STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing documents
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on the 10 March 2003 and amended by special resolution to allow for current governance on 7 October 2003, 30 October 2006 and 12 April 2007.

The council is made up of volunteers who are all members of the company elected by the membership at Annual General Meeting and serve for a period of three years retiring by rotation. A retiring trustee is eligible for reelection.

Any member so appointed shall retain his office only until the next Annual General Meeting, but he shall then be eligible for re-election. No person who is not a member of the company shall in any circumstances be eligible to hold office as a member of the Council. The Council is referred to familiarly as the Management Committee.

POTTERY BANK COMMUNITY CENTRE LTD (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 30 September 2023
Induction and training of trustees
New trustees undergo an orientation day to brief them on their obligations under charity and company law, the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the committee and decision making process, the business plan and recent financial performance of the charity. During the induction day they meet key employees and other trustees; they are provided with a comprehensive pack containing all the information covered during induction. All trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these facilitate the undertaking of their role.
Organisation
The Board of Directors administers the charity and meets bi-monthly. A centre manager is appointed by the trustees to manage day to day operations of the charity. To facilitate effective operations the centre manager has delegated authority, within terms of delegation approved by the trustees, for operational matters including finance, employment and project related activity.
Risk management
The Trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks including the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and for ensuring the consistent quality of the delivery of all operational aspects of the charitable company. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity.
TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity 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 charity and the group and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
For the year ended 30 September 2023
I report on the financial statements of Pottery Bank Community Centre Ltd for the year ended 30 September 2023, which are set out on pages 9 to 20.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees (who are also directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a Member of the Association of Accounting Technicians.
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:
-
h examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
h to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
-
h to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
h accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
-
h the accounts do not accord with such records; or
-
h the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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
-
h the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).
I 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.

2.2 Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In making their assessment the trustees have reviewed and considered relevant information, including their annual budget and future cash flows. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the trustees have revised their forecasts to take into account measures that they can take with the current resources available to mitigate the impact of the current adverse conditions.
