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act.

I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a fellow of ACCA which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

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.
