UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
## **NEW PARK COMMUNITY AND ARTS ASSOCIATION**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES**
The Trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
## **STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
New Park Community & Arts Association is registered as a Charitable Company with its Governing Documents being in the form of its Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Trustees (listed on page 1) are both Trustees of the Charity and Directors of the Company, and are selected on the basis of the skills and experience which they bring to the charity. They are appointed by an ordinary resolution of the members of the charity in general meeting although the trustees have the power to appoint not more than two additional trustees during the course of the year.
The Trustees have considered the risks associated with operating New Park Community & Arts Association and are taking steps to minimise these risks.
There was a change of Treasurer of the Board of Trustees of NPCAA in September 2024 when Nigel Lee took over from Stuart Dobbin.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
The main objects of the Charity, as defined in the Governing Documents, are:
- _“a. to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Chichester and its neighbourhood (hereinafter called “the area of benefit”) 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 object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants;_
- _b. to secure the maintenance and development of a community and arts centre (hereinafter called “the Centre”) and to equip and manage the same (whether alone or in co-operation with any local authority or other person or body) in furtherance of these Objects._
- _c. to promote such other charitable purposes as may from time to time be determined.”_
In determining the activities to be undertaken by the charity in furtherance of these objects, the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
New Park Community & Arts Association exists to provide accessible and safe facilities where organisations and individuals can offer social, cultural, recreational and welfare activities or services for residents of Chichester and district.
The Centre managers continue to pursue these aims, and maintain their commitment to operate efficiently, ensuring financial and charitable accountability.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
As Chair of the Board of Trustees of NPCAA, I’m delighted to report that the charity enjoyed a successful operating year. Our client and user base remained stable and indeed grew by 27 clients. Revenues grew satisfactorily and, combined with careful cost control, we were able to record a healthy surplus and contribution to our reserves, which will be re-invested in the New Park Centre to the benefit of all.
Our most important project for this and subsequent years is the replacement of the old school building roof, which is now past its economic life. We have taken the decision to proceed with the first phase, which will see actual work start in April 2025, following extensive fundraising work and relationship building with the City and District Councils. We were extremely pleased and honored to receive a commitment from the City Council’s Community Affairs Committee of £150,000 over the three years of the project in recognition of the value that the New Park Centre brings to the community life of Chichester. Awards by other funders and our own reserves make us confident that the project will be undertaken on schedule.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES**
We were also able this year to support our affiliated organisation, the New Park Sports and Social Club with its transition to a new leadership structure and organisation. The volunteers of the Sports and Social Club (and indeed those of our client the Chichester Cinema) are to many patrons the warm and smiling face of New Park and the club itself makes an important financial contribution to NPCAA. Our relationship with NPSSC is very important to us.
Our management team at New Park (three full- and part-time employees) once again provided high quality and dedicated service to the Centre and all our patrons, clients and users, and I would like to record here my grateful thanks to them for their efforts. We have been fortunate to recruit a new Finance Trustee in the person of Nigel Lee, who is a qualified Chartered Accountant with strong experience in the charitable and commercial sectors. We owe a huge debt of thanks to our retiring and long-standing Finance Trustee Stuart Dobbin who completed a career with us of 15 years. His integrity, financial acumen and collegiality to staff and trustees alike made him an exemplary and highly valued colleague. We wish him the very best of retirements from New Park. The Board of Trustees was enhanced during the year by the addition of Mrs Judy Gershater, City Councilor, who joined us as an observer and colleague. Her contribution and counsel provided an immediate benefit in helping us navigate the various council administrations.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
Incoming resources during the year ended 31 August 2024 totalled £320,145 (2023: £253,141). Total expenditure for the period was £245,028 (2023: £209,033) giving rise to an overall surplus for the year of £75,117 (2023 surplus: £44,108).
As at 31 August 2024, the charity had total funds of £2,411,192 (2023: £2,336,075) with restricted funds of £13,912 (2023: £13,862) retained in a restricted fund available only for the future development of the New Park Centre. Unrestricted free reserves were £124,110 (2023: £291,407). The trustees consider the charity should maintain positive free reserves equivalent to six months operational expenditure in order to safeguard continuing delivery of its objects during any temporary and unforeseen shortfall in incoming resources. This target has been exceeded.
## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS**
We will be celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the New Park Centre in 2025. Events will take place to recognise all the people and organisations that have helped to give Chichester such a special place. Our new roof project will commence actual work in April 2025. There will be some scaffolding but no interruption to normal operations. As ever, we will continue to explore ways to improve and invest in the Centre to the benefit of our users, clients and supporters. We are looking forward to an exciting year!
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees (who are also directors of New Park Community and Arts Association for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees’ 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 these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities 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 trustees are responsible for keeping adequate 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. 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.

## **NEW PARK COMMUNITY AND ARTS ASSOCIATION**
UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
## **ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Scope and basis of the financial statements**
New Park Community and Arts Association is an incorporated charity, limited by guarantee, incorporated in England with the company number 05459818. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information page of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are outlined in the trustees' report.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
## **Statement of cash flows**
The charity has applied the exemption from providing a statement of cash flows within the Charities SORP and on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A.
## **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the Charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
For donations to be recognised the Charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the Charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the Charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.
Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the Charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.
Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares and cash deposits. It includes dividends and interest. Where it is not practicable to identify investment management costs incurred within a scheme with reasonable accuracy the investment income is reported net of these costs. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend income is recognised as the Charity’s right to receive payment is established.
## **Resources expended**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:
● Expenditure on charitable activities; which includes costs of operating the Centre and costs incurred to support those activities
Expenditure allocated to governance costs comprises the costs of production of statutory accounts and the accountants’ report, together with any costs associated with trustees’ meetings, legal advice for trustees and costs associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.
## **Employee benefits**
When employees have rendered service to the Charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.
The Charity operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are expensed as they become payable.
**Page 8**
## **NEW PARK COMMUNITY AND ARTS ASSOCIATION**
UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
## **ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **VAT**
The Charity is not registered for VAT and is unable to recover VAT incurred. On this basis costs are recorded inclusive of VAT within the SOFA.
## **Taxation**
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in sections 466 to 493 Corporation Tax Act 2010 (CTA 2010), as such no income tax is payable on the charity's activities.
## **Fixed Assets**
Tangible fixed assets costing £2,500 or more and with an economic useful life of more than one year are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:
Heating & ventilation equipment 15 years straight line Fixtures and fittings 3 years straight line Seating and building improvements 10 years straight line
Depreciation is not charged on long leasehold land and buildings on the basis that it would be immaterial as the buildings have a very long useful economic life and the lease is likely to be renewed on similar terms to those currently in place. The Trustees have in place a long-term maintenance plan and carry out an annual review for impairment of the buildings in order to confirm that there has been no impairment such that the buildings’ carrying value would be diminished.
## **Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year**
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
## **Operating leases**
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
## **Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
