TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Achievements and performance

As with all of society the Community Centre's year has had a year of working under slightly more relaxed but still difficult controls, The Trustees are very grateful for the patience and understanding of all our hirers and users during these difficult times. As a management group the Trustees have been somewhat cautious inn interpretation of government guidance and did our best to offer a safe environment for all our users. We are grateful to our hirers who have followed our requirements and worked with us to keep operating when we were allowed. We used our social media platforms and email to be open on what we asked of users and we hope that has been useful to all

We have been pleased to be able to support Yorkley Medical Centre by making our facility available to them for both Flu and Covid Vaccinations. We hope to be a building that supports the community in as wide a way as possible, and the Medical Centre have already indicated their Flu jab dates for us for this autumn's round. The impact of lockdowns and restricted opening continued to impact on our revenue streams. The financial lifeline of the Covid grants has given us the security to meet our standing commitments such as insurance and maintenance costs and has maintained our financial stability. But now there are different uncertainties and challenges and and inflationary pressures to be faced in 2022.

But the Community Centre has continued to be the focal point for the village and the wider area. Our regular users continue to provide a wide range of activities, the easing of restrictions has seen the Mend and Repair Cafe re-open and many new ones have started including The Mother and Toddler Group, The Amateur Boxing Club, and the Digital Support Hub. It has been good to re-open for children's and family parties, We have also been able to provide FAVF facilities so they can run children's activities.in the school holidays.

The highlight of the year was the Welcome Back Day at the end of the summer. This day of varied activities and showcasing what goes on in the area saw over 500 people from the village enjoy a day out with something for all ages, including music from brass bands and a local singer, Art show, children's activities, stalls, School's PTFA barbecue, cream teas, vintage vehicle group, Fruit and Produce show. And we can't omit the evening when the children finished decorating the Christmas Tree with the band playing carols and the lights going on. We have also been able to take advantage of an offer from Arts in Gloucestershire to bring live theatre to the village. Glowing Bright a play about Marie Curie written and performed by Alison Neil from Sling played to a full house.

The Charity Commission approved the change in the Constitution of the Trust that governs the Centre. We now operate under a new constitution (available on our website or by request) in which it is the Trustees who have the power to make decisions without reference to a membership which reduces administration and restrictions.

The trustees are also pleased to have been able to work with the Football Club to put in place a proper licence agreement safeguarding the Club and the Centre for the future of football in the village.

With regard to the fabric of the building and the grounds, we have following receipt of grants and careful financial planning been able to undertake some serious repairs, including car park surface and drainage repairs, safe removal of old beech trees, and re-surfacing of the skate park. We have continued to conduct fire safety and playground safety checks. We must also thank our cleaning team who ensure the building is kept in good shape and the users who have responded well to our enhanced cleaning requirements. It is thanks to everyone who have given of their time and energy to keep the Centre and the grounds in good shape that we can look forward to the next year.

Looking forward we have a plan for the next 3 years, including succession planning and we hope work with other groups in the area for the benefit of the community and remain a vibrant part of the village and the area and we are already planning a series of events including the Queen's Jubilee, a Flower and Produce Show, a Vintage Vehicle Group Display, and concert/theatre events. We are ever grateful for the time, effort, and enthusiasm of our Trustees in keeping our facilities safe and clean - and for being forward thinking about the future.

Financial review

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

The trustees has assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

THE COMMUNITY CENTRE, YORKLEY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

The Community Centre, Yorkley is a charity registered in England.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Charities Act 2011 and "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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charity .

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

1.5 Expenditure

Resources expended are recognised in the period they are incurred.

THE COMMUNITY CENTRE, YORKLEY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Land and buildings 2% straight line Plant and machinery 20% straight line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ) .

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity ’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.9 Restricted funds

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets this criteria is charged to the fund.

THE COMMUNITY CENTRE, YORKLEY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1 Accounting policies (Continued)

1.10 Unrestricted funds

Unrestricted funds are incoming resources receivable or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and are available for general funds.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The 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 where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
