Reference and administrative information set out on page 2 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current regulatory requirements, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) - second edition October 2019 – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)). ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** ## _**Governing document:**_ The Chantry Centre is a company limited by guarantee (registered number 06983485) is controlled by its governing document, its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 6 August 2009 and is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission. ## _**Organisational Structure:**_ To manage certain commercial activities, The Chantry Centre has a wholly owned trading company limited by shares, The Chantry Centre Trading Company Limited (Company Number 07396495). Its principal activity is the operation of the licensed bar facilities. ## _**Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees:**_ Trustees, who are also directors of The Chantry Centre, are appointed from time to time and as and when required from within the community to bring required skills to the charity. Trustees are subject to re-election every three years by rotation. ## _**Risk Management:**_ The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. ## **MISSION, OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** The principal objective of The Chantry Centre is to _“advance education, health and amateur sport and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation”_ for the inhabitants of Dursley and surrounding parishes. The Chantry Centre has the following vision and mission. ## **Chantry Centre Vision:** _**A vibrant hub at the heart of your community**_ **Chantry Centre Mission:** _**As a safe and welcoming centre for the community, the Chantry Centre supports opportunities that enrich the lives of our diverse neighbourhood and supports people to connect, engage and grow**_ To achieve this objective The Chantry Centre makes its existing building and grounds in Long Street, Dursley (comprising of the Lister Hall and supporting facilities and rooms) available for local community groups, private hire and performing arts. The Chantry Centre is currently engaged in a long term programme to refurbish, repair where necessary and make conversions to these facilities to make them suitable for as wide a range of activities as possible. - 3 - THE CHANTRY CENTRE (A Company Limited by Guarantee) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES ## YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023 ## **PUBLIC BENEFIT** In planning The Chantry Centre’s activities for the period, the Trustees have kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. The focus of The Chantry Centre’s activities during the period, which explains the delivery by the charity of public benefit, is set out below under “Achievements and Performance” and above under “Mission, Objectives and Activities”. ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** During the year The Chantry Centre, aided by the initial release of Section 106 funds from Stroud District Council arising from the Littlecombe development, saw a number of significant positive developments. First and foremost, use of The Chantry Centre was up – as evidenced by a 35% increase in income from room hire, supported by a significant increase in smaller donations. This was due in part to improved marketing (a more active social media presence, a new website) together with a degree of “pent up” demand to celebrate special events held over from COVID-19. The range of different community groups and organisations using The Chantry Centre continues to grow and currently stands at over 30 – as shown in the graphic below. The Trustees are most grateful for their support. **----- Start of picture text -----**

The volunteer-run Garden Café continues to go from strength to strength, and its contribution to the wellbeing of the Chantry Centre (both financially and socially) increased during the year. The Trustees are very appreciative of the dedication of the café team. Over the winter months, in response to the cost of living crisis, the Chantry Centre actively participated 4 - - THE CHANTRY CENTRE (A Company Limited by Guarantee) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES ## YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023 in the “Warm Welcome” programme co-ordinated by GL11 and funded by the National Lottery Awards for All fund. Just under 300 visits to our Soft Play sessions were recorded, while other visitors found a warm welcome in the lounge and craft areas. Over the winter Mark, the Centre Manager, and his team of volunteers served up over 500 hot bowls of soup, toasted sandwiches and jacket potatoes. Overall it is estimated that the contribution from volunteers during the year was at least 3,250 hours – the equivalent of 2 Full Time Employees. During the year The Chantry Centre worked with Dursley After Hours to bring their popular community music events “under cover” for the winter. A generous private donation was made to extend this into 2023-24. The rising cost of living drove a number of other developments at the Chantry Centre. November 2022 saw the installation of 30 solar panels and associated battery storage funded by the Littlecombe S106. Several old, inefficient electrical appliances were replaced and towards the end of the year, thanks to generous funding by the Somerfield Charitable Trust, we commenced a programme of LED replacement lighting. The result is that over a 12 month period day time energy consumption fell by around 40% and nighttime by around 25%. Other major works on site during the year included the redevelopment of a part of the stage door area (providing the Garden Café with a more direct entrance) and the removal of asbestos from ceilings at the front of the building. These works were largely funded by the S106 money but also by a generous grant from Dursley Town Council. As a result, any further works at The Chantry Centre can be undertaken secure in the knowledge that the work areas are asbestos-free. Project management of these works was undertaken by Symon Ackoyd and the Trustees would like to put on record their thanks for his hard work in making such a success of this phase of the refurbishment project. If the Chantry Centre is to be fit-for-purpose, significant further refurbishment work remains and the focus continues to be on: - Reducing operating costs - • Improving accessibility - Improving the “kerbside” appeal of the Chantry Centre - Directly supporting the delivery of the Business Plan However, during the year it has become clear that there has been a significant reduction in the availability of grants to support such work and inflation has hit the costs of building works hard. Ongoing funding options are being explored, but in the meantime the Trustees are looking at how they might be able to make best use of the remaining S106 funds. As part of this, a survey of stakeholders is planned in early 2024 to help the Trustees prioritise the refurbishment work. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** As in the previous year, despite a 35% increase in room hire income, The Chantry Centre made a small net loss on its unrestricted activities (of £5,666). This was a much smaller figure than originally budgeted – reflecting the hard work of staff, Trustees and volunteers over the year. However the loss serves to highlight ongoing cost challenges faced by venues such as The Chantry Centre. For example, in June 2023 The Chantry Centre’s long term gas contract expired; the per unit price under the new contract is 310% higher. The corresponding additional cost will impact the coming year’s trading performance – although it will in part be offset by electricity costs savings arising from the new solar panels. The Trustees continue to seek new revenue generation opportunities (including actively seeking out opportunities for grant funding) and regularly review operating costs. It should be noted that thanks to a £40,000 donation, the financial position of The Chantry Centre in the period through to 100[th] anniversary of the foundation of the Lister Social Club, forerunner to The Chantry Centre, is reasonably assured. The donation is shown in these accounts as restricted, but the restriction 5 - - THE CHANTRY CENTRE (A Company Limited by Guarantee) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES ## YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023 allows it to be released for general use as the Trustees see fit from 1 September 2023. During the year £64,237 of the £200,000 Littlecombe S106 money was approved by Stroud District Council and released to The Chantry Centre. This covered three key investments – the new solar and battery system, removal of asbestos from the front of the building and new partition between the Lister Hall and toilets. ## **RESERVES POLICY** As at the year end the Chantry Centre held free reserves of £48,387 being net assets (£99,228 less Prepayments £1,048 and less Restricted Funds in the form of Cash (£49,793). The Trustees have carried out an assessment in accordance with the reserves policy, estimating funds required to cover the following potential future cost risks: - Designated maintenance costs; - Designated reserves for running costs in the event of the unexpected inability of the Chantry Centre to generate any income for a period of 6 months; - Dissolution costs. It has been estimated that to meet the largest of these potential future liabilities would require £40,025, the increase on the prior year reflecting the effects of inflation on all costs. ## **CONTINGENCIES AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS** There have been no matters that impact on the accounts or the disclosures therein in the period from the year end 31 August 2023 until the date these accounts were approved by the Trustees. ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER** Katherine Parkin was appointed as independent examiner for The Chantry Centre during the year and has expressed her willingness to continue in that capacity. Approved by the Trustees on 15 April 2024 and signed on their behalf by Adrian Judge - Chair 6 - - ## THE CHANTRY CENTRE (A Company Limited by Guarantee) INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CHANTRY CENTRE ## YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023 I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Chantry Centre for the year ended 31 August 2023 which are set out on pages 8 to 19. ## **RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT** As the Trustees of The Chantry Centre (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”). Having satisfied myself that the accounts of The Chantry Centre 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 The Chantry Centre’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable 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 that in any material respect: 1. Accounting records were not kept in respect of The Chantry Centre as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. The accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. 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 4. 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 to the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102). 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.

The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for complying with the requirements of the Companies Act with respect to accounting records and the preparation of accounts. These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to small companies subject to the small companies regime and in accordance with FRS102 SORP.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **a) Basis of accounting** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting for Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities in preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (second edition October 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006. The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. The Chantry Centre meets the definition of public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. ## **b) Going Concern** The financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that The Chantry Centre is able to continue as a going concern. ## **c) Changes to Accounting Estimates** No material changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period. ## **d) Consolidation** In the opinion of the Trustees, The Chantry Centre and its subsidiary undertaking (Chantry Centre Trading Company Limited (Company Number 07396495)) comprise a small group. The Chantry Centre has therefore taken advantage of the exemption provided by Section 398 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare group accounts. ## **e) Incoming resources** Income including income from room hire, donations, gifts and grants that provide core funding are recognised when the Charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy and is not deferred. Donations received for the general purposes of The Chantry Centre are included as Unrestricted Funds. Donations for activities restricted by the wishes of the donor are recorded as 'Restricted Funds' where these wishes are legally binding on the Trustees. Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for Restricted Funds but not expended during the period is shown in the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of the provision of services and which is refundable, it is deferred and included in creditors until the criteria for income recognition has been met. Where entitlement to receive income occurs before income is received, the income is accrued. ## **f) Government and Other Grants** Income from government and other grants is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be 10 - - THE CHANTRY CENTRE (A Company Limited by Guarantee) ## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ## YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023 received and the amount can be measured reliably. ## **g) Donated Services** Donated services are included in the Statement of Financial Accounts when received at the value of the gift to The Chantry Centre provided the value if the gift can be measured reliably. ## **h) Funds accounting** 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 should be maintained by The Chantry Centre until the right to expend it is exercised. ## **i) Investment income** Investment income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which it is receivable. ## **j) Expenditure** Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure incurred but not paid for is accrued and expenditure which is incurred in advance of its benefit is treated as a prepayment. ## **k) Statement of Financial Activities** In preparing the Statement of Financial Activities, the Trustees have attributed, where readily determinable, costs between costs of raising funds and charitable activities. ## **l) Cost of raising funds** These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income and those incurred in activities that raise funds. ## **m) Charitable Activities** Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by The Chantry Centre in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature that are necessary to support them. ## **n) Governance Costs** Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of The Chantry Centre and its compliance with regulation and good practice. ## **o) Taxation** The Charity is considered to pass the test set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly the Charity is potentially exempt for taxation in respect to income or capital gains within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 245 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. ## **p) Tangible Fixed assets** All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost or market value as at the date of the acquisition or donation received. Assets costing under £100 are not capitalised. Assets are subject to annual impairment reviews. 11 - - THE CHANTRY CENTRE (A Company Limited by Guarantee) ## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ## YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023 Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of the asset as follows: Land and buildings: 2% straight line per annum Fixtures and Equipment: 20% straight line per annum ## **q) Fixed Asset Investments** The investment held in The Chantry Centre’s subsidiary undertaking (Chantry Centre Trading Company Limited (Company Number 07396495)) is valued at cost. ## **r) 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. ## **s) Debtors** Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by The Chantry Centre. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. ## **t) Creditors** Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Creditors are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 12 - - ## THE CHANTRY CENTRE (A Company Limited by Guarantee) ## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ## YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023 ## **2.
