## **Report of the Committee of Management Year Ended 31 January 2025** 

The Committee of Management has pleasure in submitting its report and the financial statements of Titchfield Community Association (TCA or the Company) for the year ended 31 January 2025. 

## **SECTION 1 - CONSTITUTION AND GOVERNING DOCUMENT** 

TCA is incorporated as a company limited by guarantee, not having a share capital, and is a charity registered under the Charities Act 2011. 

The Memorandum and Articles of Association require that TCA be managed by a Committee of Management (Management Committee) the members of which are directors and managing trustees respectively within the meaning of the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011. TCA’s registration details, Company Members, Committee Officers and members, Sub-Committee members and professional advisers are detailed on pages iii and v. 

Committee Members are appointed or re-appointed each year at the Company’s Annual General Meeting of TCA’s patrons and members of Affiliated Groups. 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. Major operating decisions are made by a simple majority of a quorate Board. Fundamental operating and constitutional matters are decided by a simple majority of a quorate General 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.

The **Charges Sub-Committee** is responsible for monitoring and evaluating the efficacy of the Association's charging policy. All revisions/additions to the Association's charging policy require authorisation by the Management Committee. 

The **Insurance Review Sub-Committee** is responsible for ensuring the Association’s employees, business, public liability and property are adequately protected by insurance. 

The **Health & Safety Sub-Committee** is responsible for developing, reviewing, recording and implementing the Association’s Health & Safety policy. It is also responsible for all aspects of risk assessment. 

The **Grants Working Party** is responsible for overseeing, monitoring and evaluating all grant making activities.  Identifying potential funding sources, disseminating information, collaborating with staff to discuss grant requirements and preparation, and preparing and submitting grant applications. 

The Community Association benefits greatly from the efforts of the many **volunteers** whose services and support allow valuable funds to be used where most needed and hire rates to be set at levels affordable by all. 

The Association employs one part-time Centre Manager, two part-time Administrative Officers, one parttime Administrative Assistant, one part-time Caretaker/Maintenance Supervisor, two part-time Caretakers, a part-time Bar Manager, and a number of casual bar staff. The Centre Manager is employed to manage the Community Centre and to act as liaison between the various sub-committees, working parties and the Management Committee. The Administrative Officers and Assistant, Maintenance Supervisor, Caretakers and bar staff report directly to the Centre Manager.

## **SECTION 3 – PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES** 

The Company’s principal activity is the maintenance and management of a Community Centre. It has a wholly owned trading subsidiary which principally assumes responsibility for the three function bars on the Company’s premises. 

## **SECTION 4 – THE COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT** 

Membership of the Management Committee is as listed on page 3. Any changes to the Management Committee during the period covered by this report were as listed below: 

Mr J McLaughlin – 03 December 2024 - Appointed 

## **SECTION 5 - 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. In preparing these financial statements, the Management Committee is 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; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

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

The Members of the Management Committee are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and 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 charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

## **SECTION 6 – RELATED ORGANISATION** 

**TCA Enterprises Ltd** is the Company’s wholly owned trading subsidiary (the Trading Company) that manages the activities of the 3 bars on TCA’s premises. 

TCA is one of 2 shareholders and one of the two directors of the Trading Company. Charges for transactions between the two organisations are made at amounts that, in the opinion of the Management Committee, equate to a fair market value. The Trading Company donates its corporation tax adjusted profits under the Gift Aid arrangements each year to the Company.

**Titchfield Community Association** 

(Limited by Guarantee) 

## **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 

TCA ANNUAL REPORT FY 2024-2025 

Page 8 



(Limited by Guarantee) 

## **Titchfield Community Association** 

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 2025. 

## **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** 

It was another busy year at the Community Centre. Our regular groups remain steady offering a wide variety of activities and interests to all age groups. We had some new activities, such as children’s yoga and a children’s summer craft club. Sadly, The Dementia Care Hub reduced their provision due to funding and attendance but are still in operation locally. Some of our regular groups Pilates and Zumba increased their classes due to their increased popularity. 

In July 2024 we celebrated Pauline’s 40[th] Anniversary Tea Dance and Pauline also attended the BBC Solent Make a Difference Award where she was not only nominated but won! 

Titchfield Art and Craft Show celebrated their 50[th] Anniversary this year and it was a fabulous show with a donation of £6,000 to the Association. Some of the key members of the committee have decided to step down and allow some fresh volunteers to step up and bring some new ideas. We thank Mark, Jennifer, Vanessa, Bridget and Claire for all of the hours they have put in over their years on the committee. 

Maintenance work never stops at the centre, we have carried out major (read expensive) electrical remedial work to ensure we are compliant with current regulations. Major electrical remedial work completed to bring us up to compliance levels. 

We are working with Fareham Borough Council on our new lease. 

## **SECTION 9 – REVIEW OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND TRANSACTIONS** 

The Association’s financial position remains satisfactory and in line with the Management Committee’s expectations. A £9,079 surplus was recorded in the year to 31 January 2025, largely a result of lower exceptional operating costs; a small utilities rebate was received whist one-off maintenance costs were lower than last year. Higher trading revenue offset inflationary increases in underlying recurrent costs, primarily wages and salaries for centre staff. 

The Association’s net assets of £108,942 are with the tolerances of our retained reserve policy. 

## **SECTION 10 – PEOPLE** 

The Staff at the centre continue to show both their commitment to and enthusiasm for the centre. 

TCA ANNUAL REPORT FY 2024-2025

(Limited by Guarantee) 

They work tirelessly and unselfishly in making the centre the thriving hub of the village. Without this solid team none of the rest of this report would be possible. During this year, Michelle Woodman stepped down as an employee but continues to support the Centre in a freelance capacity. Steve Schomberg retired as Caretaker in May 2024 with Joe Grady joining the team to replace him. Jax Slaven joined the office team during the summer and is proving to be an excellent addition to the team. 

Volunteers from both within and on the edges of Titchfield also continue to support their every effort and it never fails to impress those of us who volunteer for work on the management committee at what they are able to achieve. They deserve more than thanks for all the work they do. 

Within our team of Directors, Peter Mills stood down as Treasurer while still remaining a Director and Trustee. We welcomed Joe McLaughlin as our new Treasurer, joining us in December 2024. 

## **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 9-10 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 £8.95 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, and Oasis Youth Club. 

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 2,000 people attend the Community Centre each week, including over 30 regular groups.

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) 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. 

## **(k) 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. 

## **(l) Investment income** 

Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis. 

## **(m) 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. 

## **(n) 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. 

## **(o) 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.
