Structure, governance and management (continued)

Organisational structure and decision making

The Trustees meet regularly to oversee the progress of the community centre construction.

Risk management

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the organisation, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks. Insurance cover is in place and the finances of the centre are kept under review.

Objectives and activities

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.

Policies and objectives

The principal object of the charity is to build and operate a community centre in the grounds of Christ Church, Ashton under Lyne for the benefit of all members of the community. The area of benefit is the Borough of Tameside, but the main beneficiaries will be the residents of the Waterloo Ward in which the centre is located.

There have been no changes in these objectives since the last annual report.

Volunteers

Christ Church Community Developments is managed by a board of 4 trustees, who freely volunteer their time to sit on the Board of Directors and oversee the strategic direction of the charity.

During the year a number of other volunteers have assisted in getting the project underway. The Board are actively working with Action Together, the local CVS, to recruit more volunteers and trustees.

Achievements, performance and financial review

This was a year to celebrate with the completion of the building project, the opening of the centre to the community on the 5[th] of July 2021 and a successful (albeit hectic) first few months of operation.

It has been a journey that at times we wondered if we would ever complete. But we believed in the original vision that our community needed a place to gather and be welcome. A place that placed sustainability at its heart. A place the would be open 4 young, 4 old, 4 all.

From the cold winter day when we had 150 young year 3 VIPs from our 3 local schools on site in 2007 forming the outline of the building, the vision started to become a reality.

The Board are grateful for the support that all our funders have given to the project over the years. Big Lottery (now National Lottery Community Fund) and Social Investment Business placed their faith in the project to enable the initial building works. Despite the challenges of the initial construction being delayed in 2012 due to issues with the original contractor, they have continued to support the project and helped to identify ways to get the doors open.

The major grant of £150,000 from Tameside Council towards the building work alongside the Viridor Credits grant of £50,000 for the cafe and kitchen enabled the fit out of the space to be completed.

Equally we are thankful to the generosity of the numerous donors who have supported the project and helped in its completion. .

The assistance of the Council including the backing from the Chief Executive, Leader and local ward members is much appreciated in helping to complete the centre. The Joint Commissioning Team have also championed the project for many years and we are grateful for their ongoing support.

The main fit out work to complete the project was undertaken by Casey Group. As a locally based contractor they engaged with the Board to help plan the works and understood that the project was more than a building contract and were engaged in the social value of the project. From starting on site in December 2020 through to completion was a challenge during Covid but they managed to transform the shell of the building and create the spaces that are now being used by the community.

The professional help of Ian Tunnicliffe of ITBC Ltd was instrumental in ensuring the plans were realised. ITBC was able to guide the Board through the design process, procurement for the fit out and undertake the contract administration with the main contractor on our behalf along with obtaining the necessary building control approvals.

Through their charitable Foundation, Zen Internet has kindly provided broadband to the premises free of charge.

We also wish to place on record our sincere gratitude to Rebecca Maxwell who stepped down from the Board in August due to family commitments.

Finally and most importantly, none of this could have been achieved without the incredible hard work and dedication of our trustees and volunteers. The array of volunteers helping over the last few months has shown the power of community action. From painting the walls, cleaning floors, moving furniture, implementing new IT and operational procedures to engaging with the community – the team have done it all.

It is nearly 20 years since the project was conceived, and with the sense of satisfaction of finally opening to fulfil its intended purposes, we now start a new chapter serving the community and meeting needs.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 30 September 2021

Financial review

With the completion of the building and the centre becoming operational, the Board are actively engaging and working with the community and our partners to ensure that the centre is used effectively and to meet the needs of the local community.

Working with colleagues at Action Together, we aim to establish a group of community members to co-create and guide the activities that take place in the centre.

Income from room lettings will support the work we do. It is early days and the Board are mindful of ensuring that the spaces are affordable to the community whilst enabling the centre to run efficiently and cover its costs. The board agreed a three tier system of commercial, community and local Waterloo rates to enable the team to be flexible. We will to review the pricing throughout the year.

We introduced an online booking system (Hallmaster) to allow users to book and for room hire and to minimise the administrative burden. Whilst it has taken time to set up and get used to the system, it is an important management tool for the Board to plan and control income.

To facilitate specific activity with the community, the Board have started to make bids to small grants programmes. An example of the activity was the Winter Warming grant that encouraged people to participate in a number of arts and craft activities whilst also enjoying food in a communal setting. This was well received, especially after the loneliness felt by many through lockdown.

The increase in utility costs is a concern that has become a national issue. Our supplier has more than doubled the unit rate we pay per kWh of electricity in the last year and the Board will continue to monitor the situation. A\We are fortunate that as a sustainable building, it was designed for low energy in use. We have solar PVs to help generate electricity, LED lighting throughout and the Air Source Heat Pumps helps reduce our carbon footprint. Whilst the café has proved popular gathering place, the kitchen is energy intensive. We will continue to monitor and work with the operator to look at ways to reduce the use.

The use of the building across the week from 7am to 11pm in some cases has meant that the FM costs have increased from our original projected expenditure. We have employed a professional cleaning contractor to ensure the building is kept up to a good standard.

The Board are acutely aware that operation of the centre is reliant on the goodwill of the volunteer base. It is looking at ways to employ staff to cover administration, caretaking and responsibilities.

Plans for future periods

Plans for the future

Now that the centre is operation, the Board are actively engaging and working with the community and our partners to ensure that the centre is used effectively and to meet the needs of the local community.

The fitting out of the remaining rooms is our priority for the building over the next period. A bid has been submitted via Tameside Council to the Government’s £30m Changing Places Toilet grant programme and a decision is anticipated in the autumn. This will provide a larger fully accessible toilet facility with adjustable bench and hoist giving dignity for users who would struggle with standard accessible toilet facilities. Alongside this work, ventilation to the WCs, meeting rooms, office and studio will be completed with the installation of an MVHR unit to help reduce heating costs during the winter by recovering and recirculating heat.

Installation of WiFi throughout the building and creation of additional storage for groups is also a key priority requested by our users.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 30 September 2021

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 18/19 Salmon Fields Business Village, Royton, Oldham, OL2 6HT.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

The notes on pages 9 to 17 form part of these financial statements.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

The notes on pages 9 to 17 form part of these financial statements.

- 11

Christ Church Community Developments

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 30 September 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Fixtures & Fittings - 25% reducing balance

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

The notes on pages 9 to 17 form part of these financial statements.

Christ Church Community Developments

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 30 September 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

4. Limited by guarantee

As the company is Limited by Guarantee there are no shareholders and therefore a reconciliation of movements in shareholders funds is inappropriate.
