PUBLIC BENEFIT

All of the Charity's activities are undertaken to further our charitable purpose for the benefit of the public. The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit in section four of the Charities Act 2011. The main benefits which have arisen during the year from the organisations aims and activities are detailed in the following sections and in the financial review.

REVIEW OF THE DEVELOPMENT, ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS DURING THE YEAR

During 2020 the Coronavirus pandemic and lockdown conditions greatly impacted the Hemmingwell Community & Skills Centre. Whilst the centre was unable to open to regular groups, staff and volunteers collaborated to help the vulnerable members of the local community. The centre organisations and initiatives were able to deliver certain community-based services in order to provide assistance to local people:

→Provided the opportunity for the use of the centre to be home for a food pantry to support the vulnerable families in and around Hemmingwell,
→Provided centre at a subsidised cost for holiday activities with hot healthy meals,
→Provided use of the facilities to support the CIRV programme (Community Initiative to reduce violence) for mentoring for teenagers who would otherwise be involved in gangs,
→Provided a range of support, courses and training via SEMLAP funding,
→ Provided opportunity for the centre to be used by local tuition company, teaching and supporting vulnerable students and students from ‘key worker’ families throughout the lockdown and following on from this,
→Support of the active residents' association,
→We have provided training to people living on the Hemmingwell Estate to gain CSCS Green cards,
→Service Six set up the local Youth Club, involving volunteers from the New Hemmingwell Residents’ Association,
→ Working in partnership with numerous other entities, such as Open Kitchen CIC, Community Watch Northamptonshire, Elmore Education Ltd, Shudan CIC, NMPat to name but a few.�

All the activities carried out from the Centre were of great benefit to the local and wider community, particularly, during such a difficult time.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES - CONTINUED

FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR

The financial statements for the year ended the 31st December, 2020 show a surplus of £32,021 (2019 - £5,387). No remuneration or expenses were paid to the trustees in either year.

POLICY ON RESERVES

As a relatively new Charity, the CIO is in the process of building reserves so that should operations be curtailed unexpectedly over the forthcoming year the reserves are sufficient to sustain operations for a period of time. As at 31st December, 2020, reserve stood at £41,331, which the trustees have worked hard on building over the last 12 months and will continue to build over the coming 12 months.

RISK ASSESSMENT POLICY

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate their exposure to the major risks. One key factor, which arose after the year end being reported on, is Covid-19, the centre adapted its service provisions to ensure it was Covid-19 compliant. The financial support available and the continued use of the centre post lock-down has maintained the financial security of the charity.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The Charity's future plans include the continued buildings of relationships in the local community to meet the charity objects and continue its charitable activity. The Charity plans to apply for the Community Asset Transfer of the building to the charity, which will create huge opportunity to increase funding and expansion of services.

TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
observe the method and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for maintaining 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 the Charities Act 2011, the charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provision of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
