The Trustees meet monthly and more often as necessary. The Trustees delegate the running of the
Centre to the employed staff and team of volunteers.

Achievements and Performance
Community Centre
We have continued to enjoy the benefits of the £ioo,000 Solar and Environmental Projett
completed in September 2021, although we still had a loan of £151000 Outstanding at the beginning
of the year. The Centre is now using much of its own generated electricity to SUPPOrt its activities.
We are grateful to those who have continued to support the Centre with grants and loans, and these
are detailed later in this report. The project included the following works:
Renew the Main Hall roof
Add 40 solar panels to the new roof
Provide battery storage
Replace the wall on the southern boundary with a fence and gate to allow better access to
the adjoining Play Park
Replace the fencing and retaining wall to the eastern boundary
Extend the newfencing to separate the overflow parking at the front of the Centre
Provide 2 x Electric Vehicle Charging Points
The Ev Charging Points were commissioned during the year and after a slow start these produced a
net income (after management fee and VAT deducted) of £1,052 for the year. This income is used
to help pay forthe electricity used to charge the vehicles and also goes towards the running cost5 of
the Centre, including repayment of the outstanding loan for their provision.
We were delighted that our project was featured in OxFutures Social Impact Report 2023 as a case
study. OxFutures funded our Energy Audit (2019) and also provided a grant of £71300 towards the
Solar and Environmental Project.
The Trustees have let one room in the Community Centre to The Police and Crime Commissioner for
Thames Valley for use by its Community Police Officers under a lease for seven years dated 12
th
January 2015. The lease has been renewed for a further period of seven year5 from January 2022.
We have continued to seek external funding for paying off the outstanding loan of £15ioooforthe
Project, taken out to enable the project to be undertaken in July-september 2021, thereby
protecting other grant conditions that were time limited. We launched an Appeal 2023 to help pay
off this loan by writing to previous donors, but this has only produced £140 plus Gift Aid. We
therefore decided to apply toThe Big Give (as we had done in previous years) and although we were
not offered a Charity Champion to match our own fundraising, we were given the opportunity to run
our own match funding campaign with ourown pledgers. Thanks to the nine pledgers (including
Cumnor Parish Council - £200 and a Charitable Trust- also £200) who between them promised
th
th
£11900 if we could raise a similar amount between 17 December 2023 and 26 January 2024.
Thanks also to our 48 on-line donors who between them not only raised the £1,900 required but also
made additional donations. The grand total was £51551.30 (including £895 of Gift Aid) of which
£5,000 was used to reduce the outstanding loan from £15,000 to £10,000.

Lottery in July 2021 and this year we have raised £492 from this source.

The Trustees are pleased to report that the spaces in the Centre have been used on over 11321
occasions {202212023- 1020) by 93 different hirers (202212023 - 89). Many of these are regular

conjunction with other bookings.

Financial Review
Total Incoming Resources were £391635 during the period ended 31 March 2024 (£331029- March
2023) and Total Resource5 Expended £41,004 (£42,082 - March 2023), producing a deficit of income
over expenditure of £11369. Including the balance broughtforward on iApril 20231 total funds
decreased from £841321 (31 March 2023) to £821953 as at 31 March 2024. However, of this amount,
£671794 are designated income funds to be used in meeting our requirements for depreciation over
future years,
In Note 7 to the Accounts, there is a credit of £11413 under Governance, This relates to an
overpayment for our licence for Music Usage in Community Buildings (2020- 2023) which had been
based on our income pre-COVID-19 pandemic. The annual licence fee has now been updated and
this credit 15 a one-off amount forthis year only.
The Trustees note that in its tenth full year of operation, although the income from its charitable
activities exceeded the figure proposed in it5 business plan, much of this income came from one-off
grants to compensate for lost income whilst the Centre was closed and from grants received for the
Roofing, Solar and Fencing Project.
As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic eased, DCCA has acted fully on advice from Community
First Oxford5hire and Action with Communitie5 in Rural England (ACRE) on how to ensure, asfar as
possible, that The Centre is a covid-secure environment for our users, staff and volunteers. As a
result, our expenditure on cleaning continued to absorb a high proportion of our letting income.

DEAN COURT COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
(A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
Reserves Policy
The usual aim of the Trustees Is to have unrestricted cash equivalent reserves of at least £8,000
being equivalent to three months running costs.
As a result of the building project in 202112022, the capital costs of which will be depreciated overa
number of years, and as we used our unrestricted reserves as at 31 March 2021, also to fund the
project, we Still have a negative balance in respect of our reserves policy a5 at31 March 2024.
However, the Trustees are confident that given the increase in the number of bookings throughout
the yearthat they will continue to operate successfully and will also continue to seek funds to repay
the internal loans, seeking to have a positive unrestricted reserve as at 31 March 2025.
With the solar panels and storage battery mitigating the impact of future energy price increases,
togetherwith the income generated from the EV charging points, we are confidentthat the Centre
will continue to be affordable forfuture users. We have also been able to arrange a smart export
guarantee with our electricity supplier so that we are now paid for any excess energy that we have
generated but are unable to either use atthe time or store in our battery.
Grant Making Policy
The main charitable purpose of Dean Court Community Association 15 currently to run the
Community Centre for the benefit of local organisations and individuals living in Cumnor and North
Hinksey Parishes,
Its prime purpose is therefore to use its income generated from room hire to pay for the expenses of
running the centre including staff, energy costs and maintenance,
It therefore does not offer grants to either individuals or other organi5ation5 that are unrelated to
the running of the Centre.
It will however consider applications for grantsfrom potential hirers who can show the following:
a) They live within Cumnoror North Hinksey Parish
b) The reason for the grant is to reduce the cost of hiring a roomlroom5 Wlthin the Centre
Any grant offered will be a reduction in the hire costs, and not paid in cash
d} If an organisation, by supplying their last set of accounts (to include a statement of income and
expenditure for its last accounting year together with the amount in reserves).
The maximum value of any grant offered will not normally exceed £250.
All applications must be by letter to the Trustees stating what the applicant wishes to do, the
purpose of the grant and the amount of grant requested. All application5 will be acknowledged and
applicants informed of the timescale for making a decision.

We were pleased to be able to offersubsidised hiring ratesto 9 local organisations and charities
during the year.
Legal liabilities
The Trustees have entered into a lease forthe building with the Vale of White Horse District Council
for a period of 25 year5 commencing on 27 February 2014. The lease is on a full repairing and
insuring basis and the estimated costs of meeting these liabilities have been included in the five-year
Business Plan. The rent payable is subject to review every five years, with the increase based on
increases in the Retail Prices Index. The rent was reviewed in February 2024.
The Trustees entered into a sub-lease with the Thames Valley Police for a period of 7 years
th
commencing on 12 January 2015. The lease was renewed in January 2022 for a further period of 7
years. The tenant pays an initial rent of £250 per annum together with a service charge (estimated at
£300 perannum) relating to the landlord's costs of managing and maintaining the premises. The
Trustees produce service charge accounts each year and these have shown that actual costs do not
exceed the estimated figure.
Investment Policy
The association's fund5 are maintained within a business current account at the Co-operative Bank.
The association also has an interest bearing bank account with Virgin Moneyi giving itself greater
protection for its liquid assets.
Given its tenth year of operation, the Trustees consider that the cash reserves Position 15 reasonable
for the size of it5 overall operation and therefore currently do not propose to make any long term
investments. Any surplus funds are being applied to the building projectthat started in July 2021.
People
The Trustees have been supported by two paid administrative staff for most of the year and wish to
record their thanks to them for maintaining the bookings and related financial activity so efficiently.
The Trustees have a pension scheme with Nest (National Employment Savings Trust) and staff
members are invited tojoin thi5 scheme. The Trustees are registered as an employer with HMRC
giving them greater flexibility in the future employment of staff.
Following Staff Appraisals during the year, it was clearthatthe IT equipment used by our staff
needed updating. The Trustees therefore purchased two designated laptops and associated
software for use by the two members of staff and this has enabled our staff to work more efficiently
both on site and also from home.
The Trustees wish to record their thanks to Celia Clark who has organised Court Crafting for over io
years and for her regular commitment to providing this activity for the benefit of local residents.
The Trustees also wish to thank the volunteers and staff who spent many hours keeping up to date
with the current Government regulations and ensuring that the Centre could be let safely, and
supporting the centre in various way5, including opening and closing the Community Centre for
occasional hirers.

**DEAN COURT COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Dean Court Community Association** 

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages 12 to 20. 

## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner 

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The 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. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## Basis of independent examiner's report 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 you as 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 

SPX Oxford Limited provides bookkeeping services to Dean Court Community Association and I am an employee of this company. In order to maintain independence, I confirm that I have not been involved in provision of the bookkeeping service. 

I also confirm that as a member of Chartered Association of Certified Accountants, I am subject to the provisions of the FRC's Revised Ethical Standard (2016). This standard has been applied throughout this independent examination. 

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 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting 

principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities 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.
