Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects

A) To promote the benefit of the inhabitants of the estates of Ravenscliffe and Greengates in Bradford and the neighbourhood thereof (hereinafter called "The Area of Benefit") without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or political, religious or other opinions, by associating together the said inhabitants and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and other leisure-time occupation with the object of improving the conditions for life for the said inhabitants;

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.

Achievements and performance

The start of the financial year saw RCA start to leave Covid lockdown restrictions and begin to entice service users back into the centre, whilst still ensuring everything was being done to keep people safe.

Our work with the Weston Pilotlighters which is made up of five chief executives of various successful organisations continued via zoom, with a site visit at the end of the project in October 2021. The work undertaken on this project added strength to our organisation as we now have a new mission statement, a strategic vision and plan, alongside a strengthened management board to drive us forward in achieving our

RCA continued with the development of our plan for the creation of a ‘Learning Zone’ which will enable us to offer accredited learning alongside apprenticeships. In order to achieve this we have extended our lease on The Gateway building and with the help and support of Waller and Partners architects we also have draft plans and planning permission. Our mission to establish the Learning Zone will continue into the next financial year.

New partnerships were formed during the year and as a result of this new projects are now being delivered, not only in the immediate BD10 area but across Bradford. These projects are supported by JU:MP, this being a pilot project funded by the National Lottery through Sport England with the aim of better understanding of what helps people to be active in their communities. RCA are delivering Dance via Dance Activators and Active Families via JU:MP Connectors, as part of the 12 JU:MP pilots projects.

Bradford Local Authority, Early Help staff also occupy the Gateway Centre and returned back after working from home in April 2022. Meetings have taken place with their staff team which have been very positive in respect of how we can strengthen the services we provide for our local community by working in partnership in the near future.

During the year we said goodbye to two members of our staff team whose projects came to an end and we welcomed new members of the staff team as a result of funding for new projects and continuation of existing projects.

RCA has changed IT provider and bought out the lease for the photocopier in order to ensure value for money. We have also introduced electronic card payments which enables staff to be able to take payments remotely when delivering sessions away from the Centre. RCA is now getting back to delivering a full-time table of provision and finances remain stable.

Financial review

The net expenditure for the year was £16,694, including net income of £13,692 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £30,386 on restricted funds after transfers.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022

Reserves policy

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £270,627.

It is the policy of the association to maintain a level of reserves equal to 6 to 12 months of total running costs plus notice and redundancy costs which we calculate to be between £158,013 to £316,026.

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.

Notes to the accounts

for the year ended 31 March 2022

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.

The accounts for the previous year have been restated due to the funding criteria not being met on the Employment Support Fund, resulting in the debtor balance of £10,344 not being paid.

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

Grants 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.

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.
