OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The objects of the charity are:

  1. To promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of Kenfig Hill and its neighbourhood without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race, or of political, religious or other opinionsby associating together the said inhabitants and the local authorities, advance education and to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.

  2. To secure the maintenance of development of a community centre and to equip and amanage the same (whether alone or in co-operation with a local authority or other person or body).

  3. To promote such other charitable purposes as may from time to time be determined. the Charity shall be non-party and non-sectarian in religion.

Public benefit

The Trustees are aware that the Charity has a responsibility under the Charities Act to demonstrate that it has charitable aims that meet the public benefit requirement and are therefore charitable. The Trustees confirm that they have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and comply with S17 Charities Act 2011 when considering, planning and implementing the activities of the charity. As Trustees, we believe that the aims of our organisation are charitable and for the public benefit. Furthermore, in our view, no detriment or harm arises from our Charity carrying out its work and we are not aware of any widespread views among others that such detriment or harm might arise.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities

During the year, the organisation was fortunate to receive grant funding amounting to £7,665. This enabled, sports, halloween and other activities to take place.

The main funding source, in addition to the above grant funding, during 2023-2024 was hall hire (rental) income.

We would like to thank all our funders for their support of the centre and community during the last year.

We have continued to reach out to the community to find out how they feel about changes to our work and make sure that they still feel supported by the community centre. As such, we remain a constant in the community even in times of great uncertainty and we appreciate the support that we get from our members, trustees and third sector partners. We are always seeking new members and volunteers and consistently review the offer available to residents.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF TALBOT COMMUNITY CENTRE

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Talbot Community Centre ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.

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 the Company 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 the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  2. 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

  3. 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.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':

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 the amount can be measured reliably.

The following specific policies are applied:

Voluntary income

Income received by way of grants, gifts or donation is included in full on receipt unless it is subject to a condition when it is treated as deferred income.

Deferred income

Income or grants received in advance are held as deferred income and carried forward to future accounting periods to be released when the defined purposes of the work or project have been completed, approved or certified.

Gifts in kind

Gifts in kind are included in the income and expenditure account where they are applied in carrying out charitable activities, where the company would otherwise have to purchase the donated facility and the benefit is both quantifiable and material. The quantifiable benefit is shown as both incoming and expended resources within the appropriate funds. Where the gift is an asset it is treated as income and taken to stock or fixed assets as appropriate.

The value of services provided by volunteers is not quantified.

Investment income

Investment income is included when receivable.

Trading income

Trading income is recognised when earned.

Government Grant Income comprises specific project related direct support. see note 2, Incoming Resources, for amounts.

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 and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Restricted funds

Restricted funds represent balances held to fund future projects where the resources have been received and are required by the donors to fund a specific project.

Transfers between funds

Transfers between funds arise where unrestricted funds have been used to fund shortfalls in restricted projects. The free reserves are available to provide funds to cashflow projects funded on a retrospective basis and are available with the approval of the trustees to fund any expenditure on projects or expenses which fall within the organisations general aims and objectives. They are accumulated in accordance with the reserve policy as stated in the Trustee Report.

Designated funds

Designated funds represent the amounts set aside to write down the remaining net book value of fixed assets held against unrestricted funds.

Activities undertaken within each major restricted fund

The restricted funds of the charity have been applied during the year or are held for future expenditure in the following area:

Big Lottery Asset Fund

This was funding in 2005 for refurbishment of the Talbot Community Centre.

BAVO Grant 2024

This was funding to support action against poverty in the local community.

Pyle Community Council

This was to help fund Halloween activities.

16. GIFTS IN KIND

Volunteer time

The value of volunteer time is not quantified in terms of money, but the time contributed by volunteers is an invaluable resource in terms of the outstanding contribution made by them. The average number of volunteers in the year was 1.

17. GOING CONCERN

Free reserves have decreased during the year, and the trustees remain aware that future income streams are uncertain. However, different sources of income generation are continually reviewed, together with cost savings where possible, therefore the trustees are confident that the financial difficulties will be overcome and have therefore prepared the accounts on a going concern basis.
