## **Public benefit statement**
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, 'Charities and Public Benefit'.
## **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit**
- College community sewing classes;
- Boxing for the young ones in the community;
- Taekwondo;
- Asian music;
- War games;
- Different denominational services;
- Meeting with council members regarding the future furtherance of matters to do with the centre;
- Dances for the community on Jamaican Independence Day;
- St. ay;
- St. Kitts and Trinidad & Tobago Independence days;
- Christmas party for the children;
- Our Annual General meeting;
- Hosting other community groups;
- Welfare advice;
- Vaccine centre.
All activities benefit the public by enabling the coming together of the community and visitors, learning and listening to what is said and responding to the benefit of the community and the enhancement of the public welfare.
## **Summary of the main achievements during the period**
- We were a centre for the vaccine programme, also helping people outside of our community;
- We were open for the college for education;
- The advice group was open to the community and others for welfare matters; Nottingham Energy Partnership was also available to the public; We contributed to the finance of the Sheriff Social Club during Covid-19.
Thanks for support from Marc Petrucci, Dawn Lynch, Vicky Richardson and all the workers during a very difficult year.
## **Financial review**
We operated on a planned deficit during Covid-19. Financially, we are slowly recovering after Covid-19. We have had some groups that have not returned but also had some new groups that started.
The main risk for the future is of Sheriff Social Club not returning to pre-Covid-19 income levels and our other centre users not returning.

## **Independent e**
## **report to the trustees of**
## **for the year ended 31 March 2022**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Community Association CIO (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts
section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records.
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.
