TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "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)".
Objectives and activities
The charitable objects are to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Crawley Down and the neighbourhood without distinction of sex or of political, religious or other opinions by associating the local authorities, voluntary organisations and inhabitants in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreations and leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life of the said inhabitants. Further to this, the charity aims to establish a community centre and to maintain and manage such a centre for activities promoted by the association. There has been no changes to these charitable objectives during the year.
The Management Committee have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake.
Achievements and performance
Whilst lettings during the financial year fluctuated with some exceptional months, there were occasions when non-regular repairs and maintenance outweighed the beneficial effects of the better months. There is improvement but there is still some way to go in building the reserve funds to the level that is required which is, preferably, a minimum of up to six months operational means. The year end finished on a more positive note.
The Haven Centre is now over 30 years old, consequently there is more maintenance, the issues bigger and costs have increased. It is an important aspect as it affects the overall appearance and appeal to the community.
As a result of the presentation given showing the results from AKOU’s research a Focus Group was formed. The first action was to carry out a complete refurbishment of The Haven Café and Bar. This was done through crowdfunding and grants, donations of materials and peoples’ time to carry out the work. Following the completion of the work it was decided to rename the Café and Bar to Lounge & Bar and the centre to just The Haven.
Grants were applied for to replace the current heating system without success. As there are many other organisations also looking for grants the completion of an application requires expertise in that area. Applications were made to Mid Sussex District Council and Gatwick Airport Community Trust for grants towards refurbishment of the Lounge & Bar and upgrading the IT in the centre. These were successful with £5,000 and £1,000 being awarded respectively.
Through S106 monies we were able to upgrade the lighting in the car park and add a lamp post which would cover lighting the overflow car park
There was concern that after the annual service of the boilers only one remained functional. However, our service provider found a part which has worked and given us some respite.
A VE Day celebration was held which incorporated stalls including one of old time sweets, old fashioned games, funfair, songs and demonstrations of dances popular from the era and with some very generously donated raffle prizes. The event carried on into the evening with entertainment and food also available. Overall it was a great success. Mid Sussex District Council also gave a grant towards the running costs of the event.
Financial review
During the year the charity had net outgoing resources for the year of £6,991 (2024 net outgoing resources of £11,378) as shown on the statement of financial activities on page 5 of the accounts. All of the charity's assets are held for the furtherance of the charity's objectives.

CRAWLEY DOWN COMMUNITY CENTRE ASSOCIATION
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The Management Committee consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is governed by a Charitable Incorporated Organisation constitution which was adopted on 12 July 2017.
The Trustees who served during the year were: F Lancaster J Dixon M Martin S Earle M Langdon S Smith (Resigned 25 June 2025) L Dixon J Smith (Resigned 19 March 2025) C Hamer (Appointed 19 March 2025) H Monnier (Appointed 23 September 2025) D Terry (Appointed 23 September 2025) A Metcalfe (Appointed 23 September 2025)
It has been acknowledged for some time that our structure and management no longer reflect today’s needs and needs to be radically overhauled. This should be a target for the next financial year.
In many ways the governance is linked with the structure and a review of documents relating to the running of the centre e.g. policies and procedures, staff handbook and contracts. An updated version of the Employee Handbook has been issued and contracts revised, staff were shown draft versions before being adopted which also included policies.
Monthly meetings have been altered to every two months with an update between and, if necessary, a meeting called.
Protection of Premises Bill (Martyn’s Law) has not yet been completed but we are fortunate to be members of Action in Rural Sussex who will be advising what our responsibilities will be once finalised.
Two new systems – Xero (accounting software) and Lemon booking – have been introduced which will help reduce the amount of work to be done with Xero being linked to both the booking system and the bank.
The West Sussex Fire and Rescue carried out an inspection which we passed. However, there were some suggestions on how we can improve our level of cover.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The Management Committee is made up of elected members (elected at the Annual General Meeting) and affiliated members (represent affiliated groups who make their choice as to who should represent them). All members are Trustees.
New Trustees are given copies of the latest accounts, Constitution, and an explanation of how the system works. They are also referred to the Charity Commission website where guidelines on the responsibilities of being a trustee are shown. All required documents are signed and eligibility checked and recorded.
A new Treasurer was appointed and a handover period followed.
However, the situation regarding numbers wishing to act as Trustees has not improved. Whilst continued efforts are being made to recruit, it is clear that there is a reluctance for people to come forward due to the amount of responsibility and work involved in the role. It is an area that needs to be addressed.

Running of the Community Centre – day to day
Overall, the Centre Manager plays a key role in managing the smooth running of The Haven and developing the business through marketing and networking and working closely with the Trustees and all staff. Day-to-day it is any issues that arise and would include such areas as maintenance, ensuring hirers are catered for and providing information on the centre. The Office Administrator will aid the Manager and will have their own responsibilities such as invoicing.
Risk management
The Management Committee have identified the major risks to which the charity are exposed and have produced a Risk Assessment policy to put systems into place to mitigate those risks. This policy will be regularly reviewed by the Trustees and updated when necessary.
The Trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF CRAWLEY DOWN COMMUNITY CENTRE ASSOCIATION
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Crawley Down Community Centre Association (the Charity) for the year ended 30 June 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.
Independent examiner's statement
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. I understand that this has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 Charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act 2011.
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a true and 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 financial statements to be reached.

1.13 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.
1.14 Key Judgements and Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.
The main judgement and accounting estimates included in the accounts are:
-
Provisions - Management has made estimates and established provisions in respect of potential liabilities as at the balance sheet date.
-
Depreciation - Management has made assumptions and estimated depreciation rates in respect of showing a true and fair view of the assets at the balance sheet date.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
