Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2024

Structure, governance and management

Legal Structure of the charity

The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, registered under the Companies Act. The governing document of the charity is the Memorandum and Articles of Association establishing the company under company legislation.

There are no restrictions in the governing documents on the operation of the Charity or on its investment powers other than those imposed by Charity Law.

By operation of law, all trustees are directors under the Companies Act 2006 and all directors are trustees under Charities legislation and have responsibilities, as such, under both company and charity legislation.

The trustees are all individuals and also members of the charity.

Our trustee enrolment procedures are in line with charity guidelines. An induction pack is issued and the chair of the trustees meets with new trustees to ensure training needs or support is available. The Trustee board comprises of a minimum of 3 trustees. At the Annual General Meeting, trustees may be subject to a cycle of review or retirement at the discretion of the trustees.

Objectives and activities

The purposes of the charity are set out in its governing documents

The purpose of the charity is the furtherance of any charitable purpose for the persons living in Wallsend and the neighbouring area.

In addition the charity, is the trustee of the Wallsend Memorial Hall Trust charity and has responsibility for maintaining the building as a priority object of the charity, in other words its primary purpose.

Strategic Objectives

The continued support of our strategic partner Social Investment Business has been a catalyst for change.

Our combined focus resulted in an interim plan which provides the foundation for moving the organisation forward.

As we move through implementation we would like to take this opportunity to thank Social Investment Business for their continued support and we look forward to the continuance of our relationship.

Implementation, whilst very challenging in the economic climate, goes some way in mitigating risks identified in our risk register.

Work and strategy has resulted in increased partnership working which as well as aiding financial stability is bringing new services and opportunities for residents, increasing footfall through the building.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2024

The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes during the year

Wallsend Memorial Hall and Peoples Centre is a community hub whose purpose is the quality of life of local residents who are affected by social isolation, poverty and disadvantage, which is structural and generational in nature. We are concerned with addressing inequality and taking a rights based approach whilst responding to the identified needs and aspirations of the local community.

Our community hub is a multipurpose Centre that hosts a range of services and spaces to the local community, with the potential to develop new services in response to changing community needs.

Our lunch clubs, tea dance and food bank have continued.

As well as our own services we facilitate and support other partners and many specialist providers, to deliver where they can reach or gain access to their targeted community of geography or interest and identity.

This means the community benefits with services delivered locally increasing their life chances and improving their wellbeing.

We give thanks to all those who contribute to our social purpose by hiring space which adds value to their work and ours.

We also thank our donors most of whom wish to remain anonymous.

The contributions of volunteers during the year.

Without those who volunteer at the Memorial Hall and People's Centre we would be unable to continue offering our services and activities which are highly valued in the local community. The Trustees acknowledge and are thankful for the outstanding loyalty and commitment of each and every one of our volunteers, who go above and beyond, adding to the vibrance, sustainability and homely feel of our Centre.

The Trustees wish to acknowledge a very particular contribution made to the Centre by a volunteer who sadly died suddenly in the Autumn of 2023. Keith Mather was an extraordinary individual and his loss has been felt not just by Trustees and staff but users, stakeholder organisations and fellow volunteers.

He provided leadership to the volunteer core group, providing care and support but most importantly laughs and smiles from which we all benefitted.

Achievements and performance

The main achievements and performance of the charity during the year

The operating environment has continued to be challenging, however work has reaped rewards where partnership and collaboration have been key. It's important to note that this is the start of a new era, and as we for example move to the employment of staff, we dealt with the challenge of shop rentals income that underpins our financial strategy effectively.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2024

We continue to work with H.C. Horizons CIC who support the board with planning, strategy, grant funding applications, commissions and contracts, project development and governance and have played a significant role in the work with Social Investment Business.

They have increased our networks and collaborative work and demonstrated to stakeholders our contribution to strategic objectives for the borough and our wider impact.

We are also particularly proud of the following:

• our continued engagement of residents in services including those with complex needs and in crisis

• our work to improve practice and be responsive and knowledgeable to meet community need and aspirations

• our reach to communities of interest and identity continues to grow as well as the community of geography

• being seen by stakeholders as a key player in the third sector in North Tyneside contributing to place based working

• our measures to improve financial management

• the work of our asset manager to "sweat" space and facility management to gain income to deliver social impact work

• we have income from a range of sources and are not grant dependent

• our partnership with Anxious Minds with regards food work and supplementary services for those who are in need alongside the Veterans Community Kitchen.

The difference the charity's performance during the year has made to the beneficiaries of the charity

Beneficiaries and stakeholders report through our monitoring and evaluation processes. They tell us :

• residents feel more connected and supported

• residents report improved health and wellbeing

• residents were able to take up work opportunities and become economically active

• residents gained additional income supporting the local economy

• community enterprises could continue to deliver in challenging circumstances offering enrichment

• activities and opportunities participation and reach has increased

• welfare rights advice and advocacy continues to provide crucial support to an increasing number of vulnerable people, many with complex needs and at crisis point

• we provide volunteering opportunities for all

Year ended 31 March 2024

• residents feel less isolated and know where they might go for help and support

We estimate some weeks in excess of 1000 residents benefit from our Centre and its services.

The degree to which the achievements and performance during the year have benefited wider society

We are pursuing aims which contribute to the regeneration of the community focusing on the economic, social and cultural needs. We will continue to generate income through trading activity as well as grant funding where possible, to support our social purpose delivering services and products to meet community need and aspirations.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Wallsend Memorial Hall & People's Centre

Year ended 31 March 2024

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Wallsend Memorial Hall & People's Centre ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company (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 accounts of the company 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 charity’s accounts 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 confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

3. the financial statements 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 financial statements 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 in the UK and Republic of Ireland (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 accounts to be reached.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

• income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.

• legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.

• income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.

• income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

• expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.

• expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.

• other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Operating leases

Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2024

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Freehold property	-	1% straight line
Fixtures & equipment	-	10% straight line
Computer equipment	-	33.33% straight line

Investments

Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.

Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.

Investment property

Investment property is initially recorded at cost, which includes purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure.

Investment property is revalued to its fair value at each reporting date and any changes in fair value are recognised in income or expenditure.

If a reliable measure of fair value is no longer available without undue cost or effort for an item of investment property, it shall be transferred to tangible assets and treated as such until it is expected that fair value will be reliably measurable on an on-going basis.

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Deferred income and income received in advance

Where terms and conditions relating to income have not been met or uncertainty exists as to whether the charity can meet any terms or conditions otherwise within its control, income is not recognised but is deferred as a liability until it is probable that the terms or conditions imposed can be met.

Any grant that is subject to performance-related conditions received in advance of delivering the goods and services required by that condition, or is subject to unmet conditions wholly outside the control of the recipient charity, is accounted for as a liability and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. Deferred income is released to income in the reporting period in which the performance-related or other conditions that limit recognition are met.

When income from a grant or donation has not been recognised due to the conditions applying to the gift not being wholly within the control of the recipient charity, it is disclosed as a contingent asset if receipt of the grant or donation is probable once those conditions are met.

Where time related conditions are imposed or implied by a funder, then the income is apportioned to the time periods concerned, and, where applicable, is accounted for as a liability and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. When grants are received in advance of the expenditure on the activity funded by them, but there are no specific time related conditions, then the income is not deferred.

Any condition that allows for the recovery by the donor of any unexpended part of a grant does not prevent recognition of the income concerned, but a liability to any repayment is recognised when repayment becomes probable.

Volunteers

In accordance with the SORP, and in recognition of the difficulties in placing a monetary value on the contribution from volunteers, the contribution of volunteers is not included within the income of the charity. The volunteers and the charity accept and agree that no contract of employment is created by these arrangements. The charity depends on the support of its volunteers for the smooth running of the hall and the trustees value the significant contribution made to the activities of the charity by unpaid volunteers.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.

Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

4. Limited by guarantee

The charity is under the control of its legal members. Every member of the charity is obliged to contribute such amount as may be required not exceeding £1 to the assets of the company in the event of its being wound up while he or she is a member, or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member.

5. Liability to taxation

The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
