RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The Charity's trustees a￿ responsible for the preparation Df the accounts. The
charity's trustees consider that an examination is required under section 145(1) of
the Charities Act 2011, and that section 144(1) (audit) of the Charities Act 2011 does
not apply lo the Charity.
It is my responsibility to
examine the accounts (under section 43 of the Act, as amended),
to follow the procedures laicl down in the General Directions given by the
Charity Commission (under section 43171(bl of the Act, as amended), and
to slate whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
My examln8lion was carried out in aGwrdance with the Charity Commission's
directions. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the
charity and 8 comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also
includes consideration of any unusual Items or disclosures in the accounts and
seeking explanations from the trustees Con￿mIng any such mallers. The
procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an
audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
In the Gourse of my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me
reasonable cause lo believe that in, any material respect, the trustees have not met
the requirements to ensure that..
proper accounting records are kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities
Act 2011 and
accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply wlth
the accounting requirements of the Act,. or to which, in my opinion, attention should
be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Aims and objective's
The Tadley & District Community Association (also known as TDCA) was created
in 1957 with the purpose of improving the lives of the residents of TADLEY and the
surrounding districts of Baughurst, the Pamber's, Aldermaston and SilGhester.
The Association aims to bring together local authorities, Socal residents and
voluntary groups with the purpose of improving educational and recreational
f acilities for those living in the district.
Most of those activities centre around the hiring of the community centre cfhe Link)
and the youth centre trhe Point) and includes a range of activities promoted by the
comrnunity association and by third-parties in the form of hirings, which include
toddler groups, activities for young people, Gommunity cinema, coffee morning,
Silver Surfer IT training by the Community Association, other groups such as the
University of the Third Age hiring of the facilities to provide opportunities for retired
residents. Blood Donor service, Eye Screening, Early Years Checks and Youth
Offending Sen/iGe. There are also a nurnber of independent fitness and hobby
instructors providing Yoga, Pilates, Martial Arts and Keep Fit classes. We have an
Under 5's pre-school, a Home Schooling group and during the week the
Association runs evening activities for the youth of the area.
The Associalion carries out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable
aims. The trustees consider these activities as summarised in this document,
provides benefit both of those who use our centre and to the wider community of
Tadley and district.
Volunteers are an important resource that allow us to deliver a first class service in
the running of both The Link and The Point. Without whom, to employ the
equivalent number of individuals would be a financial burden on the charity. All
our volunteers give their time freely.
Achievements and performance
The Two buildings are available to hire to the general public to run their own
activities or events.
The Association also run activities and events in these
buildings. The Association runs a year round programme of 'not for profit, Coach
Trips to places of interest and West End Shows.
A comprehensive program of events takes place typically from 9 am until 10 pm
Monday through to Friday.

Chairman's Report.
Welcome to 66th Annual General Meeting.
I recently had the opportunity to go through the minutes of past Trustee and
Annual General meetings of this Association. Still in our possession, we have
records of the earliest gatherings of local residents, many of whom moved to this
area to facilitate the growth of AWRE and sought a facility that would help to build
this new community. Blowing the dust of these records gave an insight into the
challenges faced by these individuals. Indeed many of these challenggs repeated
over and over through the ensuing decades, same or sirllilar problems just different
faces tasked with resolving them. Some of those individuals are remembered with
their names on the doors of rooms in this building. The most recent being the
computer suite being named after the late Terry Faulkner. Some other names have
not received the same recognition and to put that right in the Reception Area we
have created a roll of honour that record those names of past chairs of this
AssoGiatioii to recognises their contribution. The annual meeting is an opportunity
for me to thank our current staff and volunteers for their dedication and support
during the past twelve months, but this year I want to thank all our past Chairs and
Trustees for their previous endeavours that have allowed us today to build on their
legacies.

So, our past twelve months have been pretty good. Perhaps the most unexpected
and pleasing moment was Tadley residents being lucky enough to scoop the
Millionaire Street, Postcode Lottery and in turn a few local charities within that
same postcode area being granted generous cash handouts, in our case the sum
of £5D,000.
Along with a grant from Basingstok8 & Deane Borough Council and with some of
the Postcode money we have been able to replace the majority of the 1rnterna￿ fire
doors and bring them up-to the appropriate Fire Safety Standards required for this
type ot building. There are a few doors still to be done, not so much for safety
reasons but more to do with aesthetics to have them in keeping with all the others.
This we will be working on over the coming months.
The Refurbishment started two years ago work has dragged on with still some
remedial work to be completed. However at nearly 30 years of age, this building
still looks good and receives a great deal of praise from Users that visit similar
establishments that are able to make Gomparisons and that acknowledgement is
always good to hear.
The thorny subject of our car parks and relationship with our neighbours hopefully
has now been resolved. The CCTV went live last September, and whilst it was a
diff iGult time for our staff having to take the flack in the early days, things have
settled down and our car parks remain solely for the use of our Groups.
other milestones of note:
The establishment of the Toy Library which has generated an income of £7,500
The continuing success of the coach trips the highlight being two separate trips
with two coaches to see the amazing Abba Voyage in London's east 9nd,
We have also been working on setting up a new bank account. Moving away from
Barclays and moving over to Unity Trust with an account that is mLJch more charity
compliant and has better18vels of safeguards as to how money is spent that
protects staff and Trustees in the day to day running of the Association.
During the past year we also saw the concrete floor in The Point being dug up,
relaid and a new vinyl floor covering go down.
Whilst on Ihe subject of The Point it would be appropriate to mention that the
Youth Centre has not gone the way we envisaged it would, especially as we near
Its ten year anniversary. In recent months we have lost our Youth Workers who
have moved onto new pastures. Replacing them is a challenge. Cut backs from
local and central government over recent years to Youth budgets has seen a
decline in people pursuing youth work as a career, even seasoned professionals in
this sector have turned their back on it favouring job security in new found gainful
employment. Going forward will require us to think outside the box and develop

different type of youth strategy something Mandy & I will sit down and explore in the
coming weeks.
Other tasks we have to resolve in the near future include a now lease. Our current
lease has expired. Although all involved with TDCA are adamant a new lease was
signed 14 years ago and despite repeated requests over the last ten years for an
updated lease to be supplied to us that confirm the arrangements for The Point,
BDBC declared last year they had no knowledge of any new lease being granted
14 years ago and our existing lease is the only one they recognise. Whilst it's not a
particular issue as our tenure is protected it does cause us an issue when seeking
grant funding as one condition of any successful application is evidence of
security of tenure to be able to deliver the project for which you are seeking
funding. Unfortunately BDBC have pretty much let all their community buildings
run down their leases, that's about 20 Centres and village halls and they expect to
create 5 new leases per year. We don't know where we are on that list but I'm sure
you can do the rllaths to work out the best and worst case scenario.
Over th& past year the Food Pantry has been well used. Demand ebbs and flows
as can be seen from the accounts income has fallen quite sharply and the
running of the Food pantry going forward will require a model that makes it
sustainable in the long run and this is something we can assure our members is
under review. As long as we receive grants and donations it's a service we will look
to protect particularly in the current political and economic climate as we feel
demand for the service will grow once again.
Once again the inflatable castle party packages at the weekends have been very
successful. We have also recently identified a gap in the market for young child
with Special Education Needs & Development and we have just acquired some
additional equipment that is appropriate to their needs that will allow us to provide
a safe environment for them to experience birLhday parties in these halls. Funding
has come from the Postcode Lottery windfall.
Going fomiard, we still have to update the blaGkout blind in Hall B. We also wish
to add Tv screens to the rooms that don't have them and put blinds in the roof
lights of the Beavers Room and Nursery..
W2 have in past years reported our desire to install solar Panels on the roof of the
building. Our efforts initially thwarted by the refurbishment work, and then our
failure to get grant funding. However , our landlords BDBC as part of their revised
climate strategy have identified this facility as one that warrants the installation of
solar panels at their expense. Initial survey work has been done and we wait
confirmation of a start date. Anything that helps reduces our electriGity bills has to
be welcomed.

Finally, I need to thank an ever increasing number of people for their efforts and the
time they give up freely to support this organisation. Everybody is valued and
apprEGiated for what you do.
