BOTM - Chairs Annual Report 2023 

Chair – Chris Furlong 

The last year has been hard for most people in our area and the Centre has tried to help our Community in as many ways as it can. We have increased the number of sessions and events we have in the Centre and we have also increased the number of free sessions. We currently have the Free Heat and Eat session, which we operate through the Winter, every Thursday. We have opened a not for profit Food Pantry which is also open on a Thursday. We also offer free toast and hot Soup between Monday and Friday. 

The variety of sessions we offer has also increased from toddler sessions through to a Luncheon Club for our older Centre users. We have continued with the boxing sessions and have worked with Rochdale FC for their School Holiday sessions. We have also helped some of our session providers by letting them hold their sessions here for free. 

In the last 12 months we have completely refurbished the Centre, from the back area which now has artificial grass. We now have new windows and grill. The Centre itself has also had a fresh lick of paint and we are awaiting the new front door and security doors to be installed. 

A special mention to Jane and her team of volunteers. With Janes management the Centre has gone from strength to strength and our future here looks very rosey 

We also would like to thank our partnership with Cadent and we are very grateful for their help in funding the Centre and the people who are employed here.  All of which has left the Centre in a stable financial positioning. 

Thank you all for coming to our Centre and we look forward to the coming year. 

Chris Furlong – Chair, on behalf of the Board.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** 

## **Year Ended 31 March 2023** 

## **1. General Information** 

The society is registered under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014. The address of the registered office is Back O'Th Moss Community Centre, 42 Coppy Bridge Drive, Rochdale, OL16 3AR. 

## **2. Statement of Compliance** 

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Section 1A of FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'. 

## **3. Accounting Policies** 

## **Basis of Preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through profit or loss. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. 

## **Revenue Recognition** 

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods supplied and services rendered, net of discounts and Value Added Tax. 

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer (usually on despatch of the goods); the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity; and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliably. 

## **Tangible Assets** 

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at  the  date  of  revaluation  less  any subsequent  accumulated  depreciation  and  subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, except to the extent it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised  in other comprehensive income to the extent  of any previously recognised revaluation increase accumulated in equity in respect  of that asset. Where a revaluation decrease  exceeds the accumulated revaluation gains accumulated in equity in respect of that asset, the excess shall be recognised in profit or loss. 

## **Depreciation** 

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: 

Plant & Machinery - 25% straight line Fixtures & Fittings - 25% straight line Office Equipment - 25% straight line

## **3. Accounting Policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Impairment of Fixed Assets** 

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. 

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. 

For impairment  testing of  goodwill, the goodwill  acquired  in a business  combination is, from  the acquisition  date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the society are assigned to those units. 

## **Financial Instruments** 

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the  society becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Basic financial  instruments  are  initially recognised  at  the transaction price,  unless  the  arrangement constitutes a  financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. 

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

Where investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary shares or preference shares are publicly  traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. 

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. 

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in profit or loss, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship. 

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. 

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these  are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. 

Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

## **3. Accounting Policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Defined Contribution Plans** 

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. 

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss in the period in which it arises. 

## **4. Employee Numbers** 

The average number of persons employed by the society during the year amounted to Nil (2022: 5).

Profit before taxation is stated after charging:
