DIRECTORS’/TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Continued)

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing Document

Stockton Dawah Association is a company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital, governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association as adopted and amended between May and July 2012. It is also a charity registered with the Charity Commission. The members of the charitable company guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 to the assets of the company in the event of winding up during their period of membership and within one year of their ceasing to be a member.

Appointment of Trustees

The charity currently has six trustees and new trustees are appointed at the discretion of the existing trustees.

Trustees’ Induction and Training

New trustees undergo an induction process that gives them an insight into the roles and responsibilities of trustees and the aims and objectives of the charity. Following their induction, trustees are encouraged to participate in external training events that will benefit their role.

Related Parties

Other than as disclosed in note 15 to the financial statements, there were no related party transactions during the period under review.

Risk Management

The trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have systems in place to monitor those risks and to take action where necessary in order to mitigate them.

OBJECTS AND ACTIVITIES

The charity’s objects (‘objects’) are specifically restricted to the following:

ACHIEVEMENTS, PERFORMANCE AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

The charity purchased the building in late 2012 and completed major structural building works, including new roof, new windows, new external doors and damp-proofing in the first few years. Internal renovation of part of the ground floor (the main community hall and adjoining rooms) started in late 2013 and was substantially completed by late 2015.

Internal renovation of the entire first floor and additional works to the partial ground floor were undertaken during 2016, including new electrics, heating, lighting, insulation, dry-lining, plastering, flooring, new w.c.’s and upgrades to the general interior of the property.

DIRECTORS’/TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Continued)

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

ACHIEVEMENTS, PERFORMANCE AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS (Continued)

We opened the building in May 2016 and kick-started some activities, including table tennis, fitness classes, street cleaning, tea clubs, educational activities and language classes (for children and adults) which are all run from the community centre. There are also Islamic educational classes for children in the local community and the main ground floor hall is available for functions as required.

In 2018, we invested in a community kitchen which is located on the first floor of the building.

Part of the ground floor still requires complete renovation, which we hope to progress and complete within the foreseeable future.

2020 has been a challenging year for the organisation in providing services, due to the effects of the pandemic and government restrictions during lockdown, from late March to late June, followed by the second lockdown in November. Both lockdowns restricted public use of the community centre, which was completely unused for a large proportion of the year, and services were limited to online educational classes for children.

Since the final period of lockdown and the lifting of government restrictions, the charity continues to provide services to the local community, including daily educational classes, fitness classes and educational activities/support for children. The ground floor community hall is also available for the community to use where the need arises (for tea clubs, small functions, parties etc.). The small prayer facility on the first floor is also utilised daily by members of the local community.

The directors and trustees recognise that, in order to provide an improved range of services and activities, a sustainable funding structure will need to be implemented where traditional activities can be accommodated.

In relation to the charity’s current and proposed future activities, the trustees continue to have due regard to public benefit in exercising their powers.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The results for the year and financial position at the year end are shown in the annexed financial statements.

Reserves Policy

It is the intention of the trustees to maintain net current assets at a minimum of three months average gross expenditure across the unrestricted reserves of the charity and this was comfortably achieved at 31 December 2020.

The trustees consider the overall financial position and state of affairs of the charity at the balance sheet date to be satisfactory and remain optimistic as regards the future.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Approved by the Trustees on 29 September 2021 and signed on their behalf by:

Mr. Atiq Hussain Trustee

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF STOCKTON DAWAH ASSOCIATION

(A Company Limited by Guarantee)

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 December 2020 which are set out on pages 5 to 11.

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

As the charity trustees of the company (who are also its directors for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts 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 your company’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 that in any material respect:

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

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts 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 accounts 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1. CHARITY INFORMATION

The charity (registered number 7880858) is a public benefit entity incorporated in the UK on 14 December 2011 as a company limited by guarantee. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity. The address of the charity is given on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operation and principal activities are the provision and facilitation of religious education, mentoring and youth activities to children in the area of Teesside.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ASSESSMENT OF GOING CONCERN

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Income Recognition

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.

Grants and Donations

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation which require a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.

(b) Investment Income

Investment income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable by the charity.

(c) Resources Expended

Resources expended are recognised in the period in which they are incurred and are shown inclusive of any attributable VAT, which cannot be recovered.

(d) Unrestricted and Restricted Funds

Unrestricted funds comprise income received or generated by reference to the general objects of the charity without further specified purpose. Such funds may however be designated by the trustees for specific purposes from time to time.

Restricted funds are those donated for a specified purpose as laid down by the donor or as the result of a specific appeal or application. Such funds are kept separate from the unrestricted funds of the charity and only related expenditure is charged against them.

(e) Tangible Fixed Assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation.

(f) Depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 15% reducing balance

No depreciation has been provided on the freehold property purchased in 2012 as the building was still undergoing renovation works at 31 December 2020. A depreciation policy will be considered and introduced once these works are complete and the building is in full use.
