Activities undertaken for the public benefit
In shaping the objectives for the year, the trustees have paid due regard to the public benefit
guidance published by the Charity Commission, ensuring that the community centre's
activities align with charitable purposes and benefit the wider public.
The community hall and its grounds have been a ￿￿traI part of the area for 20 years. though
their full potential has not always been utilised. In the past financial year, significant
improvements and refurbishments have been made with the goal of attracting new user
groups and increasing community engagement with the facilitie5. These enhancements have
been supported by a variety of fundraising efforts. including family fun days. open-air concerts
featuring live bands, raffles. quiz nights. room hires. and membership fees.
While progress has been made, there are still considerable improvements needed. The
fundraising efforts continLFe, with ongoing applications for funding being pursued, alongside
volunteer-driven fundraising initiatives. to further develop the community hall and its
offerings.

Activities and Achievements during the year
The cornmunity centre has continued in its activities to appeal to people of all ages. aiming to
cater to the diverse interests of both local residents and visitors from surrounding areas. The
hall's potential a5 a rental space, still frequently holds bookings increasing its income-
generating capacity for the local community. This has been achieved through hosting a variety
of events designed to offer engaging activities for all age groups. Unfortunately, we must note
group bookings are down post Covid as keep fit classes and tK)dy sculpt have moved from the
premises. Although other groups have used on a short-terni basis, long temi user groups

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
While the committee has transitioned from a primarily fund-raising role to one centred on
managing and developing the building, this shift has been a challenge. Some previous grant
pots we have used are no longer available, but we continue to seek grants wherever p055ible.
The voluntary trustees have embraced this learning curve. ensuring that the centre continues
to thrive with healthy finan￿5.
We continue to try and secure further funding by organizing popular events such as Sports
competitions, including gentlemen's sporting events, fun days for juniors. cricket
tournaments, and football knockout competition5.
The continued success of the community centre ovies much to the dedication of its unpaid
members, volunteers. and funders, without whose support, the committee's work would not
be possible.
Events after the end of the reporting period:
A5 discussed in our monthly meetings, the running costs of the community centre are rising.
particularly with the additional responsibility of maintaining both.the fields and the builtiings.
One area of concern is the utility contracts that are set to expire in 2024. We anticipate
significant increases, especially in electricity bills, which are likely to affect our disposable
income as we move into the 2024125 financial year.
In addition to these cost increases, we are mindful of the potential impact of the cost-of-living
crisis on customer spending. We may see a decline in the number of people visiting ou r
facilities as individuals and families tighten their budgets. This. combined with the rising
operating costs across various bills, presents a challenge that we will continue to monitor
closely* adjusting our strategy as necessary to maintain financial stability.
We are working with BMBC on possible venues ft>r our junior football teams. As this has grown
to the cur￿nt size m05t teams can not play at Wombwell Main's home address incurring
charges to play elsewhere. We are currently in discussions with the Council about other
venues such as Lundhill & Mitchell's, and Darfield grounds for use by our juniors under a lease
agreement.
The Charity's policy on reserves
The trustees recognise the need to keep reserves at a level which will give the organisation
stability to enable it to continue to operate in the future and meet all statutory obligations in
the event of.winding up. The trustee5 aim to maintain a general reserve in the region of
£20,000 to £30,000 at any one time. At the year end the actual level of reserves held,
represented by unrestricted funds, was £21,213 (2023: £7,977}.

Trustees responsibilities for the financial statements
Law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial
statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial
activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing
financial statements giving a true and fair view, the trustees should follow best practice and:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistentlyi
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable 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 operation.
The twstees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with
reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to
ensu￿ that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and applicable
accounting standards. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and
hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other
irregularities.
Financial Position
The financial statements are set out in pages 9 to 15. The Statement of Financial Activities
shows a surplus for the year of £2,771 (2023: £5.117). Total funds at the year end stand at
£306,371 (2023- £303,600).
Total funds include Fixed Assets of £282,652, balances remaining on restricted grants of
£2,506 and a general reserve of £21,213.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
I report on the accounts of the charity. which are set out on pages 9 to 15.
Respertive responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees 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 {2) of the
Charities Act 2011 (the 20 1 l Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity
Commissioners, under section 145(5){b) of the 2011 Act. and
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
The charity's gross income exceeded £250.000 in the financial year. l am qualified to
undertake the examination. being an Associate Member of the Chartered Institute of
Management Accountants.
Basis of independent examinerfs report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 a150 includes consideration
of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as
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 matertal matters have come to my attention which
gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
the accounting records were not kept in accordan￿ with section 130 of the Charities Att:
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 fairf view which is not a
matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have come across no other matters in connertion with the examination to which attention
should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be
ached.
