CENTRE WEST (NEWCASTLE) (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEE'S REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act 2006 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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) (effective 1 January 2015)”.

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects is "to directly contribute to the closing of the gaps in quality of life between the people of the West End and the remainder of the City and enhance their life chances".

This is a broad, cross cutting remit. In working towards the social, economic and physical regeneration of the inner west of Newcastle, Centre West currently undertakes a range of activities in keeping with its social enterprise ethos to achieve this including:

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Achievements and performance

The challenges facing the communities of the inner west of Newcastle remain significant. This was exacerbated by the pandemic and subsequent economic climate, which is constraining solutions and altering the public sector infrastructure delivering services to the area. Centre West is taking an incremental approach to these challenges, all the while championing the place of communities in those decisions that affect the area and the lives of those living there.

The Board started the process of planning a new three-year strategy, this was interrupted due to the Covid pandemic. In April 2022 the Board met with the staff to familiarise themselves with the staff agree an update of the charities objectives and approve the update of the Website. All actions previously agreed with the Board, requested by staff, and proposed by Investors in People as part of agreed strategies implementation. The Website update is ongoing.

During the pandemic Centre West and the Beacon partnership invested in new IT infrastructure. Working with our IT contractor the old server and obsolete computers were replaced. The cloud-based Microsoft 365 system was adopted, and staff training was provided which enabled both partnerships to operate remotely. This in turn enabled the staff for Hat-Trick and CHEFF to deliver their respective programmes in a more flexible way. The big change following the pandemic is the opportunity for the team to work directly together, having a positive impact for operations and planning and the staffs wellbeing.

In April 2021 Centre West was assessed by Investors in People and retained its IPP status. In April 2022 the interim report confirmed that Centre West was well prepared for the 2023 assessment and on track to retain status.

CENTRE WEST (NEWCASTLE) (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEE'S REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The Beacon

Occupying the site of the former West Road Fire Station, this £6.6 million development was completed in December 2011 and now provides a multi-use eco-friendly building for supporting and developing community enterprise, businesses, employment, education, and business training events. Significantly, it is a partnership with the environmental charity, Groundwork South Tyneside and Newcastle.

Due to the nature of changing demand a process speeded up by the pandemic. In 2021–22 the joint Board took the decision to concentrate on business support particularly the hot-desking offer and reduce the events offer to meeting room hire only. Demand for office accommodation and artisans’ workshops is consistently more than 70%, the target is 85%. The project after initially requiring significant investment reported a break-even position for the 2021-22 financial year and is on track to achieve a slight surplus in 2022-23. Priorities for the future are - Repayment of the owning charities investment, Centre West £ 253K

Risk – Ongoing dispute with the city council regarding rates liabilities, successful replacement of the Centre manager September.

Governance arrangements for Hat-Trick & CHEFF.

Both Hat-Trick and CHEFF are managed as separate ring-fenced projects. Budgets are approved by the Board and grant income restricted; both also have separate approved business development plans. This provides clarity, regarding, their respective trading accounts and provides protection from community development work commitments. Centre West has reduced central costs and made significant provision to mitigate risk.

Hat-trick

Hat-Trick is a highly regarded community sport coaching and health initiative. It has continued to grow and has continued to develop during 2021/22. Despite the impact of Covid and the late submission of accounts which generated difficulties with some prospective funders. The project generated income of £173,964 it incurred project expenditure of £191,181, £17,217 from reserves was used, per movement in funds note. As part of the Board agreed development strategy Hat-Trick expanded its operations into Gateshead and is negotiating with the council to extend activities from September 2022.

Hat-Trick took on 3 apprentices in 2021/22 who have excelled in their training and contribution to the project. The quality of the training and programme have been recognised nationally, Annmarie Roberts was awarded apprentice graduate of the year, and Dwayne Murray mentor of the year by our training agent Coach Core. Both Dwayne and Michelle Monk begun their level 5 management studies, as did Kate Codling, (CHEFF), as part of their career development pathway this year.

Hat-Trick has established a national reputation for excellence. Both managers are in demand as business consultants for other sports-based community initiatives around the country and this also presents an opportunity for growth. Hat-Trick have strong partnership links nationally, regionally, and locally and this presents opportunities to further develop schemes of work such as family health, community safety, counter extremism, dangers of social media, holiday hunger and steps to employment.

In 2021/22 Hat-Trick’s team of staff and volunteers reached over 2,000 children, young people, and adults,

raising aspirations, increasing opportunities, and getting people active.

CENTRE WEST (NEWCASTLE) (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEE'S REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

CHEFF

Approved as a pilot project in January 2019 the CHEFF project was evaluated against performance in January 2021, the Board exercised the option to extend the project for a further 3 years. In February a trainee was appointed for 5 months at no cost to Centre West to support the coordinator via the YHN initiative. The objectives agreed for CHEFF include the following:

To 31 March 2022 CHEFF had achieved income of £34,870 and a deficit of £34,144 which was in line with expectations.

CHEFF generated an income of £29k over the year ahead of business plan forecast of £22.5K and provided services to over 50 families and over 800 individuals.

Partnerships and community engagement

Centre West maintained effective relationships with Newcastle City Council and other key service providers, navigating the significant policy landscape shifts at both national and local level, restructure and refocusing of priorities. Examples of the value achieved through partnership working is the key role played in the development of business planning for Elswick Pool.

Going forward Centre West needs to adopt a greater promotional strategy which includes regular Facebook posts to promote its activities and those of partner organisations to further charitable objectives in the area.

Financial review

This report relates to the period 2021-2022 during which income and expenditure related solely to the charity’s core activities.

The cash reserves of the charity have been largely utilised in funding the operation of The Beacon over the last eight years but have been boosted by the sale of the remaining property portfolio over the past three years.

Reserves policy

In 2021-2022 the Trustees continued to operate a prudent reserves policy to reflect the time of transition for the charity and turbulence in the economy. The trustees have established an unrestricted reserves policy level to allow the Board to take appropriate action to ensure the continuity of its operations for several months should income be interrupted. It also includes unanticipated costs including staff absence.

Risk statement

Centre West maintains a risk register and regularly reviews and evaluates risk and identifies appropriate preventative activities to minimise risk to the organisation. Trustees are confident that risks have been identified and appropriate risk management measures are in place. However risks are kept under continual review and regular risk evaluation exercises are undertaken with trustees.

COVID-19 risk

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to generate a significant level of uncertainty in the global economy. The management team and Board regularly assess the likely effects on the charity's operations in an attempt to mitigate the risk as far as possible.

Grants and contracts

The Hat-Trick and CHEFF projects, continue to attract funding from a range of funders in the form of grants and contracts.

CENTRE WEST (NEWCASTLE) (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEE'S REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Plans for the future

During 2022- 2023 Centre West’s strategic aims are:

We will continue the prudent management of our assets and explore further diversification of income to reduce risk and increase capacity for further community activity.

The asset strategy will be kept under review to ensure risk to income is minimised and return on investment and community outcomes maximised.

Hat-trick will undertake a review of its business model to ensure its ongoing sustainability. Indications are that the strong reputation the project has developed with funders, partners and beneficiaries places the project in a strong position to address any challenges it may face.

CENTRE WEST (NEWCASTLE) (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEE'S REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Statement of Trustee's responsibilities

The trustees, who are also the directors of Centre West (Newcastle) for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustee's Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.

CENTRE WEST (NEWCASTLE) (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CENTRE WEST (NEWCASTLE)

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Centre West (Newcastle) (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustee's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

CENTRE WEST (NEWCASTLE) (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF CENTRE WEST (NEWCASTLE)

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report included within the Trustee's report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of Trustee's responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

CENTRE WEST (NEWCASTLE) (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF CENTRE WEST (NEWCASTLE)

Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities, including fraud

Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the sector in which it operates, we identified that the following laws and regulations are significant to the entity:

These matters were discussed amongst the engagement team at the planning stage and the team remained alert throughout the audit.

Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations) comprised of: inquiries of management and the Trustees as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims; inspection of relevant legal correspondence and legal costs incurred; review of Trustee meeting minutes; testing the appropriateness of journal entries; and the performance of analytical review to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud.

No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity's controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with section 391 of the Companies Act 2014. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. This includes taking into account the potential impact of COVID-19 to ensure that cashflow is positively managed and the impact to the charity’s operations are mitigated. The Board has concluded that the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

CENTRE WEST (NEWCASTLE) (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Capital grants and contributions receivable are credited to deferred income and released to the income and expenditure account over the estimated lives of the relevant assets.

Revenue grants and contributions received and receivable in respect of specific project expenditure are credited to deferred income and recognised in the income and expenditure account in the same period as the related expenditure.

The funding is received in accordance with the provisions and conditions as specified in the offer letters which regulate the way in which such funds may be spent.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.

A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met. Where a grant does not specify performance conditions it is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable. A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised as a liability.

1.5 Expenditure

This relates to the costs of carrying out the activities of the charity. Where there are costs common to both direct charitable and management expenditure judgement is applied on a time allocation basis.

Charitable activities include expenditure associated with the provision of projects undertaken to benefit the area and property activities for the regeneration of the local area, including both direct cost and support costs relating to these activities.

Governance costs include those costs incurred in the governance of the charity and its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold property 25 years straight line
Fixtures and fittings 33 1/3% straight line
Computers 33 1/3% straight line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

CENTRE WEST (NEWCASTLE) (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.8 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.9 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.10 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.11 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

CENTRE WEST (NEWCASTLE) (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

(Continued)

1.12 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

1.13 Legal status of the charity

The company is limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of a winding up, every member undertakes to contribute to the payment of liabilities such amount as may be required not exceeding the total of £1.

1.14 Joint arrangement

Joint arrangements are accounted for in accordance with Financial Reporting Statement 9 - Accounting for associates, joint ventures and joint arrangements. These financial statements recognise only Centre West (Newcastle)'s share of the income, expenditure, assets and liabilities of joint arrangement projects.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgements

The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Assessing indicators of impairment

In assessing whether there have been any indicators of impairment of assets, the trustees have considered both external and internal sources of information such as market conditions and experience of recoverability. The properties are periodically valued by Chartered Surveyors to ensure freehold properties are accurately disclosed in the financial statements.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.

Determining residual values and useful economic lives of tangible fixed assets

The company depreciates tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives. The estimation of the useful lives of assets is based on historic performance as well as expectations about future use and therefore requires estimates and assumptions to be applied by management. The actual lives of these assets can vary depending on a variety of factors, including technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes.

Judgement is applied by trustees when determining the residual values for tangible fixed assets. When determining the residual value trustees aim to assess the amount that the company would currently obtain for the disposal of the asset, if it were already of the condition expected at the end of its useful economic life. Where possible this is done with reference to external market prices. The carrying amount of tangible fixed assets at the reporting end date was £2,639,918 (2020 - £2,791,460).
