Structure, governance and management (contlnued)
Method of appointment or election of Trustees
The Board of Trustees is responsible for the overall management and control of the charity working
with the Manager and senior staff on strategic and operational development. Trustees are co-opted
from local people who are sympathetic to the charity's objectives., usually after attending Management
Com mittee meetings over a period of time that is sufficient to provide a full insight into the activities of
the Charity.
Organisational structure and decision making
The Trustees meet regularly to oversee the progress of the community centre.
Risk management
The Iruslees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related
to the operations and finances of the organisalion. and are satisfied that systems and procedures are
in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks.
Objectives and activiti•
We have referred lo 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 obje¢tives
The principal object of the charity is to 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 benefil is the Borough
of Tameside, but the main beneficiaries will be the residents of the Waterloo Ward in which the centre
is localed.
There have been no changes in these objectives since the lasl annual report.
Volunteers
Christ Church Community Developments is managed by a board of 6 trustees, who freely volunteer
their lime to sit on the Board of Directors and oversee the strategic direction of the charity.

Achievements, performance and financial revièw
We have engaged with thousands of people in the course of the year, whether they were altending
parties, classes, workshops or conferences in the hall, to smaller meetings, community groups or
training in the meeting rooms.
The café continues to be a valued hub of all that goes on in the cenlre and is a popular meeting place,
that helps to draw in a range of people.
The Potters Hand studio has been a real hit. with everyone wowed by the sense of community and the
beautrful space that Maxine has created, allowing creative expression, friendship and wellbeing to
flourish in these difficult times. It has welcomed a diverse group of users including schools, uniformed
organisations, work colleagues as well as individuals and families lo create their own piece of art. We
have our regulars as well as new visiiors who enjoy spending time in the studio space and often visit
the café al the same time.
We have seen great collaborations between the studio and the café, especially around key holiday
periods throughout the year.
We are also indebted lo our users whose income helps lo sustain Ihe centre and whose groups or
visitors also help to spread the word about the centre. The everyday functionality of the centre has
improved significantly but we are still heavily reliant on volunteers lo open and close outside of
operating hours - something that we have looked to address but find that the business model lo pay for
this service to be a challenge.
This year we brought on board two freelance staff., an office manager for 8 hours a week 8nd an
operations manager for 8 hours a week. This has changed the day to day running of the cenlre,
making it more efficient, with separated roles one that focuses on logistics and one that focuses on
connections with partners and the community. Josie has continued to make a big impact on the cenlre,
introducing more community ran events, which has really brought us a greater connection with
residents.
The Board are appreciative for the support that all our funders have given to the project including
National Lottery Community Fund and Social Investment Business. Both of them placed their faith in
the project to enable the initial building works.
We received a number of small grants for specific projects during the year that helped us to deliver
creative responses to prevent isolation and loneliness.
Yet again, it is important to recognise that none of this could have been achieved without the incredible
hard work and dedication of our trustees and volunteers.

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 lo the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are
applied to particular categories of income:
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of enlitlemenl to the
gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless Ihis is
impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from Ihe cost lo the donor
or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts
when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the
contribution of general volunleers.
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the
contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual
requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case
il may be regarded as restricted.
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-.
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-
charitable trading aGtivilies, and the sale of donated goods.
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking
activities that further its charilable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those
support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable
aclivilies.
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the
charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
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 aclivily. Shared costs are apportioned
be￿een the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
All fixed assets are initially recorded al cost.

Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as lo 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 & Equipment
250/0 reducing balance
Impalrment of fixed assets
A review for indicalors 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 cash-
generating 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 lo benefit from
the synergies of the combination. irrespective of whether other assets or liabililies 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 subsequenlly measured at
cost les5 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 debl instrument.
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 relalionship.

Accounting policies Icontinuedj
Financial instruments (continued)
Financial assets thal 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 appropriale 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 impairmenl. Other financial assets are
either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk char8Cteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, lo 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 nol previously been recognised.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which
the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset lo the extent
that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future paymenls or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be sellled wholly within 12 months of the end of the
reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a
discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as on expense in
the period in which il arises.
Limited by guarantee
As the company is Limited by Guarantee there are no shareholders and Iherefore a reconciliation
of movements in shareholders funds is inappropriate.
