Camden Community Centres' Consortium Trustee Report - Year End 31 March 2022

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

Objectives and Activities

Camden Community Centres' Consortium continues to grow and develop in terms of the number of projects that we are involved in, and our general influence and profile throughout the borough.

Our members work collaboratively to meet the needs of our diverse communities, with many projects being created as a result of our formalised consortium structure. All member organisations pay £500 per year membership fee, which helps increase engagement in and ownership of the consortium.

Anyone working in the voluntary sector for the last decade is not surprised by ‘the crisis. For years, we’ve seen first-hand the impact of austerity on lower-income families, those with disabilities and other marginalised groups. We’ve been raising awareness and warning of the stretch in the system while doing our best to meet these needs and help our communities.

In 2021 as the country emerged from lockdown and everyone was so thankful for our key workers and communities, there was a moment when it felt perhaps this was it – at last – change was coming.

As we all know, sadly, that’s not what happened. Instead, the crisis is now so bad that it impacts not only the people we serve but our staff, peers and selves.

Against this backdrop, it is more important than ever that we stand together as community champions and leaders. Our role as the consortium for charities in Camden has intensified. We are the invisible sector, stepping up to fill widening gaps in social care, health, education, and youth services. Our colleagues around the table are hugely experienced at stepping up and finding solutions, navigating shrinking budgets and growing needs, and somehow able to laugh together at the madness and bring comfort in sharing the strains.

In the last year, we have maintained regular meetings (once every two months) using zoom and blended sessions where needed. These have been well attended, with more than half the membership represented at each meeting.

The world around us has shifted seismically, yet conversations around the C4 table remain constant.

Trustee Report - Year End 31 March 2022

Statement of Trustees Responsibilities

The Trustees are aware that Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the directors are required to:-

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 Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Statement as to Disclosure of Information to Independent Examiner

So far as the Trustees are aware, there is no relevant information of which the charitable company’s Independent examiners are unaware, and each trustee has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a trustee in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity’s auditors are of that information.

A resolution proposing the reappointment of Hamilton Coopers as auditors will be put to the annual general meeting.

Method of preparation of accounts

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity’s Memorandum and Articles of Association and comply with the Companies Act 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), “Accounting and Reporting by Charities Act 2011.

These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.

This report was approved by the Board of Trustees on ……………………………. and signed on its 16 December 2022 behalf by:

Camden Community Centres' Consortium Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022

1 Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are setout below and have remained unchanged from the previous year and have also been consistently applied within the same accounts.

Accounting convention

a) Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern:

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the consortium's ability to continue as a going concern.

The company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

b) Reconciliation with previous Generally Accepted Accounting Practice

In preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 the restatement of comparative items was required. No restatements were required.

Incoming Resources

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants It is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Income from charitable activities includes primary purpose trading

Income from charitable activities includes primary purpose trading, income earned both from the supply of goods or services under contractual arrangements or grant agreements, which have conditions that specify the provision of particular goods or services to be provided and undertaken for the charitable purposes of the charity.

Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

9

Camden Community Centres' Consortium Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the consortium's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the consortium.

Expenditure recognition

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings.

Allocation of support costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back-office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support C4's programmes and activities.

Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Debtors

Debtors are recognised at the settlement recoverable amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes is held to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due rather than for investment purposes and may include short-term deposits.

Creditors, deferrals and provisions

Creditors and provisions are liabilities where we have a present obligation to a third party that we shall normally pay by cash. Provisions are measured or estimated as reliably as possible.

Where performance-related conditions are specified in a grant, the income will only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the facility or service. Any income received in advance of the conditions being met are deferred and shown under creditors.
