The Foodbank operates every Monday morning 10:00am – 1:00pm. We partner with Leicester South Foodbank (part of the Trussel Trust) who provide most of the food parcels. We saw an average of 80 people every week. Total people fed was 4% higher compared to the previous year. Our food bank presents an opportunity to talk to people about additional support needs to help reduce dependency on food banks. Food bank users have multiple challenges, including debt, ill-health, relationship breakdown, mental health problems, gambling, substance abuse, benefits stopped or reduced because of a sanction. In addition to getting a food parcel, people are also able to have a cup of tea and chat with our volunteers from Central Baptist Church, Leicester. ## **Mental health & emotional support** About 70% of people coming to the Centre Project have a mental health need and often want someone to talk to. Our activities to promote mental wellbeing are organised around the ‘5 ways to wellbeing’ – Connecting, Being Active, Taking Notice, Learning and Giving. The group members contribute to the themes and activities. |**Activities and sessions**|**No. attending**|| |---|---|---| |Cooking sessions||24| |A moment for me - mindfulness, relaxation and aromatherapy||15| |Look good feel good sessions- haircuts, pampering, manicures||40| 6 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 ## The Centre Project Limited |Sense and savour walk - walking in nature|12| |---|---| |Arm chair exercises|20| |'Are you well' phone calls|200| |Drop-in: emotional support|179| ## _**“1 enjoy wellbeing sessions especially art.

We have an open access model, people can come and go as they like, without needing a referral. The sessions promote; - the development of new friendships and reduced feelings of loneliness and social isolation - increased confidence and ability to engage in new community activities - increased self-belief and value to society |•

He was found to have very high intraocular pressure (IOP) and was immediately referred to the hospital. He was reluctant to go to the hospital because it meant not having food when he got back home. He was encouraged to attend his appointment and a food parcel was reserved for him and asked to call us anytime. He continues to receive support e.g. to apply medication, to maintain good eye health.**_ ## **Practical 1-2-1 support, information and sign-posting** We provide practical support and referrals to enable people to deal with a wide range of life experiences such as debt, threatened homelessness, accessing benefits which contribute to poor mental health.

## **Reserves Policy** The Charity’s free reserves level is currently equivalent to 7 months running costs. This will allow the Charity to cover operating costs for administration of the charity and day-to-day running costs; provide against redundancies/winding up costs if a substantial part of the charity is faced with financial loss; and to assist in maintaining cash flow. A review of the policy is undertaken annually within which the Charity’s financial forecast 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. **----- Start of picture text -----**

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. 12 The Centre Project Limited REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 ## **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. 13 The Centre Project Limited REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 ## **5. 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 2022, which are set out on pages 15 to 21. ## **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.
