REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2021
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Organisation
St Patrick’s Hall Organisation Consett is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation which has operated since April 2019.
The charity was registered in October 2018 and took over operations formally on 1[st] April 2019.
Objectives
To provide a substantial community facility and services for the benefit of the people of Consett and its surrounding area without distinction of sex, 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 and services in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure-time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for said inhabitants.
Activities
As the Covid restrictions have relaxed many of our clients have returned to the hall during the course of the year and it is expected that we will continue to grow during 2022/23. In addition to the hire of the hall to additional user groups the Trustees are continuing to renew such activities as luncheon clubs, tuition in understanding and using computers and other activities beneficial to our parish area.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The organisation’s reserves fell dramatically during lockdown as the accounts will show. The Reserves Policy set in 2018 stated that the organisation would aim to have 3 months reserves. The purpose of such reserves is to ensure that work continues in a managed way should the income reduce significantly for any reason, The effect of Covid was to erode our reserves and as the charity moves toward its previous income it is intended that by the end of this financial year they will be increased the desired amount.
Statement of Committee Responsibilities
Charity law require the Committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which show the assets and liabilities and consolidate all the activities of the organisation. In preparing those financial statements we are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
-
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 organisation will continue in business. The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the
3
organisation. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the organisation and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The organisation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation governed by its constitution, managed by a board of Trustees appointed in accordance with the constitution.
Organisational structure
All strategic and tactical decisions are made by the Trustees in committee who meet monthly to oversee the affairs of the CIO. Given the loss of management staff the members of the committee have taken on individual operational responsibilities
Risk management
During 2021/22 the major risks to which the charity is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, were and will continue to be reviewed.
Expenditure continues to be monitored. Robust financial controls are in place. Health & Safety assessments and Fire Risk assessments have been conducted and such corrective measures as were needed have been taken.
All other policies required under various legislation or best practice e.g. Equal Opportunities, Complaints etc. are in place
