## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

Newtown Community Association (Exeter, Devon) is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) which is governed by an ‘associated’ model Constitution adopted on 28[th] May 2017.  The charity was registered with the Charity Commission on 8[th] June 2017. 

Newtown Community Association is governed by a board comprising a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 12 appointed trustees. New trustees are appointed either through being elected by the members, or coopted by the existing trustees.  At each Annual General Meeting, one third of the trustees retire from office on a rotation basis. 

The trustees who served during the year and up to the date the report was approved are as follows: 

Stephen Palmer (Secretary) James Leigh (Treasurer) (to 7[th] June 2021) Jackie Holdstock Rory McNeile Christina Towler (from 15[th] November 2021) Kev Winser 

No nominations for Trustee were received for the AGM. 

## **Objectives** 

The objects of the CIO are as follows: 

(a) promote the benefit of all the inhabitants of Newtown, Exeter (the area bounded by the roads of Polsloe Road, Mount Pleasant Road, Iddesleigh Road, Old Tiverton Road, Sidwell Street, Paris Street and Heavitree Road.) and the neighbourhood, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, nationality, age, disability, race or of political, religious or other opinions by associating together the said inhabitants and the statutory 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 object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants; 

(b) establish, or to secure the establishment, of a community centre (hereinafter called “the centre”) and to maintain and manage the same (whether alone or in co-operation with any statutory authority or other person or body) in furtherance of the above objects; 

(c) promote such other charitable purposes as may from time to time be determined by majority vote of the management committee of the association.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2021** 

## **Public Benefit** 

The Trustees have given due consideration to the Charity Commission’s published guidance on the Public Benefit requirement under the Charities Act 2011.  The trustees are satisfied that the charity’s activities as described in this report meet the public benefit purposes of the advancement of community development and the advancement of education. 

## **Main activities and achievements during the year** 

The year was dominated by restrictions due to Covid-19, which were gradually lifted. We started the year with the only bookings allowed for the Community Centre being for elite athletes, work training and support groups; one highlight was use by a person preparing for a ballet exam. A gradual relaxing of restrictions started in March; reduced capacity remained in place for the rest of the year. A number of Covid support grants were received, plus one from Devon Sports to support the restart of the Qigong group. 

We finally resolved the problem about the electricity meter from the old hut. Unfortunately, we are still unable to register the solar panels for the Smart Export Guarantee tariff due to British Gas failing to resolve the metering. The formal complaint we made to Ofgen was inconclusive, and the only remaining solution is to transfer to a more capable supplier at the end of the British Gas contract in 2022. An acknowledgement board was designed and put up in the Centre lobby, thanking all those involved in the construction of the Centre. 

We continued to use self-employed contractors for the roles of Manager and Assistant Manager, and for cleaning and security; these continued through the lock-down period. These arrangements have worked well. There is a regular meeting for managers of all Community Centres in Exeter, and NCA was represented. 

The NCA “Friends of Belmont Park” group continues to work with Exeter City Council Parks and Open Spaces team on ideas for improving the children’s play area in Belmont Park, under the new leadership of Rachael Shah. 

The Hallmaster package for managing room bookings has continued to operate. The ability to display the Covid-related terms and conditions was a new feature. There continues to be a 30-minute gap between successive bookings. One-off bookings are now required to pay a deposit with the booking fee; this has deterred people from cancelling at short notice and recouped the cost of extra rooms or time not booked. 

## **Meeting our Purposes** 

NCA works to fulfil its purposes in two main ways. The first is through use of the Community Centre by a wide variety of user groups. These cover a wide range of cultures, languages and interests, and there are very few days when there is not at least one booking, and most days have several bookings. 

The second way is by acting as an umbrella for a variety of groups. Some of these are regular specific NCA activities; others are for specific projects. 

The Social Café restarted in May, and has continued monthly. The Qigong group had continued at a low level online, then returned to meeting, and numbers grew. The Roots Band resumed meeting when allowed, and continues to be popular. The Community Choir has not restarted, a new leader is needed. During the year we investigated holding a Chess club, but decided it was not viable. The Exeter Jazz Orchestra was started as an NCA activity in May, and has attracted a good group of musicians, and is developing well. 

There was a Summer Sunday Musical Café on 25 July. This was a great success, with sets from the Exeter Jazz Orchestra and the Roots Band. Drinks and cakes were organised by a group from St Sids. Thanks to all involved.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2021** 

## **Meeting our Purposes (continued)** 

A project “Garden for the Bees” was started in the summer, with wildflower and other planting in an area at the junction of Clifton Road and Clifton Street, as well as in the planters by the Centre. This was supported by an ECC Locality Grant and has been a success with a dedicated group of volunteers and much interest generated. 


## **Reach and engagement** 

The NCA website http://newtowncommunity.org.uk/ has continued to operate. 

NCA news has continued to be shared through Jayne Leaver’s Community Builder newsletter for the Newtown area. This cooperation is working very well, though it would be helpful to have a NCA volunteer to work with Jayne. 

NCA social media presence was managed very capably through the year by Kev Winser. 

The 2021 AGM was held on 25 September as a hybrid meeting in the large room, with some people joining over Zoom.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2021** 

## **Financial Review** 

The CIO made a net deficit in the year of £5,663 (2020 - deficit £20,255). 

Total income showed an increase of 43% compared to 2020 with grant income increasing by 35%, centre rental by 49% and event income by 18%. 

Total expenditure decreased by 4.5% compared to the previous year with reductions in costs for the centre management, repairs and renewals and cleaning costs. 

The CIO carried forward balances at 31[st] December 2021 of £489,740, of which £2,000 was held in restricted funds. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

Unrestricted reserves totalled £487,740 at the year-end of which £27,061 was held in net current assets and is the effective charity reserves.  This equates to between 7-8 months unrestricted expenditure and is considered an adequate reserve by the trustees.  The trustees continue to monitor the financial situation of the charity.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF** 

## **NEWTOWN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION (EXETER, DEVON)** 

I report on the accounts of the charitable incorporated association for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 8 to 16. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As trustees of the CIO, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the CIO are not required to be audited and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the CIO’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 CIO as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records. 

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.

## **NEWTOWN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION (EXETER, DEVON) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2021** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **a) Basis of Accounting** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to the accounts.  The financial statements have been prepared with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1[st] January 2019) and with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). The financial statements have also been prepared with the Charities Act 2011. 

Newtown Community Association (Exeter, Devon) meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 

## **b) Tangible Fixed Assets: Leasehold Property: New Centre** 

The site of the new centre is held on a lease of 35 years from Exeter City Council.  As there is no recompense for the association should it be wound up before the expiry of the lease, it was felt prudent by the trustees to depreciate the property over 25 years (4% on a straight line basis) rather than the full length of the lease. 

## **c) Tangible Assets: Fixtures and Fittings and Equipment** 

   - Fixtures and Fittings and Equipment are capitalised when the amount exceeds £500. 

   - Fixtures and Fittings are depreciated at a rate of 15% and equipment at a rate of 20%. 

- **d) Debtors** 

Debtors are measured on initial recognition at the settlement amount after any discounts. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **e) Cash at bank** 

- Cash at bank includes short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## **f) Creditors** 

Creditors are recognised when the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.  Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## **g)  Income** 

All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income, receipt is probable and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. 

Grant income is credited in the period in which it is receivable and any amounts relating to future periods are shown under creditors. 

Rental income and monies received from charity events are accounted for on a receivable basis.

## **h) Volunteer help** 

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the financial statements but is described in the trustees’ annual report.

Expenditure is included on an accruals basis. 

Charitable activities are costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries.

Funds held by the charity are: 

## **Unrestricted Income Funds** 

These are funds that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application within the charitable objects for the general purposes of the charity. 

## **Restricted Income Funds** 

These are funds which can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity.  Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when the funds are raised for particular purposes. 

## **k) Financial Instruments** 

The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

## **l) Going concern** 

The trustees consider there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
