MOORDOWN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity 's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016)

Objectives and activities

The objects of the charitable company are to:

The association shall be non-party in politics and non-sectarian in religion.

There has been no change in the policies adopted in furtherance of these objects during the year.

Public benefit

The trustees are mindful of the requirements for meeting the public benefit test. The establishment of the community centre and its maintenance and management provides access for the local community to a range of benefits including education, social welfare and recreation to improve the lives of that community. It is felt this satisfies such criteria.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Voluntary assistance

Voluntary assistance was provided throughout the year. Such assistance has been essential to the running of the charity particularly in fulfilling the objects of the charity.

No financial value has been placed on the services of volunteers as it is considered this value would be too hard to quantify.

Achievements and performance

2020 Accounts Chairman’s Report

To say we have experienced a most difficult trading year is a definite understatement.

The Covid 19 pandemic tested us all, we could never have anticipated the disastrous affect social distancing and lockdowns would cause the Centre.

The revenue from the Bournemouth U3A is one of our main sources of income.

Many of the participants are over 70 and therefore classified as vulnerable. Some were shielding and we were all advised to stay home and not mix with others.

Lockdown affected everyone and caution was advised for everyone over 50.

We had hoped U3A would be able to resume their activities in September, but the U3A Trustees decided reluctantly this could not happen and their activities were postponed until a hopeful January 2021.

Clients operating commercial activities were informed by the government to be covid secure and social distancing reduced classes to numbers which were not sustainable, this also led to cancellations.

We fortunately won a grant from the National Lottery Community Fund which helped to pay some salaries and utilities from September 2020 to March 2021 and we also received a business grant alongside furlough payments for the staff not working.

All this time the promise of a new roof, replacement hall windows and the long-awaited washrooms refurbishment were all postponed until 2021.

For your information this work has been resumed in June 2021. The roof and hall windows are the responsibility of the BCP Council. However, I must take the opportunity to thank everyone who helped to raise the money for the now completed washroom refurbishment. We could not have done this without you.

Finally, thank you Wendy and the team of staff and volunteers for your patience and the goodwill you have shown during a most challenging year.

J Robbins

Trustee and Chairman

Financial review

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

Free reserves, those reserves not tied up in fixed assets, designated reserves and restricted reserves are maintained for ongoing refurbishment. Due to increasing costs commensurate with activities and legislation, free reserves are held to meet potential risks.

MOORDOWN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Moordown Community Association is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 21 Coronation Avenue, BOURNEMOUTH, Dorset, BH9 1TW, England.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.3 Incoming resources

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.4 Resources expended

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 a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

1.5 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Leasehold land and buildings 25% on reducing balance Fixtures and fittings 25% on reducing balance Computers 25% on reducing balance

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

1.6 Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell . Stock represents items sold in the cafeteria only.

1.7 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.8 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

1.9 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

1.10 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any discounts due.

MOORDOWN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.11 Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts due.

1.12 Donated services and facilites

Donated services or facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. On receipt, donated services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

The time of volunteers is not recognised, refer to the trustees' annual report for more information about their contribution

The charity has a close working relationship with Bournemouth Borough Council, which has provided grant funding and donations for the furtherance of the charity's objects in years previous to the CIO.

The charity pays a peppercorn rent to the Council for the premises. As this amount is not material to the financial statements, no separate disclosure of the operating lease has been made.

Users of the community centre have where necessary installed their own equipment at the premises for their required activity only. Such equipment is excluded from the financial statements, as the assets have not been donated. The charity trustees do not act as custodian trustees nor do they have responsibility for such assets.
