STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
Norton Glebe Residents Association is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), governed by a model Foundation Constitution dated 22[nd] June 2018.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
New trustees may be recruited to the Board at any time by the existing trustees. In selecting individuals for appointment as trustees, the existing trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO. The Trustees may, by and from their number and from time to time, elect such officers (chair, secretary and treasurer) as they see fit.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims
The objects of the CIO are to further or benefit the residents of Glebe Estate, Stockton-on-Tees, and the neighbourhood, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions, by associating together the said residents and the local 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 objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents. In furtherance of these objects, but not otherwise, the trustees shall have power to establish or secure the establishment of a community centre and to maintain or manage or co-operate with any statutory authority in the maintenance and management of such centre for activities promoted by the charity in furtherance of its objects.
Page 1
The main purpose of the charity is the operation of Norton Glebe Community Centre to provide social, educational and recreational activities for the benefit of the local community, eg Play Groups, Yoga, Pilates, Bingo, Over 60’s social activities, etc.
In exercising their powers and duties, the trustees have had due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission.
Volunteers play an important role as regards the operation of the centre and ensuring that activities are carried out legally and safely.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
The main focus of the charity’s activities over the past year centred around securing the long-term sustainability of the Community Centre post pandemic.
The Charity’s policy of reinvesting surpluses into building improvements to attract new groups, services and activities continued. Investments in modernising the toilets were agreed with work scheduled to start in the summer of 2022.
The Charity would like to thank the local authority who donated £12,667 to the Charity as part of a Covid Support Grant, this enabled the Centre to continue operating through a very challenging period.
Despite the pandemic, Centre usage returned to normal in August when all restrictions were lifted, and usage continued to increase thereafter. Children parties continue to be popular at weekends complimenting the variety of activities which are popular with older residents and the Charity continues to meet its charitable aims of providing space for social, education, and recreational activities.
A continued slow but sustainable growth in centre usage can be attributed to a decision in 2018 to commission business support services from Onsite Building Trust; this service ensures all customer enquiries are handled by professional support staff, room booking diaries are managed and kept up-to-date, customers invoices ae issued in a timely manner and quarterly financial reports are presented at Trustees meetings to monitor performance against business plan targets.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The results for the year and financial position at the period end are shown in the annexed financial statements.
At 31 March 2022, the unrestricted reserves were £39,756 (31 March 2021: £27,831)
The trustees consider the overall financial position and state of affairs of the charity at the balance sheet date to be satisfactory and remain optimistic as regards the future.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Charity information
The charity (registered number 1178907) is a public benefit entity, established in the UK on 22[nd] June 2018 as a charitable unincorporated organisation. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operation and principal activity is the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation.
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the 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 issued in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102). The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair’ view. This departure has involved following the 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 issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1[st] April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Income
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legal entitled to the income, after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
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.
Tangible fixed assets
In general, tangible fixed assets are only capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £500. They are capitalised at cost or at a reasonable value on receipt.
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 25% on reducing balance
