**PETERSFIELD COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION** 

## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

Petersfield Community Association has existed as a charity since 25/5/71. 

In 2018 the Charitable Trust (301916) was changed to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and given a new charity number 1179587 

A committee of trustees elect all officers. The day-to-day management is delegated to a part-time manager. 

The named Officers of the Association together with the Centre Manager form a Senior Management Team (SMT), which usually meets when matters arise that cannot wait until a full committee meeting is convened. 

Trustee Management meetings occurred on 21 April, 30 June, 6 October 2023 and 5 January, 22 March 2024. 

Outside representatives were Cllr B Bentley, East Hants District Town Council, Cllr J Deane, Petersfield Town Council until May, then Cllr L Bevan (EHDC) and Cllr Phil Shaw (PTC) 

The AGM was held on 21 July 2023. 

## **Objectives (public benefit)** 

The objectives of the Association, as laid out in the constitution are: 

To promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Petersfield and the neighbourhood without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions, by associating together the said inhabitants 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 object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants. 

To maintain and manage the Community Centre in furtherance of these objects. 

## **Activities** 

The rooms of the community centre are hired out to groups and clubs from Petersfield and the surrounding area, in accordance with the objectives. 

## **Staff and Volunteers** 

The office (open weekday mornings) was staffed by a salaried manager, centre assistant and a total of 4 volunteers during the year. A caretaker and assistant caretakers were also employed for cleaning and some maintenance.

## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 (CONTINUED)** 

## **CHAIR’S REPORT: 2023-2024** 

The PCA continues to be a well-used and respected community facility. Our wide range of groups and activities ensure a good level of income allowing us to keep room hire prices stable and probably the lowest in the area. Hire charges did increase by 5% this year after a 5 year freeze, but they will not increase next year. 

## **BUILDINGS** 

We have an excellent level of building maintenance thanks to our very talented caretaker/handyman Richard. A ‘stitch in time’ approach rather than trouble shooting being our adopted mantra. Our next big project is to have solar panels with batteries installed, hopefully within the next few months. 

## **TRUSTEES** 

Our trustees have benefitted from 4 new members recently although 2 longstanding trustees, Liz Payze and Roger Pendell, have stood down in accordance of our constitution. We also said goodbye to the treasurer, Luc Blais, who held the position for the period Nov 2022 – Dec 2023. His lasting legacy was to safely invest our spare funds in a number of good interest accounts through Flagstone. They continue to achieve a good rate of interest.  We continue to seek appropriate grants and funds towards big projects. Smaller amounts have been successfully gained from lottery fund enabling the purchase of such items as new chairs and a state-of-the-art cleaner. 

## **STAFF & VOLUNTEERS** 

Emma continues to run a tight ship as PCA manager, her excellent people skills and knowledge of everything PCA related makes her invaluable to the Association. She is well supported by a brilliant team of volunteers and paid staff. New to us this year is Jenny and also the Centre Assistant, Rick. Coco has returned to duties from her sabbatical in Japan, so we have let go of the temporary cleaners. Richard has repainted much of the exterior of the building and has performed many money saving jobs around the centre, he is always an asset to the PCA. 

This is my final year as Chair, it has been an absolute honour and delight to have been allowed to serve for such a long time.

## **FUND RAISING** 

The Association has no regular revenue support from any Local Government body. Occasional donations and legacies provide welcome assistance when they occur but cannot be considered a reliable source of income. The Association depends on raising the necessary funding to meet all the running expenses of the centre through hire charges and internal fundraising activities. 

The Community Fair is organised by the Stroke Support Group and run jointly with us. Most money raised goes to them, although table hire and some donations also come to us.

## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 (CONTINUED)** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW –** 

## **Overview** 

The financial results for 2023-24 showed a year of consolidation with both the number of hirers (122) and Bookings (2869) increasing from the previous year and an overall surplus of income (£66,579) over expenditure (£60,712) of £5,867. The total net Assets including reserves increased to £138,221. (This excludes the value of the building and land). 

The Reserves are deposited in interest bearing bonds managed through the Charities Aid Foundation which at current interest rates are giving a return of some 5% p.a. This compares favourably to the less than 1% interest paid while invested with National Savings. 

This level of reserves is maintained in accordance with the Association’s policy of ensuring that it can continue to function serving the people of Petersfield and surrounding areas – our primary charitable function. It also ensures that we can respond to any structural repairs, renovation, maintenance and improvements needed to keep the centre building fully functional and fit for purpose. 

Fundraising activities yielded £2452 in FY23/24. The detail is listed in the preceding page. While this represents only 3.7% of the total revenue, it is a welcome contribution to our funds. We are grateful to those who support these activities and encourage others to participate as every penny raised in this way goes towards keeping the level of room charges lower than might otherwise be necessary. 

The estimated value of the Freehold Property remains at £1,253,385 as an estimate, as explained in the notes to the accounts shown below. This cannot be realised until such time as the PCA decides to cease its work and the property is sold. Even then the rules of the Charity Commission mean that any money realised from the sale would have to pass to any successor organisation with the same charitable aims. 

We maintain our policy of paying our staff at rates in line with local government salary scales and where appropriate at levels set by the National Living Wage. 

As acting treasurer, I am profoundly grateful to the Centre Manager, Emma and the volunteers who man the office for the scrupulous, efficient and professional way they maintain the day-to-day accounts, and to our Examiner for the discharge of his responsibilities. 

In summary, The Petersfield Community Association is in a good financial state and well able to maintain the essential services it provides to our community, now and for the foreseeable future.

Financial Review, Investment Policy and Reserves 

## Reserves Policy 

Unrestricted funds are needed: 

- a. To provide funds which can be designated to specific projects to enable these projects to be undertaken at short notice and 

- b. To cover administration fund-raising and support costs without which the charity could not function. 

The trustees consider it prudent that unrestricted reserves should be sufficient: 

- a. To cover one year’s administration, fund-raising and support costs; 

- b. To provide a pool equal to 10% of the average charitable expenditure over the preceding years from which funds can be designated to specific projects. 

## Statement of trustees’ responsibilities 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales require the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.  In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- Observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP; 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed.  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.

## **PETERSFIELD COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Petersfield Community Association for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report** 

As the trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)b of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1.accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3.the accounts do 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.

In preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 a restatement of comparative items was needed. No restatements were required. 

## (c)Income Recognition 

All income and donations are recognized when received. Tax refunds are recognized when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the charity is legally entitled to the amounts due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognized when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross. 

## **(** d **)** Expenditure Recognition 

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the charity.  All other expenditure is generally recognized when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 (Continued)** 

## (e)Tangible Fixed Assets 

The Freehold Property being The Centre in Love Lane, Petersfield and adjoining land was transferred at nil cost from PCA Land Trustees. The Trustees had revalued The Centre at its insurance value in 2020 and it is now included as an Endowment Fund in the Balance Sheet. The land adjoining The Centre has not been revalued as a value for it has been unobtainable. 

The Trustees consider that as The Centre property and adjoining land has a high residual value there is no need to charge depreciation on it in the year. This position will be reviewed at each year end in future. 

## (f))Pensions 

The Charity has registered with NEST and employees have joined the defined contribution “money purchase” scheme and the charity’s contributions are shown in Note 3.
