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.

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.
