Report of the Trustees
for the Period 24 September 2020 to 1 December 2021
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the period 24 September 2020 to 1 December 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
INCORPORATION
The charitable company was incorporated on 24 September 2020.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The Arts and Crafts Community Centre aims are to provide a wide range of arts and crafts opportunities for the local community to experience. At the core is the promotion of health and wellbeing benefits borne out of participating in these activities and the associated social interaction intrinsic to sharing skills and ideas.
Significant activities
In the first accounting year Sept '20 to Dec '21 we have been hampered by restrictions due to the pandemic which has affected both securing a building for our sole use and arranging activities for the benefit of the community.
In September '21 we facilitated a venue in Ewyas Harold for the exhibition of artists work to encourage the community to visit and socially interact.
In the meantime we have been able to raise funds for the Centre from the community through accepting items for us to sell. This activity has kept the Charity in the minds of the community and also engaged them in helping us to provide for our services to them when a space is secured and there are no restrictions on our movements, due to the pandemic.
Public benefit
The Trustees have full regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. 20-21 has proved difficult to achieve the levels we aim for.
Social investments
We have not yet been able to provide social, mental health and wellbeing support through arts and crafts due to the pandemic and not having a permanent venue.
We have been explaining through local media that this is what we will be providing, once there are no restrictions.
Grantmaking
We remain a charity that does not give grants per se.
Volunteers
Currently the Charity is still being run by the Trustees as we have not been able to develop the activities due to the pandemic and negotiating the exclusive use of a building.
Volunteers from the community have been very evident in terms of providing source material for selling to raise funds for the Charity so that we have a solid footing as soon as a lease is signed. The volunteers are waiting to become more involved with the day to day running of the centre and its activities.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Due to the pandemic and lack of a permanent venue we have not undertaken the full breadth of our activities.
The event of providing a venue for arts and crafts people to show their skills and have items available for sale was extremely important for both the artists and the community. People ventured out and met up in a convivial setting. For some this was really the first time they had met other socially.
The event was very beneficial to everyone who attended over the 10 days.
Achievements
This year our achievements were low, scuppered by the pandemic and not realising a lease on a permanent premises.
Performance
Our fundraising level was similar to expectations. Most of the funds raised were through community donation of goods which were then sold for the charity. We also received a grant for the refurbishment of an office space in the building we are negotiating to occupy to provide a confidential space for out sourced specialists to receive patients for mental health and wellbeing issues.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The Arts and Crafts Community Centre holds no reserves. As a new Charity we are fund raising to deliver a service into the community. Currently we do not have the funds to set aside reserves.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Currently as a very new Charity, the existing Trustees look to individuals within the community whose skills will be of benefit to the Charity.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Arts and Crafts Community Centre
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Arts and Crafts Community Centre ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the period 24 September 2020 to 1 December 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
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.
