## **Report of the Trustees** 

## **Trustee’s Annual Report** 

## **1st April 2020 – 31st March 2021** 

The Trustees present their report and accounts for the year ending March 31st 2021, this being our second year as a **Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).** We are advised that it is no longer a requirement under current legislation to remain a **Company limited by Guarantee,** which serves to reduce our administrative responsibility and as a charity our corporate responsibility, releasing the organisation to focus on charitable activities.  The seven Trustees are listed with the Charity Commission and have been recruited on a voluntary basis from supporters in the local community and by invitation.  We continually seek Trustees with the specific skills to suit the charity and we are reasonably successful at this. The appointment of Trustees was ratified by vote at the 2019 Annual General Meeting.  We are aware that Covid 19 restrictions have prevented the organisation from holding an ‘open to all members’ annual general meeting in 2020. It is our intention to hold this meeting as soon as circumstances permit. 

## **Governance and Management.** 

The Trustees hold individual roles and form the nucleus of the Management Team who administer the Youth & Community Centre.  The Team also includes a funding co-ordinator, a youth leader and two specialist advisors. All user group leaders are invited to attend the Team meetings.   The youth section of the organisation operates under the umbrella of N E Youth and is led by three fully qualified self-employed youth leaders with the assistance of a Trustee. 

The Team meets bi-monthly to consider and decide upon all aspects of management of the charity including compliance with all legal requirements, budgets for projects and activities for the benefit of the local community.  The Teams discussions continue to include strategic planning and working towards the 5-year vision for the charity. 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the organisation is exposed and are fully satisfied that the systems and policies are in place to mitigate exposure to the assessed risks i.e., Health & Safety, Public Liability and Building and Contents Insurance.  All Trustees and Management Team members hold current DBS certification, and we demand the same certification from all Leaders of user groups in the Centre who have contact with either children or vulnerable adults. 

## **Achievements & Performance.** 

Thanks to the generosity of funders and the efforts of Trustees we successfully gained funding for specific projects, this year particularly our very successful Summer Programme for children and young people during the school holidays which was fully subscribed and included exciting activities such as kayaking, trips out and sailboarding, not to mention many others. We were able to further enhance provision to young members and to offer further opportunities and services to user groups from the local community. This year we focused delivering several sessions involving preventative measures to ensure young people engage, develop, and achieve their aspirations and take part in activities they may not have had the opportunity to participate in before. Covid 19 restrictions in force during the year have greatly reduced our efforts to offer a full service to our community but by careful consideration given to our priorities and introducing a strict hygiene regime, by and large a successful programme was implemented. 

Premises are clean and attractive and well decorated throughout to meet the expectations of all who use and visit.  The atmosphere is vibrant, warm, friendly, and safe which is a credit to all user group leaders who report their groups thriving and expressing gratitude for the provision of affordable room and hall hire.  We suffered from the effects of Covid-19 and had to close our doors in accordance with Government guidelines however we continued to

deliver on-line activities to our young people and made contact with our users via zoom or telephone to ensure we were able to support them. 

## **Conclusion.** 

We take this opportunity to thank and congratulate most sincerely all who contribute in any way with time and talents, mostly on a voluntary basis.  We continue to work in partnership with other voluntary and public organisations to provide services and widen our impact in the community. We would also like to thank our charitable funders for their excellent financial support, enabling our organisation to thrive and grow, allowing us to offer a valuable asset to our local community.

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011, Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

Independent I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come Examiner's statement to my attention in connection with the examination, which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- The accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, or 

- The accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- The accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 

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.

## **Accounting Policies and Notes** 

## **1 Basis of Preparation of financial statements** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards for Small Entities (effective January 2015). 

## **1.1 Fund Accounting** 

General funds are unrestricted funds that are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds that the Trustees have set aside for specific purposes necessary for the future operation of the Charity. The Trustees have the power to reallocate such funds within unrestricted funds unless and until expended. 

Restricted funds are funds that are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or grantors which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **1.2 Income/Expenditure** 

## **Income:** 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the Charity is legally entitled to the income, and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Where received in instalments, only amounts known with certainty are included in incoming resources. Where grants are received for future accounting periods, these are deferred until that accounting period. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation 

## **Expenditure** : 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to 

9 



East End Youth and Community Centre Year Ended 31 March 2021 

Charity Number: 1149795 

particular activities, they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resources. 

Costs of raising funds are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions, grants, and the generation of funds through fundraising events. Resources expended on charitable activities comprise the costs incurred by the Charity in working to meet its charitable objectives. Governance costs are those costs incurred in providing the governance infrastructure which allows the Charity to operate and comply with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, and the conditions remain within the control of the Charity, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions that have not been met at the year-end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as an expenditure.

## **1.3 Cash flow** 

The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is a small charitable company. 

## **1.4 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.5 Small Items of capital expenditure** 

Expenditure on individual items costing under £500 may be written off to the income and expenditure account in the accounting period in which it is incurred. 

## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and bank overdrafts. Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases: 

- Property: Property is classified as a permanent endowment, where the trustees have no power to convert it into income and apply it, and to expendable endowment where the trustees do have this power. The property is retained and used for the Charity's purposes. 

- Plant and Equipment: straight line over three years. In the event of impairment, assets are written down to their residual value.
