Achievements and Performances

From late March 2020 the UK entered a period of social distancing and self-isolation in response to the Coronavirus pandemic, which had a profound effect on the practical functioning of the charity.

The centre closed on the 26th of March 2020. We opened up as soon as we were allowed to do so, but most of our tenants and groups decided to stay away due to government guidelines on shielding and working from home. The majority of our office tenants worked from home during the pandemic, only coming into the centre to collect post and equipment needed to work from home.

For two full months we furloughed all our staff. The centre manager, one trustee and caretaker went in once a week to complete all health and safety checks. The caretaker went in for one hour a day during the first lockdown to make sure we didn’t have any health and safety or security issues, he also cleaned the building once a week so we could open quickly if needed.

At the end of May 2020, SCC asked if we could open the centre up for their office, which we did straightway as we had been on top of any issues and had been deep cleaning the centre once a week. This enabled the centre to bring back one of the cleaners from furlough. Therefore, we have had one cleaner and caretaker working ever since.

The Community Centre opened in July, we welcomed back PCT and Karate activities immediately. The NHS came back to the centre in July for two days a week, which they increased to three days a week from the beginning of 2021. Zumba and Mini Kids came back in September 2021.

Sheffield City Council came round and issued people limits to all our rooms to ensure that we complied with safe distancing and these have been adopted for all our tenants. We have abided by Covid restrictions from the start and are still abiding by them. We have been audited by SCC for Covid compliance and have passed each time. As of now we have not had one Covid case attributed to the centre including the Nursery, Family centre and MAST.

North Sheffield Group for the Disabled are shielding and as yet have not returned to the centre, but will be returning at the end of January 2022. Some groups such as AA and City Church have still not come back to the centre, but we have high hopes that they will return in 2022.

The footfall of the centre was on the up before the lockdown, due to an increase in the level of sessional bookings and further new groups. The Forum has regular income from courses run by Everyone Health and NHS Pulmonary care. We are still receiving extremely positive feedback from the groups and clubs that use the centre on how accommodating, cleanliness and friendly the centre is.

Our Karate group is going from strength to strength winning National awards and recognition within the Community. We have a new class on Saturday mornings run by the Karate group for Women only which some weeks is having up to 25 participants.

The Hall is still our main stream of Sessional income. The stage is being used for the breakfast and after school club that has just started back up in the later part of 2021.

2020/21 was a very hard year for all our Tenant’s, and in the first quarter of 2020 we lost both MP and City Church. After speaking with SCC we were able to pick up a New tenant (Family Time) that has taken over the entire first floor except for one room, which is occupied by Computer repair business.

Shirecliffe Community Forum

Directors ' annual report - continued

For the year ended 31 March 2021

The outside space is still a work in progress. There are now quite a few seating areas, it is a safe and peaceful area to sit. Our hope is that it will bring all residents of Shirecliffe together, but as yet we are still struggling with the effects of the pandemic. We also belief it was an active part in securing the contract with Family Time. We are actively still looking for volunteers to keep the gardens looking neat and tidy. Shirecliffe Forum is hoping to work closely with the New Nursery to fully utilise the outside place and secure more funding for the Community garden.

Financial Performance

2021 was a good year for finance for the forum. We hope this to be the turning point for the centre. We now have full occupancy at the centre, and with one group taking all the vacant offices on the first full the administration will become easier, obviously after the initial start up period.

Our sessional income is on the increase with the addition of some more new groups to the centre. We have seen a slight increase in costs including utility and insurance, the majority of expenditure is being authorised by board members. Maintenance costs for both sides of the centre will continue to be substantial as the building gets older. We have also renewed our Automatic door at a cost of £4.4K shared by SCC.

It is still of the upmost importance that the high levels of maintenance and housekeeping is preserved we therefore are not able to cut too many costs in those areas. We have seen consumables rise again due to the pandemic. We have continued to purchase PPE and increase our cleaning regime; we now stagger the cleaning so that the centre is cleaned at least 7 times a day.

The financial impact could have been catastrophic, but due to the lockdown grants we received from SCC and the Big Lottery grant in September 2020 to cover lost income and costs. Staff were furloughed while the centre was closed and then while the centre was partially open. All costs were tightly monitored and expenditure was kept to minimum, the main expenses were on health and safety (mostly Covid related) The centre lost all its sessional income for three months. We are financially in a better position than we have been for the last 5 years. This is down to us furloughing off our staff, reducing costs and adapting to the situation as required.

Plans for the future

Depending on the ongoing Covid situation our main aim is still to try and help the Community wherever we can. We didn’t have a Christmas fare this year but the panto did take place in 2021 and it was a great success even with reduced numbers. Covid permitting we will put on some Easter events in 2022. We are also still looking to hold a couple of Car boot sales during the summer months of 2022 covid restrictions permitting this will put us back in the Community spot light.

We are Providing Healthy Hampers again this winter continuing on from the summer, and hope this will become a regular feature for the centre. We have had some fantastic feedback and are getting a really good name for our Holiday club with praise coming from SCC, local schools and the Nursery on site.

Our Ethos is that we don’t turn any viable project down without careful consideration,

We are still optimistic that City Church still remains an integral part of Shirecliffe Community Hub even though they have reduced their occupancy of the centre.

From January 2022 we aim to rent the stage out on a permanent basis Monday to Friday to our new Breakfast and after School club.

Plans for the future - continued

We have two new groups that have joined us during the latter part of 2021, The Afghan Society and a new Food Bank both great additions to the Community centre.

The Forum is constantly striving to locate new prospects ensuring the financial security of the Community Centre. The forum is still gaining new groups due to our spacious rooms as they are looking to rent rooms due to being unable to carry out their activities in a safe environment in their current premises.

We have also had two enquiries from Save the Children to rent the Hall and 1 other room so that they can run Family courses.

Shirecliffe Community Centre remains very strong after the past 12 months of Covid, and has proven that with everybody working towards a common goal we will survive and succeed.

Reserve Policy

The management committee has reviewed the charities requirements for their reserves, in light of the main Risk to the organisation. The reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirements of the forum on an ongoing basis.

The Forum aims to maintain a reserve of at least It was agreed that the committee would hold 6 month’s general running costs in reserve. Based upon current levels of expenditure £25,000 would be held in reserve.

Free reserves (unrestricted funds excluding fixed assets) at 31 March 2021 were £33,028 (2020: £15,702).

At the meeting the committee also agreed how surplus funds beyond the amount to be held in reserve could be used for the benefit of the community centre. It was agreed that surplus funds could be used as follows —

The committee will consider on a regular basis the levels of funding that it holds and how this funding can be used to benefit the community centre and its associated activities and services.

independent Examiner’s report to the trustees of Shirecliffe Community Forum (“the Company”)

| report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021.

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, | 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 | have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

| have completed my examination. | 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

  3. 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

  4. 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).

  5. | have identified the following matters to which attention should be drawn in this report: e A failure of charity governance that could lead to charitable funds being put at risk

The constitution requires a minimum of 4 trustee meetings per year, however only 1 meeting was held during January 2020 and November 2020, despite the centre being closed due to lockdown, then re-opening when restrictions eased, and only three from March 2021 to May 2021, and none from them until the signing of the accounts in January 2022.

The trustees relied on the centre manager and the treasurer to make and execute all decisions during the covid-19 pandemic. The centre manager was solely responsibly for all salary and supplier invoice payments during the year.

No progress has been made on any of the recommendations given in March 2021 as a result of my 2020 independent examination work.

Since | have provided sufficient warning in the past to you, the trustees, regarding lack of governance, and the situation has become worse over the past couple of years, | am now bringing this matter to your attention within this independent examination report, and directly to the Charity Commission.

1 Accounting Policies

(a) General

The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and are rounded to the nearest £.

(b) Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Sessional and rental income is recognised in the year the session took place.

(f) Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables.

(g) Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(h) Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are donations and other income receivable or generated for the objects of the organisation without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific artistic projects being undertaken by the charity.

(i) Going concern The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

12 Trustees remuneration, benefits and expenses and the cost of key management personnel
