## **Bakersfield & Neighbourhood Community Association**
## **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit**
We provide affordable room space and facilities to promote education, fitness and social interaction. The public can engage in activities like Zumba, Slimming World classes, ESOL and cake baking classes. They can also benefit from the use of the nursery and access help and support from the groups that use the centre, such as NHS services.
## **Public benefit statement**
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, 'Charities and Public Benefit'.
## **Summary of the main achievements during the period**
We have continued to offer affordable room hire to the local community and neighbourhood. This has given local people the opportunity to engage with other people from the community whilst taking part in classes and activities that are available.
## **The charity’s policy on reserves**
We do not have a written policy on reserves but we are constantly reviewing our finances.
## **Risk analysis**
The increase in outgoings and a reduction in the Area Based Grant is a worry. We would like to thank Nottingham City Council for their continued support.

## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Bakersfield & Neighbourhood Community Association for the year ended 31 March 2022**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Bakersfield & Neighbourhood Community Association (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of 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 all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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.
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.
