## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

I report on the accounts of St Anne's community Hall Association for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages 3 to 10. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The Charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.  The Charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (The Act) but that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: 

- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, 

- To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and 

- To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s Statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners.  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 considerations 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

In the course of my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with  section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 

I 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.

## **1 Accounting policies** 

The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and the preceding year. 

## **1.1 Basis of accounting** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement on Recommended Practise applicable to charities preparing their accounts in (FRS 102) accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of (effective 1 January 2019). (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable Ireland in the UK and Rebulic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

## **1.2 Cash flow statement** 

The directors have taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard 1 (revised) from including a cash flow statement in the financial statements on the grounds that the company is small. 

## **1.3 Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: 

Voluntary income is received either by way of grants, donations and gifts or as contractual income in payment for services and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. 

Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included. 

Gifts donated for resale are included as incoming resources within activities for generating funds when they are sold. 

Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the statement of financial activities in the year in which they are receivable. 

Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable. 

## **1.4 Resources expended** 

Expenditure is recognised on a accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates 

Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes including the charity's shop. 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management. 

## **1.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected life. As follows:

## **2. Chair’s Report** 

What a year it has been. As from the end of March 2020 the centre has been closed almost continually with the exception of a few months where we were able to open in the Summer 2020 due to the restrictions laid out by the Government following the outbreak of Coronavirus 

We are grateful for the support that we have received from government grants which have enabled us to be financially stable this year. We continue to implement our long term vision which is to enhance and offer continued support to a diverse community from an expanding service from the Association using our resources of the Oak Tree Centre and Acorn Hall.  I would especially like to thank Colchester Borough Homes, Colchester Centurion Rotary Club, Essex Association and Waitrose, Colchester for their continued support in all that we do as a community resource. 

Thanks also go to our management body and volunteers for providing both support and work to fulfill our ambitions. 

The youth club has also been closed since March 2020. We are hoping to re-open in the new term starting September 2021. Thank you to all the volunteers that continue to support us to make the Youth Club a thriving hub for young people. 

In closing, I would like to thank the team at Community Halls in Partnership and our local residents for their support in making our community hall a continued success.

## **3.   Invest powers and policy** 

In furtherance of the said objects, but not otherwise, the Charity shall have power to invest money not immediately required for its objects in or upon such investments, securities or property as the Association may think fit, subject nevertheless to such conditions (if any) as may for the time being be imposed by law. 




## **4.   Activities and Achievements** 

## **Public Benefit** 

We are pleased to present the end of year accounts which reflect another successful year in offering services to our area of benefit and the wider community that demonstrate our continued success and financial stability. 

In planning and organising our activities for the year, we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidelines for public benefit. 

Our focus remains to provide low cost or free recreational, healthy and educational activities for our area of benefit and the wider community. This included children’s fitness classes and youth clubs. 

Our long term strategy to increase our services and improve our facilities continues unabated. 

For the following year we will be focused on rebuilding our bookings and ensuring the centre becomes a bustling hub for our residents once again with the help of Community Halls in Partnership. 

## **5. Financial information** 

## **Funding** 

We would like to thank our funders: 

- Colchester Borough Council Councillors – Locality Budget 

- Colchester Borough Homes 

- Waitrose Colchester 

- Colchester Rotary Club 




- - 

## **Income** 

Income is from hall hire, fundraising grants and donations and totals £47,080 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The Charity holds reserves so that it can maintain services to its beneficiaries during periods of economic uncertainty and unforeseen expenditure. It is custom and practice for the Charity to ensure a surplus from its operating activities to fund future improvements and renovations to the community centre to ensure that the Charity has a robust financial future. 

The Reserves Policy for the Charity should be equal to at least 6 months of the general charitable expenditure. This would continue to provide the Charity with working capital should a serious threat to the economy affect the Charity’s income flow. 

St Anne’s Community Hall Association requires an adequate level of reserves to: 

1. Meet all legal, financial, health and safety requirements and obligations of the Association. 

2. Enable the centre to implement its short and long term objectives and outcomes. 

3. To cover annual inflationary costs, salary increments and pensions. 

4. Our Charity financial reserves are currently £12,000.00. 

5. Meet the Charities Commission recommended good practice of having a minimum of 3 months and a maximum of 3 years running costs as financial reserve. 





## 6. **Plans for Future Year** 

This year we are planning the following: 

- Implement another successful St Anne’s Fun Day in August 2021 which had been kindly funded by Colchester Borough Homes, planned for 2020 but delayed due to Covid . This will be a free event for our local residents offering free refreshments, free entertainment and free local information. 

- Provide a Christmas party for the younger residents or St Anne’s working alongside Essex Boys and Girls Club and Active Essex. This will be a free event for our young residents. 

- Provide boxing sessions to our local teenagers through the Youth Club. This is a much needed project for the area to address the growing problem of “County Lines” and knife crime. St Anne’s Youth Club have been awarded separate funding through Essex Community Foundation to complete this. Also postponed from 2020 due to Covid restrictions. 

- Re-instate the Youth Club in September 2021. 

## **Risk Management** 

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to manage those risks. These risks include: 

- a) Operational Risk b) Financial Risk 

- c) Governance Risk 

- d) External factors such as public opinion or relationship with funders e) Compliance with law or regulation 





## **Declaration** 

I declare, in my capacity of charity trustee, that:
