Aims and Objectives
The objects of the CIO are
(1) To advance the education of the general public in Tadcaster and the surrounding area, in particular but not exclusively by supporting the provision of a lending library;
2) To further or benefit the residents of Tadcaster and the neighbourhood, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by associating together the said residents and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents.'
Nothing in this constitution shall authorise an application of the property of the CIO for the purposes, which are not charitable in accordance with [section 7 of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005] and [section 2 of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008
Review of the year’s activities and summary of the main achievements during the year
During the period of this report the organisation has continued to run volunteer operated sessions with advisory input from North Yorkshire County Council. Training for new volunteers is ongoing in the systems and processes and North Yorkshire County Council periodically offers training to new volunteers. In addition, we have face to face training for new initiatives undertaken by members of the management committee and a part-time self-employed contractor.
During this period Tadcaster Community Library has received funding of £800 from Selby District Council in recognition of services offered at the library to assist citizens accessing District Council services, as there is no council presence in the town
To assist Tadcaster Community Library in continuing their services a Covid grant was provided by central government via Selby District Council to keep the charity afloat during the pandemic. Some of this grant is to be used in installing double glazed windows, using a local installer
During the current reporting period the library was closed for extensive periods during the global COVID 19 pandemic. The reserves held by the charity as a result of normal operation have diminished to a very low amount, since the usual income streams were much reduced, but the Covid grant is sustaining the charity for this year and next year.
Statement of Responsibilities of the Trustees of Tadcaster Community Library
The Board of Trustees is responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy, at any time, the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable Accounting Standards and Statements of Recommended Practice. The Board is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of Tadcaster Community Library and hence for taking responsible steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.
