Mark Cross Community Centre Trustees' Report
Legal status
Mark Cross Community Centre (MCCC) is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered with the Charity’s Commission under registration no: 1171983 on the 10th March 2017
Charity Objectives
To provide a community centre facility for the whole community.
Achievements and Performance
Due to Coronavirus the Community Centre has remained shut for most of the year ended 31st March 2021 so the Charity has had only a very small amount of income as shown on page 5. It closure also meant that all users of the hall had to stop their activities at short notice and some of our customers have not been in position to reestablish themselves once the restrictions were lifted.
The Community Centre relies on these small groups for a large part of its income and the trustees are working with these groups to assist them where possible.
Sinking fund
It is a condition of our lease under faculty that the Community centre contributes annually to a sinking fund. The Community centre's contribution to this is £1,000 annually on the 1st January each year. The landlord will produce annual accounts of service charge expenditure and funds in the sinking fund made up to 31st March each year. The 2021 payment was deferred until November 2021 and therefore we have not provided for this liability in the attached accounts.
Utilities
As at year ending 31st March 2020 the Community Centre were awaiting an invoice for light and heat amounting to £1,124 This has been received and paid in this period of accounts along with the ongoing light and heat costs that were incurred and payable in the period ending 31 March 2021
Future
Cash reserves have allowed the Community Centre to remain financially viable despite the lack of income and some of its customers have returned. The Community centre is currently seeking new customers to fill the available time slots and to maximize the Charity's future income.

Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider the audit requirement of Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 does not apply for this year and that an independent examination is needed

-
- section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act: and
-
« state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention : Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements :
- ¢ To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011; and To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 2011
have not been met: or
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
