FOUNDRY HOUSE COMMUNITY CENTRE, PEMBROKE LTD REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

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 December 2024. 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims

The Charity's objects are:

To promote the benefit of all who live and/or work in the Town of Pembroke (as designated by the electoral boundary) without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions, by associating together the said inhabitants and the local authorities, voluntary and other organizations in a common effort to advance education, to improve the physical and economic conditions of life in the area of benefit and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure-time occupation. The Charity shall be non-party in politics and non-sectarian in religion.

Aims

2024 continues to be busy with volunteer activity. We had resignations from Mr Pete Coleman, Mrs Christine Gwyther and Mr James Ramage. Foundry House and St Oswald's enterprises continue to prosper.

Bookings during 2024 remain stable with around 60 individuals and organisations using the facilities. The extension remains a project with the prospect of finding grants which will enable completion. The trustees are also in discussions with Pembrokeshire Pride with a view to them taking on the extension project, enabling them to have a permanent home and lively hub.

Report From St Oswald's Community Garden

What a difference a year makes! Last year's rain made gardening difficult and kept visitors away. This year, with more sunshine, the garden has flourished. Our potatoes, rhubarb, peas, beans, tomatoes, and cucumbers are thriving, and the apple trees are heavy with fruit - a happy harvest ahead! The garden is full of colour, with nasturtiums, lavender, and sweet william brightening every corner. Wildlife and pollinators, including a resident badger, are making regular appearances.

We held a successful Plant Sale-thank you to everyone who donated, bought plants, or simply stopped by. Funds raised go towards essentials like mulch and timber for raised beds, though we still rely on donations and reuse wherever possible.

We said goodbye to two dedicated volunteers, Lesley and Andrew, who moved closer to family. Their absence is deeply felt, but their contributions won't be forgotten.

We're always keen for new helpers - no experience necessary, just a love of being outdoors or enjoying a cuppa in the shed.

Thanks as always to ATEB for allowing us to use the garden space. With fewer hands and many of us getting older, we'd love to see a new generation step in and keep this special place thriving. For now, we'll turn our thoughts to harvest-and planning for next year. We continue to open on a Thursday, weather permitting.

Holyland Woods

After a 12-month period of notice, the Holyland Woods subgroup was dissolved at the 2024 AGM. It was decided to return the liability to the owners of the woods which we hope to complete in 2025

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF FOUNDRY HOUSE COMMUNITY CENTRE, PEMBROKE LTD

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Foundry House Community Centre, Pembroke Ltd ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024.

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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

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

  3. 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

  4. 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.
