OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Significant activities

The work of ACA is aimed at those people that are, or at risk of becoming, excluded from mainstream social and educational provision. ACA pursues its activities through a facility operating as a community enterprise known locally as Itaca...providing a community café and meeting rooms for use by the community.

Some of the usual work of the Charity was disrupted and restricted by lockdowns as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, many of our activities continued throughout with an emphasis on meeting local identified needs in line with our objectives and our Project Development Plan. Many of the activities were delivered remotely including Community Money Advice, Information and Benefits Advice and Youth Outreach. The Foodbank continued to provide emergency food parcels and many volunteers were enlisted to help with this aspect of our work. The café and It resource remained closed during the national and local lockdowns.

The following activities form part of the Project Development Plan:

Itaca…

Provides community hub operating as an IT resource and Internet café and gives people the opportunity to learn new skills that will enable them to return to work, further training or self-employment as well as to introduce them to the benefits of the use of the internet and Information Technology. The Internet Café promoting digital inclusion is open from 9am - 5pm from Monday to Friday and continues to be used extensively by the community. The café serves light refreshments and volunteers prepare and serve light refreshments including soups. Local people make use of this facility which is warm and friendly as well as being affordable.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Abergele Community Action Limited

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Abergele Community Action Limited ('the Company')

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