## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims**
## **Aims and purposes**
The charitable company's purpose, as set out in the objects contained in the Articles of Association, is to further or benefit the residents of Grappenhall (a district of Warrington) and the neighbourhood by associating together the said residents and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of a social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for residents.
In furtherance of those objects, as also set out in the objects "to establish or secure the establishment of a community centre at the former Grappenhall Library, Albert Road, Grappenhall, Warrington and to maintain, manage or co-operate with any statutory authority in the maintenance of such centre for activities promoted by the charity in the furtherance of the above objects".
## **Significant activities**
## **Objectives**
To achieve its purposes, the company has re-opened the library building to operate as a community library organised and staffed by volunteers and as a community centre for the benefit of all the residents of Grappenhall and the neighbourhood. In addition to re-establishing a lending library, the company has promoted work with children, young people and the elderly and has made the building available to other voluntary and charitable organisations for the promotion of their own activities for the benefit of the community and for letting for private functions.
## **Public benefit**
It is a fundamental principle of the charity that borrowing membership of the library is open to all members of the public without charge. Membership of the charitable company is also open to all members of the public subject to the payment of an annual subscription, which for the financial year 2020/21 was £10. Accordingly, the activities of the charity meet the public benefit criteria.
The trustees will review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity annually to consider the achievements and development of the objectives over the previous twelve months. The review will help to ensure that the trustees remain focused on the company's objectives and the activities remain focused on the company's aims and purposes. The trustees will act at all times in accordance with the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's General Guidance on Public Benefit.
## **Volunteers**
Throughout the year, and in this report, the actions and support of volunteers have been mentioned time and again. There are many people who have been active and we would like to think one and all for their stellar support. Without them nothing would be possible.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021**
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities**
The Chair's Report along with the Charitable Activities Report is prefixed to the accounts.
## **Treasurer's report**
Our Financial Year started in the early days of the country's first lockdown. The building and gardens areas were closed apart from the weekly check per our insurance regulations and our twice monthly grass cutting. The trustees had concerns about income as certain bills would still require payment and although our reserves were good there was uncertainty as to how long we would be in this situation. We applied for Government Funding to help with Covid-19 restrictions via Warrington Borough Council and received £19,669 in total which has allowed us to maintain our position in short to medium term.
During the early part of the year, one trustee indicated that he was stepping down from the position, and the acting Chairman also indicated that he was not seeking re-election at the next AGM. Both resignations were due to ill health. They continue to play an active part in their respective areas of the library, and we thank them for the contributions which they have made to the Board and will continue to make.
## **Friends membership**
When the library became a community resource, the "Friends" scheme was launched. This was seen as a means of providing a stable income for the library and indeed in the early days, it proved very popular. We have been very fortunate that membership fees from "Friends" have continued to be paid and we would like to acknowledge our thanks to them. We are extremely grateful for those who have remained "Friends" and have provided this important source of income.
We believe that many of those visiting and using the library are not aware of the "Friends" scheme, with some believing that they are still "Friends" having contributed in the first instance. For this and other reasons, we feel that a relaunch of the "Friends" scheme would be useful at this time to cement the relationship with the library and provide additional income.
## **Library services**
We were aware that many of our borrowers are elderly and they were suffering isolation due to restrictions and in some cases having to shield due to underlining health conditions. A new venture emerged from this scenario with volunteers delivering and collecting requested books to and from the borrowers. This was done following strict Covid-19 instructions.
As the first lockdown ended and restrictions were brought in we looked at how the library would need to be restructured to reopen safely. We purchased items of PPE and a screen for the library desk and the library was emptied of all unnecessary items. We developed a one-way system using both doorways enabling us to meet all covid-19 measures and mapped out the library to give clear instructions to users.
We reopened in July when restrictions were further relaxed and recommenced our book borrowing service. During the next month, we looked at how we could accommodate some of the activities which use the library on a regular basis and this included putting a marquee up in the garden. With some activities it was possible to develop plans that would enable us to reopen on a limited basis within national guidelines however solutions for activities involving children, tai chi and community coffee remained elusive. Expansion of activities opening was planned for the autumn including introduction of a small number of social events, however Warrington moved to tier 3 restrictions preventing these from moving forward. A craft group continued via Zoom and has contributed to our income on a regular basis. The reading group were able to meet for September/October however it has since transferred to zoom although they have missed meeting as a group. The reintroduction of full national lockdown meant that the library closed its doors once again until 12th April 2021. This created a challenge for the AGM which was transferred to zoom and was well attended.
We are extremely aware of Covid-19 restrictions regarding distancing however during the final period of lockdown the volunteers have organised an overhaul of the stock and book donations, repainting of the library and kitchen, and a thorough cleaning of the entire building the building. The trustees have had the library carpark resurfaced, additional security lighting and outside electrical sockets, painting of outside and inside areas and general maintenance of the building and garden area.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021**
In conclusion, the trustees are aware that reopening of the library and activities is going to be challenging in the short to medium term as there are a complex set of needs for many members of our community including volunteers. Covid-19 has also made the trustees recognise that the library does not provide sufficient income to stand alone and needs the additional revenue which is generated by the various activities which are run within the premises.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
It has been a difficult year of financially for the library due to the pandemic. We continue to raise funds which are broadly equal to the cost of our operating activities. To this end, the library applied and received government funding through support grants from Warrington Borough Council.
In the year ended 31st March 2021, our income was £25,648, with support grants making up £19,669 of that total. Our costs were continually monitored by the trustees during the pandemic with overall costs falling to £12,076, including £3,536 for property maintenance. This means that overall a surplus of £13,572 was achieved compared to a surplus of £3,446 in the previous financial year.
The cash reserves remain strong, and there was £42.116 held in bank balances at the balance sheet date.
## **Reserves policy**
The Trustees have reviewed the reserves for charity. This review encompassed the nature of the income and expenditure streams and the nature of the reserves. The review concluded that to allow the charity to be managed efficiently and to provide an uninterrupted service, a general reserve of approximately £6,500 should be maintained, which equates to approximately 6 months running costs.
At 31 March 2021, the general reserves held excluding fixed assets were £39,641 therefore, the charity has achieved its general reserve required of £6,500. The Trustees' aim to continue to generate a surplus over the coming years to maintain the required level of general reserve.
## **Going concern**
The Trustees are aware that the charity is reliant on donations and fundraising events to allow the charity to continue to operate. At this time, and looking forward, the Trustees consider that the charity is a going concern and that the accounts are produced on correct basis.
The Trustees are continually reviewing the operations of the charity and its ability to deliver its objects during the Covid 19 pandemic. The Trustees have followed Government Guidance and are seeking financial assistance where appropriate and making cost savings where possible. In the opinion of the Trustees significant financial pressure will be placed on the Charity as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic but the Trustees believe they have the structure and resources to ensure the Charity remains a going concern.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
Plans for the future include relaunching the 'Friends', replacing the shed with a stockroom and developing new opportunities to make use of the rest of the site.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Charity constitution**
In accordance with the Memorandum and Articles, the affairs of the charitable company are governed by the board of trustees. The trustees are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles. In the financial year 2019/20 all the trustees of the company gave their time voluntarily and received no benefits from the charity. The trustees are accountable for the overall performance of the company and for ensuring that the company meets its charitable objectives. The Board has particular responsibility for ensuring that grants received for funding the operations of the charity are managed and controlled effectively in meeting the objectives of the company.
Under Article 32 of the company's Articles of Association one-third of the trustees or the number nearest to one-third must retire from office each annual general meeting of the company. The retiring trustees may offer themselves for re-election. Other persons may be appointed to be trustees by ordinary resolution of the charity subject to compliance with the notice requirements of Article 35.
## **Organisational structure**
None of the volunteers has received any payment or benefit from the charity.
## **Induction and training of new trustees**
All Trustees are offered an induction package, including information about the charity, meetings with staff and Charity Commission trustee's leaflets. All Trustees are invited to participate in relevant training.
## **Risk management**
The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against known risks. The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charitable company is exposed in particular those related to its operations and finances. No changes have been considered necessary to the policies in place in respect of health and safety and data protection,however a new policy was written and put in place to cover the guidelines laid down by the Government due to Covid-19.
The Trustees seek to maintain good governance across the organisation and to operate within best practice. Financial stability has been secured by grants for capital expenditure. Revenue expenditure has been met from income, including fundraising initiatives and donations in addition to annual subscriptions from members of the charity and hire fees from letting of the Building.
The Trustees have maintained buildings and public liability insurance with Ansvar Insurance.
The Trustees are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to major financial risk.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees (who are also the directors of Friends of Grappenhall Library for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the 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 those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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.
