The Trustees' Report

Period Ending 31 March 2023

The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the period ending 31 March 2023

The Trustees have adopted the Provisions of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (Financial Reporting Standard 102) —‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities” effective from 1 January 2015 in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 and comply with the trust deed and applicable law.

Principal Activities

The principal activity of the charity during the period was the provision of Community Centre facilities.

Trustees

The Trustees who served the charity during the year were as follows:

Mr F Wootton (Chair) Mr F Harris Mr A P Williams Ms P Gouldingay Mr R Vernalls Ms K Thrupp Mr R Nash Ms P Dance

Structure, Governance and Management

The charity was established by deed dated 16 September 2013, under charity number 1153987, and operates for the public benefit. The principal office is Slade Road, Erdington, Birmingham, West Midlands, B23 7AU.

The trustees held office throughout the year and to date. The power of appointing new or additional trustees rests with the continuing trustees.

The charity has no staff of its own. All decisions regarding the charity are taken by the trustees alone.

Periodically, the trustees identify and review major risks. Where practical and/or appropriate, decisions are taken to reduce or remove them.

The trustees are supported by a local organisation, which has significant experience in developing community services and managing facilities.

Objectives and Future Plans

The Object as stated in the charity deed is to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Stockland Green and the surrounding area without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or politics, religious or other opinions, by associating together the said inhabitants and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to improve facilities and service provision in the interests of social welfare, community cohesion, and improving life conditions and life changes for local residents.

Accordingly, the trustees have discretion over the use of the charity's funds.

The trustees employ an income and Expenditure accounting system, reconciled with the bank balance before each committee meeting. There are financial protocols in place which stipulate that expenditure over £500 must have the authority of the board of trustees.

The trustees consider that the trust’s achievements and performance meet the public benefit requirements and the activities and performance are satisfactory.

Accounting and Reporting Responsibilities

The trustees are required under the Charities Act 2011 and the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), 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:

The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity, and which enable them to ascertain the financial position of the charity, and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the trust deed. The trustees are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Notes to the Unaudited accounts

For the Period Ending 31 March 2023

1. Accounting policies

Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities, applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities SORP (FRS 102). The Trust is a public benefit entity, as defined in FRS 102, and applies the relevant paragraphs prefixed ‘PBE’ in FRS 102.

These financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention.

Cash flow exemption

A Statement of Cash Flows has not been produced as the charity is within the small charity thresholds.

Income

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable that the resources will be received and the monetary value of income can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Expenditure

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay the expenditure. All costs have been directly attributed to one of the functional categories of expenditure in the Statements. The charity is not registered for VAT and accordingly expenditure is shown gross of irrecoverable VAT.

Fixed assets

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Fixtures & Fittings

25% on a Straight line basis

Funds

Unrestricted Funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use in accordance with it's charitable objects.

The charity does not have any Restricted Funds

Significant management judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. There are no specific management judgments in applying the accounting policies of the charity that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements

The charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. There are no estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Going concern

The trustees are satisfied that there are sufficient reserves to secure the immediate future of the charity for the next 18 to 24 months and on that basis the charity is a going concern.

Financial instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. Financial assets measured at fair value comprise cash and cash equivalents.
