# **Guinean Community of Birmingham and the West Midlands (GCBWM)** 

# **Trustees’ Annual Report** 

**From: Period start date:** 01/04/2020 **To Period end date:** 31/03/2021 

**Charity registration number:** 1179022 

The Trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021. 

Our charity has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, we were not able to do many support activities as we usually do due to regular lockdowns during the financial year. We were also financially hit by the pandemic as many of our donors lost their job and were not able to donate to the charity, most of our activities were moved online so managed to gather the community and deliver some support activities online. 

## **Trustees** 

The following Trustees held office during the whole of the period: Abdulai Bah Amadou Bah Safaiyou Barry Fatoumata Binta Diallo 

## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 

Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year. Under that law, the Trustees have elected to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under Charity law the Trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the profit or loss of the Charity for that period. In preparing these accounts, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that 



The accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The objectives of the GCBWM are still the same, which is Promoting social inclusion for the public benefit. This was achieved by assisting people from being socially excluded within the community, assisting their educational needs and the provision of facilities for recreational and leisure activities. 

We have a building where socially/economically disadvantaged people are meeting for regular cultural and recreational activities. We also organized BBQ’s and Day Trips for the community to help economically disadvantaged people in gaining confidence and self esteem 

The trustees can confirm that the charity has fully complied with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefits. All our activities have been carried out to benefit the public 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

The charity has rented a building to carry out the main activities. The building is used for the benefit of the whole community. Unfortunately the building was closed most of the times during the year due to the lockdowns imposed by the government. 

The provision of building is a major achievement as we organize various social and cultural activities during the year. These activities have helped people to gain confidence, they made friends within the community which helped eradicate their social issues. We have also provided financial support for bereavements and funeral costs. 

## **Financial Review** 

The charity financial processes and systems have been reviewed, and we believe that we have robust controls in place to make sure that the financial statements are true and fair. We have a very good bank balance to operate as a going concern. We make sure that we have bank reserves of more than £50k at the end of each financial year. There are no going concern uncertainties at the end of the financial year in our view 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The charity and its property are managed and administered by trustees in accordance with the constitution. There have been no resignations or additions to the trustee board during the financial year.

## **Note 2                           Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME** 

## **Recognition of income** 

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: 

 the charity becomes entitled to the resources; ·       it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and  the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

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

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition **Grants and donations** criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). 

In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). **Legacies** Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. 

**Government grants** The charity has not received government grants in the reporting period Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. **Tax reclaims on** Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is **donations and gifts** treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. **Contractual income and** This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or **performance related** services or met the performance related conditions. **grants** Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be **Donated goods** exchanged) unless impractical to do so. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. 

Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet.  On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from  sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. 

Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. 

Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable.

**Independent examiner's report on the accounts** 

## **Section A                        Independent Examiner’s Report** 

> **Report to the trustees/ Guinean Community of Birmingham and the West Midlands members of On accounts for the year** 31[st] March 2021 **Reg** 1179022 **ended** I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31st March 2021 **Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’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** I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a part qualified **examiner's statement** member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) 

I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination 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 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 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.
