Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 September 2022

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims

Charitable objects:

To provide a range of trainings, advice and relationship building services and opportunities for vulnerable people.

The relief of poverty amongst persons in conditions of need, hardship, and distress.

To assist and support needy people in the interest of social welfare, designed to improve their conditions of life.

To further the education of deprived young adults through the continued development of their capabilities, skills and understanding in subjects of educational value.

The promotion of any other exclusively charitable objects and purposes such as the trustees see fit, provided that they are regarded as charitable by the law of England and Wales.

Our aims:

Many individuals between us, are living in challenging circumstances and deprived environments. Without the right support and interventions, they struggle to cope with their issues and often daily challenges. Whether their struggle is poverty, vulnerability and social isolation, family breakdown, bereavement, illness, learning disabilities or communication difficulties, every person needs someone to guide them to tackle their situation.

We unite people who are vulnerable and lonely.

We unite people who need a friend to talk to. We unite people to share and communicate.

By bringing them together, we enable them to transform their lives into a brighter experience.

We believe that through guidance and support in a safe space, offering support and rapport, there is a scope for transformation in their lives.

Our mission:

To support vulnerable young people, adults and the elderly through invigorating activities in a safe, calm and relaxing environment giving them the opportunity to unwind from their daily struggles and hardships.

Our vision:

To empower deprived and disengaged people with skills and resilience to combat and succeed in their challenges and imbue them with hope for a better future.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Community Hub

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Community Hub

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Community Hub (the Trust) for the year ended 30 September 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
