**The Mount Pleasant Centre Trustees Annual Report**
## Public Benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities. Maintaining the Centre on the higher side of the town offers the potential for further enrichment activities close to one of the Primary Schools and the main Secondary School population.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
During the financial year, ending 31st March 2023, there was a marked increase in the revenue received for hiring out rooms in the Centre. One week early in March 2023 the two main rooms were hired out for a total of 50 hours, a level significantly higher than ever before.
On the first floor of the centre building are two offices. During the year the tenants of office one decided to vacate and left on 31st December 2022 to work from home. Those tenants had been there for six years. New tenants moved in on 1st March 2023 which meant that office one was empty for just 2 months. The trustees are pleased to report that income exceeded expenditure by £15,304 during the financial year.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
Reserves policy
The Trustees maintain reserves at a level they consider appropriate.
The charity receives rent for the two offices upstairs in the centre building and from the Social club, which occupies a separate building on the site. In addition the Charity receives income from local residents parking their cars on the site and hiring out centre rooms.
The Trustees, because the Charity has had a good financial year, knows that it will move into the next financial year, with surplus cash resources and no outstanding liabilities.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The above report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime as set out in Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

**The Mount Pleasant Centre Independent Examiners Report**
## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of The Mount Pleasant Centre**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Mount Pleasant Centre for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Summary Income and Expenditure Account, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act.
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity 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 financial statements 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 can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that:
- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the 2006 Act ; or
- the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements under section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the financial statements give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
- the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (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 financial statements to be reached.
