TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 (continued)
Chairman’s Report 2020-2021
As TCA entered the new financial year in April 2020, the UK had just begun the first of three lockdowns in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Trustees had no idea, at that point, that the disruption would last so long and were optimistic about the future.
As the lockdown continued, it became clear that many groups and societies, especially those with elderly members, would not resume their activities until the Autumn of 2020. In the event, most had not returned by the close of the financial year, to March 31[st] 2021, and some will not return at all. At first, the Trustees agreed to continue to pay staff in full even though they were unable to work, but when the Chancellor announced his Furlough Scheme to support businesses, the Treasurer, together with our payroll adviser, decided to take full advantage. At this point, the Trustees agreed to continue to pay full salaries, recovering 80% from HMRC. The Furlough Scheme was revised in the Autumn, meaning business were required to pay a larger contribution, but it was then returned to the full 80% and was then extended to September 2021.
The Treasurer applied to Chester West and Chester for a Business Support Grant of £10,000 which was granted. This, together with the Furlough Scheme and the few events which were able to take place in the Autumn has allowed TCA to end the financial year on a smaller loss than might have been expected. While the building was closed, a volunteer painted many of the interior walls so that the whole place was in good repair for the future. Bolesworth Estate also painted the external doors to fit with its new branding and the Trustees have been in talks with them about external repairs and repainting being carried out later this year.
The Barbour Institute re-opened in August 2020 but the Covid-19 restrictions meant that many groups were unable to return. Hand sanitizers were installed and a one way system was set up, with the necessary signage to offer users maximum protection. Only two large events were able to take place before the third lockdown began in December 2020 and was largely still in place at the end of March 2021.
At the end of the financial year, the situation is still positive and the indications are that bookings will pick up as the country exits the lockdown. Careful management will be required to ensure that the financial position improves and the Barbour Institute remains open for the benefit of the community.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
to the Trustees
of
TATTENHALL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION CIO
I report on the accounts of the Association for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages [7] to [9].
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As the Association's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to our attention:
- (1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act: and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records have not been met: or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
