Section C Objectives and activities
| Summary of the purposes of the charity set out in its governing document Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit |
To provide the residents of Cottenham and the neighbourhood, without distinction of age, sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions with a centre and focus where all can meet and where facilities in the interests of community welfare and for recreational and educational leisure-time occupation are available with the objective of enhancing the quality of life for residents. SORP ref 1.17 |
|---|---|
| The charity is focused on managing and developing a Community Centre for the residents of Cottenham and the local area. The Community Coffee Shop continues to be the hub around which other activities develop and progress. It is a vibrant and successful meeting place which is used by a wide cross-section of the community. A complete re-development of our upstairs space was implemented this year. This delivered the Skylight Room, a well-specified accessible space providing a comfortable and quiet environment suitable for a range of community uses. We continue to support existing activities and encourage and develop new activities within the Community Centre. We aim to support activities for all age groups – from the very young through mid-age to the elderly. SORP ref 1.17 & 1.19 |

A main focus for 2025 was a significant re-development of our dance studio to create a flexible second activities hall (now named The Skylight Room) with improved accessibility and environmental performance.

We reported a loss for the year from normal operations (unrestricted funds) of around £4,000. In addition, we invested around £10,000 in updating the Coffee Shop servery area and contributed around £9,000 to the Skylight Room project. Our overall accounting loss for the year was £23,130 – with most of this relating to these planned investments. We retain sufficient funds to support all ongoing activities and any reasonably-anticipated repair and maintenance costs. SORP ref 1.21 |
|---|---|
| The trustees consider that we should hold a cash reserve to support maintenance and repair liabilities and to provide a buffer for cashflow and against longer term risks. Planned investments this year and recent losses have reduced this reserve below our target level. Re-building this cash reserve, including repayment of the Community Loan, is now a main financial priority. SORP ref 1.22 |
|
| We have no major concerns in this respect. However, while we operate with reduced reserves, our ability to manage financial risks is reduced. SORP ref 1.23 |

Note 2 Accounting policies
2.2 INCOME
This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.
| Recognition of income These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: · the charity becomes entitled to the resources; · it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and · the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Donated goods Contractual income and performance related grants Offsetting Grants and donations Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period. These mostly relate to the SKY restricted fund. Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated services and facilities Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. |

Volunteer help The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. Income from interest, This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be royalties and dividends measured reliably. Income from membership Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and subscriptions Legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. Settlement of insurance Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are claims met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. Investment gains and losses This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.
2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES
Liability recognition Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Governance and support Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. Grants with performance Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service conditions or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. Grants payable without Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to performance conditions realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised. Redundancy cost The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. Deferred income No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. Creditors The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts Provisions for liabilities A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date Basic financial instruments The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. 2.4 ASSETS Tangible fixed assets for use These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £100. by charity They are valued at cost. The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 14.

| Intangible fixed assets Heritage assets POLICIES ADOPTED ADDITIONAL TO OR DIFFERENT FROM THOSE ABOVE Investments Stocks and work in progress Debtors Current asset investments |
The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.5 They are valued at cost. The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic, scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation rates and methods used as disclosed in note NA. They are valued at cost. Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. The charity has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due. They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments. |
