Colindale Communities Trust Trustees. Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2022 Achievements and performance The charity's main activities and who it tries to help are described below. All its charitable activities focus on developing sustainable projects and partnerships that bring people together as well as improving the economic and social wellbeing of people in Colindale and are undertaken to further Colindale Communities Trust charitable purposes for the public benefit. We exist to provide resources and facilities to meet the needs of our community. 2021-22 has been a year of evolving change as we gradually supported the team, volunteers, partners and community back to our pre-pandemic lives. At a local level, we have seen the high level of negative impact of Covid-19 on physical and mental health, and most critically on social isolation. These impacts have resulted through increased cost of living, unemployment and redundancies, changes to universal credit, increased anxiety and depression, and most recently fuel increases resulting in many families being forced to choose whether to heat or eat. Key highlights of our year: A significant call from the community for community learning courses, and health and wellbeing social activities to bring them out of isolation, with CCT meeting that need. Starting the year with the renovated Old Library and ending the year with the Community centre floor refurbishment - both providing welcoming spaces. Under CCT'S accredited training centre we delivered a Level 2 Award in Business and Administration Ski115 and Level 3 Award in Education and Teaching. 21 local residents achieved these qualifications, leading to 6 learners teaching in the community, 4 in paid employment and 3 into volunteering. All gained work experience. Our community researchers surveyed 277 households providing in-depth insight into support needs to direct new programme delivery by all stakeholders. Gaining a strategic partnership with Council's Public Health Team to ensure commissioned services and future Services are targeted for the local Grahame Park community through the NHS Neighbourhood Model pilot. 'Make It Happen, a partnership coordinated by NHG bringing on site BOOST, DWP, Youth Engagement Services, TFL, Shared Enterprise, We R Digital, Pure Insights, Twinings - all provide specialist employment, training and enterprise support for all ages and those with support needs.

The trustees have made considerable progress to meeting, and indeed exceeding, this target during the year with current reserves equating to I l. I months running costs.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Charities Act") and that an independent examination is needed. The charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW). 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 Commi55ion (under Section 145(5)(b) of the Charities 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 charity 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 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 examlner's statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: l. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. h-pikn- Adrian Phillips FCA Arlo Accountancy Limited 107 Valley Road Stockport SK4 2DB 1911212022 15 Doc ID.. 73txc325b82988969648b60f5badbacf37cb1882
