Review of the Business
The charity reported an excess of income over expenditure of £7,081 (2021 £20,880 surplus) for the year.
Scope
On the 2 June 2017 ENCA took over management and responsibility for running the community centre, now known as Eagle’s Nest Community Centre (formally named Arnold Hill Community Centre) with the aim of managing, renovating & repurposing it. ENCA has a 99 year, full repairing lease.
Our vision in managing the Community Centre is to provide a multi-use, multi-generational community hub of excellence that is widely used by the people of Arnold. We will build community, be a catalyst for volunteer projects and partner with others to increase social provision.
The strategic aims as outlined in our business plan are as follows:
-
Encourage groups from every generation in Arnold to use and see the benefits of the community centre.
-
Collaborate with other users and community groups to ensure a breadth of community provision across the town.
-
Increase use of the community centre by people suffering economic hardship and social isolation.
-
Increase revenue and cut costs to ensure the long-term viability of the community centre.
How we are fulfilling our strategic aims:
Throughout 2021-2022, Eagles Nest Community Centre continued to be used as a vaccine site for Covid19. The centre remained the only site providing vaccines in the NG5 area and during the winter months the centre was able to give around 1000 vaccinations per weekend.
This financial year has been much more stable with groups able to increase capacity and new groups opening due to Covid restrictions coming to an end. We also have been able to once again been able to hire out the centre to the local community for private functions.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The trustees' (who are also directors of the company for company law) are reponsible for the preparation of the accounts.

Basis of Independent Examination
My examination was carried out in accordance with the directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes review of accounting records kept by the charity and comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of the any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from Director Trustees on any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required for an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below
