ACHIEVEMENTS AliD PERFORMANCE Whilst the Associ31ion h&% attempted to run as near norn]al service as ￿Ssible. the Covid-19 pandemic has had a considerable impacl of ihe Association, given in more ddail in Section 4 of this report. The Community Centre was ¢losed on the 23 March 2020 al￿ remained closed until it reopened on I. septem￿ 2020. Unforrunatcly. jusi &$ the privale hires began to pick up the Cenlre was again c105ed (except for a very small number of exempt activiti¢5) on lh¢ 5, November 2020. It briefly reopened under severe restriclions on 2 December. moved into more severe Tier 4 reslriciion on the 21" December 2020 which in turn turned into another lockdown which lasted in eff￿1 for the remaindcr of the Financial year. The Litde A¢orns Pre-school also closed on the 23 March 2020 and reopened 15, June 2020. Despite this. the Association continues to keep th¢ Community Centre in good order and has a rolling progTamme of redecoration and is planning lo continue to improve the facilities of the Centre. The aim of the improvements is to attra¢t of higher volume of both regular and one-off hiTer5. In respecl of regular hirers, the Association aims lo attract hirers who deliver services in line with ihe object5 of the Association. Throu8h its regular hirers there arc nomially many S￿10￿$ run each week which contribule lo a healthier living and lifestyles of the residents of our area of b¢nefil, however, in thi5 financial year for a limited period. In directly providing services itself, the Association seeks io provide services not otherwise PTovided by its regular hiffrs. In thai respecL whilst the weekly bingo sessions on a Monday ev￿Ing5 were restored briefly wben ihe Community Cenlre teopened, the previously run monihly tea dance5 did not ￿Start. W¢ also ran a wcekly Intemet Café. during the wiods the Centre was open, which enabled residents without iniernel acce55 to gain access to many seryices that are only easily available onlin¢. We also allow users to bring in their own LaptOP5 and Tablds. Our volunteers are on hand at these sessions to assist our users help them out wilh any problems they have. Where we identify a user in need of trdining. we signp)st ihem to Community Aclion Daconmi (CAD) who now the courses thai used to be run by DacoTum Communities for Learning wh05¢ Office was based in our Community Centre until they closed and transfe￿ed their a￿1vIlieS io CAD. FINANCIAL REVIEW The whole of ihis financial year was significantly impacted by ihe Covid-19 pandemic. For long pcriods ihc Communily Centre was closed and even during ihc peri¢Jds the Centre was open hircrs were very slow lo return. Even after Little Acorns reopcned some children w¢r¢ withheld frotn our PTe-5chool. This impacted on the income to the Associalion. and had it nol been for Covid Job Retenlion Scheme IJRS) and Covid Business Support grants would have resulted in a large deficit. However, as a restslt of thos¢ grants il resulted in a Su￿11 SUTplus of £1.9k in the General Fund5 which compared to lasl Y￿.$ surplus of £3.Sk. In respeet of its restricled funds {for the provision of the Little Acorns Pre-school) there was a deficit of £8.6k over the year. which resulted in an overall deficit of £6.7k. It should however be noted thai as Little Acorns continued lo receive its Education Grani for the year. we were advised ihai we could only claim JRS payments for (he proportion of staff costs covered by non-grant incolne. hence the much lower JRS income for Little Acorns. The Trustees continue to monitor ihe Little Acorns situation lo endeavour lo return it to a surplus so thai the restricted fund reserve Can be increased io the Icvel required by the Association's reserves policy. Whilst not all the income for Litde Acorns come5 in the fO￿n of education granis which means such income should be designated as restricted funding. the TTUStees have agreed lo treat all their income as if it was re5trirted income. The Association treats all rcmaining income and expenditUTe as unrestricted funds. The Trustees continu¢ to moniior risks for ihc Associatiorl and have a Risk Register that is reviewed annually. The Risk RegI￿er is used to infoTrn its decision regarding rescrves. 4.3.1 The Asso¢iation's Resetve Policy is to have a General Reserve Fund, plus designated reserve fvnds known as its Closure Fund and Major Repairs Fund. In respect of its Closure Fund the trllstees have set il at 3 months no￿al trading plus the cost of makin8 stsff redundanl. In determining the level of the Major Repairs Fund the Trustees. in March 2018 agreed that it would comprise two elements. the first a contingency sum to cover the COH of unforeseen major repairs (under its lease the A$5￿]atIOn is responsible lo foT non-structurdl internal repairs which includes items such as the hcaiing system) plus the cosl of any planned improvements to be carried during the following financial year. 4.3.2 Th¢ ASS￿la110￿.5 Reserve Policy in respect of Littl¢ Acorns is lo have a General Restricted Reserve Fund. of a nominal sum value plus a Closure Restricied Fund, the latter being based on the same riteria used for Ihe Association'5 Closure Fund. This policy indicalcs the need for a fund of £27k, whereas the iolal reserve5 of ilKir re5trictcd funds at the 31 March 2021 stood al £9.Sk. The ditTerence in the amounts mean5 Ihai the deficil of £17.5k. if necded. will be met from the Associalions general funds_ Thi5 a150 means that their General Reslricled reserve stand5 at L l -. 4.3.3 ' The leve15 of ihese reserves are detailed in Seciion Bl of the accounts contain¢d within this report. 4.4 Ai the dale of the approval of Ihis reW there are no uncertainti¢s abo￿ ihe charity's ability 10 continue as a goin8 concern.
