## **FINSBURY PARK TRUST (REGISTERED NUMBER: 04599482)** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT 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 the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) (FRS102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' issued in July 2014 together with subsequent updates. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. 

It is also governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, which states "Finsbury Park Trust is a communityled, charitable agency that works in partnership with local residents, businesses, community groups, voluntary sector agencies and the three local councils to bring about lasting social, economic and environmental improvements for everyone in the Finsbury Park area. A key element of this vision is the ownership and management of Finspace as high quality premises, to incubate and support the voluntary and not-for-profit organisations in the early stages of their development." 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

All trustees are unremunerated and are voluntary.  New trustees are initially nominated by the by the Executive Board and then approved by the full Board. Trustees may serve a maximum of two consecutive terms of three years. Trustees may also co-opt up to five persons duly qualified to be a trustee at the first meeting of the Board after an Annual General Meeting. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

Finsbury Park Trust is a subscribing member of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO), Community Matters and Locality and receives a wide range of benefits and other support services, including training. Trustees and staff are encouraged to attend free workshops on good governance and charity accounting hosted by an accountancy firm, Mazars LLP and Russell Cooke LLP Solicitors.  During the year 2020-21, any training events attended by trustees or employees would have been held online due to the Coronovirus pandemic. 

## **Organisational structure** 

Finsbury Park Trust is a community organisation, registered as a charity and as a company limited by guarantee (without share capital) managed by a Board of Trustees. Its governing instrument is its Memorandum and Articles of Association. The trustees on the board represent 3 local residents (one each from Hackney, Haringey and Islington), 3 local councillors from the three boroughs, 3 voluntary sector representatives and 3 business representatives from local Traders Associations. There are still vacancies on the board for business representatives from local Traders Associations. All trustees are also directors of the charitable company for the purposes of the Companies Act. The names of the trustees who served during the year 2020/21 are listed on page 2. 

Trustees meet every two months and at an annual general meeting. They also gather for an away-day every two years. The away-day planned for 2020 was postponed. The Resources Committee (the Executive Board) comprising the Chair, Vice Chair and Treasurer meet every two months and have been delegated with the authority to make decisions. When required, members of the Asset Development Group have a joint meeting with the Executive Board. Monthly financial management information reports are produced that provide an update on the financial activities of the charity which are submitted to the Resources Committee and then to a full board meeting. The Resources Committee also deals with staffing issues (staff annual appraisal, pay review, annual leave and holiday cover) and general premises issues, including maintenance, health & safety and risk assessment. During the year 2020/21, it was not possible to have meetings in person and all board meetings took place virtually on-line. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. Finsbury Park Trust manages its risks in accordance with the Trust's risk management policy, reviewed annually and to avoid financial risk is on target to build reserves equivalent to six months commitments.

## **FINSBURY PARK TRUST (REGISTERED NUMBER: 04599482)** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

Finsbury Park Trust has five main objectives: 

- 1)  To create an infrastructure capable of reviewing and prioritising the vision and needs of Finsbury Park and to work with the three local councils and other service agencies to bring about lasting change. 

- 2)  To promote business, encourage enterprise and attract investment to Finsbury Park. 

- 3) To contribute to initiatives that will enhance community safety to help people in Finsbury Park feel safe and free from crime. 

- 4) To improve the quality of the built environment, the street scene and open spaces in Finsbury Park. 

- 5)  To encourage the Finsbury Park communities to feel proud of and celebrate its diversity. 

## **Objectives achieved and ongoing** 

- 1)  The board has been involved in discussion with the local authority and owners of adjoining properties about development plans for the premises and held consultation meetings with elected representatives. These consultation meetings are still in progress through the Asset Development Sub Group to make progress on the action plan and a Board of Trustees away-day will be held on 27[th] November this year. 

- 2)  Maintaining adequate rental income despite the rental voids and shortfall in rental income die to the pandemic. 

- 3)  To develop new projects, the trust was successful in its application for a grant from the European Commission through the Erasmus project, working with seven partners (see under new activities). 

- 4)  Preparations are underway to organise the 4[th] Finsbury Park Community Conference during 2022 (postponed from last year) and a steering committee has met on a few occasions during 2020/21. 

- 5)  The charity continued to work with and support the local Traders Associations, including taking the initiative to set up a new trader’s association for Seven Sisters Road in partnership with Town Centre Management Group and our executive director has been the interim chair of the Seven Sisters Road Traders Association. 

- 6)  The charity continued supporting the work of the Finsbury Park and Stroud Green Neighbourhood Plan Working Group. 

- 7) The charity has improved its marketing, having developed a new website and increased the use of social media. 

## **New activities and changes in organisation and ongoing activities (2020/21)** 

## 1) **Organisation changes** 

The board agreed to appoint the Manor House Development Trust to provide interim management support to the trust following the retirement of the executive director in January 2020 after 10 years in service. However, during the formal transition period, the centre had to close from 26[th] March 2020, following the first coronavirus lockdown. Although our executive director had retired on 1[st] February 2020, he continued to provide support to the trust on a voluntary basis and was re-employed part-time from 1[st] October 2020 to manage and oversee the delivery of the Erasmus project which also had to be suspended during the pandemic.

## **FINSBURY PARK TRUST (REGISTERED NUMBER: 04599482)** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES - CONTINUED** 

## **2) Coronavirus pandemic** 

The centre had to close twice during the coronavirus pandemic from 26[th] March 2020 until 6[th] July 2020 and again from 1[st] January 2021 until 6[th] April 2021. All activities ceased during this time in compliance with government instructions. In between the two lockdowns, most of the centre staff worked from home as there were very limited activities at the centre. Throughout the lockdown there was a considerable drop in income from office rents and room hire. The charity applied for an Additional Restrictions Grant from the Local Authority to make its financial position sustainable. 

## **3) Erasmus project** 

Our grant application to the European commission Erasmus+ program was successful and we received notification accordingly by the UK’s National Agency (British Council) in September 2019. The project called, ‘Weaving Webs of Stories’ involves working with seven partners from Bulgaria, Finland, Greece, Lithuania, Romania and Spain. Finsbury Park Trust will be the lead partner working in collaboration with the organisation Every Child an Achiever (ECAN) who are based in London, UK. The project aims to help young people improve their literacy skills and to address the growing threat of negative stereotypes, intolerance and prejudice against individuals and groups accentuated by the alarming rise in far-right movements in our country. The program would see our creative writing tutors and artists working with children from UK schools in years 5, 6 and 7 as part of an “after school” program. The project was due to have commenced on 1[st] January 2020 but because of the pandemic all activities were suspended during 2020/21 and so we were able to apply successfully to the National Agency for an extension of the project by one year. The schools activities resumed in April 2021 and we have successfully completed work with three schools. During the pandemic, all partners meeting took place virtually on Zoom. 

## **4) Community Energy Fund** 

We were able to apply successfully for a grant through the Community Energy Fund to replace our current heating and hot water system and replace it with renewable energy.  This grant to install solar panels was approved in November 2020 but the project had to be put on hold. The trust is a member of Islington Sustainable Energy Partnership and Community Energy London which meets monthly online. 

## **5) New Trustees and outgoing Trustees** 

We appointed two new trustees during 2020 and two new trustees in June 2021. Lawrence Singha was appointed as the Haringey resident representative and Anthonia Onigbode as the Hackney Voluntary Sector representative.  She is the COO and Chief Financial Officer of Hackney Cooperative Developments. She took over the role of treasurer from Ms. Isabel Tinsley. In June 2021, Ms. Elizabeth Hemmings was appointed as the Hackney resident representative and Ms. Polly Robbins as the business representative of Fonthill Road Traders. Ms. Susie Barson stepped down as trustee at the AGM held on 26[th] March 2021. The board wish to record its appreciation for services rendered by the outgoing trustees. We would like to report the sad loss of a former trustee Ms. Sally Billot, who died in November 2020. Sally was Haringey resident representative and was our vice chair from 2016 until 2020. 

## **6) Finspace - Community Resource Centre** 

During 2020/21, apart from the Finsbury Park Trust offices, the community charity hub was home to fifteen voluntary sector and not-for-profit organisations. The ground floor vacant shop unit will be offered to My Place project – managed by Manor House Development Trust which will focus on working with young people in Finsbury Park. All activities were suspended during 2020/21 and the meeting room has not been in use during the pandemic resulting in a loss of room hire income. We would especially like to thank the volunteers for their invaluable contribution to the running of the organisation and the delivery of the FinSpace reception service to centre staff and users.

## **FINSBURY PARK TRUST (REGISTERED NUMBER: 04599482)** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES - CONTINUED** 

## **7) Working with Traders - Business support** 

We continued to work closely with local traders and businesses. The Finsbury Park Town Centre Steering Group was set up by Islington Council to bring together local traders associations and businesses under one umbrella to coordinate town centre development work in Finsbury Park. Our director is involved with the Seven Sisters Road Traders Association and is Interim Chair. Due to the pandemic all activities were suspended. 

## **8)  Regeneration Panel & activities** 

The Regeneration Panel is an informal advisory panel accountable to the Board of Trustees and is chaired by Liz Hemmings, a Hackney resident representative on the board. It meets periodically and discusses topics relating to special themes - e.g. improvements outside the station, lobbying Network Rail & TFL and is co-ordinating the planning for the fourth Finsbury Park Regeneration Conference which was planned to be held in November 2019 at Parkwood Primary School, Hackney but was postponed indefinitely. 

## **9)  Finsbury Park (Open Events) Stakeholders Group - London Borough of Haringey** 

This Finsbury Park Stakeholders Group was set up by Haringey Council to invite local residents and community groups to submit views in response to Haringey Council by increasing the number of events held during week-ends in the park. Our chair and director have attended meetings of this working group since it was established and have participated in post events evaluation surveys and reporting back to the Stakeholders Group. 

## **10) Trustees Away Day** 

The last Trustees Away Day took place on 24th February 2018 and another Trustees Away Day is being held on 27[th] November 2021. 

## **11) Public Benefit** 

Finsbury Park Trust offers office space to charities and not-for-profit organisations at affordable rates and many of these charities benefit from renting space at a cost they can afford. This policy enables these charities to provide a public service to their users and clients, who live or work in Hackney, Haringey and Islington. 

## **GOING CONCERN** 

The Trustees believe the charity to be a going concern and are not aware of any material factors that would lead them to believe otherwise.

## **FINSBURY PARK TRUST (REGISTERED NUMBER: 04599482)** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS 1. Assets and liabilities** 

Tangible fixed assets were reduced from £2,200,124 last year to £2,149,028 this year. This reduction was attributable mainly to the amortisation charge on the building of £49,896 (i.e. 2% on the freehold valuation of £2,495,000). 

Current assets increased by £49,998 during the year including restricted funds, from £60,734 last year to £110,732 this year. This was partly due to an increase in debtors of £21,093 over the previous year, rising from £13,150 last year to £34,243 this year. Bank and cash balances have increased by £28,905 from £47,584 to £76,489 on ordinary funds and restricted funds. 

Current Liabilities - Creditors increased by £20,221 from £13,764 last year to £33,985 on all activities. 

## **2. Statement of financial activities (SOFA)** 

The net deficit in income (including restricted income) for the year is £21,319 (2020: £79,117) and is arrived at after charging amortisation on freehold buildings of £49,896 (2020: £49,896). The net surplus in income, before amortisation but including restricted income, is £28,577 (2020: deficit of £29,221). The net surplus in income, before amortisation and excluding restricted income is £18,577. The reasons for the improved situation are a) that £38,394 of unrestricted grants have been received this year, and b) a compensation payment of £30,000 was paid to an employee last year. 

## **3. Principal sources of funding and expenditure** 

Principal sources of funding included: - Grants 

- Rent and service income 

In order to support the key objectives of the charity, these resources were expended on: 

- Staff costs 

- Conferences and direct charitable expenditure 

- Office expenses 

- Premises costs 

- Governance costs 

## **4. Reserves Policy** 

Despite reduction in rental income in this and previous years, we have managed to maintain the level of reserves to the equivalent of six months normal expenditure. This area will continue to be under review via the Resources Committee and where appropriate recommendations will be made to the board. As described in last year’s accounts, we had been allocated a large grant from the European Commission of 168,000 Euros (£137,892) of which the trust’s share is 28,000 Euros (£19,304). We received 70% in December 2020 and the final instalment will be paid upon completion of the project in September 2022. 

## **5. Funds and subsidiary undertakings** 

The charity mainly has a general fund and on occasions operates a restricted fund to channel grants received towards specific expenditure. There were no subsidiary undertakings.

## **TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of Finsbury Park Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements 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 that period.  In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on a going-concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. 

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 statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

2. that the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. that the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard (FRS 102) applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland; or
