## Governance
The trust was constituted under the Trust Deed dated 3rd April 2017
New trustees are appointed by the trustees who shall have power to make such appointment by a resolution of a fully constituted meeting of the trustees.
The trustees hold meetings regularly during the year and matters are decided by the majority of votes of the trustees present at any meeting.
## Address
The address of the principal office of the trust is Westwood Christian Centre, Westwood Edge, Golcar, Huddersfield, HD7 4JY
## Objectives and Activities
The objectives of the CIO are the advancement of the Christian faith and Christian education, by the provision of accommodation, seminar, conference and retreat facilities at Westwood Mission, Golcar, Huddersfield, with the facilities available for the local community to use too. The CIO was registered in April 2017 and took over the activities formerly conducted by Westwood Mission Trust with effect from 6th May 2017. The trustees of the Westwood Mission Trust agreed to transfer all property, assets and operations of the Trust to the CIO at their meeting on 6 May 2017 and from that date on all transactions have been recorded in the accounts of the Westwood Christian Centre.
The property acquired was appraised by a professional surveyor in June 2017 and the valuation of £500,000 has not been updated since then but has been used for these financial statements.

## **Trustees Annual Report (continued) for the period ended 31 March 2021**
## Achievements and Performance
During 2020/21 there were no changes to the on-site wardens at Westwood Christian Centre, but the activity of the centre was curtailed for most of the year due to Covid-19 lockdown measures with the first shutdown beginning just before the start of the financial year and continuing until August. During August, September and October we were able to welcome some guests, but not the usual church groups. From November through until 12 April, just after the end of the financial year, the centre was again closed. Whilst the centre was closed we were able to take advantage of this and have some redecorating and some garden improvements done. We also replaced two ageing boliers as part of our programme of ongoing maintenance works.
We have attempted to increase our activity on social media in order to keep Westwood in the minds of potential clients and to support this have commissioned some additional work by one of our warden team to keep our website and posts up to date.
Whilst many of our bookings have been from individuals and groups located in the north of England, we have also hosted people from throughout the UK and some visitors from Europe in the past. The trustees are mindful that their objective is not to compete with local hotels, but to offer a place for Christian study and retreat as a peaceful sanctuary. Although more bookings are always welcome, the trustees believe the activities of the Centre will be able to operate in a viable manner once Covid-19 restrictions are lifted and grant support ceases.
## Future Plans and Developments
As mentioned above, we aim to keep our website and social media presence up to date in order to attract new customers and in line with this, we aim to change the website to allow online bookings. We are also looking at ways to improve the sustainability of the Centre by increasing our recycling, reducing energy usage and reducing our overall environmental impact.
We also have a programme of refurbishing the rooms in the property and renewing windows, doors and walls to improve the standard of accommodation offered and ensure that it is appropriate to, and safe for, current visitor requirements.
## Financial Review
Full details of the financial transactions for the 12 months to 31 March 2021 are contained in the attached accounts. The income for the year on unrestricted funds was £67,827, which was almost 20% lower than the previous 12 months, due to lockdown restrictions. After deducting total expenditure of £62,011, the net result was a surplus to unrestricted funds of £5,816. There were no receipts during the year on restricted funds for our roof appeal, which stands at £1,967.
## Reserves Policy
The CIO retains modest cash reserves to meet expenditure as incurred. The trustees are aiming to increase the reserves held in order to provide better protection against fluctuations in income or expenditure of the charity, with the objective of holding cash reserves sufficient to cover up to 6 months of operating costs. The level of unrestricted reserves held as at 31 March 2021 was £257,507.

## **Trustees Annual Report ( continued) for the period ended 31 March 2021**
## Risk Management
The trustees consider that there are four key risks to the fund :
Deterioration of the building;
Any restriction being placed on the charity's activities; Increased costs of working; Unexpected loss of warden staff.
The risk to the building is mitigated by the ongoing maintenance programme and five-yearly inspections by an Architect
The Trustees are not aware of any immediate threat from the other risks, but review the situation at each meeting. At the end of the financial year the UK wide 'lockdown' to combat Covid-19 had forced the centre to shut and meant several months with no income. Fortunately, government support measures such as grants, rates holiday and the CJRS offset this loss of income. It is clear there will be reduced income from groups during the 2021/22 financial year too.
## Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
Make adjustments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, unless it is not appropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operational existence.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. 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.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Westwood Christian Centre**
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the period ended 31st March 2021, which are set out on pages 6 to 10.
## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under 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.
## **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 contents of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true & 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.
