THE CRANFIELD COMMUNITY CENTRE CHARITY TRUSTEES REPORT YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

The Trustees present their Annual Report together with the Independently examined accounts for the year ended 31[st] March 2022.

Governing Document

The Charity was registered on 30[th] March 2020 and is governed by a Constitution of a Charitable Organisation adopted on 18[th] March 2020.

Objects of the Charity

• A.To further or benefit the residents of Cranfield and the neighbourhood, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by associating together the said residents 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 the objective of improving the quality of life for the residents.

• B.To establish or secure the establishment of a community centre and to maintain or manage or co-operate with any statutory authority in the maintenance and management of such a centre for activities promoted by the association in furtherance of the above objects.

Activities

Following the Covid-19 Pandemic and the lockdowns that had occurred as a result, the Trustees were pleased to welcome their first hirers at the end of May 2021. Initial hirings were restricted in line with Covid regulations and to allow time for cleaning and fogging of the building but have gradually increased over the year.

Since opening the hall has hosted parties, tabletop sales, meetings, exercise classes and Parish Council meetings and bookings continue to increase.

The Trustees have continued to purchase the necessary fixtures and fittings to allow the building to operate and have invested in additional security cameras.

The playing fields have yet to be adopted, due to ongoing drainage works, therefore the changing areas have remained closed.

Financial Review

The Community Centre income totalled £36,840 including additional Covid-19 Grants of £18,065 from Central Bedfordshire Council, a S106 Grant of £1360 also from C.B.C for reception furniture purchased later in 2022 and £17,415 in booking fees. Total expenditure was £41,638 including one-off costs of fixtures and fittings £3,715 and CCTV cameras £5,011. The largest cost was payroll, £9,427.

Reserves

The Community Centre Charity considers that the level of reserves is currently sufficient to allow the Community Centre to open successfully in 2022-23.

Public Benefit

The Trustees are aware of the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit and consider they the charitable objects fall well within the public benefit guidelines.

Independent examiner’s report to the Trustees of The Cranfield Community Centre Charity

I report to the trustees on my examination of the Cranfield Community Centre Charity for the year ended 31 March 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Trust’s accounts carried out under s.145 of the 2011 ACT and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under s.145(5)(b) of the 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 Trust 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.
