## HENLEY COMMUNITY CENTRE CHARITY 

## Annual Report for the year ending 31[st] March 2024 

## **THE TRUST DEED** 

The Henley Community Centre Charity, Church Meadows, Ashbocking Road, Henley, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP6 0RP is registered with the Charity Commissioners (No.1150878) and constituted by Deed of Trust. Henley Community Centre Charity is also registered in England and Wales as company number 8251879. It started to operate on 1[st] April 2013, when it inherited the assets and liabilities of the original charity (No. 1067812). The main objective of the Charity is to provide recreational and sporting facilities, playing fields, playgrounds and the Community Centre in the Parish of Henley. Henley Parish Council owns the Hall and the surrounding grounds. The Henley Community Centre Charity holds a 99-year lease commencing on the 6[th] January 1998 from the Parish Council. The HCCC Bar is a separate organisation, which has covenanted its profits to the Charity. A Trustee is involved in the management of the HCCC Bar. 

## **TRUSTEES & COMMITTEES** 

The Charity started the year with Jo Austin, Steve Brock, Robert Earey, Lucy Finlayson, Grahame Hughes, Alan Johnson and Barrie Pyke as Trustees. Ahead of the 2023 AGM, Alan Johnson stood down. During the 2023 AGM, Barrie Pyke was reelected and Clare Bevan and Charlotte Gillespie were elected. 

A Parish Council nominated position is held by Steve Brock and they are aware that they can nominate an additional Trustee. 

There are currently no vacant Trustee positions. 

## **CHAIRMAN’S REPORT** 

It has been another positive year for the Community Centre. Whilst Covid infections are in the population, life does seem to have settled down. The ongoing cost-of-living issues have been reflected in a decline of hires and a continued cautious approach hirers to long-term planning of events. 

For the local children, we have organised the annual Easter Egg Hunt and a Halloween Party. Also, at year-end, the Parish Council plans for a playground upgrade where well advanced the Charity intending to contribute fund from our Social Fund to cover the cost of some of the ground works. 

The Henley Chefs and their helpers have also provided the catering for Jubilee events and organised a Burns Night and summer BBQ and rounders evenings. Their profits are divided between a variety of charitable organisations as well as the Community Centre for which I thank them. 

The Deed of Trust requires that the Charity maintains the Community Centre and I am pleased to confirm that during the year we have once again made significant investments in building infrastructure and largely funded from reserves. Top of the list was the replacement of the main hall floor. The Boughton Room lights are now more efficient LED's and replacement Velux skylights have been installed. Also, we have finally managed to identify and fix an occasional roof leak.

## Annual Report for the year ending 31[st] March 2024 

To be able to maintain reserves healthy enough to be used for such investments it is important to ensure that the Centre is well used and we are also generating sufficient income from hirers and indirectly from the Bar. So, I also need to thank Kevin Griggs, who as Centre Manager has been responsible for managing the bookings, overseeing all activities in the Centre and managing the Bar. Stacey, Kailea and Jonathon also need to be thanked for all their hard work keeping the interior clean and ready for use and the grounds attractive and well presented. 

Looking forward, we are looking to complete the Lounge Bar refurbishment which was first looked at before Covid struck. 

I think we can continue to be optimistic about the future of the Community Centre. 

## **CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES** 

The trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit. Over the years, the Charity has provided the use of the facilities to residents and a variety of village organisations at reduced rates. 

During the financial year ending 31[st] March 2024, the village organisations using the hall during the year include: 

Henley Athletic Football Club Henley Bowls Henley Chefs Henley Folk Club Henley Guides Henley Parochial Church Council Henley Players Henley Pre School (Registered Charity Number: 1028129) Henley Primary School Henley Senior Citizens Henley WI 

## **FINANCIAL REPORT** 

I have to report that having reported a surplus for consecutive years, I have to report that for the year ending in March 2024, the Charity recorded a small deficit. However, looking at the bigger picture, over a three-year period there has been a surplus and that was achieved whilst spending over £20k on the building in both of the last two years. It was disappointing that our hire income did fall and was short of our budget, but as there was an underspend of 13%, the deficit was far less than our budget. 

The General Fund surplus before transfers to Reserves for the year was £18,613. In the previous year, this was a surplus of £18,746. The Charity’s income from hiring the centre/grounds fell from £47,281 to £45,909. The HCCC Bar contributions fell from a £19,823 to £19,326 (a covenanted sum of £15,055 plus a contribution to the hall running costs).

## HENLEY COMMUNITY CENTRE CHARITY 

## Annual Report for the year ending 31[st] March 2024 

The running costs paid out of the General Fund were £46,403 and included the wages of Jonathan Bloye, Kailea Boyne, Kevin Griggs and Stacey Knight and we are grateful for all their hard work at the Centre. Last year, £50,155 was spent from the General Fund. 

The slight reduction in the use of the facilities by hirers is unlikely to have had much impact on the Running Costs. Instead, the reduction in the Running Costs is mostly due to the cost of electricity and there were two parts to this reduction. The PV panels generated 4,002kWh of electricity, slightly down on last year, but the income rose from £2,692 to £2,777 for the year. The main reason for the fall is consumption fell from 35,199kWh to 31,185kWh and for 4 of the last 5 months of the year, usage was the lowest since our records started in 2012/13. This can only be attributed to investment in LED lights investments inside the building over the last 2 years. 

The accumulation of monies in our General Fund should assist with future developments and improvements to the Community Centre and playing field. As has happened since 2022, the surplus has been transferred to designated funds. This year £18,613 was transferred to the Building Fund and the General Fund remained at £30,644 at the end of the year. The General Fund has been used to finance the Fixed Assets which had a written down value of £9,347. There were assets worth £2,626 added to the Fixed Assets during the year. 

In total, the spending from all the designated funds totalled £28,329, up on the spending of £23,711 during 2022/23. The Building Fund, set up to provide for longerterm building repairs and developments started the year at a value of £55,833, with £18,613 plus £1,223 interest being added to the fund and offsetting some of the £20,471 expenditure during the year, so the value of the fund fell to £55,198. 

The fund for the purchase of new or replacement furniture, fittings & equipment started the year at a value of £47,292. With £1,411 interest being added to the fund and expenditure of £7,056 during the year, the value of the fund fell to £41,647. 

During the 2018/19 year, the Trustees decided to create a third Designated Fund, to be used to fund village social activities/facilities. 50% of the income received from the Henley Chefs and all the income from MSDC for recycling glass and paper has been transferred to this fund. The contributions to this fund during the year from Henley Chefs was £620, a further £497 from village recycling and interest of £1,007.  The fund was used to support a variety of social events to the sum of £802, with the ticket sales from these totalling £2,189. At the end of the year the value of the Fund had risen from £4,882 to £8,393. 

The Designated Funds are held as cash, predominantly in the COIF Deposit Account and the CAF Gold accounts. The accumulated total of these funds is shown as Designated Funds in the Financial Statements. 

The Restricted Funds started the year at £2,173, with £620 being added to the fund by the Henley Chefs, £107 from this raised during a Church event was donated to Henley PCC. The fund ended the year at £2,686.

During the year there were additions to this totalling £620 and a donation of £107 was made, leaving the total at £2,094. This is held pending further distribution to local charities/good causes. 

At the end of 2020/21, we received a Mid Suffolk District Council Locality Award of £2,659 to be used for the replacement of the current floodlighting of the playing field. To date, £2,657 has been spent with the remainder held as Reserved Funds pending future purchases associated with the installation of the lights. 

The sum of these items in the Restricted Fund is now £2,686.

**Henley Community Centre Charity st Year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **Company limited by guarantee** 

The company is limited by guarantee and has no share capital. 

Every member of the company undertakes to contribute to the assets of the company, in the event of a amount as may be required not exceeding £1. 

For the year ending 31 March 2024 the company was entitled to exemption from audit under section 477 of Act 2006 relating to small companies. 

The members have not required the company to obtain an audit in accordance with section 476 of the Companies Act 2006. 

The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for complying with the requirements of the Act with respect to records and the preparation of accounts. 

These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the micro-entity provisions. 

## **Independent Examination** 

Independent examination is a form of external scrutiny: An independent examination is a form of external scrutiny that provides a limited check on specific matters. This limited form of check (sometimes referred to as ‘negative assurance’) contrasts with an audit. The examiner is only required to confirm whether any material matters of concern have come to their attention, whilst an auditor is required to provide an opinion on whether a charity’s accounts give a ‘true and fair view’. The auditor is required to plan their work to identify material fraud or to plan to test the internal financial controls operating in the charity. An auditor builds up a body of evidence to support a positive statement as to whether the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’. An audit is carried out in accordance with international auditing standards and the audit guidance issued by the Financial Reporting Council. An examination is therefore a limited form of scrutiny compared to an audit. It provides less assurance in terms of the depth of work which is to be carried out and is limited as to the matters on which the examiner reports. The charity has to be eligible to have an independent examination: To maintain public confidence in the work of charities charity law sets out the reporting, filing and external scrutiny obligations on trustees. Charity law requires those charities with a gross income of more than £25,000 to have some form of external scrutiny of their accounts. This thresholds is subject to change from time to time as the regulations made under the 2011 Act are updated.
