Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
Achievement and performance
We have recently engaged a new board of trustees who have brought a new skill set and have been implementing some changes and improvements at the centre.
We have made connections with new partnerships and are keen to explore more mutually beneficial relationships.
We have continued to help families in the area with initiatives such as food bags in school holidays.
We have offered increased activities for the community in school holidays.
We organised community celebrations such as The Coronation and Xmas tree lighting evening.
We were awarded a grant from the PCC for our anti-social behaviour work and continue to work with local youth.
Our community supermarket continues be popular and we are looking at ways in improving the layout of this.
Financial review, investment policy and reserves
Winlaton Community Association operates on a not for profit basis. Any monies raised over and above our immediate operating costs are held within our Maintenance Fund which is held against future building repair expenditure and replacement of van.
Within the year to 31[st] March 2024 we had income of £133,258 and a total expenditure of £110,618 showing a surplus of £22,640
It is the policy of Winlaton Community Association to maintain unrestricted funds at a level which covers at least six months unrestricted expenditure. In addition the centre aims to retain a capital reserve to provide funds for future capital expenditure of the Charity.
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then 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; and
· Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operational existence.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which 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 1993. 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.

| • follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the | |
| Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act), and | |
| • state whether particular matters have come to my attention. | |
| Basis of | My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions |
| independent | given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of |
| examiner’s | the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the |
| statement | accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of |
| any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking | |
| explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The | |
| procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be | |
| required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on | |
| the accounts. |
Independent In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention: examiner's 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material statement respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that: • proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 130 of the Act); and • accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
