CTU COMMUNITY PROJECT
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 2015).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objectives of the charity are principally the promotion for the public benefit of urban regeneration in areas of social and economic deprivation (and in particular within the London Borough of Camden). The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the charity commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
CTU Community project [CTUCP] was established to provide centres for business hot-desking space and lease empty shops to give people who have pop up shop ideas an opportunity to trade.
Main activities to further public benefit
CTUCP's main activity is providing free hot-desking space and subsidised private offices for start-up businesses in Camden, this provides a wide range of public benefits:
-
Business Creation: the support provided by CTUCP, not only through business space but also training and collaboration opportunities allows start-ups to experiment with their business model, push for growth, and become viable, mature businesses more quickly.
-
Job Creation: the growth of these businesses creates new jobs, reducing unemployment and delivering social and economic uplift to the area. Many Collective businesses also offer work experience to young people.
-
Building occupancy benefits: bringing blighted and disused buildings into use brings footfall to underused areas, increasing turnover for local retailers and reducing crime through passive crime defence.
-
Business space creation : London's business space is under pressure due to the increasing value of residential units and legislation making the conversion of office space to residential more attractive. CTUCP
-
provides business space, not only nurturing the growth of innovative start-ups but also supporting existing SMEs.
In planning CTUCP's activities for the year the trustees kept in mind the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit at trustee meetings.

-
(a) the relief of poverty;
-
(b) the relief of unemployment;
-
(c) the advancement of education, training or retraining, particularly among unemployed people, and providing unemployed people with work experience;
-

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 202
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE - continued
Significant positive and negative factors within and outside control
The most significant negative factor outside of CTUCP control is the acquisition and retention of empty buildings. CTUCP occupies disused and blighted buildings that generally have short leases. Mitigating this is CTUCP new strategy of acquiring longer term spaces in new developments as part of the developer’s section 106 contributions. BaseKX was a pilot of this model, and CTUCP has secured another permanent space in an upcoming Camden development. Talks with other developers are ongoing.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
During the year the company made a surplus on its unrestricted fund of £31,614. Collective introduces a service charge as a member businesses grows and matures, income from this is used to fund CTUCP's free hot-desking offer and build reserve for future renovations.
Reserves Policy
CTUCP currently holds unrestricted reserves of £350,555. Its transition from grant-funded to self-sufficiency has resulted in modification of its reserves policy. There are large capital costs associated with the refurbishment of new Collective space; therefore, CTUCP continues to build reserves now that it’s up and running in Collective Auction Rooms.
Financial effects of significant events
Issues with acquisition of new space is mitigated by the capital CTUCP has begun to raise from service charge income, which would allow it to rent on a commercial basis if required
Investment policy and objectives
CTUCP may invest funds appropriately in line with its charities objectives.
Principal risks
- Acquisition of buildings: the nature of CTUCP's work means that the largest risk is the acquisition of disused/blighted buildings as pervious CTUCP spaces are leased commercially or demolished. CTUCP’s exploration of longer-term, purpose-built space in new developments reduces its reliance on disused buildings, and the capital raised from rental income could, if required, be used to lease commercial space, maintaining the project's momentum as new sites are sourced.
CTUCP's close association with Camden Town Unlimited BID means that it can continue to use CTU staff in-kind contributions and, if required, direct funding to maintain its operations and momentum.
Factors affecting financial performance going forward
Meanwhile projects using temporary spaces requires flexibility but within these parameters the charity forecasts and has had an increasingly stronger financial outlook going forwards.
Principal funding sources
The charity has transitioned into self-sufficiency from the service charge applied to establish Collective members.
COVID 19
The Covid-19 pandemic had a significant impact on CTUCP’s operations in 20-21. From March 2020 CTUCP waived all service charge fees, they resumed in August 2020. CTUCP instigated a one way system improved cleaning regime and additional covid-safe restrictions. It closed the free hotdesking aspect for the first lockdown, later opening it with a booking system and at a reduced capacity. BaseKX remained closed for much of 20-21. There has been more churn that usual in Collective over the last year, but as of August 2021 the offices are once again at full capacity. The full impact of the pandemic and resultant increase in working from home on the workspace sector is yet to be seen, but with service charges around 1/3 of the market rate Collective occupies a unique space in the market. It continues to investigate how best to serve start-ups in Camden in the post-pandemic world.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
FUTURE PLANS
CTUCP is currently operating a new space, but the priority remains identifying and refurbishing new site(s) to maintain the momentum CTUCP has built up over its years of operation. BaseKX is guaranteed for until December 2024 years so can provide a cushion to any relocation impact.
Collective has been running free co-working space since 2009 and has occupied 18 buildings in that time. The experience gained during this time has allowed CTUCP to refurbish buildings at minimal costs, providing only the features most important to start-up and micro businesses.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland"; the Companies Act 2006; and the requirements of the Statement of Recognised Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (effective 1 January 2015). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The financial statements are presented in sterling (£) which is also the functional currency for the charity.
Going concern
The immediate impact of COVID-19 resulted in all the Collective members being asked to work at home, the impact on the organisation this had was that service charges to members were paused until the end of August 2020. The management team took steps in this period to ensure the building was COVID-secure, and undertook a range of cost-saving measures including reduction of the CTUCP staff team from two to one. The Trustees have assessed the financial consequence of COVID-19 and are confident that the charities financial resources are sufficient to meets its liabilities for 12 months from authorising these financial statements and the budget income and expenditure remains sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a continuing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Legal status
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital.
Public Benefit
The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
Income
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
Income from charitable activities includes bid income, income generated from pop up shops and rental income from sub-letting of the property held primarily for functional use by the charity.
Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events held in the year, and consultancy fees.
Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:
Costs of raising funds includes costs of generating voluntary income, fundraising events and fundraising trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Staff costs are allocated between cost headings according to the function of each employee.
Allocation and apportionment of costs
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis, for example, time spent, per capita or floor area.

Taxation
The charitable company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part II Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Debtors
Other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. Accrued income is measured at the amount due to be received.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Creditors and provisions
Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.
Other creditors and accruals are recognised at their settlement amount due.
Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate.
