The Trustees (who are also Directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) present their annual report together with the financial statements of West Faversham Community Association (the charitable company) for the year ended 31 March 2024. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011, 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, issued October 2009.
Constitution
The charitable company is registered as a company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum and Articles of Association on 25 June 2010 and became a registered charity on 30 November 2010.
The reference and administration information is set out on page 4.
Method of appointment or election of trustees
The management of the charitable company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, standing for annual election by the members, with the exception of 3 appointees, one from each of the statutory bodies operating in the area.

The board continue to review their skills through the skills audit and seek to grow the board in the areas needed.
Policies adopted for the induction and training of trustees
New Trustees, on appointment, are supplied with copies of all
documents and relevant guidance necessary in order for them to understand their role. In addition the charitable company relies upon the guidance issued by the Charity Commission and Advising Communities Our youth and fitness in relation to decision making.
Organisation structure and decision making
The management of the charity is the responsibility of the
Trustees who meet monthly, when the C.E.O updates the board on the charity’s operations. The board reviews the charity’s performance against the strategy, its financial performance and risk
assessed activities. The board consider matters raised by board members or the C.E.O for approval when they are outside of the scope of C.E.O responsibilities for the day to day management of the Charity. Between meetings the C.E.O is delegated to run the charity within the budgets and scope set by the board. In an
emergency, provisions allow for action to be taken by the Chair and C.E.O
Risk assessment
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charitable company is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charitable company, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
During the year the board continued to use its risk log for the charity, which identifies the risks to the charity. Each risk is
reviewed by the board six times or more each year, and action plans are put in place to reduce or mitigate risks.
This new process has proven to be a valuable exercise for the board and has greatly improved the organisation’s risk mitigation planning.
The objectives and activities
The objectives and activities of the charitable company are to
establish or secure the establishment of a community centre and to maintain and manage the same (whether alone or in co-operation with any statutory authority or other person or body) in furtherance of the objectives.

OUR STRATEGY
As 2023 drew to a close and 2024 begun, the charity engaged in wide spread consultation on its charitable work, and begun to develop its new strategic priorities for 2024-2029.
The consultation the chairty carried out engaged with over 100 stakeholders and community members, from this the charity learnt the our work to ensure young people have positive opportunities was seen as the most important area to continue to provide, with 86% of people saying it should continue to be a focus. Loneliness and isolation work came second with 63%, closely followed by increasing engagement in SPA at 56%
The charity sought to understand how stakeholders felt the balance of free, subsidised and charged services was seen by users, and if changes to this where needed. Providing free services was seen as an important part of our work and that our methods of charging for room hire and gym to maintain this is supported.

Carbon Negative
West Faversham has introduced many net zero initiatives at its main site and remote sites, reducing carbon footprints such as; solar power, heating system efficiency, waste reduction and electric vehicles. Additionally, where carbon use cannot be removed it is offset with community activities that have a net zero impact, including 65,000KG offset co2 through tracking food waste in our community fridge. These initiatives make West Faversham a carbon negative organisation, going beyond net zero.
This year the charity has begun to introduce a new cardboard recycling scheme which will increase our ability to collect from the community fridge and reduce landfill waste from the centre and the wider community who will have access to the scheme.

Our people working to deliver for our community
West Faversham Community Association has a team of 42 staff to deliver its strategic aims, with 82% of our team living within 3 miles of one of our centres, key to our aim of having a team that are invested in our community. We focus heavily on the development of our team, and provide a range of learning and development opportunities to our team with over 50% of staff offered additional training and 23% on our leadership development program.
In the year the gender pay gap was below 1% with less the £0.14 difference in average pay. Our team was 34% male 66% female, ranging from 17-70 years old, many with lived experience for our areas of work. Our operations are led by the CEO and Senior Leadership Team.
Our wider Community
Our Invicta Community Leisure brand, which is a registered trademark of West Faversham Community Association, and registered with the charity commission as a trading name of the charity. Under the banner of Invicta the charity continued to operate childcare at Herne Infant School and operations at Aylesham Welfare Leisure Centre, during the year 2023-2024.
The charity is currently exploring options for reducing its involvement in the operations management at Aylsham Welfare Leisure Centre, and focusing on only community provisions and some limited levels of support to the charity that owns the site, due the economic pressures of running the site.
Trading
The charity continues to operate All The Extras Limited as a trading subsidiary of the charity, during the year the trading subsidiary generated gift aid for the charity. The trading company has assisted the charity in the delivery of its aims, in particular around employability and providing social oportunities.
The Board of All The Extras will continue to explore ways to grow its revenue and profits and maximise profitability of its operations allowing it to generate greater income for the charity.
The charity’s other trading subsidiary, Kent Community Trading CIC did not trade in the year.
CEO’s Remarks
2023-2024 continued to provide very challenging climate for the charity to operate in. The pressure on the charity continues to increasing in terms of costs and demand for services.
The charity team have worked exceptionally hard to reduce costs while continuing to provide excellent services, the senior leadership team and board are very grateful for their dedication during a challenging year. Despite the growing pressures on costs from outside, the charity has remained focused on its aims and mission, and delivered impact we can be truly proud of, during the year.
It is clear the pressures on the charity are not going to ease up and likely to become tougher, so we will be proactive in ensuring we take every step to manage the charity’s limited resources for the benefit of the community during the next year.

Chairman’s Remarks
You will note from our CEO’s report that this year has seen some challenges, which I am pleased to report have been substantially overcome due to the dedication of our staff and trustees as well as the support shown by the people who have continued to appreciate all that the Community Centre has to offer to enhance their lives and wellbeing. As with many organisations we have been subjected to rising costs for utilities, maintenance, insurance and rising wages. However, by careful monitoring of outgoings, restructuring has enabled us to staff events more economically, such that we have managed to successfully balance income to expenses but the trustees continue to keep a watchful eye on the situation to ensure the future of the Association.
As in previous years we are extremely grateful to the many organisations that respond positively to our applications for grant funding which, as indicated in our accounts, contributes greatly to enable us to provide services and events at either low cost or for a very competitive rate to users. We have also laid on several free events during the year which have either been funded by grants or subsidised through profitable activities run by the trading arm of the charity.
We continue to be able to act as a conduit to distribute for free near ‘use-by dated’ perishable foods donated by several local supermarkets through our Community Fridge. These items are always promptly collected by residents during the day that they are taken into stock. This service complements the local food bank in that they are only able to distribute non-perishable donated goods.
Some of the food items are used to enable members of the youth club to be able to learn skills in our kitchen by preparing nourishing meals which ensures that they do have a substantial meal whilst with us.
We look future to building on our success as we go into the future and are then able to fulfil our charitable aims.
Reserves and Financial Review
The charity continues to budget to grow the Charity’s reserves by a small amount each year giving balance to supporting the community through challenging times. During the year the charity faced a number of challenges due to the energy crisis and cost of living crisis which used its in year-built reserves, and a proportion of the charity’s cash reserves, while additional cost saving measures were introduced by the board and leadership team.
Public Benefit
When considering the West Faversham Community Association’s activities, the Trustees have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s General Guidance on Public Benefit.
Fundraising
The charity carries out limited public fundraising. When this is carried out it, it is done so through staff and volunteers of the charity at fundraising events such as bingos, quizzes and music nights, all of which take place in our centres and not offsite. Fundraising from the public accounted for £12,502 of income. No complaints have been received with regards to fundraising activities, and no external parties are used for fundraising.
Going Concern
2023 & 2024 wear very challenging years for the charity, in which at times the ability to continue its operations where in question, due to the financial pressures on the charity. The cost of living, energy price spikes, interest rates and increases in minimum wage, have all impacted the charities hard, both in terms of costs but also ability to generate income by trade.
During the year, the costs of operating the charity began to outstrip the revenue the charity could generate, and following the reduction of its reserves during covid, this left the charity with very limited cash available, putting its future at risk.
The board have worked very closely over the last 12 months, with the senior leaders to deliver a robust plan to improve the charities financial position without causing significant impact on the delivery of its aims. A careful balance, was needed.
The trustees and senior leaders, appreciate the considerable efforts and dedication of the charities team in delivering these changes to ensure the ongoing viability of the charity.
Looking forward the charity has managed to reduce its like for like overheads by 28%. The charity has entered arrangements with HMRC around tax payments, and also with other suppliers to ensure the charity’s cashflow is managed with sufficient head room. HMRC have continued to support the charity by entering into the arrangements to reduce the charity’s tax liabilities in manageable instalment payments.
The measures in place to reduce costs include; Installation of solar power, reducing energy bills by over a third for the year; a reduction in staffing levels of 28%; and reductions in contracts and overheads by 18%.
13
Alongside the reduction in costs, the team have developed new revenue streams and improved the profitability of other income areas.
These changes have addressed the challenges the charity faced, and brought the charity back to a position of making Net surpluses each quarter. This has allowed the charity to recover from the losses made earlier in the year. The charity has been able to significantly reduce its creditors from the position at the end of Q1. The charity must now continue to be focussed on managing all costs, and has plans available to it to use should income drop or costs increase to prevent deficits returning. This ability to remain in surplus will ensure the charity is back on an even footing with cashflow headroom, and will be able to bring all creditors including pensions in line by the end of the next fiscal year.
Although the heavy lifting of getting back on track is now down, the board and leadership team will remain fully focussed on managing costs and ensuring issues are rapidly responded to without any delay. There are also a number of additional plans still be implemented in 2025 that will further support the charty’srecovery.
On the basis of the improvements made during the year, and cost base review carried out to reduce on going overheads, the trustees believe the charity to be a going a concern. The Trustees have taken account of the document “Going Concern and Liquidity Risk” Guidance for Directors of UK Companies 2009 issued by the Financial Reporting Council in assessing whether the charitable company is a going concern. The COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing economic shutdown continued to have a lasting impact on the charity’s finances. The Trustees have performed a robust analysis of forecasted cash flows, and thoroughly tested the budgeting for the upcoming period. The trustees have made a number of significant changes to the operations and made use of available support to ensure the charity is able to remaining a going concern. This assessment is based upon the funding available, repayment terms of the Charity Bank loan, cash in hand and the level of free reserves and income expected to be received from the services provided, as well as the changes implemented to save costs, and the further measures available to them if needed. Based on this and the resources available to the charity, along with relying on continued support from HMRC in relation to outstanding tax liabilities, the Trustees have concluded there are no material uncertainties and they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.
Remuneration Policy
The pay of all the employees, is determined by the Board of Trustees on recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer.
Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also Directors of West Faversham Community Association for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
tatias pratectiat - state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS102) have been followed, subject to any material departures expereius ad quae. disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and in accordance with the Charity’s governing document . They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Auditors report
Burgess Hodgson Chartered accountants & statutory auditor Camburgh House 27 New Dover Road Canterbury Kent CT1 3DN
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of West Faversham Community Association (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 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:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its incoming resources and ap-
-
plication of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
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
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
-
the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not ap-
-
propriate; or
• the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charity’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
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. 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.
16
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.
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 trustees’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the trustees’ report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial state-
-
ments; or
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees 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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations, we have considered; the nature of the industry, control environment and financial performance.
We also consider the results of our enquiries of management, relating to their own identification and assessment
17
of the risks of irregularities and possible related fraud. This includes reviewing available documentation on their policies and procedures and performing tests of controls to evidence their effectiveness.
Throughout the audit testing we are considering the incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud. Key areas include timing of recognising income around the year end, posting of unusual journals and manipulating the charity’s performance measures to meet targets. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.
We ensure we have an understanding of the relevant laws and regulations and remain alert to possible non-compliance throughout the audit.
Despite proper planning and audit work in accordance with auditing standards there are inherent limitations and unavoidable risk that we may not detect some irregularities and material misstatements in the financial statements. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity’s members, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’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 charity and the charity’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
