-
b) establish, or secure the establishment of a community centre ("The Centre") and to maintain

c) promote such other charitable purposes as may from time to time be determined by the charity trustees
1.2 Appointment of trustees
The policy and general management of the affairs of Grenoside Community Association are directed by the trustees of the CIO. The trustees or the members of the CIO may at any time decide by resolution at a meeting to appoint a new trustee.

2 Achievements and performance
Chairman's report:-
Thank you to the offices, Trustees, Management, members and staff for everything that has been done throughout the year.
We have had another successful year, which is down to you, the members, this all despite the last 2 years of Covid 19 problems, that we are thankfully coming out of in good style.
All of our sections and groups are back with the exception of our Thursday night ballroom dance section after many successful years. This section was started by our members Mary and Jack Cook, with the help of Mona and Arthur Birch.
We welcomed back audiences to our very successful panto, Drama and G&S performances, that were most enjoyable and financially successful.
We look forward to a fun filled Gala again this year, after a limited but successful event last year. Our Management Meetings are now back to normal on a monthly basis where we canvas the opinion of our members on many and varied issues for the Association. Covid safety is still of concern to us and we are still mindful of Covid guarding rules within the centre.
-
The steps have now been removed between Appletree Nursery and our car park as the City Council reneged on their ownership so, due to legal issues, we took the safest route and took away the hazard.
-
Repairs and renovations have been carried out as necessary and we purchased a new lawn mower. Our door upgrades are continuing as funds are allocated along with emergency light replacement.
-
Drains, once again, have caused problems, both in the grounds and the car park costing £1,500 in total.
-
On the grants front, without access to Government Covid aid, i.e. furlough and small business grant, we would not have come through this in such a good state. Help like that is greatly appreciated by us all and without this kind of support we would not be in the financially good position that we find ourselves now.
-
A vote of thanks to Andy and Roy for all the hard work they do for the centre.
-
We are planning for other improvement and cost savings for next year if funds are available either by grants or our usual fundraising.
Thanks again to all of our great membership, staff, Trustees, volunteers and friends for all your help throughout the year.
Please keep safe and well in these very different times.
David Pepper, Chair
3 Financial review by the Treasurer:
2021-22 was another unusual year for GCA. We started the year still in the throes of the Coronavirus lockdown, until June when our groups and hirers started to return to normal. As a result of this late start, our income from these two streams was about 70% of the pre-pandemic level.
Dog shows are a big part of our income, but the lockdown meant that we were holding around £5,000 in deposits for cancelled shows. "New" money was therefore only 25% of normal. Conversely, we qualified for a £12,000 government "restart" grant.
Another piece of good news is that we have gained several new regular hirers, mostly moving to us from other venues, and enquiries for room hire are higher than ever.
We received two other grants this year: £1,000 from Sheffield City Council's Ward Pot to buy an external notice board, and £460 from S Y Community Foundation to buy a large electric lawnmower. As well as buying these two items, we also spent £1,700 widening the lower hall door to allow wheelchair access, and £3,300 to install security shutters on the lower hall doors.
Funds in the bank at the start of the year were £69,000 rising to £77,000 at the end, giving a cash surplus of £8,000.
Overall, we have weathered the lockdowns safely helped by government funding, and we have ended up in a very good position.

3 Reserves policy
The long-term reserves policy of Grenoside Community Association is to hold, as a minimum, equivalent of three months’ income. This will guard against unexpected loss of income through fire damage, for example, and also cover against short-term fluctuations in income and expenditure. However, Government funding during the Coronavirus pandemic has left us holding 14 months' income, which will allow us some cautious spending on long-delayed capital projects, particularly in areas where no grant money is available.
4 Statement of Trustee's Responsibilities
Charity Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period , which show the state of financial affairs of the Charity at the year end and of its incoming resources and resources expended during that period . In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
-
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to assume that the Charity will continue in business
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the Charity, enabling them to ensure that the statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They 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
The trustees are not required to have an audit as their income and balance sheets levels are below the audit thresholds established by the Charity Commission and it is not a requirement of the charity's governing document.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Grenoside Community Association (CIO) For the year ended 31 March 2022
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Grenoside Community Association, Charitable Incorporated Organisation, number 1160198, for the year end 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 6-11.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the accounts of the CIO carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement:
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material aspect:
-
accounting records were not kept respect of the CIO as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do 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 accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this respect in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Disclaimer
The trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the CIO's ability to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this statement is not a guarantee as to the CIO's ability to continue as a going concern. For example, it is difficult to evaluate all of the potential implications of the current COVID-19 outbreak on the CIO's activities, income, employees, suppliers and the wider economy.

Notes to the financial statements for the year 31 March 2022.
1 Accounting policies
(a) General
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 2015) - ((Charities SORP (FRS102)) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by 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 the accounts.
(b) Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
(c) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
The charity is not registered for VAT and irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
(d) Assets:
Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity
The Grenoside Community Association building is included at historic cost. The building is being depreciated at 2% per annum on a straight line basis over the remaining 50 years of the lease.
Other capital assets
Other capital assets (over £300) are depreciated on a reducing balance basis at 20% per year.
(e) Funds
Unrestricted funds and donations and other income receivable or generated for the objects of the organisation without further specified purpose are available as general funds.
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the funder.
(f) Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exists about the charity's ability to continue. Based on the adequacy of the charity's reserves as at the balance sheet date, along with the knowledge of the charity's abilities to meet bills, payments or other liabilities as they fall due, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
(g) Requirement to operation a pension scheme
The charity introduced a workplace pension scheme in April 2020.
