## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The purpose ofthe charity as set out in its governing document - to further or benefit people living in and around Ocean Road and the wider community in South Shields, without distinction of sex,sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by associating together the said residents and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents. The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes include various social, arts and crafts, youth and sports and fitness activities. The centre also has a thriving canteen and hires out various rooms. The above activities are all for the benefit of the local residents of Ocean Road and the surrounding areas and for the public benefit.

## ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
After a challenging year with lockdowns and the uncertainty of our members and groups returning, we managed to sustain a service which was not our normal routine but was that of support to when and what we could offer. We adapted some of our classes onto Zoom so we were still in contact with our young people and elderly. We were surprised how many of our older members adapted to online classes so quickly. While in national lockdowns we still opened for small hours and supported families with food parcels who were the most vulnerable and was able to offer a space for our essential services. When lockdowns lifted some of our groups came back as many needed that face to face contact and social support which we offer through our groups and community café. We look forward to another positive return of groups in the summer where we see more returning to our centre after their own personal confidence builds.
## FINANCIAL REVIEW
The company's financial position at the end of the year is as set out on pages 5 to 13 The trustees have determined that Ocean Road Centre still has sufficient reserves to cover them for 2 years running costs. The trustees have used the funds to give the centre a paint and refurbishment where needed. New chairs for the café, flooring being replaced in the Norman Kaid Suite. However not much work could take place during the lockdowns; both national and locally hit us hard.
Two funding grants by CCLORS and Postcode Lottery have helped to increase our classes and have gained a new member of staff and was able to give extra hours for current staff. This has reflected the need of more staffing due to the increase of our groups.
The trustees are looking what else we can offer for the community; suggestions have been a climbing wall and we are in talk with a company for costs and to install this. This will be a new and exciting addition to what we currently offer.
The trustees are still aware that the heating system is now almost 20 years old and the heating in the reception and café is insufficient during winter periods. So we continue to look and review the building to see how we can improve it for our users.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT The Centre is governed by the Memorandum and Articles of Association registered at Companies House The recruitment and appointment of new trustees is governed by $12 of the Articles Of Association, which states that the Trustees may at any time appoint additional trustees, being persons who are considered able to contribute to the proper management and conduct of the business of the Charity and further its objects. The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that 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 Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The above report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime as set out in Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT
## Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Ocean Road Centre
I report on the accounts of Ocean Road Centre for the period ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Summary Income and Expenditure Account, the Balance Sheet and the related notes.
## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under the Charities Act 2011, s.144(2) (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under s.145 of the 2011 Act,
- follow procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under s.145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## Basis of independent examiner's report
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 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:
- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: to keep accounting records in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, s.386 and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities, have not been met: or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
