Our 2022/23 tenants are :
Morva Maid has made a success of the former shop and reception areas, showcasing and selling a wide range of local artisan work. This has transformed the reception area making an attractive, welcoming entrance with footfall increasing daily. With over 50 artisans sharing media posts this has helped to increase Cornubia’s presence online and with local residents. “Cornwall Made” will be taking over with the same principles of local artisans
Under the Sun Ceramics Studio has continued in the studio space
Gill’s pottery classes are increasingly popular -a source of mental wellbeing and entertainment as well as learning new techniques. There is a steady stream of beautiful and amusing pottery produced.
Three Harbours NHS Team
Our two upstairs tenant rooms are now the home of the Social Prescribing and Diabetic teams. This link will allow us to move forwards with plans of providing support for those in isolation and depression and meetings with the social prescriber have been made.
Media
Cornubia’s media profile has been raised considerably this year with almost daily requests to join the Facebook group

the heaters: but we are very conscious of rising utility costs and continue to investigate energy-saving opportunities
Achievements and Performance
All the outer walls have now been fully insulated
Upstairs toilets and kitchenette
The floor level has been raised to bring them level with the hall, and the installation of a disabled toilet has made the upper floor fully accessible.
The kitchenette is used by the tenants and by parents waiting for their children attending activity sessions, taking advantage of the free wi-fi throughout the building to catch up on social media or use their laptop.
Downstairs
The air conditioning has been improved
A second toilet has been installed next to the community room. The Lower Hall can be accessed directly via the rear entrance and is fully wheelchair accessible.
Small Meeting Room
The office has been transformed into an accessible, welcoming space for 1-1 sessions, small group work and a space for the administrator to work.
Monthly visits from a financial advisor, energy advisor and Citizens Advice provide good support for the community
The Warm Hub
The Community Room and Kitchen adjoining the lower hall is a popular spot for the recent “Warm Hub” initiative, started in autumn 2022, providing refreshments and affordable meals 3 days a week as part of its “offer”.
This is a collaborative initiative supported by:
Volunteer Cornwall NHS Cornwall Council Cornwall Energy Age UK Cornwall College Plus
Page 5
Par Bay Community Trust
Trustees' Report
Also provided are monthly advice sessions on finance, energy costs, Citizens Advice and free/affordable haircuts and chiropody trimming.
It has been a great success and is continuing until at least Easter 2024 and hopefully after that as well.
So far, the Hub is attracting the older generation and we already have a lovely core group of regulars attending, along with others who drop in and out when they are free. We’ve put out a suggestions sheet for activities to give us an idea of what people might enjoy and they requested: dancing; hand bell ringing; folk music; singing; a sound bath session; cooking demonstrations; pottery and crafts sessions.
We have our local social prescribers holding meetings here at Cornubia and directing people to the Hub too, and this will help us to reach those most isolated individuals in our community. We are in the process of arranging transport for people who might otherwise struggle to get to the Hub.
Food.
Our cook is producing some wonderful meals, prepared on site, and they are going down very well. We ask for a small donation for drinks, charge £1 for soup and a roll, or £1.50 for more substantial meals such as pasta and home-made tomato sauce, stew or cottage pie.
We have started our own Community Larder with donations from a local butcher and local residents. The Co-op have set up a donation box for items for our trolley. We are running this along the same lines as our Community Garden Swap and Share
The Community Garden
The established Community Garden has continued to thrive and be a popular meeting point, with activities such as Kernow Youth’s meet and greet, craft activities and pottery workshops. Donations of plants and gardening accessories have continued

and grown, and the ‘Swap and Share’ is a well-known and much appreciated feature for many local residents.
Financial review
Income and Fundraising:
We still aim to apply for more grant aid to provide activities at a lower/free cost, but grants are difficult.
Funds in deficit
We have no funds in deficit.
Policy on reserves
We need to protect against loss of income, continue building renovations and running activities in Cornubia plus taking advantage of new opportunities.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of Par Bay Community Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material 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 charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Par Bay Community Trust ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of Par Bay Community Trust as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Basis of preparation
Par Bay Community Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
Income and endowments
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Investment income
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Grant provisions
Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £0.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
