BASINGSTOKE IRISH SOCIETY MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE & DIRECTOR'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

a) Governing Document

The Basingstoke Irish Society was founded in 1970 after informal discussions by a group of people resident in the Basingstoke and Deane area. Initially aimed to foster social and sporting activities but expanded over the years into cultural and educational activities for the Irish community residing within the town and surrounding districts. In January, 1990 the Society adopted The Constitution of the Irish Society and Rules of the Irish Centre. The Society was incorporated as a charitable company, limited by guarantee and not having a share capital, on 23 August, 2005 and registered as a charity on 18 November, 2005. The Company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable Company and is governed under its Articles of Association. This document replaced the original constitution. In the event of the Company being wound up, the Trustees of the Charity are liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 to the assets of the Charity. At 31 December, 2021 there were four Trustees of the Charity.

b) Recruitment and Appointment of New Trustees

As set out in the Articles of Association, the Management Committee shall consist of not less than three, unless otherwise determined by ordinary resolution and not subject to any maximum number of members. One third of members stand down from office at the Annual General Meeting, but are eligible for re-election for the forthcoming year. The members to retire by rotation shall be those who have been longest in their office since their last appointment.

The Trustees are elected to bring a wide range of skills to the Management Committee.

Members of the Management Committee, who are directors for the purpose of Company Law and trustees for the purpose of Charity Law, who served during the year are set out below:

Mr A McFadden Chair Cllr S Keating Appointed 13[th] September, 2016; Resigned 25[th] August, 2021 Mr G Traynor Appointed 13[th] September, 2016 Mrs J Donohoe Appointed 7[th] December, 2016 Mrs AMT Morwood-Leyland Appointed 13[th] December, 2016

The Management Committee may appoint sub-committees and the chair of the sub-committee has delegated powers to make financial decisions on behalf of the Management Committee should a decision be required quickly and outside of the timescales of the Management Committee meetings. This sub-committee meets as and when required.

c) Trustee Induction and Training

A Basingstoke Irish Society information pack based upon information from the various Charity Commission publications signposted through the Commission’s guide “the Essential Trustee,” is distributed to all new trustees along with the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the latest financial statements.

Risk Management

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the Charity is exposed and to ensure proper controls are in place to provide reasonable assurances against fraud and errors.

4

Internal risks are minimized by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charitable Company. The Internal Financial Control Checklist published by the Charity Commission form the basis for these procedures. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the Charity. This has led to improvements in day to day reporting which has benefited the Charity with its compliance and governance issues.

Objectives and Activities

The Charity’s objects are the following:

Public Benefit

The Charity is a public benefit entity.

We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. This review looks at what we have achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those groups of people we are set up to help.

This review also helps us ensure our aim, objectives and activities remain focused on our stated purpose. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance of public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

Achievements and performance

Our main activities have been to promote the Irish Community and to continue the management of the Community Centre. By associating with said inhabitants and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations, the Charity continues to advance education and to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and leisure time pursuits for the benefit of the inhabitants. During the year the Charity continues to support other local charities by providing free accommodation and use of the Charity’s services. These include Cultural Irish and set Dancing, St. Michael’s Hospice, the Wye Valley and Hospital Radio, Williams Syndrome, McMillan Nurses, Cancer Research, the Stroke Society, the Golden Oldies monthly lunch club, Noami House and Jack’s Place, the Mayor’s Charity events, hosting after funeral events and band practice clubs.

Financial Review

The refurbishment of the Centre over the last couple of years has now been completed. The Charity received further grants from Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council towards the cost of the works. It is expected that this will lead to increase in both rental income for the Charity and increased bar takings for the trading Company. The Coronavirus pandemic has of course severely affected this with the lockdowns and reduced opening hours. Bar sales for the trading Company fell from £36,732 last year to £34,884 including £10,000 business interuption payout. There are signs of improvement and lettings income improved during the year with bookings from the Church of Pentecost and the Christian Community Limted. The trading Company made a surplus before taxation of £16,039 [2020: £790] during the year and gift aided this in full to the Charity. During the year the trading Company paid the balance of the prior year’s gift aid. The current year gift aid will be paid within nine months of the year end. The Charity were grateful to receive £14,814 (last year: £13,692) in Government support via the Job Retention Scheme as well as £17,374 (last year £10,000) from Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council for business support.

5

Parking income is trading income and subject to taxation if profit greater than £5k in the year. This year the income was £4,538 (last year: £3,446) and fully accounted for within the Charity.

The actual income is analysed in the following graph:

The consolidated Charity reserves at the year-end have increased by £179,192 to £219,379. Additional grant income of £200,552 was received from Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council to fund the refurbishment of the Centre and other business support. The grant income recognised does not include the elements of recoverable VAT funded by the Council as this is being repaid to the Council. At the year end the sum of £44,760 received in respect of VAT is shown as a liability and due to be paid back to the Council.

Other grant income received have contributed to the maintenance and upkeep of the building during the extended periods of inactivity.

6

Reserves policy

The Charity’s aim to build up general reserves to help ensure continuity of services, by providing for a period of twelve months’ cover of wages and salaries and general running costs.

The Group has total reserves of £219,379 [2020: £40,187] at the year end. The reserves of the Charity are £219,379 [2020: £48,187] of which £207,470 [2020: £26,561] is designated. Unrestricted reserves of £11,909 [last year: £14,626] represents approximately two and a quarter months’ cover [2020: five months].

Plans for the future

The primary focus of the Society is to bring local residents, local authorities, voluntary and other organisations together to provide education and facilities for entertainment for the benefit of the life and well-being of local people without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of politics, religion and other opinions. The Society will maintain and manage the use of the hall and raise its profile through a variety of methods including internet, local media, posters and leaflet dropping.

The Society aims to combat some of the disadvantages in the area by providing a wide variety of resources and services for the local community including pre-school provision, health activities, clinics and senior citizens’ centres. These facilities will help local residents to learn and improve their skills and enrich their lives.

Upon completion of the refurbishment works we would look to entice users to hire out the facilities as well as continue to finance any ongoing running costs by a combination of volunteering and fund raising. We currently run various activities such as quiz nights and raffles to generate funds. Post Covid we would continue to run other events at the Centre to generate funds and encourage more of the community to make use of the Centre.

Responsibilities of the Management Committee

Company law requires the Committee of Management, as directors, to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the surplus or deficit of the Charity for that period.

In preparing those statements the Committee is required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice Charities SORP 2015 and the provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. It was approved on 25[th] February, 2022 by the Management Committee and signed on its behalf by:

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The Trustees (who are also the Directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”).

BASINGSTOKE IRISH SOCIETY NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER, 2021

1. Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared under historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets. These financial statements of the charitable Company for the year ended 31 December 2021 have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued by the Financial Reporting Council.

a) Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable Company, which is a public entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with:

Financial reporting standard 102 – reduced disclosure exemption

The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Northern Ireland’ s1.12 (b) not to produce a Statement of Cash Flow as required by Section 7.

b) Financial Statements

Although the Charity, as a small reporting entity is exempt from having to produce consolidated group accounts, the Charity feels it is appropriate to do so. Therefore, these financial statements do consolidate the results of the Charity and its wholly owned subsidiary, Basingstoke Irish Society Trading Co Limited on a line by line basis. A separate Statement of Financial Activities and an Income and Expenditure account, for the Charity itself has also been presented.

c) Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the Charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be reliably measured.

Voluntary income including donations, legacies and grants which provide core funding or are of a general nature is only deferred when the donor specifies the grant or donation must be used in a future accounting period, or the donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the Charity has unconditional entitlement.

Income from charitable activities including income received under contract or where entitlement to grant funding is subject to specific performance conditions is recognised when the conditions are met.

d) Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement of the amount and that the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured.

13

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a consistent and equitable basis.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity.

e) Costs of raising funds

Costs of raising funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income and those incurred with minor trading activities which raise funds. Charitable activities includes all directly attributable expenditure including support costs. Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity. The Charity has an agreement with its subsidiary to apportion appropriate running costs of the premises for its shared use. These charges, net of VAT, are netted off the operating costs in these financial statements and not treated as income. They are recognised as input tax for VAT purposes.

f) Asset Policies

Tangible fixed assets are capitalised when costing £1,000 or more and are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to write off the cost of the asset on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life.

Plant & Machinery 10%

The income and property of the Charity is applied solely towards the promotion of its objects as set forth in its Memorandum of Association.

g) Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

h) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

i) Financial instruments

The Charity only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors and loans from banks and other third parties.

Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade payables or receivables, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.

14

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.

For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset’s carrying amount and best estimate, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

j) Funds Structure Policy

Restricted funds are subject to restrictions on their expenditure by the donor. Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Management Committee in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity. Designated funds are funds that are earmarked for a particular purpose. Currently no funds are restricted in their use. The Trustees have set up a designated fund in respect of Grants given for the provision of fixed assets. The funds were recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when received but a designated fund has been created reflecting the book value of the assets. The reduction in the designated fund therefore reflects the depreciation charge made on the assets each year.

k) Other Policies

Pension

The Charity operate a pension scheme for core staff in compliance with auto-enrolment. This was introduced from the staging date of 1[st] January, 2017 and NEST are the appointed workplace pension provider.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The Charity makes certain estimates and assumptions regarding the future. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions. There were no estimates or assumptions made that would have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

2. Income

During the year the Charity received gross grant income of £218,571 (2020: £1,123) from Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council for the refurbishment of the Centre. The Charity has recognised £195,843 only of this income in the year as £39,168 is in respect of recoverable VAT and is due back to the Council. This income is recognised as unrestricted income as although specific in nature is for the gerneral charitable activities of the Charity. The associated expenditure is capitalised in the accounts.

The use of the “accruals method” (section 24 of FRS 102) for the recognition of income from government grants (which provides for grants for assets be recognised on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the asset) is not permitted by the Charities SORP. Therefore the income is recognised in full on entitlement; however an amount equivalent to the net book value of the asset is held as designated reserves to be released in line with the depreciation of the assets. The Charity also received a furter £17,374 in Covid related grants from the Coubncil during the year.

All the income is unrestricted. Gift Aid income received or receivable from the Charity’s trading subsidiary is eliminated within the Group accounts but shown in the Charity’s own accounts. The

15

trading subsidiary made profits before tax of £16,039 [2020: £790]. The sum of £793 [2020: £5,003] was received in the year. The sum of £16,039 will be paid within nine months of the year end.
