Summary of Objects of the Charity
To advance education and to provide facilities for the recreation or other leisure time occupation of people with physical and/or mental disabilities in the interests of social welfare with the object of improving their conditions of life.
Events
Owing to the pandemic, 2020 brought many challenges but the centre continued throughout, adapting well to those challenges. Even though 2021 began with a lockdown and many restrictions were still in place, the centre responded to the challenge by providing online services to our day service users before we were able to reopen in late spring.
During 2021, our day service has been working at full strength for most of the year and numbers have grown by 15%. While the same can’t be said of our provision of activity sessions for outside groups, a marketing campaign has been instigated, aiming to reclaim old business and attract new. With the easing of some restrictions, early signs indicate that 2022 should see a return to a full timetable.
QE2 Activity Centre continues to provide day services and activities to young people and adults with physical or learning disabilities.
Finance
During 2020-21 QE2 Activity Centre generated income from provision of services and actively fundraised towards a new pontoon boat for use by those with physical disabilities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of QE2 Activity Centre For the year ended 31 March 2021
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages 2 to 6.
Responsibilities and basis of report
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').
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material aspect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn to this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Accounts
For the year ended 31 March 2021
1 Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and under the historical cost convention. They comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) FRS 102, 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' effective 1 January 2015 together with the reporting requirements of the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK (FRS 102) - effective 1 January 2015. 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.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts.
The QE2 Activities Centre is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, registered with the Charity Commission under number 1165893.
2 Accounting Policies
Income recognition
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, there is sufficient certainty of receipt and so it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations are recognised when they have been communicated as received in writing with notification of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance 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 those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Legacy gfts are recognised on a case by case basis following the granting of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset has been transferred to the charity.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
Expenditure recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings in the statement of financial activities.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which is was incurred.

Governance costs
Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.
Tangible fixed assets for use by charity
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. They are valued at cost or a reasonable value on receipt.
Depreciation is provided by the charity to write off the cost less the estimated residual value of tangible fixed assets by instalments over their estimated useful economic lives at the following annual rates:
Land and buildings - 4% on cost
Equipment - 25% on the reducing balance
Investments
Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange are valued at market value at the year end. Other investment assets are included at trustees' best estimate of market value.
