To establish and secure a community centre and to maintain or manage or co-operate with any statutory authority in the management and maintenance of such a centre for activities promoted by the charity in furtherance of the above objects.

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)
You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:
-
policy on grantmaking;

policy programme related investment;

contribution made by volunteers.
The charity does not make any grants. All income is applied towards the management of the Centre. The charity has no investments for the above reason. Its day to day funding is held in a bank account with Virgin Bank (formerly Yorkshire Bank) PLC. It is not anticipated that there will be changes to this arrangement.
The charity encourages the use of volunteers. It has no paid employees and save for the occasional employment of contractors for instance to effect improvements to the Centre, or to conduct school holiday projects for children and parents, all other work is done by volunteers. There are presently insufficient funds to pay volunteers any expenses.
Section D Achievements and performance
For much of the time during the year to 31[st] March 2021 the Community Summary of the main Centre which forms the focus of the Charity was closed due to Covid achievements of the charity restrictions. This was similar to the previous year. Since the easing of during the year those restrictions the charity has begun to get back to operating normally. As a result of the closure however the Charity was for a part of the year largely inactive although trustee meetings were held regularly. Income was reduced over the year due to reduced lettings of the Community Centre, but this was supplemented by some grants. Fortunately expenditure was proportionately reduced.
As the year progressed and Covid restrictions lifted, bookings steadily increased and the Trustees are optimistic as to the coming year. The annual vegetable and flower show proved again to be a great success and there were also other events, especially around Christmas, which were very popular. In particular a children Christmas party, financially assisted by a local nursery, and a Christmas concert were both brilliant successes.

REPORT TO THE MEMBERS ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SHOLVER & MOORSIDE COMMUNITY TEAM
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 set out on pages 8 to 11.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
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”).
The charity’s trustees consider an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the 2011 Act, and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility as independent examiner to:
-
~ examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
~ follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and
-
~ to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of Independent Examiners Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 of disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent Examiners Statement
I have completed my examination for the year ended 31 March 2022.
I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
~ accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act or
-
~ the accounts do not accord with the accounting records to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
