REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
The Trustees present their annual report and audited financial statements for the year ended the 31st December, 2021.
STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The charity is governed by a CIO Foundation constitution dated 22nd November, 2016, registered 2nd December, 2016 to perform the objects of the trust.
The recruitment, appointment and training of new trustees are conducted by existing trustees.
OBJECTIVES OF THE CHARITY
To create the environment and infrastructure for engagement with the local community within the area, which lead to social mobility in the local community, to create employment and education opportunities to create community cohesion and to hold events to bring the community together to facilitate space for community use.
To further or benefit the residents of Hemmingwell 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 interest of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents.
In furtherance of these objects, but not otherwise, the Trustees shall have power:
-
→ To establish or secure the establishment of a community centre and to maintain or manage or co-operate with any statutory authority in the maintenance and management of such a centre for the activities promoted by the charity in furtherance of the above objects.
-
→ To promote social inclusion for the public benefit in Hemmingwell by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, relieving the need of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society. 'Socially excluded' means being excluded from society, or part of society, as a result of being a member of a socially and economically deprived community.
-
→ To act as a resource for you people up to the age of 30 living in Hemmingwell by providing advice and assistance and organising programmes of physical, educational and other activities as a means of:
-
Advancing in life and helping young people by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals.
-
Advancing education
-
Relieving Unemployment
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 2021 the continuing impact of the pandemic and continued short lockdowns greatly affected the Hemmingwell Community & Skills Centre. Where the centre had been and was still intermittently 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, This food pantry was replaced in October by a Food Bank (sponsored by Goodwill Solutions and run solely by the Hemmingwell Community & Skills Centre CIO).
-
→ Provided centre at a subsidised cost for children’s holiday activities with hot, healthy meals, taken home by children for themselves and their family members.
-
→ 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. This was evolved later in the year and is now run by the volunteers in collaboration with Hemmingwell Community Centre CIO.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES - CONTINUED
REVIEW OF THE DEVELOPMENT, ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS DURING THE YEAR (CON'D)
-
→ Providing a Christmas party and presents for the local children, to help ensure they can participate in the festive celebrations.
-
→ Working in partnership with numerous other entities, such as Open Kitchen CIC, Community Watch Northamptonshire, Elmore Education Ltd, Shudan CIC, NMPat, Police Crime Commissioners, 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.
FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR
The financial statements for the year ended the 31st December, 2021 show a deficit of £23,908 (2020 surplus - £32,021). 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, 2021, reserve stood at £17,423, which the trustees have deemed sufficient, particularly given the level of cash reserves held.
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 was prevalent during the year under review, is Covid-19, the centre adapted its service provisions to ensure it was Covid-19 compliant.
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.
