## **Structure, governance and management** 

The Langley Community Centre and Sports Trust Trustees present their report and receipts and payments accounts as a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) for the charity’s period ended 30 June 2021. 

The charity is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered with the Charity Commission since 9 August 2018. 

The charity trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the charity. The trustees give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits. The trustees usually meet together on a monthly basis and are responsible for decisions taken in relation to the community facilities and activities provided by the charity, but also seek the views of volunteers. Given the extraordinary year meetings were postponed following the outbreak of Covid19 but Trustees, elected officers and advisors communicated electronically and via telephone over the fiscal, following government guidelines. Our next Annual General meeting is scheduled for the 6th September 2021, when we will be electing Trustees and Officers for the next fiscal . 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The objects of the CIO are to establish and run a village hall and to promote it for the benefit of the inhabitants of the parish of Langley ("area of benefit") without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, nationality, race or political, religious or other opinions the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the conditions of life of the said inhabitants. 

In planning our activities for the year we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our trustee meetings. 

The main activities are as follows: 

1. To run and maintain the village hall 

2. To promote and arrange social activities 

3. To raise funds 

The charities main objective is to run, maintain and promote its facilities for the benefit of the community. Providing a safe and welcoming environment where people can meet socially, improves the quality of life and welfare of villagers in what is a very rural and sometimes isolated village. Our main activities throughout the year have supported these aims. 

We are grateful for the many hours volunteers have given. Without this valuable contribution of time, energy and expertise we would not have been able to achieve so much.

## **Achievements and Performance** 

2020-2021 has been a very challenging year with the pandemic affecting the entire financial year. Income had dried up prior to the start of the year and didn’t resume until May 2021 but on a positive note, the income we did generate has proved to us that the New Hall will be very popular with the local and surrounding communities. 

Whilst the Pandemic has created many challenges, the support we have had from local government in the way of financial grants have bridged the gap in operating income, allowing us to cover our overheads and also complete the fit out of the hall. 

Consequently the management team, supported by ongoing volunteering support have been able to fully complete the New Hall project, giving the community a facility to be proud of. 

Practical completion was achieved on the 24th November 2020, which triggered the start of the defects and liability period which ends on the 23rd November 2021 . 

## **Financial Review** 

At the end of the period the cash at bank in unrestricted funds sat at £11,454 including a small petty cash reserve events float. 

The New Village Hall fund sits at £5,670.82 at the period end. 

The final completion of the hall was completed with the help of loans pledged by committee members to the value of £8,000 that were repaid following receipt of the Covid support grants. 

Total expenditure for the build amounts to £223,722, of which £42.655 was incurred in this year with the outstanding spend on the cleaners sink to be made in the next fiscal. 

The 100 Club account stands at £2,152.93, although end of year prize monies and the final split between the community centre and church has yet to be made. These adjustments will now be made in the next years accounts. 

Operating income, whilst showing positive signs of recovery fell well short of operating expenses to the tune of £3,566 but thankfully this was compensated for by Covid business support grants of £19,456 received during the year. 

## **Fundraising** 

Due to the restrictions imposed by the Pandemic, no fundraising activities took place throughout the year. 

Gifts and Donations (including regular givers & donations) £900 100 Club – to be carried forward to next year HMRC Gift Aid - £282 Grants – Covid Support - £19,456
