Trustees' Report

The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 30 September 2021.

Objectives and activities

The objects of the charity are:

for the benefit of the public in Hyndburn and surrounding area:

(1) The promotion of the effective use of resources for charitable purposes and non-charitable bodies; and

(2) In the interests of social welfare, to improve the conditions of life of the inhabitants of the area of benefit without distinction of political, religious or other opinions: in particular but not exclusively by the provision and maintenance of a community resource centre.

The charity achieves its objects by the operation of the Resource Centre in Accrington, which is let on a 25 year lease, with no rent, from Hyndburn Borough Council.

Financial review

The charity's income consists of rent received from community groups and other users. In this financial year the charity has benefited from £22,170 income for hosting a Covid-19 vaccination centre.

The trustees consider it prudent to hold unrestricted reserves to enable it to perform its operations. The level of unrestricted reserves on 30 September 2021 was £39,748, which equates to over 3 months resources expended. The directors feels this level of reserves is sufficient.

Public benefit

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Achievements and performance

The principal funding source is rent received on the rent and hire of hall, which has been impacted by restrictions placed due to Covid-19 from March 2020 with all activities at the centre ceasing. At the point of signing these accounts the building is still only being used at 50% of the capacity.

Post year end the local pharmacy is currently using the centre as a vaccination centre which has been positive for our finances. However the management team are aware that a drive to get more tenants and hirers will be needed in the early part of 2022. This has not been started yet as only limited space is currently available, some groups have returned but the vaccination process uses a large portion of the building.

There is a Lottery bid in progress which has been accepted to undertake a major refurbmishment of the building, hopefully in 2022.

Structure, governance and management

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 13 July 2004. It is governed by its Articles last revised in 2005. The trustees have decided to convert from a company limited by guarantee to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation in the coming year.

Recruitment and appointment of trustees

The Trustees are appointed by existing trustees as vacancies arise and/or additional skills are needed.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Hyndburn Voluntary & Community Resource Centre Ltd. ("the Company")

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 September 2021.

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 Hyndburn Voluntary & Community Resource Centre Ltd. 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 Hyndburn Voluntary & Community Resource Centre Ltd. 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.

2 Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

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 (FRS 102)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

Hyndburn Voluntary & Community Resource Centre Ltd. meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.

Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement

The charity is exempt from preparing a cash flow statement.

Income

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.

Page 7

Hyndburn Voluntary & Community Resource Centre Ltd.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2021

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class Depreciation method and rate
Plant and equipment 15% per annum reducing balance basis
Fixtures and fittings 15% per annum reducing balance basis
Computer equipment 33% per annum on cost

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due for services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
