COMMUNITY COLLECTIVE – SE9

Annual Report as at 31[st] March 2025

The last 12 months for Community Collective - SE9, formerly StEP, have been dormant.

In September 2024, after spurious and unfounded statements by certain St Edwards Church PCC Trustees, a Motion to dissolve the Charity was proposed. Subsequently this Motion was defeated and was followed by all the Church/PCC Trustee resignations. This in turn brought about an agreed Change of Name to Community Collective - SE9 (CC-SE9), and the recruitment of a new independent Trustee Board. Immediately thereafter St Edwards Church gave Notice to the Charity cancelling its Licence to operate in the Church Hall, this meaning projects and activities were unable to continue. Thus operation at the Church Hall address, after failed attempts to obtain terms for a satisfactory new Licence, eventually became untenable and unethical for the continued operation of much needed and valuable community projects.

The Charities finances were sound with long term approved funding in place and with potential new activities and projects being considered.

Since then the Board has reduced in size and the Charity has laid largely dormant

Our Charity Commission registration was duly changed accordingly and the Charity is still live but has, since January 2024, been laying fallow which obviously means it is no longer actively delivering its projects.

Partnerships with other local organisations are however being maintained.

S Turner, Chair of Trustees.

L J Bell Treasurer.

COMMUNITY COLLECTIVE – SE9

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES ON THE PREPARATION OF THE STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF COMMUNITY COLLECTIVE – SE9 FOR THE PERIOD to 31st MARCH 2025

In order to assist you to fulfill your duties under the Charities Act 2011, we have prepared for your approval the financial statements of Community Collective – SE9 for the period to 31st March 2025, set out on pages 7 to 11 from the charity's accounting records and from supporting information and explanations available.

It is the Trustees duty to ensure that Community Collective – SE9 has kept adequate accounting records and to prepare statutory financial statements that give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and surplus/deficit of Community Collective – SE9. Trustees consider that Community Collective – SE9 is exempt from the statutory audit requirement for the period and is only required to obtain an independent examiner's report.

Independent Examiners Statement

It is my responsibility to:

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the organization and a comparison of the accounts presented within those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an

audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

I have not been instructed to carry out an audit or a review of the financial statements of Community Collective – SE9. For this reason, I have not verified the accuracy or completeness of the accounting records or information and explanations you have given to me and I do not, therefore, express any opinion on the statutory financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD TO 31ST MARCH 2025

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Community Collective – SE9 is an unincorporated charity.

1.1 Accounting convention

These accounts have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" ("FRS 102"), "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102, the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements 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 the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.

1.4 Incoming resources None

1.5 Resources expended Expenditure is included on an accruals basis.

1.6 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other shortterm liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
