## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

The trustees for the purposes of charity law, present their annual report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2020. 

## **Structure, governance and Management** 

## Governing document 

Networking in East Oldham Neighbourhoods is constituted as a charitable trust registered with the Charity Commission in July 2015 under charity number 1162667. 

## Organisational Structure 

The charity trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the charity. The trustees are volunteers and receive no remuneration or other financial benefit. 

The trustees meet together as a body monthly and are responsible for all decisions taken in relation to the smooth running of the charity and the management of the community centre known as the NEON Community Hub. A key part of achieving the objectives of the charity depends  on  working  in  partnership  and  several  trustees  have  roles  that  include  the following: 

- Meeting with a range of partners on future projects to benefit the community 

- Organising joint community events at the Community Hub 

- Submitting appropriate funding applications 

- Liaison with partners providing current activities in the Community Hub 

- Day to day management of the Community Hub 

- Maintaining and updating all policy documents 

- Financial management 

- Negotiating a long- term building lease agreement with the Local Authority for the Community Hub 

These trustees provide regular reports and updates to the monthly trustees meetings and take guidance from all of the members. 

## Recruitment and appointment of trustees 

The existing trustees are responsible for the recruitment of new trustees, but will involve professional support from partners when appropriate. This is to ensure a proper process is followed and all volunteers for a trustee position is treated equally and the appropriate criteria are used for selecting new trustees. The process includes invitations to trustee meetings as observers, visits to the Community Hub and discussion about the aims and objectives of the charity. 

## Induction and training of Trustees 

Trustees have, in the last year, taken part in several training events. These training events included business planning for new trustees and future funding strategy led by an external consultant. 

The trustees monitored the short and medium term plan to meet the aims and objectives set out in the constitution, and had revised sessions on mental health awareness, first aid and 



safe guarding procedures. Further sessions were held for new and existing trustees on the scope of their responsibilities under the Charities Act.

## Risk Management 

The trustees continue to assess the risks faced by the charity through its business planning process, including financial management and current and future revenue income. The risk register includes identifying the risk, its likely impact and how to minimise this impact on the charity. In addition the charity has public liability insurance cover, which is renewed annually and regular checks take place to comply with the safe running of the community hub. Appropriate Disclosure and Barring checks are made for all those working with children or other vulnerable groups within the Community Hub. 

## Objectives and Activities 

The charity aims to: 

Further or benefit the residents of East Oldham and the surrounding neighbourhood, without distinction  of  sex,  sexual  orientation,  race  or  of  political,  religious or  other  opinion  by associating  together  the  said  residents  and  the  local  authorities,  voluntary  and  other organisations  in  a  common  effort  to  advance  education  and  to  provide  facilities  in  the interests of social welfare, for recreation, leisure time, occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents. 

These objectives reflect the nature of the East Oldham and surrounding neighbourhoods in terms of social and economic deprivation, which in turn means many local residents suffer from both physical and mental health problems and lack the financial means to take up activities and learning opportunities by themselves. 

## Strategies 

The trustees continue to insist on an open door and friendly approach to anybody who visits the Community Hub.  Working with a range of partners to provide activities and advice that local residents want and need. Every Wednesday for example the Citizens Advice Bureaux provide an advice surgery. There is also a weekly healthy eating cooking class, funded by Big Local. 

The Men’s Club is flourishing with a number of new members enjoying a range of activities. 

Our partnership with Big Local, now run managed entirely by residents, continues to fund several projects, including the healthy eating classes and Knit and Chat.  They also provide support at a weekly ‘brunch session’, which remains highly popular and provides a vital contact point for many local isolated residents. 

NEON has also become a distribution outlet for “That Bread and Butter Thing”, a charitable organisation providing access to weekly food parcels at a reduced cost. Beneficiaries of this 



service reach numbers in excess of 70 per week. This is delivered each Saturday by a team of our volunteers 

The Community Hub also provides space for organisations to meet and for local businesses to operate from. These can range of Weight Watchers, Training Services a local Theatre Group “Spotlight” celebration events. This provides a source of revenue that ensures the trustees can continue to deliver other activities free of charge for local residents.

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2020** 

## Future Plans 

The trustees remain committed to consolidating the Community Hub’s presence so local residents see it as a place that is both relevant and useful to improving the quality of their lives.  A management agreement has been signed giving NEON a 30 year lease on Holt Street 

- Expand  our  relationship  and  partnerships  that  promote  health  and  wellbeing activities, and in particular Mental Health Support 

- Obtain funding to refurbish Hub facilities and increase our rental space 

- Increasing the capacity of the trustees though new members and further training such as First Aid, Food Hygiene and Mental Health first aid 

- We remain committed to securing long term funding to employ a staff member to reduce the time spent by trustees on day to day management of the Community Hub 

- Increase  our  volunteer  base,  and  provide  suitable  and  appropriate  training  and support 

- Promote the work of the trustees through continual use of social media, including a web site. 

- Remain committed to securing funding for longer term projects that both involve and benefit local residents in the planning and provision of activities. 

## Impact of Covid-19 

COVID still has an impact on NEON, which has necessitate some cutbacks and reappraisal of our long term plans. We have seen the return to some of our paid users, but it still remains significantly lower than we had previously enjoyed and benefited from. We are striving to return to, and expand our services and activities, where that is possible, but the landscape in funding becoming saturated with requests it has been much harder to get the required type of funding and investment. We can only strive to achieve what we can 

Financial Review 



NEON continues to manage its finances in a diligently, with a keen eye on both its income and expenditure. 

With our income general split from two sources, room hire and grant awards, we are keen to maximise these streams, to both maintain our presence and to expand our range of activities, with a further drive to improve our premises to attract new business, and generally improve the appearance of the building. 

NEON operates a reserve policy, with funds set aside to address any shortfall in regular income, and to maintain financial stability.

## **REPORT TO THE MEMBERS ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF NETWORKING IN EAST OLDHAM NEIGHBOURHOODS (NEON)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021 as set out on pages 8 to 11. 

## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** 

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

The charity’s trustees consider an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the 2011 Act, and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility as independent examiner to: 

- ~ examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act 

- ~ follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and 

- ~ to state whether particular matters have come to my attention 

## **Basis of Independent Examiners Report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 of 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 Examiners Statement** 

I have completed my examination for the year ended 31 March 2020 and identified some matters of concern. In connection with my examination it has come to my attention that during the course of the financial year accounting records have not been kept accurately, in that a number of entries on a new accounting system were not correctly entered and reconciled (for the first 2 years of using the system). 

This has now been resolved and training has taken place on the new system.  As such I have no further concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. 

I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- ~ accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act or 

- ~ the accounts do not accord with the accounting records to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
