ENSURING OUR WORK DELIVERS OUR AIM
In March 2023, the Trustees and the Centre Director reviewed the charity's work against the 202124 aim and outcomes. This light touch review looked at the current programmes, service users, progress towards objectives and fundraising. Priorities were agreed for the remainder of the strategic period with a view to conducting a full review at the end. These priorities aimed to increase the diversity of users to reflect the community local to the centre, with a focus on those who had been hit the hardest through the cost-of-living crisis. A strategy day will be held in 2024

HOW OUR WORK DELIVERS PUBLIC BENEFIT
Our core programmes are:
-
Children & Families – supporting the development of children aged 0-5 and providing affordable, educational and enriching opportunities for primary-aged children and their parents. Activities include Stay & Play, messy play, parenting support, speech & language support, afterschool clubs, holiday clubs, one-off events and daytrips.
-
Arts, Culture & Heritage - encouraging creativity across all ages through high-quality artist-led classes and projects in arts & crafts, sewing, dressmaking, arts for wellbeing, cultural visits, exhibitions and events. In 2023 we took over delivery of the annual arts street party, Fitzrovia Fete from Pollock’s Toy Museum. We host community arts partners Camden Adult Learning, Fitzrovia Neighbourhood Association, Working Men's College, London Life Drawing, Art in the Village, Mini Mozart and Fitzrovia Arts Festival.
-
Seniors’ Services – improving physical and mental wellbeing through creative, fitness and social opportunities; including ballroom dancing, Zumba Gold, Open Age exercise class and an online poetry group.
-
Health & Wellbeing – free and affordable opportunities to improve physical health, including healthy cooking, yoga, mindfulness, art for wellness, women-only and men-only fitness classes and quarterly wellness days. Our wellbeing partners offer discounted or free places to their classes.

education and addiction
- FCC’s rooms were hired by 30 community groups/public bodies, 13 businesses, and 38 individuals, demonstrating the value of our facilities in the local area
Who we supported in 2023
We collected information on all existing and new FCC users in 2023, which was the first year where all our data was collated and handled on our Salesforce system as opposed to the paper- and Excel-based systems in previous years. Please note, we are reporting only on the complete data we hold, as some people choose not to share their full demography information with us.
Local Authority
We are pleased to report most FCC users are residents of either Camden or Westminster, who are our priority. We strive for a 50/50 split across the two boroughs, accepting variance according to the programmes on offer at the time. The number of Camden residents we supported dropped in 2023, as our work with Afghan refugees in bridging hotels wound down. We expect this to increase again in 2024, to reflect new partnerships and networks within Camden Council and its VCS. 8% of our userbase did not share their local authority information with us.
We have been surprised to find users travelling from other parts of London to attend our services. Much of the news of our activities has spread via word-of-mouth, meaning that many local residents are inviting their friends from other boroughs. With over double the users in 2023 than in 2022, our focus remains on our priority audience as we grow: low-income, disadvantaged or vulnerable Camden or Westminster residents who live within one mile of the community centre.

Gender
The gender breakdown of users in 2023 is about the same as in 2022, which remains heavily weighted towards the female side. However, after the pilot of our women’s programme in 2022-23, we have secured funding in 2024 for a men-only class and other activities which will help address the gender imbalance. 15% of our userbase did not share their gender identity with us.
Ethnicity
The vast majority of service users in 2023 were BAMER with 57% being from a broad range of ethnic identities. Just 26% identified as White - British. Our largest ethnic groups were Asian communities combined, at 33%, and after White - British, it was White – Other (16%) which includes Eastern & Western European. 24% of our userbase did not share their ethnicity with us.

Age groups
The largest segment of our userbase are children under 18, mostly under 5. We have a relatively even split among the other age groups, with nearly 20% consisting of over 50s, our second largest audience and users of our seniors’ programme. 20% of our userbase did not share their age with us.
2023 Evaluation of FCC users after attending activities for at least one term
We evaluate our services at the end of each term to measure their impact on residents’ lives. 97% agreed or strongly agreed that they felt more part of the Fitzrovia community as a result of attending our activities, with 86% feeling fitter and healthier, 77% less isolated and alone, and 97% feeling more positive about life.

THE FITZROVIA COMMUNITY CENTRE LTD
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES (continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
93% of users felt their health and wellbeing had improved after coming to FCC activities in 2023, and 89% felt more creative, 79% made new friends, 97% felt more motivated, and 93% felt they knew more about community activities and services locally.
A selection of quotes from the 2023 evaluation:
‘This was the first session that I joined at the FCC after a bereavement. I now feel part of the community and as well as feeling creative again I have made friends with some great people.’
‘I feel I had the opportunity to express myself, be myself, be free, be creative, I feel good and ready to get on with the rest of my week.’
‘At my peak. I always leave with an increased sense of well-being. At the end of each class, I feel very positive.’
‘I attended my first class 3 weeks ago, I didn’t know anyone locally and had never participated in any group fitness classes beforehand. Since then I’ve socialised with the women in the group, which really helped my confidence and have continued exercising even at home. I’ve felt so motivated, so welcomed and extremely grateful all due to these classes every week. I’ll be sure to continue in September and onwards.’
‘It is the only space I can carve for myself. I feel better and more connected to Fitzrovia community.’

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES (continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The results of the year’s operation are set out in the attached financial statements. The net movement in funds for the year resulted in a surplus of £38,724 with a surplus of £41,541 for 2022. The retained reserves at 31 December 2023 amounted to £102,990 and £79,105 for 2022 respectively.
Included in the retained reserves above is unrestricted funds of £56,742. The trustees have been aware of the need to comply with good practice guidelines on free reserves and The Fitzrovia Community Centre Ltd policy is included in the notes to the accounts.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The trustees have examined the major risks which The Fitzrovia Community Centre Ltd faces and believe that maintaining our free reserves at a reasonable level, and a strong bank balance, combined with our annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of further adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which we face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.
FUNDS AVAILABLE
The present level of funding, and the progress made in the first part of 2024, are adequate to support the continuation of the Company operations for the medium term, and the trustees consider the financial position of the Company to be satisfactory.
RESERVES POLICY
The proposed value of the charity’s reserves is six months’ running costs, including closure costs, although we are currently running below this. This is driven by the lead time involved in securing long-term future funding.
Reserves are made up of unrestricted funds. Unrestricted funds can be spent on the charity’s general charitable objectives as needed. The reserves policy will be reviewed annually in conjunction with the annual financial statements.
VOLUNTEERS
The Fitzrovia Community Centre Ltd recognises the significant contributions made by volunteers.

THE FITZROVIA COMMUNITY CENTRE LTD
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS’/TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The Directors, who are also the Trustees of the Company, are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company at the end of the year and of its financial activities during the year then ended. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable standards and statement of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the project will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The above report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime as set out in Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE FITZROVIA COMMUNITY CENTRE LTD
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
I report on the accounts of the charity, which are set out on pages 14 to 15.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The Company’s Directors, who are also the charity's trustees, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that although no audit is required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act), they have nevertheless concluded that an independent examination is desirable.
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 independent examiner’s report
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 examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention 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
-
prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1.2 Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern.
