Annual review
It has been a challenging year. We have seen the restrictions imposed on us as a result of Covid-19 impact on our key activities and the people who rely on us.
Our centre had to close its doors on Friday 20th March 2020 following the Covid-19 outbreak in the UK. Though we had to stop face to face consultation and group activities, we remained on the frontline providing food parcels, staying in touch with clients via telephone and WhatsApp to help them to access support when needed.
We also supported people’s wellbeing during isolation, which we recognise was incredibly tough for many people. We made regular ‘social check-in’ phone calls to check in with clients. As the restrictions lifted we were able to provide in-person support to some of our clients who found the isolation and loneliness of the lockdown particularly difficult to deal with.

Activity and projects
Food Bank
The beginning of the pandemic in March 2020 was characterised by a shortage of food and household items, which greatly impacted our service users. As covid-19 restrictions forced us to suspend our day centre activities, the demand for emergency food parcels increased significantly and the Board decided to operate a food bank in partnership with South Leicestershire Food Bank to meet this need. The year saw a huge 244% increase in the number of people getting support food and support at our Monday morning Food bank.

----- End of picture text -----
We would like to thank our staff and volunteers for keeping this service open and available to anyone in need of food, including those people who were self-isolating. Our thanks also to all the donors and supporters who have enabled us to scale up our operations to meet the increase in demand. The Foodbank continues to be well used by the community and it will continue to be one of our core activities in 2022.
Community Hub.
Social support is not only about providing an individual with practical assistance, but also consists of interactions and relationships that are felt to be caring, comforting and readily available in times of need.
Covid-19 restrictions led to closure of the day centre, suspending of face to face support. The closure of community centres, the ban of large gatherings and the advice to people to self-isolate, posed an existential challenge for our service users who struggled to remain at home. Many used our day centre for support and the closure means they were extremely lonely with no support networks. Loneliness featured prominently as one of the key issues affecting most people’s mental and physical welling. Often people just wanted a face to face interaction and group activities.
We responded to the needs of our community by providing
-
1-2-1 support . We provided in-person support for people seeking general social support, digital and phone access to doctors, dentists, housing, benefits etc.
-
Social check-in . We have been making weekly phones calls to our members to find out how they are doing. People are pleased to be called and often surprised that someone remembered them.

Mental health & emotional support – Feedback from the weekly calls was that people struggled with loneliness and isolation, complaining of long days and nights, not going out or talking to anyonewhich is ‘doing their head in’. So, we started to invited people who are struggling for a coffee and chat (socially distanced and covid-19 safe). We offered active listening, confidence building and working with the client to develop skills and strategies for dealing with issues that may be affecting their mental health.

- Small group activities – Art and Craft and Nutritious Living activity groups. When Covid-19 guidelines eased, we started to have small group activities geared at promoting both physical and mental health. The sessions were organised around the ‘5 ways to wellbeing’ – Connecting, Being Active, Taking Notice, Learning and Giving. The group members contribute to the themes and activities which have included cooking, baking, quizzes, mindfulness, how to…, anger management and friendships.
The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive with comments such as
-
“Enjoyed wellbeing sessions especially art really helps to stay focused and calm. Such a dedicated team who genuinely help and care about you.”
-
“Enjoyed the fresh cooked meals, makes a change to the vast amount of processed food.”

Client involvement
We have worked hard to keep client involvement at the centre of our work during the pandemic. We made weekly wellbeing phone calls to all our clients not only to find out how they were doing, but also how we could best support them cope with the impact of the lockdown. We also used social media to enable our clients, especially the young people to give us feedback and make suggestions on how we deliver our services.
Plans for the future.
-
Increase our mental health offer, with everything we do having a mental health and wellbeing focus
-
Outreach and home visiting, supporting those who are not able to come to the Centre.
-

and results of financial performance are considered to ensure that Trustees are satisfied that an adequate level of reserves is maintained without detriment to the objectives of the Charity.

The Centre Project Limited
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The Trustees have decided to create a designated fund for building refurbishment. The pandemic highlighted the need to create more spacious and better ventilated community spaces and the designated fund will be used to meet part of the cost of making the building fit for purpose. The bulk of the build costs will be met by fundraising.
Investment Policy
Apart from ensuring that there are sufficient funds to meet the requirements of the Charity’s Reserves Policy most funds received are to be expended in the short term and there is little or no scope for long term investment. The Charity has maximised opportunities to accrue bank interest on account balances and any interest received will be used in the furtherance of the Charity’s work.
Responsibilities of Trustees
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the Charity as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to follow best practice and:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue on that basis
The Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the organisation to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the charity’s assets and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Members of the Board of Trustees who are directors for the purpose of company law are also Trustees for the purpose of charity law.
Audit:
The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011(the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

The Centre Project Limited REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
4. INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CENTRE PROJECT.
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year period ended 31 March 2021, which are set out on pages 13 to 20.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiners report
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
-
have not been met; or
-
2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
