## **Bilborough Community Association**
## **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit**
The Community Centre is available for individuals and groups to hire out and also businesses to hire out for groups or meetings. We have 2 generous spaces and they are competitively priced.
This benefits the public by making the facilities available for all and keeping the cost down as much as possible.
## **Public benefit statement**
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, 'Charities and Public Benefit'.
## **Summary of the main achievements during the period**
We were restricted a lot during this period due to Covid and unfortunately, we were unable to hire the hall out for children’s parties. However, we did welcome back our regular groups which included the children’s dance class and Karate.
## **Financial review**
We were very happy to have come through such a difficult period. We did receive help from grants from Nottingham City Council and Arnold Clark.
**The charity’s policy on reserves**
We have reserves to make sure we are able to pay the bills, including the cleaner’s wages, and keep the centre running. We always keep a minimum of £12,000 which is kept in a separate account.
## **Financial risks**
The increasing costs of gas and electricity.

## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Bilborough Community Association for the year ended 31 March 2022**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Bilborough Community Association (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). I report in respect of my examination of the charity’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 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 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.
