**benefit)**|To secure and manage a community building and to work with partners
both statutory and non-statutory to provide a facility to provide and
promote educational, leisure and recreational activities for the use of the
community of North Hayes, regardless of their personal attributes or
beliefs.| |---|---| ||Our relationship with the nursery as a long term let is ongoing and the
nursery remains well subscribed, and is a great benefit for our local
community, especially over the period of the pandemic. During the period
of the lockdown from Jan 21 until April 21 it only ran during the mornings.
Kumon is still active in the centre, but along with many activities from Jan
21 to April 21, they were unable to meet.
During this period ACDA who provided IT and ESOL classes, were
unable to do so and as of October 21, IT and ESOL classes have not
resumed, and we will be looking for other providers.
Yoga returned in September, though at this time with limited numbers
The ladies Afro-Caribbean group resumed their meetings in September
The Police/Ward Panel were only able to have limited meetings in this
period these meetings allow local resident groups within wards to meet
and have direct contact with their ward police representatives and local
councillors.
There have been limited children parties
Our activities were limited by the pandemic and by the lockdown from
January to April, when only the nursery was operating. We have been
closed for a large part of the year, even when things opened up there has
been significant reduction in numbers of users attending classes and
tangible concerns over Covid.
We have taken guidance from the Charity Commission and confirm that
our activities are solely for the public benefit in the form of the local
community and there is no personal gain for any of our trustees.| **TAR** March **2012** 3 ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grant making; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. All of the trustees are volunteers, and we recognise the work that is done by others who have supported us with their time and energy. As a small organisation, we have no paid or full-time staff. The contribution made by the current trustees remains significant and we have had the good fortune to recruit another member. We will continue to look for new trustees and volunteers. Sadly, the issue with the lift has remained a massive problem for us. It has been out of order from August 2021. Apparently. there are issues getting spare parts as they must come from within the EU. ## Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** ## Main achievements: - Our relationship with the residents surrounding the site has remained positive and strong, - We have had to re-turf some of the garden due to erosion near paved areas which made the area unsafe for the nursery. This bedded in well - We still have parking issues which we are trying to resolve with residents and users. - The lift remains an issue, hopefully the new part to replace a burnt-out circuit, when it arrives will solve the issue. - We are looking at a project to level the small garden area which falls away steeply in some places and are investigating the costs. ## **Section E Financial review** **B** **policy on reserves** As of 31[st] October 2021, we have cash reserves of £34,098. This sum includes the business grant from the Local Authority relating to the pandemic. The Local Authority during in March 2020 had changed its voluntary sector pricing policy to be able to clawback 25% of any fees charged to Nurseries held in local authority buildings. This came up at our rent review in 2021. We have offered up a range of scenarios to demonstrate we can either pay the VLSP rent or a percentage of the nursery fees and a peppercorn rent, but not both as the building is expensive to maintain and we would suffer and struggle financially in the future. Although there have been additional funds to support us during the pandemic, this is not the norm. **TAR** March **2012** 4 We have a three-month notice period on either side with our main client which would give us the opportunity to secure an additional client if notice were to be given. On an operational cash basis, the charity had a surplus in the year of £17,777 which has built the reserves up to £34,098. The centre costs are around £12,000 this year plus an unknown amount depending on the additional charges from the Local Authority. The cost of the lift of course is unknown at this point. ## **Details of any funds materially in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the chari of funds (including any fundraising). - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity. - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** ## **Signed** |**Signature(s)**
