Patrons are individuals over 18 years of age who have paid the appropriate TCA subscription or have been awarded Life Membership for exceptional service to the Association. Each Affiliate Group has one representative and, as such, that person is eligible for Membership and to be elected to the Management Committee.

The Company is operated through a Board of Directors, the Officers (Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Treasurer) of which have regular contact with the Centre Manager who is a paid employee. The Board meets not less than quarterly. Minor and routine operating decisions are made by the Officers and reported on at the next Board meeting.

SECTION 2 – ORGANISATION

The Management Committee comprises Honorary Officers and the following: representatives of Affiliated Groups; Trading Subsidiary Management Committee; Fareham Borough Council; and Patrons of the Association. While the Management Committee retains overall responsibility for the Association, it delegates certain aspects of its day-to-day management to six sub-committees and to paid employees. All sub-committees, working parties and the Centre Manager report to the Management Committee as shown in the following organisation chart. The Management Committee meets at least four times each year. All decisions are made by a simple majority at a quorate committee meeting.

The House Management Sub-Committee is responsible for exercising management control over the maintenance of buildings and contents and services relating to them.

The Association offers an occasional bar as part of its ancillary services. This facility is managed by the Association’s wholly owned subsidiary company, TCA Enterprises Ltd, of which the Association is one of the two Directors. The TCA Enterprises Ltd Management Committee is staffed from Members of the Association.

The Policy Sub-Committee is responsible for reviewing Association policy and ensuring that it is adequately recorded, listed and regularly reviewed. All revisions/additions to Association policy require authorisation by the Management Committee.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT

The Management Committee is responsible for preparing the Annual Report of the company and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the Management Committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year that 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.

SECTION 7 – OBJECTS, POWERS AND POLICIES

OBJECTS

The objects for which the Charitable Company is established are:

To promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Titchfield and district and that part of the Borough of Fareham, West of the A32 and Newgate Lane, together with the Electoral District of Curbridge 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 organisations 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 objects of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.

To establish or secure the establishment of a Community Centre and to maintain and manage the same, or to co-operate with any local statutory authority in the maintenance and management of such a Centre, for activities promoted by the Company in furtherance of the above objects.

To promote such other charitable purposes as may from time to time be determined and that in the attainment of the said objects the Company shall be non-party in politics and non-sectarian in religion.

POWERS

TCA is permitted, by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, to engage in any lawful activity as shall further its charitable objects and may invest money not immediately required for its objects in such investments, securities or property as it thinks fit.

POLICIES FOR FURTHERANCE OF OBJECTS

It is the policy of the Company to provide inexpensive facilities for all, further education classes and social and leisure activities for the benefit of the inhabitants of its area of benefit. The extensive facilities also permit the hire of rooms for private meetings or functions at very competitive prices.

The various rooms and facilities of the Community Centre are available for hire by any individual or organisation, subject to the Association's conditions of hire and completion of its hire agreement. Hire rates are set in accordance with the Association’s Charging Policy, which is reviewed annually. Hire rates are also reviewed annually to ensure that the income generated is sufficient to meet all expenses incurred in providing the Community Centre, and to maintain a financial reserve against future uncertainties. The hire rates adopted for the year are listed at Appendix 1.

The major aspects of the Company’s activities and policies are overseen by the Association’s subcommittees, as listed previously. Regular sub-committees are governed by standing orders. These are reviewed annually by the Centre Manager and Chairman and as required by each sub-committee. All revisions to standing orders require the approval of the Management Committee.

Short-term sub-committees or working parties, formed for specific purposes, are governed by Terms of Reference approved by the Management Committee.

The Association's documented policy statements comprise: Charging Policy; Complaints Policy & Procedure; Document Control/Retention Policy; Equal Opportunities; Financial Controls; Financial Reserves; Health & Safety; Hire Agreement & Conditions of Hire; Major Contracts Review Policy; Oasis Youth Centre Safeguarding Policy for Young People; Policy for Enforcing No-Smoking Legislation; Children and Vulnerable Adults Safeguarding Policy; Policy for the Supply of Alcohol; Policy Implementation ~ Spot Checking; Policy Review Schedule; Standing Orders; Storage Policy; Training Policy; CCTV Policy and Wages Review Policy.

RESERVES

The Management Committee is mindful of the need to demonstrate sound operational and financial management and ensure that its activities are in keeping with current strategic objectives. The Community Association also recognises the need to secure the viability of the Association beyond the immediate future. To provide a reliable service over the longer term, it must be able to absorb setbacks and take advantage of change and opportunity. To provide for this, the Association has established and maintains a financial reserve against future uncertainties. The Association’s policy is to have as its target a reserve equal to at least six months running costs, together with the costs of redundancy, loans, funds held for user groups, and any similar liability. In accordance with the above criteria, the Management Committee has set the reserve target at £95,000, net of loans, etcetera, for the year beginning 1 February 2023.

MANAGEMENT OF RISK

The Community Association is aware of its responsibility to effectively mitigate the major risks to which the Charitable Company is exposed and to ensure that its aims and objectives are not under threat. A review process exists and is regularly used to ensure that all significant risks are identified. The review covers governance, operational, financial and external risks and compliance with law and regulation. The system of continuous review is dealt with by a number of sub-committees, meeting on a regular basis, reporting back to the Management Committee. Where risks are identified the Management Committee seeks to take appropriate action and establish systems to mitigate the risks where necessary.

SECTION 8 - REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES AND DEVELOPMENTS

The Committee is pleased to report a good year, with groups and individual hirers continuing to use the Association’s facilities. Hirings have continued well, despite some losses as reported last year due to the pandemic, and we have seen a huge demand for occasional hirings for celebrations, parties etc. with the bars doing extremely well. The massive rise in energy prices have, of course, taken their toll.

As we describe in Section 2, the Association’s activities are managed by a number of sub-committees under the Management Committee. These, with support and guidance from the staff in the office, provide the powerhouse of the Association but particularly are the reason why this truly is a Community Association. The representation and contribution from a wide cross-section of Community Centre users demonstrate that we support a diverse range of activities in delivering a service sensitive to our users’ needs. However, we do rely on participation and feedback from user groups to maintain this, and we are striving to encourage a greater participation in this to provide better management oversight of our operations.

We pay credit to our User Groups who continue to serve their members and, in particular, their own committees which keep them going.

TCA Promotions working party, under ‘new management” have begun again to develop awareness of the Centre in the village of Titchfield and beyond with a new series of ‘Bingo Afternoons’. These have proved very popular. We continue to attend and support the Remembrance Service, with our caretaker, Steve Schomberg laying the wreath on behalf of the Association this year. Many other village activities as mentioned in previous reports have still not recovered/restarted due to the pandemic.

The annual Titchfield Art & Craft Show in April was, again, a huge success and the Committee were again able to donate the tremendous sum of £6,500 to the Association, as well as other sums to local organisations. Our thanks go to the Committee and to our staff who helped make the event go so smoothly. Pauline Steel’s Tea Dances continue to flourish, and as a result they raised £4,289 for the Association, and her Come Dancing monthly events raised £3,250.

We were able to install a new boiler for the Haven side of the building with help from Cllr Sara Pankhurst’s Hampshire County Council Grant. We replaced the Scouts’ and Garage kitchens with help from a bequest from Sepha Wood and a grant from Fareham Borough Council respectively. The Hire Charges have been increased by 10% in line with inflation.

The Centre still suffers with the problem of being an old building with regard to electrical, plumbing and defects, but this is being ably managed by our Manager and Caretakers.

SECTION 9 – REVIEW OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND TRANSACTIONS

The Management Committee considers the financial position of TCA to be satisfactory. The Association’s net assets of £108,787 recorded at 31 January 2023, are adequate to meet its obligations and support its aspirations. TCA recorded a deficit of £16,278 in the year to 31 January 2023. This was a sound and generally expected outcome, covering as it did a high level of planned refurbishment and maintenance. The performance of TCA Enterprises Limited was outstandingly good, with a surplus of £14,096 generated in the year.

SECTION 10 – PEOPLE

Our Manager, Mary-Kate Smith, has continued to work extremely hard to do all the things we require from her! She has obtained several new bookings, whilst keeping the Centre running smoothly, managing the Staff and continuing to deal with a number of building and logistical challenges. She has been tremendously supported by our Administrative Officers, Sue Keenan, and Claire McGrath, Administrative Assistants Helen Osborn and Michelle Woodman and our caretakers Sally Parrant, who is also Maintenance Supervisor, Rod Steel and Steve Schomberg.

The Centre office activities vary considerably during the year and, as well as managing our front desk, user bookings and paying the bills, the office staff also act as first point of contact for Fareham Borough and Hampshire County Councils and, accordingly, all the necessary licensing and regulatory administration which appears to grow year on year.

My thanks go to the entire team.

The Chairman is supported by Vice-Chair, Sandi Jones and Treasurer, Peter Mills, and together we constitute the Executive of the Association. The Chairman wishes to record her thanks to Sandi and Peter for their support to her.

Peter Mills has continued in the role of Treasurer, providing valuable and sustained overview of the finances. As well as maintaining his role as Treasurer, he also plays a leading role in supervising the Oasis Youth Club, as well as the Bar Committee and his activities for other organisations. We are particularly fortunate in having Peter’s steady and sensible financial overview which enable us to operate with confidence in these challenging economic times. Peter has also been our principal contact with Peninsula and has provided strong and sensible guidance in establishing and implementing ways forward.

Julian Gibbs remains as President of the Association.

We are most grateful for the support received from Fareham Borough and Hampshire County Councils and particularly to a number of the Borough Council’s officers who have always been ready to provide immediate advice and help on request. These are often thanked in Management Meetings through Cllr. Tiffany Harper, our Borough Councillor representative, but an additional mention in the Annual Report is entirely appropriate.

Our Trustees continue to give their support, time and attention to the management and running of the Centre and sincere thanks are due to them. Our various sub-committees continue to ensure that the Association’s business is smoothly managed. We proudly report that Ken Moore, Trustee and Lunch Club organiser was awarded the BEM in the recent Honours List.

Titchfield can rightly be proud of its Community Centre and Association but it is the people who make it what it is and long may it continue.

SECTION 11 – PUBLIC BENEFIT

Having due regard for the Charity Commission’s published guidance on Public Benefit, the Association’s Management Committee considered the objects of the Association and assessed how well these were met in terms of Public Benefit. The Management Committee concluded that it fully met its responsibilities with regard to providing Public Benefit which could be demonstrated as follows.

One of the primary objectives of the Association is to establish and maintain a Community Centre for the benefit of the local community. To this end, the Association leases two large buildings from Fareham Borough Council. The buildings comprise 11 individual rooms and communal service areas all of which are maintained by the Community Association in good order. These rooms are available for use by any member of the public as individuals, or as groups. And while it is necessary to charge for these rooms in order to raise sufficient funds to maintain the Community Centre, the Association ensures that all rooms are available at the lowest possible hourly rates; rooms are available from £5.25 per hour and are therefore accessible to all, regardless of personal financial circumstances. In certain instances, the Management Committee waives all fees. Some groups are granted discounts of up to 80%, where the Management Committee consider the objectives of the group are in accordance with those of the Association and where hire fees at the normal rate could leave the group disadvantaged. Examples of such groups are the Titchfield Lunch Club, who provide a weekly lunch for the elderly, the local Scout groups, the Pre-School and the Oasis Youth Club established as a result of local action groups working with the police to help give local young people a focus.

The main objective of the Association is to promote the benefit of the local inhabitants, and to improve their conditions of life, by associating them with the local authorities and other organisations to advance education and provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and leisure-time occupation. It can be seen from Appendix 2 that the programme offered by the Association is comprehensive and varied and fully meets this objective. Many of the groups have been meeting at the Community Centre for a great number of years demonstrating that there is an ongoing need for the services they provide. And although no reports are provided at Appendix 2, both the local authority, local training groups and the NHS regularly use the facilities for public consultations and other public services. It is estimated that over 3,000 people attend the Community Centre each week, including 48 regular groups.

The financial statements of Titchfield Community Association include the assets and liabilities under the control of the Committee.

The accounting records of Affiliated Groups renting rooms or facilities at the community centre are not included in the financial statements.

(c) Income

The turnover shown in the Income and Expenditure account represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided during the year in the normal course of business, net of trade discounts, VAT and other sales and related taxes. All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

(d) Financial instruments

The Association only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2023

Note 2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(e) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost. Tangible fixed assets, comprising fixtures, fittings and equipment, are depreciated over their useful economic lives to the Association using the following straight line rates:

Fittings 15% p.a. Furniture, computers and equipment 25% p.a. Minor electrical equipment 50% p.a.

(f) Value added tax

The Association is considered to be subject to the effect of VAT partial exemption and input tax is restricted as required.

(g) Taxation

TCA is a registered charity and, in the opinion of the Committee, is exempt from Corporation Tax on surpluses on financial activities in accordance with section 505 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 and section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992.

(h) Designated funds

Designated funds are created by internal decision of the Committee for setting aside the Association’s unrestricted resources for particular purposes.

(i) Group accounts

In the opinion of the directors, the company and its subsidiary undertakings comprise a small group. The company has, therefore, taken advantage of the exemption provided by Section 398 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare group accounts.

(j) Going concern

The Board have a reasonable expectation that the Association has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason the Board continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.

(k) Investment income

Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.

(l) Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

(m) Support costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. These costs have been allocated to expenditure on charitable activities.

(n) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand comprises cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less.

(o) Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Depreciation and Residual Values

The Directors have reviewed the asset lives and associated residual values of all fixed asset classes and have concluded that asset lives and residual values are appropriate.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF TITCHFIELD COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of Titchfield Community Association (‘the Association’) for the year ended 31 January 2023.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT

As the charity's trustees of the Association (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 material 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 Association 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.

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.

This report is made solely to the Charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity trustees as a body, for my work or this report.

Plan for 2023 To keep increasing the interest and numbers of people in Ballroom dancing

COME DANCING

No. in group 60-70 No. of meetings 13 Objectives To raise money for the Community Centre and give people a good Saturday night with live music. Linked with weekly Tea Dance group. Achievements Our numbers could be better, so we are increasing our advertising but I'm delighted to say we raised £3250 this year for TCA

Plan for 2023 To continue holding our normal Saturday evening dances, and have fun doing so COTTON ON SEWING No. in group 6 No. of meetings 39 Objectives Bring along your sewing machine and receive guidance throughout and improve your sewing skills at the same time. Encouraging members to not only sew all the projects but to further develop their skills and make sustainable choices. Also trying to develop a community group and to do more charity work to benefit the local area and further afield.

Achievements This year the group has managed to meet without interruption. Some new members joined and some left and for the first part of the year there was a full class. The group has been affected by the cost of living crisis and the knock-on effect of this is that there has been a reduction in numbers. With this in mind, I have radically reduced the contribution towards the group. For me it’s more important to keep the group going because it’s so good for our mental health. Plan for 2023 To carry on as we are. It would be great if we had more members but for time being we are happy to be attending and supporting each other during these difficult times.

CREATION STATION

No. in group 5-10 No. of meetings 36 Objectives To help children develop their creativity skills by uising their imagination and a wide range of art resources Achievements 2022 was a very up and down year in terms of numbers – our Little Explorer sessions have averaged around 5 – ideally this would be a little higher. We launched a new Baby Discover session in June 2022, which was really popular initially but the numbers really dropped by Christmas so we ended up cancelling these sessions Plan for 2023 This year we are going to continue focusing on increasing the regular numbers within our class, aiming to have 10 children regularly each week
