REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for the period ended 31[st] December 2020
The trustees present their report and accounts for the period ended 31st December 2020. The trustees have opted, under section 133 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Charities Act’), to prepare receipts and payments accounts
Objectives and Aims
The objects of the CIO are:
- to further such charitable purposes for the benefit of people living in Combe Martin, Devon and the surrounding area, as are exclusively charitable according to the laws of England and Wales, as the trustees may from time to time determine, by making grants to other charities and organisations in furtherance of exclusively charitable purposes.
Public benefit
The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and consider that the activities of the charity meet its charitable objectives and provide a benefit to the public.
Achievement and Performance
Charitable activities
Combe Martin Community Fund was established in May 2020, in the middle of the Covid 19 pandemic. Due to the age and vulnerability of most of the charity’s volunteers, the community charity shop has had to remain closed throughout most of the year. However, the Trustees have used the time to plan ahead for the future. A risk assessment and action plan was carried out to ensure that everything is now in place for donations to be received safely, and for the shop to reopen, as soon as the current restrictions are lifted. Local government funding has been secured to ensure that the charity can survive the pandemic restrictions on our usual activity and remain viable throughout 2021.
Financial review
The Charity had a surplus of £1,105 for the period ended 31[st] December 2020. Income received was £16,780 and expenditure of £15,675.
Unrestricted funds at the year-end were £1,105.
The charity received a local government Covid grant of £10,000 during the year.
Availability and adequacy of assets of each of the funds
The board of trustees is satisfied that the charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund.
Reserves policy
The trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs. This is based on the charity's size and the level of financial commitments held. The trustees aim to ensure the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.
Risk assessment
The Trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks

Responsibilities and basis of report

the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.
