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 2025. 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.

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 in relation to decision making.
Organisation structure and decision making
The management of the charity is the responsibility of the team joixxlifestyles and Trustees who meet monthly, when the C.E.O updates the board on the charity’s operations. The board reviews the build confidence. 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.

section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s General Guidance on Public Benefit.

Fundraising from the public accounted for £15,211 of income. No complaints have been received with regards to fundraising activities, and no external parties are used for fundraising.
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.

The Senior Leaders and Board, contnued to reduce costs of the operating the charity, allowing for the charity to increase its free reserves.
Remuneration Policy
The pay of all the employees, is determined by the Board of Trustees on recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer.

Introducing - Invicta Bumble Bees Children Thrive Through Nature
Invicta Bumble Bees is a new nature-based children’s project by West Faversham Community Association, funded by the national lottery, created to support local families while helping children grow, learn and thrive through positive experiences outdoors.
The project offers school holiday clubs, after-school provision and community nature activities for children, with a strong focus on learning through play, exploration and hands-on experiences. Sessions are designed to help children build confidence, curiosity and resilience while developing a genuine connection with the natural world.
What Makes Invicta Bumble Bees Special
At the heart of the project is a belief that children learn best when they are active, engaged and having fun. Activities include:
-
Gardening and growing vegetables
-
Learning about insects, wildlife and the environment
-
Small-animal care and responsibility
-
Outdoor play, physical activity and teamwork
-
Simple STEM learning through nature and exploration
All activities are age-appropriate, inclusive and designed to support children’s social, emotional and physical development, particularly in the early years and primary age range.
Supporting Families Who Need It Most
Invicta Bumble Bees is targeted at families on low incomes and those who may otherwise struggle to access childcare or enrichment activities. Sessions are kept affordable, with pricing structured to reduce barriers and ensure children from all backgrounds can take part.
By offering reliable, nurturing provision during school holidays and after school, the project also supports working parents and carers, helping reduce stress while ensuring children are safe, active and engaged.

Our people working to deliver for our community
West Faversham Community Association has a team of 32 staff to deliver its strategic aims, with 80% 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 55% of staff offered additional training and 29% on our leadership development program.
In the year the gender pay gap was below 1% with less the £0.15 difference in average pay, whuch was higher for females. Our team was 62% female, ranging from 16-70 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 ceased operations at Aylesham Welfare Leisure Centre.
Trading
The charity continues to operate All The Extras Limited as a trading subsidiary of the charity, during the year the trading subsidiary made losses, and the board of the trading company restruted its operations, and have returned to profitable operations. 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
The past year has been one of consolidation, progress, and renewed focus for West Faversham Community Association. Following the adoption of our new organisational strategy, our staff team has worked exceptionally hard to deliver high-quality services that respond to the real needs of our community. Their commitment, creativity, and resilience have been central to ensuring that our activities continue to be welcoming, inclusive, and impactful for local residents.
We are particularly excited as we look ahead to the launch of the Invicta Bumble Bees project in the coming year. This initiative represents a significant step forward in our mission to support children and families, combining learning, play, and connection with the natural environment. The project reflects our strategic priority to invest in early intervention and preventative services, and we are confident it will make a meaningful difference to the lives of those who take part.
Like many charities, West Faversham Community Association continues to operate in a challenging financial 12
environment, with rising costs and ongoing pressures on funding. However, thanks to the careful planning and decisive actions taken over the last year, we are now in a stronger and more stable position than previously. While challenges remain, we face the future with cautious optimism, supported by a clear strategy, a dedicated staff team, and the continued support of our trustees, partners, and community.
I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to our work over the past year. Together, we are building a resilient organisation that is well placed to continue serving West Faversham and the surrounding community for years to come.
Chairman’s Remarks
I am extremely satisfied to report that the measures designed by the senior Leadership team (SLT) and subsequently approved by the Board of Trustees, have had the desired effect in reducing expenditure and increasing revenue this yearn. I therefore wish to compliment the SLT and the way they have been supported in this by the entire staff during their implementation.
Due to the dedication and hard work by those involved in preparing grant applications, we have been able once again to implement several new activities which meet our core values in enhancing the lives of people of all ages. (For detail of these please refer to the relevant part of this document).
Once again I would like to thank the many organisations that have responded positively to our requests for financial support, without whom we would be extremely hard pushed to provide the many free/low cost events staged throughout the year from the small profits generated from our hirers, as we try to keep these prices as affordable as possible.
I would just like to include mention of some of the facilities we have enhanced or introduced during this year with special interest to the younger generation.
The Youth Clubs, held five night each week, now have a dedicated area with varied activities available and these are constantly being added to as funds permit. Each day, after school finishes, we run a ‘cook and eat’ programme whereby school age children come in, learn how to prepare and cook and eat nourishing, tasty meals. There is also a ‘Gold Card’ award scheme for outstanding behaviours with away day trips to theme parks, theatres and the like.
The introduction of the three level Soft Play area into what was previously a very under used performance stage, has been very well supported. As an addition we redesigned the area where there were underused changing rooms and this has now provided a drop in cafe.
With a perceived need for something to accommodate children with severe special needs, there is now a sensory room with many features to stimulate their senses.
There still a number of new innovations in the pipeline for which funding has been secured, so please follow us on social media to keep informed.

Going Concern
Following very challenging times 2023 & 2024 the plans put in place by the board and senior leadership team have made significant improvements to the charities operating profits and cash flows.
Operating costs of the charity are now inline with the revenue and funding generated, with services being scaled back to reflect the growing costs and reduced funding available across the charity sector. This means the charity is better able to manage its cash flow, which still experiences significant pressure at times of the year due to debt commitments from covid that the charity is still repaying and will be long into the future.
The board have worked very closely, over the last 12 months, with the senior leaders to robustly review finances and ensure the plan to improve the charities financial position continues to succeed.
On the basis of the improvements made in the previous year, and the impact of this seen in the current year, combined with the ongoing management of finances 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.
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;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and Temost, temolup
tatias pratectiat - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the expereius ad quae. 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.

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 2025 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.

Notes
1 Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
a) General information and basis of Preparation
West Faversham Community Association is a Charitable Company limited by guarantee in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 4 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are to establish and run a community centre.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 on 16 July 2014 (as updated through Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016) , the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.
The charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. There are no material uncertanties related to events or conditions which would cast doubt on the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the Charity and rounded to the nearest £1.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
c) Income
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charitable company is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
Donations are recognised as income when any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the Charity of the item is probable and the economic benefit can be measured reliably.
No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.
Grants are recognised at fair value when the Charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under gift aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Hiring fees are recognised when the event takes place. Fees received in advance for events occuring after the year end are deferred and recognised in other creditors.
Income from trading acivities includes income earned from trading acivities to raise funds for the Charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entilement has occurred.
Fundraising income is recognised when the income is receivable.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund. Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally on notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
d) Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. Any irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular activities they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resources.
Costs of generating funds include fundraising, publicity costs and non-charitable trading activities together with their related support costs.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes costs directly related to running the community centre. Costs include direct wages, repairs and maintenance, and overheads such as insurance and utility expenses.
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charitable company and are allocated across charitable and noncharitable activities on a pro-rata basis guided by the value of attributable costs, unless they can be attributed directly, being a measurement considered representative of the specific input into each activity. Costs include office and goverenance costs.
Goverence costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and Statutory requirements of the Charity and include Independent examination fees.
e) Company Status
The charitable company is a company limited by guarantee. In the event of the charitable company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charitable company.
22

Depreciation is charged once the equipment purchased has been fully received and is operational.
g) Intangible asset amortisation

“Children’s happiness, well-being and safety are at the heart of the holiday club. Leaders are passionate to create an environment where children feel welcome and can relax, supported by an experienced team. Staff work hard to get to know each child and their families well. This helps them to meet individual needs and make sure that children feel valued. Relationships between staff and children are very positive.”
