Trustees' Report
The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Objectives and activities
Objects and aims
The Smallthorne Community CIO trustees will develop the communtiy centre for the benefit of the local community of Smallthorne and the surrounding area, together with other voluntary and residents groups, without distinction of age, sex, sexual orientation, race, political, religious or other opinions, to provide an open and inclusive facility in the interests of social welfare, recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving community well being. We aim to provide a financially self sustaining facility, expanding the usage of the centre by local community groups, individuals, and agencies in the future through events, activities and meetings.
Objectives, strategies and activities
We host recreational activities at an affordable cost allowing a deprived area to have access to low cost recreational, educational, healthy and inclusive activities. We provide a venue for low cost private hire for parties, community groups such as R.V.S., keep fit, mother and toddler groups, bowls and friendship clubs and dance groups. We recruit and train volunteers from the local community to run the social society and support those wishing to obtain employment, allowing them to gain experience in customer seervice, project delivery and management, social and recreational skills. We have a drop-in centre where our local residents association. Together with our councillor and local police, hold weekly surgeries for local residents who may have issues to report. The citizens advice potteries moneywise team also hold drop-in surgeries offering free advice to local residents.
Public benefit
The Smallthorne Community Centre CIO hosts a number of recreational and other activities at an affordable cost, allowing an economically and socially deprived area to have access to low cost recreational, educational, health related and social inclusive activities, as well as the offices for weekly "open surgeries" with our local councillor and a "drop in centre" for local residents to report areas of concern to the local police force.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Use of volunteers
All of the trustees perform voluntary work for the charity, as well as a number of other volunteers from within the community. Volunteers contribute an average of 120 hours per week and their main roles are to make and sell refreshments, cleaning, fundraising, organising and hosting bingo sessions, caretaking duties and supervision of groups using the community hall.
Financial review
Policy on reserves
The trustees decided to adapt their policy on reserves to hold higher reserves for future property repairs, as it is anticipated that the number of repairs for which the charity is responsible, due to leasehold commitments, will increase in the near future. Therefore the charity aims to hold reserves of £70,000 for potential property repairs, plus one year of expenses of approximately £20,000, making a total of £90,000. As at 31 March 2025, the charity had unrestricted free reserves of £168,386 (2024: £205,225) which is in excess of the policy and is likely to be spent on the property in due course.
Structure, governance and management
Nature of governing document
The Charity is governed by it's Constitution of Charitable Incorporated Organisation dated 1st March, 2013.

Trustees' Report (continued)
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
The trustees are appointed by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees all of whom have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.
Induction and training of trustees
Once inducted a new trustee is assigned a mentor who is an existing trustee. The new trustee will receive training in health and safety issues and any other legal issues which affect the running of the community centre. The new trustee will also be briefed in the latest financial position of the charity and will have the opportunity to examine financial records in order to gain an insight into the direction of the charity.
Relationships with related parties
Smallthorne Social Society CIC
The Smallthorne Community Centre CIO works closely with Smallthorne Social Society CIC. The Charity made an initial loan to the Smallthorne Social Society CIC when it commenced trading and this amount will be paid back in due course. A further loan was made in this financial period, to support the CIC during lockdown. Smallthorne Social Society CIC rents the bar within the community centre which they pay the Charity £500 per annum for and donates any profits it makes to the Charity, though no rent was charged in the current period as the bar was not operating.
During the period Smallthrone Community Centre CIO loaned £5,000 to the Smallthorne Social Society CIC.
Major risks and management of those risks
The main risks we face are keeping on top of repairs and maintenance of the building. We are hoping to obtain funding to enable us to make some improvements to our centre. Having many volunteers is the key to running a successful charity and we fortunate in having a large number of willing people on hand when needed.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
1 Accounting policies
Statement of compliance
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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
The Smallthorne Community Centre CIO meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Income and endowments
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donations and legacies
Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Investment income
Interest received on bank deposits is recognised as it is earned.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Page 7
The Smallthorne Community Centre CIO
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 (continued)
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the 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 11 of the 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.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Asset class Depreciation method and rate 0% - the residual value is not materially Kitchen Extension and Property Improvements different from the carrying value of the asset. Fixtures, Fittings and Equipment 15% - on a reducing balance basis.
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of is established when there is objective evidence that the will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
