1.0 Structure of the Charity and the Operation
1.1 HCC (CIO) and our Partner Organisations
HCC (CIO) [or Hutton Community Centre (CIO) ] is a charitable incorporated organisation which received its approval from the UK Charity Commission on 30/11/15. Its registered charity number is 1164605. It was created for the sole purpose of running Hutton Community Centre for community benefit.
The charity has a board of four trustees, and operates according to written articles of association. These are available on request. Further details about the background of the trustees can be seen on request. One trustee has left the board during the fifth full year of operation (Peter Boem), and Seye Atunrase has become chair of trustees.
A number of other, “partner” organisations have supported the charity since its creation. There is a written partner agreement in place to formalise this support relationship. Further details about our partner organisations can be seen on request. There have been no changes to the partner organisations since the last annual report.
1.2 The Lease with Brentwood Borough Council
HCC (CIO) has a lease in place with Brentwood Borough Council (BBC) to occupy and operate Hutton Community Centre. This lease has a term of 15 years, starting on 1[st] July 2016, with a break clause after the first 7 years to allow for a rent review.
The key obligations under this lease include:
-
To operate according to our charitable and community principles
-
To repair and maintain the community centre
-
To take certain actions on completion of the lease – eg redecoration and carpet replacement
It is noted that, under the terms of the lease, BBC retains ownership of all of the physical assets of the community centre.

1.3 The Initial Funding of HCC (CIO)
To create sufficient working capital to operate the community centre, a number of loans were taken out. These are with the partner organisations and former trustees of the charity, as follows:
| Loan From | Amount | Repayable | |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Brentwood Grace Centre | Partner | £10,000 | July2020 – extended to July2022 |
| Hope CommunityChurch | Partner | £5,000 | July2020 – extended to July2023 |
| The Lighthouse Project | Partner | £5,000 | July2020 – extended to July2021 |
| David Woods | Former Trustees |
£1,000 | Repaid April 2019 |
| Brian Darwood | £1,000 | Repaid April 2019 |
The extension requests to the three outstanding loans were made in June 2020. They were made due to cash flow issues caused by the community centre being shutdown from mid March 2020 to mid July 2021 in response to the UK wide COVID-19 lockdown.
Normally, on a month to month basis, the operating costs of the community centre are funded by revenues from the hire of the facilities. Any excess revenue is used to contribute to investments in the centre facilities, and also to subsidise activities which have community benefit. In time it has also be used to repay the loans.
The costs of operating the community centre include staff costs, facility maintenance, utilities (water/power/gas), insurance, rental charges to BBC, and so on.
1.4 Our Business Systems
A number of simple business systems are in place to operate the community centre and the charity. These are mainly managed by the Centre Staff and Treasurer, and include:
-
A business bank account, held with HSBC
-
A tool to monitor bookings and generate invoices to hirers
-
A tool to monitor the financial accounts and generate periodic accounting summaries
-
A tool to monitor and manage payroll for the staff
-
A tool which takes a long term financial view of costs and revenues
-
A structured delegation of authority (DOA) document for all key aspects of operation
We also maintain a cloud based storage facility, through which all of the key tools and documents associated with the operation can be viewed. Access to these is limited to the trustees, with certain documents also available to the partner representatives.
1.5 Our Monitoring and Reporting Structures
HCC (CIO) has an established routine reporting structure, which is regularly reviewed by the trustees. This structure is as follows:

Notes to the accounts Period 6 – 1/7/20 to 30/6/21 |

| Note # | Comments |
| General | This period is the fifth full year of operation of the charity under the lease with BBC. It should be noted that this is the first year where restricted funds have been recognised in the accounts, at the recommendation of our auditor. The receipt of and spending of restricted funds for this accounting period can now be seen in the relevant rows in A1 and A3, and remnant amounts not spent can be seen in B1. A carryover of restricted funds has also been added for the previous year (A6) but it should be noted that this was not recognised as a restricted fund element in the previous accounts. Restricted funds will however now be trackedgoingforwards. |
| P6.1 | Donations/fundraising in this period made by one of the trustees, by a local care home, by Brentwood Borough Council towards an energy saving project, by Essex County Council towards a boiler replacement and café furniture,and bya developer towards a café refurbishmentproject. |
| P6.2 | This is the income taken from regular and one-off hirers for the use of the centre facilities. This is the main revenue stream for the community centre. Refundable deposits are also taken from one off hirers. |
| P6.3 | The revenue in this category in this period is all government funding relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. Multiple payments totalling around £9,900 were payments made via HMRC for staff on furlough. Multiple payments totalling around £15,000 were business support payments made via Brentwood Borough Council. |
| P6.4 | Refunds were made by our gas and electricity suppliers as our usage was down substantially because the centre was closed for long periods duringtheyear because of COVID/national lockdowns. |
| P6.5 | This item is the revenue from café operations. From around March 2019 this represents income net of food, consumable and material costs. It is paid into the HCC HSBC account periodically from a separate account which is used to manage day to day café operations. The typical net balance in the café account is less than £1,000. |
| P6.6 | Staff costs are for the two centre employees. This cost line includes salaries, payroll costs, HMRC costs(egemployer’s NI)andpension costs. |
| P6.7 | Salaries for the employees who run the café are kept on a separate line. During period 5 this was initiallytwo employees,both of whom were employedpart time,droppingto one after Sept ’20. |
| P6.8 | During period 6, the material costs of running the café were typically been netted against the income paid to HCC. This is whyonlysmall charges are showingin this line. |
| P6.9 | The utilities line includesgas, electricity, water andphone/broadband charges. |
| P6.10 | This line includes all of the routine and emergent maintenance items for the centre, as well as consumables such as those for the office or for the toilets. It also includes contractor costs. |
| P6.11 | This line is for major work to any of the centre’s facilities. During period 6, this has included part payment for a lighting replacement / energy saving project, upgrade of the electrical wiring in the changing rooms, and some of the initial investment for a café upgradeproject. |
| P6.12 | The majority of the insurances required for the centre operation are purchased directly by the charity. The buildings insurance is purchased by BBC and then reimbursed to them by the charity. Period 6 only includes the payment to BBC (for the building insurance charge) as the non buildings insurance premium renewal was not paid by 1/7. That is why this period’s total charge is so much less than theprevious one. This will come back into the next accounting period. |
| P6.13 | Includes marketing items such as advertising and signage, and memberships such as our premises license. It also includes the costs towards events which the centre hosts such as Halloween and Christmasparties,or any“thankyou” lunches or similar events for volunteers. |
| P6.14 | This was the purchase of two temperature gun type monitors to assist with COVID risk management when the centre first reopened. |
| P6.15 | The payment of rent to Brentwood Borough Council as per the terms of the lease. This is slightly higher than normal as two rent payments from the previous period were not made on time. Would normally also include the payment of rates, however the rates charge was cancelled by BBC in period 5 due to the COVID-19pandemic. |
| P6.16 | The return of hire charges to hirers due to cancellations/errors,plus the return of deposits. |
Hutton Community Centre (CIO) Annual Report – for Performance Period Ending 30 June 2021
| P6.17 | Charges for examining the annual accounts of the charity. This year’s number includes the costs for bothperiod 5 andperiod 6 as theperiod 5 charge had not been made duringthepreviousperiod. |
|---|---|
| P6.18 | No charges in this categoryduring period 6. |
| P6.19 | During period 6, we made food donations to a local church which ran a dailyfood bank. |
| P6.20 | No entries in this categoryduring period 6. |
| P6.21 | During the previous period, the centre purchased a table tennis table and an access tower to assist with maintenance activities. During period 6 we purchased a number of outside tables / awnings for the café. |
| P6.22 | One bank account Is operated by the charity – a business bank account with HSBC. The account is operated under the guidance of the formal delegation of authority (DOA) structure which is agreed bythe trustees and reviewedperiodically. |
| P6.23 | This deposit of £5,000 was paid to BBC in 2016 as a requirement of the lease and is repayable on completion or termination of the lease. |
| P6.24 | In the third accounting period, a project was executed to install air conditioning units in the main hall. It was estimated that in the first year these had a resale value of £10k, and that this will decrease by £2k per year for 5 years. Other smaller items shown in this list will be depreciated over two to threeyears. |
| P6.25 | To create working capital. Received from a combination of partner organisations and trustees. None of these are restricted/endowment funds. |
| P6.26 | The lease with BBC requires the redecoration of key rooms of the centre and the replacement of the carpets before the centre is handed back. These works have not yet been rigorously costed; for now it is assumed that £5,000 is needed for carpet replacement and £10,000 for any decorating which we do not do ourselves. |
| P6.27 | All of these items are liabilities incurred which were notpaid for before the end of theperiod. |
