Structure, governance and management

The Henhayes Centre was registered as a charitable incorporated organisation and is governed by its document dated 22 April 2021. It was previously registered as a charity with the registered charity number of 269179. The assets and surplus were transferred to the CIO at 22 April 2021.

Reference and administrative details including the principle office address and details of trustees who served the charity during the period and up to the date of signing are shown above.

Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Governing document. Formal trustee training is provided on an ad hoc basis as required. All strategic decisions are taken by the trustees, but day-today operating decisions relating to ‘The Henhayes Centre’ are delegated to staff.

The Trustees continue to review the major risks to which the charity is exposed, covering all identified, relevant areas including financial risk and risks associated with personnel. Risks have been identified, assessed and safeguards have been put in place to eliminate or mitigate such risks as far as is reasonably possible.

In the management of the Charity and the preparation of these accounts the Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Governance Code.

Objectives and activities

The main charitable objectives of the CIO are to provide a building and facilities to elderly and disabled people. This includes the provision of advocacy, advice and information. The building is also available to the wider community for hire.

The CIO provides a range of regular activities for both members and non-members. In carrying out these objectives the Trustees have paid due regard to guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.

Volunteers

The charity uses volunteers where necessary to minimise costs.

Achievements and performance

Throughout 2023/2024 attendance of the Centre has increased both in the café area and for most of our Core Activities. We have continued with our fundraising efforts especially our Big Breakfasts and Big Roast Lunches, the latter of which have grown and grown, and at the one we held in October 2023 we served 98 roast lunches in 2.5hrs. This is a huge achievement for the Centre, and we are so very thankful to everyone who worked hard and volunteered, I know Steph is extremely proud of our team for making them such a success.

Fundraising was further aided by Wizard Events Somerset, who initially hired the Centre from us in April 2023 for a Holistic Fayre, booking three more for throughout the year. Following their event in July 2023, and seeing everything we do here to help people, they made a donation to the Centre, and then decided going forward they would donate all of their stall holder fees to us, this was around £375.00 per fayre. We are extremely grateful to them for their support through 2023/2024.

Crewkerne Running Club also gave us a large donation of £750.00 to help towards the running of the memory groups, this was a lovely surprise and something for which we are so thankful.

Throughout the financial year the Centre continued to be busy with private hire for special events and we were the venue choice of a number of big birthdays and wedding receptions, most of which we catered for. Our food is always extremely well received, and people always seem very pleased with the services we offer.

Live at Lunch really grew this year and now regularly has between 25 – 30 people attending but it has reached over 35 quite a few times, in November 2023 we held our busiest to date – over 50 people attended with 49 of them eating!

December 2023 was our busiest Christmas yet with 237 Christmas lunches served over Christmas Lunch Week, considering only 5 years ago 100 Christmas lunches was believed to be busy this is an outstanding achievement with the quality and standard of the Christmas meals being very high, with lots of compliments about how hot they were. Due to being closed for the Christmas break, with many hires also taking a break, December is never a financially profitable month, however the joy we bring to so many people and the fun and laughter that is seen throughout the whole of the Centre during the festive period means all the hard work is worth it and our charitable objective is being fulfilled.

Another wonderful thing that happened was that we were shortlisted for the Somerset Business Awards Charity of the year, we made it to the judging stages and were one of 6 Somerset Charities shortlisted. Although we did not make it to the finals we are immensely proud to have made it as far as we did and hope to make it even further next year.

2024 started with us feeling positive and looking to the future of the Centre, we expected a lull as so often happens in January, but it never really came, and the Centre continued to feel busy and full of people. This then continued throughout the Spring.

Financial review

On the whole 2023/2024 was a wonderful year full of growth. We are over-joyed with this and are so grateful for how hard everyone at The Henhayes Centre has worked to accomplish this. Expenditure was high with it costing over £115,000.00 to run the Centre but due to our increased footfall and attendance, our regular hire income, increased fundraising and donations, and the grants secured by Steph this has not been a problem.

Plans for the future

Due to the success of the two Memory Groups we planned to launch a new Dementia Tai Chi and Cream tea in the summer of 2024, which we did. This group is different from the existing memory groups as it is an activity for those with Dementia to enjoy with their loved ones and carers and a chance for them to chat with people in a similar situation.

We are also looking into the possibility of the Centre becoming a licensed wedding venue so we can offer the full package including the ceremony at a very affordable price whilst raising much needed income for the Centre. Steph is in the process of completing the wedding brochure, a prototype of which is already finished, it just needs proof reading and printing, something that we hope to have achieved by the new year.

We hope that our success, positivity and all the wonderful services we offer continue in 2024 and into 2025, a year which will see us celebrate our 50th anniversary. We are planning to have a big celebration in July 2025, with an open day for all our members and possibly a fundraising evening gala. We will start the planning of this early next year and will be promoting it from the spring onward.

As a Board of Trustees, we are very grateful for all the hard work put in by our Manager Steph and our team of staff and would once again like to state how very proud we all are of The Henhayes Centre and all it has achieved over the last year.

Income Reserves

The committee’s policy on income reserves is to maintain sufficient reserves for the charity to continue to meet its ongoing commitments and to provide sufficient funds to develop those services. At 30 April 2024 the total reserves held were £797,571 of which £42,510 are free reserves.

Risk

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to minimise those risks.

Investment Policy

Currently the charity is holding surplus funds in a bank account to be used for future activities and running of the centre. The Trustees will review the balance held on a regular basis.

Charity Accounts

This report and the charity's accounts have been prepared in line with the charity's governing document, Charities Act 2011 and the FRS 102 SORP.

The Henhayes Centre

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 30 April 2024

1. General information

The charity is a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is The Henhayes Centre, South Street Car Park, Crewkerne, Somerset, TA18 8DA.

2. Statement of compliance

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015. 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 Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity’s purposes.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Judgements and key sources of uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

8

The Henhayes Centre

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 30 April 2024

Resources expended

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs 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.

Expenditure is inclusive of VAT as the charity is not registered for VAT.

Operating leases

Lease payments are recognised as an expense as they fall due.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Equipment - 25% reducing balance Freehold property - 0%

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Stocks

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.

Government Grants

Government grant income is recognised on a receivable basis. Where a restriction is placed on the use of the grant, the amount of the grant is included in restricted funds. Grants that are receivable for purposes of giving immediate financial support to entity with no future related costs

The Henhayes Centre

Notes to the Financial Statements

are recognised in income in the period in which it became receivable. Unrestricted grants that cover a specified period are accounted for within accruals and deferred income where appropriate.

Pension costs

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees under auto enrolment. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. Pension costs are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred, are included within salary costs, and represent contributions payable by the company.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted Funds

General accumulated unrestricted funds represent the funds of the charity that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and may be applied in achieving any of the objectives of the charity as decided by the trustees.

Designated Funds

Funds designated for a particular purpose by the charity are also unrestricted but shown as a separate fund category. Amounts are transferred to a designated fund when the restriction placed upon the incoming resource has been realised but the trustees wish to be able to separately identify these assets.

Restricted Funds

These relate to incoming resources which have been received subject to specific conditions imposed by the donor and binding on the Trustees and may only be applied in accordance with the restrictions placed on the donation. Upon realisation of the aims of the restricted funds, assets of such funds are transferred to unrestricted or designated funds as appropriate
