Annual Report of the Trustees
Introduction
This year the Community Association has begun to recover from the impact of the pandemic with the reopening of the centre and the return of many of the activities. We have welcomed new members to our committee who bring fresh ideas and help to organise our programme of events.
Events and Activities
We continued to offer support for residents through the Community Help service which we established last year with the Parish Council. However, as the restrictions following the pandemic were lifted the need for this service diminished as we were able to reopen the centre and welcome people back.
Many of the activities have returned including exercise classes, toddler groups and the cinema. The weekly Book Swap and coffee morning has continued to be successful providing an opportunity for people to drop in for coffee and a chat. The new Friday Friends group welcomes a growing number of people who enjoy a range of social activities including, games, quizzes and trips to local attractions.
We celebrated the return to a more usual way of life with a Picnic in the Park which replaced our annual Summer Fete. It was an extremely successful day helped by the glorious weather which lead one resident to say ‘I think the whole village is here.’
We were able to hold our Christmas Market again and despite the cold weather it was very busy with the barbecue selling out and traders reporting a successful evening. We were very grateful to the volunteers who helped to clear up afterwards, finishing just as the rain began to pour.
Finance
Income from use of the centre has begun to grow again and the charity remains in a good financial position.
Building
The building remains in constant need of repair and its replacement is our priority. Our bid to the Lottery Fund has, understandably, been held back due to the impact of the pandemic. Increased prices and availability of builders and other suppliers has required a number of reviews and rewrites and we will now submit the bid in the autumn.
Conclusion
The tremendous commitment and passion of our Trustees, Committee Members and Volunteers ensured that we were able to reopen the centre and enable the return of activities and events. The Community Association continues to make a positive contribution to the well-being of our community and we look forward to developing new ideas and services in the coming year.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Chinley, Buxworth & Brownside Community Association
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st March 2022 set out on pages 6 to 13.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General 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 or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view ' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
