## **TRUSTEE ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025**
Bedford House Community Association (the Association) aims to improve the conditions of life for the residents of Buckhurst Hill and the neighbouring areas by advancing education, arts, crafts and fitness and providing facilities for recreation and leisure time occupation. It does so by associating with the residents, the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations and by maintaining a community centre.
In common with many charities the Association is facing rapidly increasing costs. Due to the dedication of the trustees, the commitment of its staff and volunteers, and the support of its students who are enthusiastic for the chance to learn new skills and meet new people, the Association has overcome many obstacles over the years. With people forced to make difficult financial decisions, we are extremely grateful to everyone who has continued to support us. That support has enabled us to continue to provide the educational and leisure-based courses that help our members with their mental and physical health in times of challenge.
The Association provides a valuable and high standard of educational service. It is the only one of its kind in the area and draws students from Buckhurst Hill and beyond. Buckhurst Hill is situated close to the boundary of Essex and London. The majority of students live within a 5-mile radius of the Association. Around 65% of students live within the authority of Epping Forest District Council, and the remaining students come from Essex and Greater London Boroughs.
## **Public Benefit**
When reviewing the Association’s current and proposed activities the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
The Association is a charitable body committed to upholding the Objects of the Association. Fees for classes are kept as low as possible to remain within the reach of everyone in the neighbourhood and, being independent, the Association has been able to continue with many popular leisure and educational classes which have largely been phased out by local authorities. However, our fees do not cover our full costs which are offset by donations, grants and income from space hire to enable the charity to be financially viable.
The Association must utilise its reserves for any deficit and for major items of repair to the Hall, and for replacement of equipment used by the classes. The landlord, Essex County Council, is responsible for maintenance of Bedford House itself and the front part of the Hall. The Association is responsible, under the terms of the lease, for the maintenance of the Hall.
The facilities were used regularly by 10+ outside organisations including Leigh Languages, National Childbirth Trust (NCT), Ichthus After School Club, Sing and Sign (baby and toddler classes), JH Aerobics, DSD Krav Maga Essex, Lily Learning Centre (tuition for primary school age children), Warrior Martial Arts, VRSTY Dance School, Shanti Healthcare Ltd., local AA group.
During term times Bedford House and the Hall were used by over 500 people per week. The policy of the Association is to continue to manage Bedford House and the Hall, to organise educational and leisurebased courses at that location, and to enable the use of those facilities for other activities commensurate with its Objects.

## **TRUSTEE ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025**
Many of our members are seniors and the activities of the Association make a major contribution to reducing the impact of loneliness on elderly people and help with their mental and physical health especially with the impact of the cost-of-living crisis.
The Association also worked with or supported other local groups including Buckhurst Hill Residents Society, Buckhurst Hill Horticultural Society, Epping Forest District Council and Essex County Council **.**
A fuller description of the Association’s activities is provided in the chief executive officer’s report.
## **Governance**
The Association is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Association (CIO) and governed by a constitution that provides for the trustees to be the only voting members.
All prospective trustees are subject to a recruitment and selection process and their appointment must be approved by the board of trustees.
During the year the trustees continued an in-depth assessment of how well the Association is meeting the Charity Governance Code and addressed most of the areas for improvement previously identified. The trustees expect to complete this work in the next year.
Following the assessment the trustees decided to focus on equity, diversity and inclusion and during the year they participated in a dedicated workshop designed by one of the trustees, Allan Mabert, our Lead - Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. The trustees will further consider their conclusions and implementation in the coming year.
The Association depends on both its tutor staff and administrative staff to be able to provide its programme of courses and other activities. The trustees have adopted changes to the Association’s policies and procedures as recommended by its external human resource consultants.
A key part of the Association’s governance is setting the annual budget and monitoring income, expenditure and cash flow. The finance officer has improved the accounting processes that underpin the accounting system to make them more efficient.
## **Risk Management**
The trustees actively review on a regular basis the operational risks faced by the Association. During the previous year the trustees augmented this with an exercise to identify the scenarios in which such risks could crystallise and how the Association could respond to each of these. Estimating the implementation costs of each potential response enabled the trustees to outline optimal plans for dealing with such adverse events and thereby increase the resilience of the Association.
The trustees also used the findings of this exercise to inform the reserves policy and believe that maintaining reserves in accordance with the reserves policy will, as far as the trustees can reasonably determine, ensure sufficient resources in the event of adverse events.
## **Future Developments**
The trustees intend that the charity should continue to develop its programme of education and leisure courses, together with the provision of other facilities and activities for the benefit of the community.

## **BEDFORD HOUSE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION**
## **TRUSTEE ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025**
## **Reserves Policy**
In line with the Charity Commission guidance that a charity should maintain adequate reserves to ensure its ability to deliver its charitable objectives, the Association holds both restricted and unrestricted reserves for various purposes. These reserves are reviewed annually by the trustees.
The unrestricted reserves at the balance sheet date amounted to £70,929 (2024 £70,925) and after deduction of the net book value of fixed assets there were unencumbered current assets of £60,968 (2024 £58,441). All the restricted income was utilised during the year and there were no restricted reserves at the end of the year.
The trustees have determined the minimum unencumbered current assets that will be required in the context and scale of activity and overall commitments is £55,000. The trustees recognise that a further £16,000 may be required in the extreme circumstances of an unplanned shutdown.
Increasing the target level of reserves would be disproportionate and inconsistent with the charitable ambitions of the Association and the trustees will therefore seek alternative ways to mitigate the risk.
£55,000 of the £60,968 unencumbered current assets are therefore effectively ringfenced reserves.
## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities**
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Association's incoming resources and resources expended during that year and of its state of affairs at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
• Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
• Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
• State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
• Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Association will continue in operation.
The trustees are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Association and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Association and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **CEO ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025**
I am pleased to report that the 2024-25 financial year was breakeven, remaining in positive figures again this year. It was a difficult year following the Government’s unexpected new regulations and increased NI contributions, which put an additional financial burden on organisations. We had budgeted a surplus of approximately £10,000 but the actual surplus was £4.
The result is better than it might have been in a difficult year for all charities. This has only been possible thanks to the hard work, dedication and overtime worked by the administration team to generate the additional income necessary to meet the 30% funding gap between course fee income and the cost of running BHCA. I would like to thank the staff for their unwavering support and dedication as without them we would not be able to generate adequate funds to stay open.
Our 22 tutors are equally important to BHCA and the community. They are accomplished artists, or practitioners, in their own right, have a love of teaching, and understand how to adapt their teaching approach to each cohort of student members, meeting student member needs and incorporating those with disabilities and special needs into mainstream classes. We are grateful for and proud of our tutors.
We are also grateful to our members and training partners for their support during the year. We are here for them and the wider community, and they help BHCA to exist.
BHCA continues to make an essential contribution to keeping the community engaged, active and connected, helping to maintain physical and mental wellbeing.
BHCA is a charity with a clear focus – to improve the quality of life through lifelong learning in a supportive learning environment. BHCA is a vibrant and creative centre that offers 30 courses every week in arts and crafts, health and fitness, leisure activities. We celebrate our members’ work in our Summer Show and offer opportunities to local craftsmen/women, hobby crafters and artists to sell wares at our Winter Craft Fair. Following the successful Wellbeing Festival we launched in 2024 we organised another Welbeing Festival in February 2025 with many free-to-attend sessions for the community.
Over 500 people attend our site every week with approximately 300 of these being our members attending courses for 35 or more weeks of the year. We also run a summer school in July and August. BHCA is only fully closed for 2 weeks around Christmas and New Year.
Members pay only 70% of the real cost of courses, and we aim to always have some courses that are donation based or free to attend. Bedford House generates the 30% balance in other ways such as income from fundraising.
Our demographics data tells us that our members are adults, mainly aged 55 and over.
We support small local service providers with space to deliver their own educational services to all age ranges. We also support local families with spaces for children’s parties or family occasions.
Many of our members come on the recommendation of friends and family. There is no better advertisement than ‘word of mouth’. Others hear about us from their GP, Social Prescribers, or local organisations such as Dementia friendly groups, Alzheimers, Healthwatch, Epping Forest community support. We keep in regular contact with our own Members and Friends through our weekly e- Newsletters.

## **BEDFORD HOUSE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION**
## **CEO ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025**
Our long opening hours provide learning opportunities to those with work, carer or family commitments. We are open 9am to 9:00/9:30pm Monday to Friday, and often at the weekend too.
BHCA offers over 110 hours of community support every week.
BHCA is an SME (small to medium sized enterprise) local employer with a headcount of 30 employees. However, all staff work part time and the total organisational contractual work hours including tutor hours add up to less than 5 FTEs (Full Time Equivalents).
Staff turnover is very low. The organisational culture is friendly and healthy. Once staff start working at BHCA they generally tend to stay for many years, and we have several staff members who have been here over 25 years. We also attract an outstanding quality of new tutors and administration staff when we recruit. BHCA offers staff excellent working conditions with good holiday provision, part-time working, term-time working, an Employee Assistance Programme, and an ambition for the organisation to be working to ‘best practice’ standards. We demonstrate our commitment to achieve best practice through engaging Citation an external company to periodically audit and provide ongoing support to BHCA in the areas of Human Resources (HR) and Health & Safety (H&S) Management. We also work well with our Landlord’s building maintenance agents Mitie who ensure compliance and upkeep of the premises other than the hall.
BHCA is accredited as an Essex Family Friendly Employer. We have signed up to the Mental Health at Work Commitment and are a member of the Epping Forest Dementia Friendly Group.
BHCA is committed to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), and demonstrates that in various ways. EDI is a continuing journey where improvements can always be made. We have an ‘Access and Inclusivity Statement’ to show our commitment to EDI and a trustee is leading in this area. The statement is on our website.
BHCA is age positive. The average age of administration employees is 60.4 years old in 2024-25 within the age range of 26 to 78.
BHCA is gender positive. The gender balance of both the Board of Trustees and the Administration Office is 50:50.
BHCA continues to successfully include stakeholders with disabilities such as sight impairments, mild to moderate dementia, neurodiversity, and neurological conditions. We have reviewed the website for increased accessibility, for instance for people using voice readers.
During 2024-25 we raised money to strengthen the digital management of membership data through a CRM IT system which we will be rolling out in 2025-26. We are planning on raising funds over the next few years to make BHCA more mobility friendly.
BHCA continues to serve the community in many different ways, and I am looking forward to the year ahead.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025**
I report on the accounts of Bedford House Community Association for the year ended 31 August 2025 which are set out on pages 8 to 14.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The Charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (The Act) but that an independent examination is needed. The charities gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of Association of Accounting Technicians.
It is my responsibility to:
- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s Statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 considerations of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In the course of my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I 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.

The charity was incorporated on the 7th June 2018.
## **Tangible fixed assets for use by the Association and depreciation**

## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund.
