Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 July 2025

FINANCIAL REVIEW Treasurer's Report

We continued to receive particularly strong revenue from both our regular and one-off hall hires, which helped us maintain a healthy bank balance throughout the year.

Hall hire rates were increased from 1st March 2025, marking the first increase since the charity’s incorporation in 2018. This adjustment was necessary to offset the rising costs of utilities and general running expenses.

Towards the end of the budget year, we invested in a new website and online payment system, which has already begun to deliver positive results in the current budget year through improved accessibility and efficiency.

Electricity costs were higher than anticipated due to previous year’s estimated bills, culminating in a £7,000 payment in January 2025. Additionally, as previously reported, historic unpaid water rates were written off, and we are now making regular monthly payments to manage ongoing water costs responsibly.

Wage expenditure was also higher than expected due to Statutory Maternity Pay for our Cleaner, alongside the cost of employing an additional cleaner to cover the absence. We expect to receive approximately £3,000 in the current financial year to help offset some of these additional costs from H M Revenue and Customs,

Finally, we invested in a more secure entry system for the hall. Previously, there was no effective control over access, but this new system now ensures proper management and security for all hall users.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 July 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance

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 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Basis of preparation

The Canford Heath Residents and Community Association meet 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.

Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement

The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.

Going concern

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

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore, it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Income

Recognition of income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.

Offsetting

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS-102 SORP or FRS 102.

Grants and Donations

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met.

Support Costs

The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.

Volunteer help

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees' annual report.

Income from interest, royalties and dividends

This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable, and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.

Income from membership subscriptions

Membership subscriptions which give a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities.

Investment gains and losses

This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Expenditure

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 a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Governance costs

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Government costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, e.g. allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff by time spent and other costs by their usage.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

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

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
