The trustees here present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.

2. The Woodfield Pavilion

2.1 After eight years of preparation by themselves and others which began before the Charity was constituted, the trustees of TWP are currently responsible for a refurbished sports pavilion that sits in the north western corner of what was once called the Woodfield Recreation Ground, 2.1 hectares of open space abutting on and joined with the north-eastern boundary of Tooting Bec Common. This pavilion, now named the Woodfield Pavilion, was built in 1933 and refurbished from September 2018 to June 2019. It is held by the trustees on a 25-year peppercorn lease from the London Borough of Wandsworth, its owner, and the manager of the Tooting Commons. Situated, however, within the London Borough of Lambeth, it is subject to Lambeth planning policy.
2.2 The pavilion has a moderately large (56m2), flexible, meeting-cum-exhibition space on the ground floor. This is flanked to the north and south by a kitchen and two lobbies that open to toilets, to a stairway, and to a locker room. The wall to the east has doors that open directly to the outside but are sheltered by a veranda. An upper floor, opened up by the stairway, provides considerable storage space and a modest administrative office-cum-meeting room.
2.3 The veranda provides additional usable external space. The whole of the external space within the premises is paved with a porous material and provides bicycle stands, water butts and lockable rubbish shed. Two permanent benches on the western side of the pavilion face Tooting Bec Common, which is effectively connected to the Woodfield Ground.

3. Objectives and activities for the public benefit

3.1 . The trustees here confirm that they refer to the Charity Commission’s guidance on the public benefit when reviewing the TWP’s aims and objectives and in updating their Business Plan.

3.2. TWP aims to engage with the diversity of its local communities and natural environment, promoting health and sustainability in everything it does. It is devoted to using the Woodfield Pavilion and the surrounding open land in ways that appeal to, and benefit, a wide range of users. It aims to develop the pavilion as a 'go-to hub' for people to share in culture, festivities, ideas, learning and well-being. Its specified aims include those of:

a. Providing a safe space for training, learning, recreation and leisure;
b. Promoting the appreciation of the natural environment;
c. Protecting and enhancing the natural environment of the Woodfield Ground and Tooting Bec Common;
d. Becoming financially sustainable;
e. Increasing the Charity’s membership;
f. Establishing a Management Team that optimises the use of volunteers;
g. Attracting capable trustees from as wide a range of people as possible;
h. Actively engaging with local people, groups and institutions; and
i. Actively extending the benefits of Woodfield to vulnerable and socially excluded people.

4. Achievements and performance in 2021 in the continued context of Covid-19

4.1 The National Lottery Heritage Fund grant awarded previously continued to be utilised to pay for the continued Full Time Manager in 2021. With additional prudence of part time Furlough in the 3[rd] Lockdown there remains a small balance remaining for the early part of 2022.
4.2 On 6[th] January 2021 the government announced what was to be its third tranche of Covid-19 restrictions on activity. Reacting to this, the trustees immediately closed the pavilion and Furloughed TWP’s manager from 18[th] January. Initially this was on a basis of working 2 days per week, and then as some opening up was possible from April this was gradually increased until Full time work resumed in late June. This relieved the finances of TWP and made the manager available for some administrative purposes as the pavilion was being opened gradually to some users.
4.3 Because the pavilion was unavailable for public use from January to April, and then for limited use until July, TWP continued to use virtual platforms to hold a Quiz and Sew What activities. Additionally Educational users were able to use the Pavilion during the closed period for Pre-school children – Mini Crotchets provided small group music classes for Toddlers.
4.4 In January, whilst the pavilion was closed to the public the Manager, Janet Baker, utilised the space to operate a Food Hub, receiving donated food, largely from Healthy Living Platform (HLP), but also significant quantities from her and Sue Sheehan’s neighbours. The food was then organised into sizable parcels and delivered to households in Lambeth and Wandsworth that were struggling during the later lockdowns. The initial list came via HLP but was soon added to. The hub was run entirely with local volunteers, a pool of about 9, and weekly served approx. 15 families. As the restrictions changed the parcels were often collected, and eventually ran Cook-a-long sessions with many of the families who ate together, and then took food parcels home. These continued until the end of October.
4.5 From mid-April as the phased relaxation of the Covid restrictions continued some small group classes started providing more Educational activity being run by Rites for Girls and London Dance Academy, and Yoga classes started to provide much needed Wellbeing for the community. The Pavilion was also able to start opening up for Outdoor activity with the first Seedling Saturday.
4.6 With the return to full time working of the Manager in June activities and bookings began to return to normal levels with our own programme of activities and events as well as Venue Hire both Business and Private Venue Hire bookings which were possible with the rule changes during July.
4.7 Bookings have built up since the easing of regulations. The Private venue hires have returned, and since July have averaged 4 or 5 per each month. Venue Hires and Workshops from Businesses have continued with Regular bookings for Wellbeing and Educational users plus a few new Businesses and groups such as the Women’s Institute.
In addition to these relationships have been developed with other Local community groups and societies. These have included the following activities:
In July and November a family day was hosted with the South London Refugee Association. R (SLRA) and since September the SLRA Women’s group has run from the Pavilion, also holding a post-session lunch held for the volunteers and women.

Autism Voice - a charity for BAME families affected by Autism - held their children’s summer camp at The Pavilion in August.

4.8 The Woodfield has also managed this year to offer our own Programme of activities for the Community. These have covered Activities in different areas of interest, Environmental, Arts and Crafts, and Community Activities.

Environmental: included Guided Walks and Seedling\Planting Saturdays.

Community Activities included: a Virtual Quiz during Lockdown, Bicycle Boy Performances, Streatham Film Festival, and a Members Christmas Social evening.

Arts and Crafts included: a Textile Art Weekend and Exhibition, Embroidery and Repair Workshops, the Craftivists regular group meetings, and the Wandsworth Arts Festival Weekend (which included The Pavilion being used by another WAF group as a Venue Hire for the first time).

New Art Exhibitions came to The Pavilion, The Wandsworth Festival in July, and Streatham festival in October. These new exhibitions brought us new members and visitors - and a small net income from art sales.

These activities had a total attendance of over 1000 locals from the community, including our Members, Volunteers and the Trustees.

4.9 At the end of the year the emergence of the Omicron variant, impacted the bookings slightly and finished another very challenging year.
4.10 The Charity ended the year, another with a lot of disruption, recording a small deficit for 2021 of £5,827 on total funds.

5. Management evolution

5.1 The overall management of TWP continued to be in the hands of the trustees. Further specification of trustee roles was calendared for next year.
5.2 The two Management teams, Buildings Management and Activities Management, established at the end of 2020 were further developed during 2021 being held either via zoom or in person when permitted. Each team consisted of a Convenor (Trustee), The Manager, and 2 or 3 Members with relevant experience\skills to help the specific team.
5.3 Although the professional manager provides an essential basis to TWP’s operations, TWP most of all depends on voluntary work by the trustees, the management team, and the groups and our members and individuals from the local community who organise or join in the events and activities in the pavilion and on the ground . The trustees cannot express their thanks enough to everybody who continues to help expand the operations of the project...
5.4 It has continued to be the charity’s aim to engage more of its supporters in the running of charity’s activities. To enable the charity to improve this engagement with the local community in June 2021 a new Membership system, Membermojo, was implemented. This has both simplified the management of our membership and grown it significantly. It also enables us to more easily contact those who support as volunteers or for specific group activities.

Members are uniquely important for TWP. They elect the trustees each year and are the ultimate source of their authority. Subsequently the numbers have increased considerably and at the end of 2021 were 202 compared to 85 at the end of 2020. Their numbers assure observers and funders of the charity’s viability

Supporters are not only potential users of our services but potential volunteers. They also spread word of our activities. During 2021 TWP’s hinterland of supporters continued to grow. Its wellestablished mailing list numbered 453 at the end of 2020 and is currently 475.

Additionally social media following continued to increase. In December 2020 there were 1300 followers on Instagram and Facebook had 550 followers and 522 page likes. This year we have 1744 on Instagram, 587 Facebook and 875 twitter.

5.5 The charity also works very closely with Wandsworth Council and its agents who manage Woodfield and the surrounding open land. It has begun to develop a closer relationship with the Lambeth Council within the boundaries of which the pavilion lies.

6. Financial Statements

In accepting the Financial Statements presented by the Treasurer, the trustees note that:

6.1 They are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
6.2 The accounts (Financial Statements) could have been prepared under the law and guidance for small charities. However, the trustees have chosen to follow those for larger charities (accruals accounting) and the accounts are prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).
6.3 They are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of TWP’s constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
6.4 They are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website in accordance with legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements.

7. The prospects for 2022: TWP as a going concern

The trustees are confident that, although Covid-19 restricted TWP’s activity and income during the year, careful financial management, as the accounts show, it has liquid assets at £72,775 which is only £5,046 less than at 2020 year end. The charity therefore will be able to remain a going concern into 2022, and illustrates that with continued growth in use when open for a full year with no disruption that the Charity can operate successfully for the community.

Income must be generated, and the trustees will vigorously pursue policies designed to retain a paid manager and meet the challenges which will otherwise materialise in 2022.

Notes to the Accounts

3. Accounting Policies

3.1 Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. They have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and The Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. The Woodfield Project constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and The Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. The Woodfield Project constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern however have taken the steps of adjusting the reserves policy (see 3.10) and will continue to closely monitor expenditure regularly during 2021, based on the latest Covid-19 restrictions to the Charities activities and subsequent loss of income.

3.2 Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

The charity currently has one unrestricted fund and one restricted fund. The Restricted Fund is used to ring fence funds that have been made available for a specific purpose. At the end of 2021 this is the balance of “the Manager Fund received from the National Lottery Heritage Fund in 2020 for staffing costs, and the balance of unused grants received for specific projects.

3.3 Income recognition

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

3.4 . Donated goods, services and facilities

Donated goods, facilities or professional services are recognised as income when the charity has control of the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

The charity benefits from the involvement and enthusiastic support of its trustees, members and supporters. In accordance with FRS 102 and the charities SORP (FRS 102), the economic contribution of general volunteers is not recognised in the accounts.

3.5 Expenditure recognition

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis.

3.6 Fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £100 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight-line basis as follows:

Asset category	Annual rate
Computers	20%
Plant & equipment	20-50%

3.7 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectable. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due.

3.8 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand is cash held on deposit at the bank and petty cash balances.

3.9 Creditors

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.

3.10 Reserves Policy

The trustees continually monitor and decide on the level of reserves The Woodfield Projects should hold. Reserves are needed to bridge the gap in periods when our income does not cover our expenditure, and with the disruption during 2020 and 2021 this is essential to cover any unplanned emergency repairs and other expenditure, and the unexpectedly low levels of income that are expected to continue.

When the pavilion opened during 2019, the trustees envisaged that it would take a further two years before the pavilion would be financially self-sufficient, and they accept that the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic has probably delayed this by another year at least. The problems arising during 2020 and continued disruption in 2021 mean that the reserve levels are to continue to be set comparatively high to cover shortfalls if required. We benefited greatly in previous years from donated funds from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the balance of which has been assigned during 2021, and further funding also received from the Government Job Retention Scheme (JRSC, i.e. The furlough scheme) both of which have helped to partially cover Staff costs during 2021 (restricted funds). At the end of 2021 these restricted funds are approximately £5,800 of Staff costs.

The Trustees have reviewed the level of Unrestricted and Restricted funds and believe the current balance represents the correct level of reserve to ensure that there is adequate to fund any Building repair and Emergency costs and Manager funding for approximately 18 months and so adequate for 2022.

4. Staff costs, trustees’ expenses, and remuneration

Staff costs in 2021, including pension costs of £1,526, were £28,693 (2020: £30,672). All but of these costs were through restricted funds (see breakdown note 6). No employees had employee benefits in excess of £60,000 in 2021 (2020: nil). The average number of staff employed during 2021 was 1 (2020: 1). The Trustees all give their time and expertise, as trustees, without any form of remuneration or other benefit in cash or kind. (2020: £nil). Expenses paid to the Trustees in the year totalled £96 (2020: £nil). No other paid services were received from any of the Trustees in 2021 £nil (2020: £7,499). There were no other related party transactions in 2021 (2020: £nil).

Part 2: Report of the Independent Examiner for the year ended 31 December 2021

I report on the accounts of the charity for the period from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 2 to 8.

Respective 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 2011 Act) and that an independent examination, although not required, is good practice. I am qualified to undertake the examination as I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales (ICAEW).

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 Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner's 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 also 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 on 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 matter has come to my attention:
