TRUSTEES, REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The trustees, who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company
law, present their report and accounts for the year ending 31 March 2024.
Structure. governance and management
St. Mary's Chequerfield Community Project Limited is a registered charity with the Charity
Commission and a company lirnited by guarantee, governed by its Memorandum and Articles of
Association, dated April 2003, most recently amended June 2006. The Gompany has no share
capital and the liability of each member in the event of winding-up is limited to a sum not
exceeding £1 . The affairs of the charity are managed on a day to day basis by the trustees who
may exercise all the powers of the charity.
Appointment of trustees
Trustees are appointed at the Annual General Meeting. The trustees who served during the
period, to the date of the signing of these accounts, are listed on page 3 of this report.
Trustee tralnlng & Induction
Trustees are recruited from a variety of sectors within our community. They are given a full
history of the charitable company and its activities on application and invited to bi-monthly
meetings where they are kept updated on all activities, financial and operational.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risk to which the charity is exposed and to
8nsure appropriate controls are in place to provide r8asonable assurance against fraud and
error.
Financially our main aim is to ensure an income which will fully cover the day-to-day running
costs ol the Project and ideally some surplus to cover one-off and unforeseeable expenditure
other than those designated. We feel that, given the uncertainties which surround many aspects
of people's lives, we remain optimistic about our position.
Our building is still relatively new and has been subject to some changes which we feel have
enhanced the space available for use by organisations who have an interest and a commitment
to providing services to the residents of Chequerfield and the surrounding area. The changes to
the building have been well received and have enhanced our income and range of facilities for
the community to access.
As part of drawing up our 5 year Strategy Map 2021-2025, we were very mindful of both our on-
going targets and potential risks to achieving those targets. Risks are regularly reviewed and all
significant actions are aqreed at our monthly board meetings.
Charitable aims and objectives
The objects of the charity are to promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of Chequerfield
and the surrounding area, the provision of a community centre for recreation or other
leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their
youth, age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic
circumstances, or for the public at large in the interest of social welfare and with the
object of improving the condition of life of the said inhabitants.

l) Refurbishment of the Buildlng
The building is twenty years old and has been utilised extensively and impressively. Many
changes have been made to facilitate optimum use of room space since the original design.
An ongoing program of redecoration, maintenance and update of IT equipment and software
is underway. Our caretaker maintains the gardens and carries out repairs and maintenance
whenever possible. When necessary, we employ local tradespeople to carry out work.
Works carried OLrt during this period have included replacement carpeting, upgraded IT
server unit and additional CCTV coverage. Repairs have been made to the roof and
skylights, sensor controlled LED lighting fitted around the building and essential upgrades
made to our passenger lift. We have installed a defibrillator for public use, provided by a
West Yorkshire Prepared Community Grant Initiative.
The garden area has been refurbished, at little cost, providing a private, tranquil outdoor area
for centre users to enjoy.
J) Green Issues
St. Marys has always been passionate on recycling and energy conservation, with these
issues continually promoted throughout the centre to all users, ensuring we keep our
carbon footprint and energy expenditure to a minimum. We have increased our recycling
effort to include soft plastics used within the centre.
Funded by a grant from CRT in 2012, the centre has eighty-five solar panels fitted, which
greatly reduce the energy outgoings.
All light fittings have now been replaced with energy saving LED models, funded by a
WYCA climate activity grant in 2023. This will see a considerable cost saving made in
future and confirms our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint.
Free flow taps in our public areas were replaced with push control models, reducing water
usage and waste.
Energy efficient equipment including new central heating boiler, hot water kitchen geyser
and dishwasher have been installed.
Outdated IT equipment is donated to a local social enterprise who refurbish and donate
equipment to other charities.
Truslees, assessment of golng concern
Following the impact which the Covid-19 crisis had on our operations, our income has
recovered, albeit with some streams being slower to return to pre-covid levels. Du8 to Income
from services provided, room hire and funding applications, we have rnanaged to complete this
challenging financial year without serious financial impact, while providing invaluable community
support and improving public facilities within our building. Funding applications are regularly
iiiad¥ iii ui'iJ¥i' Iu suppul L lui i ui11 iii iy Luslb dr Id IdLilildlv SPVLidl dLlivili¥b.
Increased costs due to the cost of living crisis have and will continue to impact on our business,
as the cost of utilities, salaries, consumables etc has increased dramatically. To take account of
increased expenditure and financial constraints, we continue to operate with a small but flexibl8
staff ing team who have undertaken training courses to ensure they are well equipped to meet
changes in our operations. Staff rotas have been put into place to make optimum use of staff ing
hours and streamline salary costs.
We are confident that we are in a position to meet the challenges brought about by Covid-19
and the present financial crisis, and have proven that we are sufficiently flexible and responsive
to continue to otter and expand our community provision. We do not view our operations as "At
Risk" up to the end of the 202412025 accounting period.

The charlty's policy on reserves
The St Mary's Community Centre is a focus for the local community and the company's remit is
firstly to maintain the building to facilitate the needs of the community it serves,. and secondly to
continue to develop further s8rvices, activities and support to sectors of that community where
those facilities don't exist or are inadequate.
This we may do by ourselves or with other local partners. We will aim to ensure that any work
we undertak8 is fully funded, although Ihere are instances where funding requires a contribution
from ourselves. In addition, there will be a Gontinual and increasing need to maintain the fabric
of the building.
We therefore feel it prudent to maintain a minimum level of unrestricted resenies which equate
to six months running costs as well as transferring to designated resenies any amounts which
are felt necessary to fully fund future projects. Based on current year expenditure, excluding
depreciation, six months running costs equates to approximately £96,000.
At 31 March 2024, our level of unrestricted reserves was £168,25812023: £190,264). Reserves
are currently above the target level set out in the reserve policy. The trustees consider this to
be appropriat8 given the short-term nature of lunding and the challenges that the effects of the
pandemic and current cost of living crisis will continue to place on the charity in the coming
months and years.
Statement of trustee responsibilities
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 charity at the end of the year and of
the surplus or deficiency for the year then ended.
In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to.. S81ect suitable accounting
policies and then apply them on a consistant basis, making judgemenis and estimates that are
prudent and reasonable. The trustees must also prepare the financial statements on the going
concern basis unless It is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with
reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the charity, 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 charity and hence for taking reasonable
steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.
Flnanclal review
The financial statements are set OLrt in pages 12 to 21. The Statement of Financial Activities
shows a deficit for the year of £37,043 12023: a deficit of £36,404). The resull includes the
depreciation charge of £44,734 (£46,372 in 20231. The total funds at the year-end sland at
£1,416,851 {2023'. £1,453,894>, Total funds includes the value of the building and other fixed
assets.
Reserves of the charity at year-end, held in unrestricted funds, stand at £168,258 (2023:
£190,264). There was also a sum of £93,786 held in designated funds for specific projects.

Respectlve responslbilitles of Iruslees and exarnlner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are
responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is
not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that
an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions giv8n by the Charity
Commission (under section 145(5)Ib) of the Charities Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of independent examlner's report
My exarnination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity
and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration
of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees
concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that
would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts
present a 'true and fair, view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement
below.
Independent examlner's stalemenl
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives
me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
accountlng records were not kept in accordance With section 386 of the Companies Act 2006. or
the accounts do not accord with such records,. or
the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the
Companies Act 2006 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
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).
I have no concerns and I have coffle 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.
