CHAIR'S OVERVIEW FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
For the Year Ended 31 March 2021
I am pleased to present Wheatley Hill Community Association's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ending 31st March 2021.
As reported for the year ending 31st March 2020 the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic resulted in the cessation of all footfall related income and the closure of our Greenhills Centre to the public from 23rd March 2020.
In accordance with government regulations, particularly regarding Covid security measures, our Centre was able to re-open to the public for a total of 12 weeks in the year ending 31 March 2021 but only on a limited basis because of the need for social distancing and limits on numbers who could attend events and activities. This had a significant impact on income whilst expenditure remained substantially unaffected, apart from the reduction in staff costs because of the government's furlough scheme.
Following discussions with our Operations Manager, kitchen staff and volunteers, and with their agreement and unstinting support we were able to continue and expand our Meals on Wheels service and respond to a much-increased demand from those who, because of age or underlying health condition had to self-isolate and become housebound; and cut off from family and friends. Our geographical outreach extended to Sedgefield in the south, Bishop Middleham and Cornforth to the west, Haswell Plough to the north and Easington, Horden and Blackhall to the east. At times we were delivering over 900 meals per month - almost 3 times more than prior to the pandemic. We were still delivering over 600 meals per month at the end of the financial year.
THE FUTURE
Throughout most of the year ending 31 March 2021 there was either lockdown or tiered restrictions which severely limited the access to our Centre and consequently footfall related revenue. As at 31 March 2021 the Centre had been in lockdown since early January 2021 with no realistic prospect of limited re-opening for several months. As with the year, ending 31 March 2020, making reliable forecasts about the 2021-22 financial year remained very difficult. Compared to this time last year there is now an expanding vaccination programme which hopefully will allow more 'normal' operation of our Centre and what it can offer to our community and to try and re-establish some semblance of 'normal operation'.
We remain committed to doing what we can, subject to government regulations to keep the Association viable and sustainable throughout and beyond the pandemic. Our way ahead remains that of continuing to provide affordable services, particularly Meals on Wheels and to meet the expressed and emergent needs of our local community; and to continue the relentless task of increasing our income from our own endeavours and to seek restricted revenue funding which will allow us to recover some of our core costs, survive and sustain.
Further information and detail are given in the TRUSTEES REPORT below.

Greenhills Centre - extension and original Miners' Hall building
The Association's Greenhills Centre remains dedicated to delivering benefits, services and activities to the local community of Wheatley Hill and the surrounding area.
Hopefully as we advance into the year ending 31 March 2022 and beyond, we can progressively re-open and provide a fuller range of services, benefits, activities and events for children and young people; adults; young families; and the elderly.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to 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).
Impact of the pandemic
The overriding impact of the pandemic and the consequent government restrictions was compared with previous years the almost total cessation of footfall related income in the year ending 31 March 2021. We were in lockdown at the start of the year and remained closed to the public until August when we had limited and restricted access to our gym. The Tier restrictions came into force leading to closure in October/November 2020; a brief period in December when we could be open but with restrictions; followed by lockdown from with the start of January 2021, which was still in force at the 31 March 2021. We only had restricted opening for a total of 12 weeks from August until early January 2021. We were able to open our gym and run 3 luncheon clubs for our elderly; but with restrictions on the numbers of attendees.
This has been an exceptional year. We entered the financial year on the 1st April 2020 with Covid 19 restrictions and a national lockdown in place which was also the situation on the 31st March 2021 when the year ended.
Ordinarily this report would:
-
Covers the benefits WHCA provided across the year through the continuation of existing activities and the introduction of new activities and events funded from its own self-generated income and with the help of restricted funding from a number of funding bodies.
-
State our Vision and what we managed to achieve against each of our high-level Objectives for the year ending 31 March 2021.
-
Comments on the risks to WHCA that were identified for the year ending 31 March 2021 and how these were mitigated.
-
Identify the risks that we believe could arise in the next and subsequent financial years.
The onset of the pandemic and its consequences completely changed the emphasis and our High-level Objectives regarding what we had to achieve across the year (and for subsequent years).
Consequently, these became:
-
To seek funding to help sustain the Association throughout the pandemic and meet its overhead costs and to maintain and develop whatever self-generated income could be achieved and sustained.
-
To maintain a level of reserves that would enable the Association to remain viable and sustainable beyond the pandemic.
For the future these will have to take account not only of the pre-pandemic level of multiple deprivation in Wheatley Hill and surrounding area but also the effect the pandemic has had on deprivation and the general physical and mental health; and emotional wellbeing of the local population.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims
Charitable objects
As stated in our Memorandum and Articles of Association the charitable purpose of WHCA is: 'To promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Wheatley Hill and district without distinction of sex or of political, religious or other opinions by associating the local authorities, voluntary organisations and the inhabitants in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure-time occupation with the object of improving the condition of life for the said inhabitants.'
Vision and high-level Objectives
With the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic at virtually the end of the previous financial year our High-level Objectives given below were supplanted by the need to continue to remain viable and sustainable to serve our community and deliver services and benefits throughout and after the period of the pandemic.
Our vision for WHCA remains unchanged and stems directly from our Charitable Objects: To be sustainable for the longer term and continue to provide and develop services and benefits that meet the needs of Wheatley Hill and our local community.
-
Our vision remains underpinned by a number of High-level Objectives which are to:
-
Maintain and extend the range of benefits we provide to meet the needs of our community;
-
Continue to engage with and involve our community so that we recognise and respond to meet their expressed and emergent needs, and to agree priorities with regard to what they would like from their community centre;
-
Seek funding from revenue grants and self-generated income, i.e. from our own endeavours which will help us to develop and deliver projects to meet community priorities;
-
Maintain our robust process of preparing an annual budget forecast for the start of each financial year and regularly reviewing our prevailing financial position vs. the budget forecast as we move through the financial year and taking prompt corrective action should the need arise; and
-
Maintain tight financial control of expenditure regardless of whether from restricted or unrestricted funds.

Profile of Wheatley Hill
Wheatley Hill and surrounding area is the community into which we deliver a wide range of services and benefits in response to the expressed and emergent needs of our community.
Wheatley Hill is an ex-mining village in the east of County Durham with a population of c. 3050[1] It is part of the Trimdon and Thornley division of Durham County Council which covers Wingate, Wheatley Hill and Thornley and has a total population of 11850[2] ..

WHEATLEY HILL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Of the population of Wheatley Hill 2750 (90.3%, compared to an England average of 20%) are living in the most deprived 20% of areas of England by Indices of Deprivation[3] . In terms of health deprivation 98.6% of the population is affected compared with an England average of 19.6%[4] ..
Many of Wheatley Hill's population use our Centre regularly. We also draw in a significant number of users from the wider area and beyond.
Wheatley Hill can be currently characterised as a community with:
-
25.9% of children aged 0-19 are in relative low-income families compared with 19% across England.
-
26% of children are living in poverty compared with 17% across England[5] ..
-
An overall crime rate that is above the average for England.
-
32.3% of population have a long-term illness compared with 17% across England[6] .
-
41.2% of working age people have no qualifications compared with 22.5% across England[7] .
-
32% of people aged 16-74 years are in full-time employment compared with 39% across England[8] ..
-
32% of households have no car compared with 26% across England[9] .
Prior to the pandemic it was well established that there were issues and challenges relating to the physical and mental health; and to the emotional wellbeing of our community[10] .
These data show that:
-
In terms of health and wellbeing; and mental health in particular, there is an estimated 12% prevalence of depression in the population of the Thornley and Wheatley Hill Neighbourhood of the Sedgefield parliamentary constituency. This compares unfavourably with the estimated national prevalence of 9.8%. Surrounding constituencies show a similar estimated prevalence.
-
In terms of serious mental illness, the prevalence is estimated to be 1% compared with the national prevalence 0.9%.
Observationally, from our targeted work during the pandemic with our Meals on Wheels service and Family Support Model pilot project we have seen that the issues and challenges faced by our community have worsened because of the pandemic, lockdowns and tier restrictions.
This observation is endorsed by a survey recently published in 2020 by Durham County Council[11] in response to the Covid 19 pandemic. It provides an overview of current and future needs across the county. With regard to mental health and emotional wellbeing it summarises the position as:
-
Mental health and emotional wellbeing across the life course can be severely impacted by COVID-19 Stay at Home restrictions and lockdown.
-
Children and young people can be affected due to lack of support from schools and social networks.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
-
Adults can be impacted due to stress anxiety, fear of the unknown, lack of access to family support mechanisms and services.
-
People experiencing bereavement can also suffer from mental ill health.
-
Those on the front line dealing with the pandemic can suffer from PTSD and other mental health conditions.
-
Individuals who have had COVID-19 can suffer neurological impairment and PTSD.
-
Older people can experience fear anxiety and stress by being one of the vulnerable and shielded population and fear of illness and death.
-
Modelling by Tees, Esk Valley and Weardale suggest increases in demand on services to support mental ill health across the system over 5-years.
Loneliness and social isolation are key issues in our community and are evident across the full age spectrum but particularly amongst our older adults, some of whom have suffered bereavements and struggled being separated from family and friends.
The above gives clear indication of the change in local needs to which the Association will have to factor in to its ongoing and emergent programmes and projects for our local community.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Delivering charitable benefits
Because of the impact of the pandemic and government restrictions our ability to make full use of the indoor facilities at our Greenhills Centre was severely curtailed or not allowed. Where we could we made use of our outdoor facilities, consistent with complying with the Covid-safe regulations. Our facilities for the benefit of our community are:
Indoor:
-
A well equipped kitchen from which hot and cold meals are prepared for our café and for our Meals on Wheels service to the local community; and in-house catered functions.
-
Community gym for both cardio-vascular and strength training.
-
Licensed function suite for weddings, parties and social functions for our community and which also serves as a theatre for the range of children oriented productions we provide.
-
Our well equipped children's and young family's play room.
-
Our young children's soft play and 'play and learn' literacy rooms.
-
A library/resource room with IT.
-
Meeting rooms.
-
Office space available to rent/lease.
Outdoor:
-
Community garden
-
Multi Use Games Arena (MUGA).
-
Football pitch.
-
Young children's playpark.
-
Young children's sandpit.
We also sub-lease a small area of land to Woodcraft for Landscapes, a local organisation providing agriculturally based occupation for people with learning and other difficulties.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities
Public benefit
WHCA exists to be responsive to the expressed and emergent needs of our local community and to provide benefits in various forms for the inhabitants of Wheatley Hill and surrounding area. In order to achieve this, we have to draw on two principal sources of funding:
-
Our own endeavours, e.g. catering - including our Meals on Wheels service, and for events and community social functions; our community gym and venue hire.
-
Revenue and capital grants from funders which enabled us to deliver specific programmes and projects to meet the expressed and emergent needs of our community and from some of which we can derive venue hire or a project management/administration fee.
It was particularly helpful when some of our pre-pandemic funders allowed us to re-purpose their unused funding to help us meet the needs of our local community and surrounding area - particularly those having to self-isolate.
During the year ending 31 March 2021 and consistent with maintaining Covid safety for our staff and volunteers and the local community, the benefits we were able to deliver were:
For our elderly
We have operated our Meals on Wheels service since 2010 offering the elderly and less mobile members of our local community a midday meal seven days a week.
At the start of the pandemic lockdown on 23 March 2020 we consulted with our Operations Manager, kitchen staff, kitchen volunteer and volunteer delivery drivers and with their goodwill and determination we decided to try and keep our Meals on Wheels service operational anticipating that there would be increased demand for our service.
Within a very short timescale, as many went into self-isolation of their own volition or by persuasion from their families, we found we were being called upon to deliver meals on a regular basis to clients as far south as Sedgefield; as far north as Haswell Plough; as far west as Bishop Middleham; and as far east as Easington, Horden and Peterlee. With the closure of Wheatley Hill school one of their staff volunteered to drive and deliver meals into the Trimdon and Sedgefield areas. At times we were delivering c. 900 meals per month with 3 delivery runs per day. The demand eased a little as we moved into the Tier arrangements but by the end of the financial year, we were still delivering c. 600 meals per month.
Our Operations Manager, working largely from home ran the service taking orders, dealing with new clients and, arranging supplies and stock for the kitchen with the Centre's incoming calls diverted to her mobile telephone, i.e. a serious intrusion to her home life.
We put in place Covid safe working practices to protect our clients, staff and volunteers. Our kitchen staff prepared and cooked the meals, packaged them into containers and with our volunteer drivers, delivered them to our clients.
We kept our service operational throughout the financial year and into the next thanks to the unstinting efforts of our staff and volunteers.
As the government's Tier arrangements came into effect, we were able to run 3 Luncheon Club sessions which were much appreciated by our elderly some of whom regarded themselves as 'prisoners in solitary confinement' during the strict lockdown.

WHEATLEY HILL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities
For adults
The main benefit for adults was access to our gym albeit with restricted numbers to ensure Covid safety and for only 12 weeks in total in the financial year. With local artist Ruth Mary Johnson we ran a letter writing project. ‘Write to reply’ largely for Meals on Wheels clients aimed at combating loneliness. The project was funded by East Durham Creates.
For children and young families
The main benefit was cooking and providing meals for Wheatley Hill primary school to distribute to those receiving free school meals. There was a similar arrangement with the local church and the Parish Council to distribute meals into the community. Also with Ruth Johnson we developed a ‘Play in a Box’ project for children and families in Summer 2020. This was also funded by East Durham Creates.
Our children and young people want activities which not only address physical activity needs but also social interaction amongst their peers. Right at the end of the financial year and in response to a high level of community demand, plus the increasing national confidence in the effectiveness of the vaccination programme we took the view that we should aim to restart outdoor sports for 5-11yrs 2 nights a week from late April. Advance booking for these sessions was rapidly oversubscribed.
FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial position
Income and Expenditure
For the year ending 31 March 2021 our total Incoming Resources amounted to £220,378 and exceeded our Expenditure of £167,903 by £52,475.
Much of this relates to a range of grants, including the government's Business Support grant, administered by Durham County Council.
There was a range of grants available to which we successfully applied in order to help us keep our Meals on Wheels service in operation and meet our standing overhead costs. A number of funders who had awarded funding in previous years allowed some unused funding to be re-purposed to help us deal with the financial consequences of the pandemic and gross reduction in footfall related income. Grant income at £144,625 includes the government's Business Support grant (which is treated as unrestricted) amounted to 65.63% of Incoming Resources.
Funding sources
The restricted revenue funding we were awarded for the year ending 31 March 2021 amounted to £120,487.
This funding, was for the benefit of our local community, either directly by supporting our meals on Wheels on Wheels service; or by supporting our overhead costs (including some salary support and utilities in particular). Our total funds carried forward to the year ending 31 March 2022 amounted to £196,831, compared to £144,356 brought forward from last year. This increase is a reflection of when the grants were received in the year ending 31 March 2021.
We were extremely grateful for this funding support which we received from Durham County Council (Area Action Partnership, and County Councillor's Neighbourhood Budget); Believe Housing; Charities Aid Foundation; County Durham Community Foundation; Comic Relief; the Co-op; Coalfields Regeneration Trust; Durham Community Action; Hadrian Trust; Joseph Chandy; National Lottery; Wheatley Hill Parish, Ballinger Charitable Trust and AVIVA. Without this funding support we would have been unable to continue with our Meals on Wheels service.
This augmented the funding we carried forward from previous financial years.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
Based on our previous experience and the impact of the pandemic we segregated our unrestricted funding and created a number of Unrestricted Designated funds. We now have a general free reserves fund and a number of designated funds to be used primarily for a specific purpose as determined by WHCA.
Our designated funds at present principally cover recovery from the effects of the pandemic (the government's Business Support/Continuity Grant), an Emergency Reserve and a Delivery fund.
-
The first will be used into the future to support the Association as we endeavour to recover our footfall related income. As of 31 March 2021, it amounted to £22,238.
-
The second is to meet unforeseeable demands for expensive repairs which need immediate action. We experienced this some years back with a failure of our lift. Without a rapid repair to the lift we would have been unable to keep our Centre operational. The repair cost c.£6K and there was no prospect of seeking grant funding. As of 31 March 2021 it amounted to £8,134.
-
The third accumulates the delivery charges from Meals on Wheels which are used to pay for the hire purchase costs of the delivery van (and its eventual replacement) and its annual operating costs. As of 31 March 2021 it amounted to £4,689.
Our unrestricted (free) reserves cover:
- Any short-term gap between spending and income. 2. The costs of a controlled dissolution of the Association.
The second of the above sets the level of reserves required.
With the threat posed by the pandemic it became quite pressing to have a more rigorous evaluation of the reserves we should hold to cover winding-up of the Association. The outcome was that we should have unrestricted reserves in the region of £55K to £60K. This should cover for a 6-month run-down period the costs of employment and redundancy payments for staff, including employer pension contribution; insurance and utilities costs; and the hire purchase liabilities for the Meals on Wheels delivery van.
At 31st March 2021 our free reserves amounted £25,251. Depending on what is available at the time of dissolution this figure would be augmented by any unused designated funding.
Going concern
Subject to being able to deal with and mitigate the impact of the risks identified below the trustees regard the Association as a going concern that operates in a deprived area with limited opportunities for price increases for services and activities to provide substantial and long term revenue funding to help meet our core costs.

WHEATLEY HILL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The principal risks identified for the year ending 31 March 2021and their respective outcomes are given in TABLE 2 below.
RISK
WHCA cannot generate sufficient income to ensure its viability and sustainability following the Coronavirus pandemic in the year ending 31 March 2021 and beyond. Uncertain when the Centre can economically re-open to local users and restore footfall related income.
One or more of the Meals on Wheels cohort infected with Coronavirus.
Slow return to pre-lockdown 'normal' operation.
Difficulty in meeting the cost of employment of the Operations Manager as a result of insufficient incoming resources, particularly from Restricted funding.
OUTCOME
Did not occur as grant income held up throughout the year.
Lockdown in force at 31 March 2021 and set to continue into 2021-22 and no footfall related income apart from that over the 12 weeks when the Centre was able to open in the second half of 2020. Meals on Wheels service continued to operate. Each of our two kitchen staff, on separate occasions, had to self-isolate but we managed to continue to operate and provide our Meals on Wheels service.
Not achieved because of re-imposition of lockdown in January 2021.
Did not occur as grant income held up throughout the year.
TABLE 2 - Principal risks identified for 2020-21 and outcomes.
FUTURE PLANS
Objectives for the year ending 31 March 2022.
The abrupt impact of the Coronavirus pandemic and the consequent lockdowns and restrictions our future objectives became:
-
To pursue all relevant sources of funding to enable us to continue our Meals on Wheels service and
-
- to meet the increased demands from a much wider area.
-
To seek funding that would enable us to meet our establishment overhead costs throughout and
-
beyond the pandemic.
-
To ensure that we maintained a level of reserves that would enable us to remain viable and to be able
-
- to sustain the Association through and beyond the pandemic.
In the hope that the lockdown and restrictions ease as the vaccination programme provides increasing immunity in the first half of the year ending 31 March 2022, our underlying objectives will be to:
-
Seek other sources of room rent/venue hire.
-
Seek longer term revenue funding for projects for our community and from which we can recover core costs/overheads.
-
Maintain a full-time Operations Manager.
-
Maintain paid staffing levels.
-
Increase the number of volunteers.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Managing through the Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions
Following the 23 March 2020 lockdown WHCA suspended regular Board Meetings because of the need for several members to self-isolate. With the support of our kitchen and MOW staff; and volunteer drivers this group and the Operations Manager had elected to try and keep the Meals on Wheels service operational despite Covid-19.
With the agreement of the Board one of the Director/Trustees acted as a Managing Director to keep the Board informed and to ensure there was a line of responsibility between the Board and the Operations Manager who was running all aspects of the Meals on Wheels service. This was essentially an extension of the line management support provided by the same Director to the Operations Manager in previous nonCovid -19 times. This arrangement continued throughout the financial year.
Governing document
Wheatley Hill Community Association is registered as a charity with the Charities Commission and is incorporated as a company limited by guarantee with Companies House. WHCA is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association which incorporate its charitable objects.
Membership is open to anyone over the age of 18 with the liability of agreeing to contribute £1 in the event of the charity having to be wound up.
Each trustee/director, including the Chair, is required to stand for re-election each year at the AGM. The board can have up to 12 trustees/directors, some of whom can be co-opted.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
WHCA normally seeks to recruit trustees locally as this maintains strong links with the community and its needs. Trustees with a professional background or specific expertise and experience, e.g. management, finance, legal are usually drawn from a wider area.
The aim is to have a Board which collectively has a wide ranging level of local knowledge and involvement, experience and professional expertise to inform its governance and decision making; and the awareness to know when it will need external advice.
Organisational structure
The Board of trustees has the ultimate responsibility for what WHCA does and how it does it; and to ensure compliance with its governing document, the law and prevailing legislation and regulations.
WHCA employs a paid staff (currently the full-time Operations Manager and 7 part time staff) and a number of volunteers all of whom are managed by the Operations Manager. The paid staff cover catering, reception/administration, caretaking and cleaning.
The Operations Manager has a delegated responsibility from the Board for the general management of the Centre. She is also the Designated Premises Supervisor and has a personal responsibility to comply with the requirements of the Licensing Act. Consequently the final decision on what can or cannot be done on the premises with regard to the sale of alcohol and how this may limit which function/events bookings we are able to accept rests with the Operations Manager and when necessary guidance and advice will be sought from the licensing authorities to ensure that the DPS and the premises licence are not put at risk.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Induction and training of new trustees
WHCA's normal practice with regard to the induction and training of new trustees is to invite a prospective trustee to attend 3 Board meetings so they can familiarise themselves with what we do and how we do it in order to achieve our charitable objects. It also provides the opportunity for the Board to respond to any questions as they arise and to advise where specific information can be obtained - usually from the Charity Commission's publications or their website. In addition WHCA has an induction pack covering:
-
The Association and its aims.
-
What is expected of a trustee in terms of responsibilities and personal qualities.
-
How the Association operates.
A prospective new member was close to joining the board when the Coronavirus pandemic and its restrictions took effect.
Wider network
An essential part of our wider network is our relationship with local County Councillors, Wheatley Hill Parish Council and with our local County Council through the East Durham Area Action Partnership.
We also have established relationships with local schools. We were grateful to the Head of Wheatley Hill Primary school who provided a member of staff to support our Meals on Wheels deliveries and the distribution of meals to those on free school meals. This enabled us to expand our MOW outreach and accommodate a much larger client base because of the pandemic and the restrictions.
In ordinary times we have relationships with neighbourhood policing, Wheatley Hill Mothers Club, Woodcraft for Landscapes, and Wheatley Hill History Club.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Future risks
The significant future risks to the viability and sustainability of the Association and the Centre are given in TABLE 3 below.
RISK COMMENT WHCA cannot generate sufficient income to ensure Two principal factors will underpin the mitigation its viability and sustainability following the of this risk: Coronavirus pandemic in the year ending 31 March -The continuing leasing of rooms by Wheatley Hill 2021 and beyond.

Slow return to pre-lockdown 'normal' operation. The effect of this risk will be dependent on external factors over which the Centre has little control; 'Normal' could become a new normal with footfall, income (and expenditure) remaining depressed; and reinforcing the need for continuing grant support. Difficulty in meeting the cost of employment of the The effects of this risk will be dependent on Operations Manager as a result of insufficient external factors over which the Centre has little incoming resources, particularly from Restricted control. funding. The principal mitigation for this risk is to continue to seek longer term restricted grant support from which we can recover core costs; and from self-generated income from our own endeavours
TABLE 3 - Principal risks identified for 2021-22.
So far the various sources of funding to help during the Coronavirus pandemic should enable the Centre to remain viable and sustainable for the coming year and hopefully beyond.
WHCA operates in an area of high multiple deprivation and there is virtually no scope to increase prices and increase our self-generated income. The Coronavirus pandemic accentuates this reality.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WHEATLEY HILL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Wheatley Hill Community Association ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the 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 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 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 matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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 methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
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.

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.
Freehold property - 2% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
