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

Year ended 31 July 2020

Structure, governance and management

The Activity Den has been operating as a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee since 2007.

Anyone aged over 16 can become a member. All Den groups are encouraged to have a representative on the Den Board. There must be between 4 and 12 directors at any time. Board members can be nominated between 7 and 28 days prior to the Annual General Meeting when Den members must vote to see if they are accepted.

Officers are elected by the Directors at the first meeting following the AGM. The Charitable Company appoints a Chair, Secretary and Finance Director.

There is also the flexibility for the Board to appoint directors throughout the year to ensure that the capacity and skills on the Board match the managerial and service delivery needs of The Den.

New Board Members are given a pack of reading materials which will put the purpose, objectives and activities of The Activity Den into context. In addition they are also given information produced by the Charity Commission to support their role. They are also offered an induction session with the Chair to enable them to take an active role on the Board and make effective decisions in the best interest of the charitable company.

We have continued to consult with our members regularly during Den Groups to ensure that the activities we provide are what our members would like. Democracy is key to The Den's success and our children and young people really enjoy being asked their opinions and seeing their requests put into action whenever possible.

These mechanisms for engaging our members and the community give people the chance to find out what is going on at The Den and be involved. It also adds to our capacity - we were very clear that when we set up as a charitable company seven years ago that we would engage members at all levels - by being involved at group level to organising events. Our model allows us to do this and we believe that now we have finished the enormity of the essential refurbishment these groups will not only develop, they will flourish.

Team Changes

Following our AGM in 2019 Sarah Grey took up the Chair spot again and has been working closely with The Den team on a range of strategic and operational projects. It is great to have her back in the chair after she had a couple of years off!

In September 2019 we appointed Annaelise Carr as a new Den Assistant and she was settling in brilliant until lockdown struck in March 2020.

We recruited two more Den Assistants just prior to lockdown however one employee was temporary due to caring responsibilities and the other assistant left before lockdown ended due to other work commitments.

All of our members of staff were furloughed through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme: James Clark, Lesley Pattison, Tinks Stirling, Michael Siddle and Annaelise Carr. The Activity Den made the decision to "top-up" their wages by 20% so that they all received their full wage during lockdown and when The Den was closed due to Covid-19.

To improve the lives of young people in the Tanfield Lea, Stanley and the surrounding areas, by delivering quality activities and maintaining a community building that is welcoming, safe and accessible to all.

Charitable Purpose

The objects of the company, as set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association are to benefit the inhabitants and in particular but not limited to the children and young people of Stanley, Tanfield Lea and surrounding areas without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by associating together the said residents, local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the inhabitants; and to establish or secure the establishment of community facilities and to maintain or manage or cooperate with any statutory authority in the maintenance and management of such facilities for activities promoted by the charity in furtherance of these objects.

Organisational Aims

To maintain a community building that is welcoming, safe and accessible to all
To raise awareness of the Activity Den
To increase the range of activities offered to the community
To enable Den groups to maintain quality services to the community
To improve networking between community groups, internally & locally

Service Delivery Aims

To enable young people to get involved in Den activities
To enable all members to have a voice in the Den decision making and Den activities
To increase the confidence of members to become actively involved in other community activities and events
To enable all members to make choices about their health and well being

Den Groups and Activities

The groups are; The Woodcraft Folk (www.woodcraft.org.uk), Sound Hub - our music project providing low cost music tuition to young people, and our three youth clubs - Den Shoots for children aged 6-8 years, Healthy Futures for young people aged 9-12 years and "Later" for young people aged 13+. Due to the very broad range of activities offered many of our members use at least two of the groups weekly. The Young Volunteers Task Force support The Activity Den and assist in the running of our youth groups. Young Volunteers all aged 14+ assist our youth worker and the volunteers by overseeing the kitchen area, supporting activities and games and publicising Den activities and events.

The Activity Den attracts a number of volunteers who have a range of skills between them. We recognise that The Den relies heavily on volunteers and believe that gaining additional support from respectable infrastructure and local organisations adds to our capacity and encourages a learning culture within the organisation.

Fundraising and Finance

The Soundhub project held a fundraiser Christmas Gig in December 2019 to raise extra funds and showcase the music project. Thank you to Lesley Hughes and Cheryl Johnson who are Den mams and work for the Royal Mail Group. They helped to organise the event and we got £400 in match giving from Royal Mail.

The Activity Den

Company Limited by Guarantee

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

Year ended 31 July 2020

The Soundhub project successfully acquired funding from Ronnie Scott's Foundation (£6,400) and County Durham Community Foundation (£3,500) to further develop the project and hire another music tutor.

Funding received from the Ballinger Charitable Trust, via Stanley Area Youth Consortium, has continued to support our core costs over the year.

Stanley AAP funding, via Stanley Area Youth Consortium, has supported staffing costs for six week projects throughout the year. Further youth work staffing costs of £2,475 were secured via Stanley Area Youth Consortium from Stanley Community Fund.

The National Lottery Awards for All awarded us £9,860 towards the employment of a Development Worker for The Activity Den. This has also been put on hold due to Covid-19.

UK Youth awarded us a grant for £2,800 to enable us to set up our "Later" group however this was put on hold due to Covid-19.

The Den has continued to be a popular venue to host birthday parties; offering a large hall, kitchen facilities and a separate room for discos. Before we closed due to Covid-19 in March 2020, we had hosted 17 birthday parties which brought in £1,070 as income for our charity.

Strategic report

The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity.

Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity over the past year:

Special events and parties - Christmas and Halloween Parties
From September to December 2019 we had the pleasure of hosting Moritz Lüke, a German exchange student who came across to learn English. Moritz was a great addition to the Den Team.
Sound Hub music project Christmas Gig raising almost £1,000 for our project.
Stanley Area Youth Consortium - working together with other youth projects in Stanley to share information, funding and training opportunities. Also joint events funded by Stanley Area Action Partnership - theatre trip to see 'We Will Rock You', Beamish Halloween Trip.
The Activity Den organised and hosted the Young Achievers' Award Night for the Stanley Area Youth Consortium. Young people were nominated for achievement awards from Oxhill Youth Club, Stanley Young People's Club, Stars Youth & Community and The Activity Den. Stanley Town Mayor attended to support the evening and presented certificates to the young people.

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

Year ended 31 July 2020

Covid-19:

The Activity Den followed guidance throughout the pandemic from the National Youth Agency and the Government. Lockdown restrictions sadly led to The Den closing its doors in March
The Job Retention Scheme allowed The Den to secure the jobs of its employees; 80% of wages were paid via the government and The Den topped up their employees’ wages ensuring full monthly pay was received by all.
Covid-19 unfortunately had an adverse effect on some of the Den's schedule of events from March to July 2020. Cancellations included: Soundhub Gig in March, Easter Fun Day and Woodcraft Folks' International Camp in Kent.
Four birthday parties were also cancelled (one rearranged to 2021) and Keep Moving class was not able to use the building.

Financial review

The Activity Den has £20,610 in unrestricted reserves for this financial year. However, this is mainly due to Covid-19 and being closed for around five months of the year due to lockdown. Some of the smaller grants we have received and are classed as "unrestricted" would have been spent on a range of activities and projects which were cancelled. For example, the Easter Fun Day, trips for all of our groups, volunteer training, healthy eating project and more. In addition, plans to spend around £2000 on a Den Bouncy Castle for hire at birthday parties and for Den groups to use has sadly been put on hold due to Covid-19.

Stanley Town Council awarded The Activity Den £3,000 to support us during the Covid-19 pandemic. We have plans to use this valuable grant for pointing one end of the building, which has been on the "to do" list for a couple of years, plus also contribute towards new computers in our Young Volunteers Centre. This will be happening next month which will be the start of our new financial year.

Plans for future periods

Developing and maintaining a provision for our Healthy Futures, Den Shoots and Later projects with our in-house groups; also developing the Sound Hub Project and our Young Volunteer Task Force.
Update our IT systems and get expert help and advice on how we can better utilise IT for The Activity Den.
Upgrade our website. We have already taken measures to improve this, including adding an online donation button and ensuring our newsletters are available online to download and read freely. Work has been on-going behind the scenes and we will continue with this over the next few months with the intention of having a shiny new, up to date and easy to navigate page.
Work in partnership with other projects to develop the Stanley Area Youth Consortium by creating training opportunities for staff and volunteers in areas such as food hygiene, events management, safeguarding and youth work.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Activity Den

Year ended 31 July 2020

I report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2020, which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position and the related notes.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 you as 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 next statement.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Activity Den (continued)

Year ended 31 July 2020

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006, and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met, or

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 July 2020

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 Charities Act 2011.

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.

Disclosure exemptions

Fund accounting

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

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 July 2020

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:

income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement 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 this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to 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 volunteers.
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 it 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, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
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 activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

The Activity Den

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 July 2020

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets (continued)

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

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 - 20% straight line

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 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 to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.

Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 July 2020

3. Accounting policies (continued)

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.

4. Limited by guarantee

The Activity Den is a company limited by guarantee and accordingly does not have a share capital.

Every member of the company undertakes to contribute such amount as may be required not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of its being wound up while he or she is a member, or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member.
