In order to ensure that the interior of the premises are maintained to the highest possible standards a constant programme of maintenance and enhancements are carried out. This includes such major projects as the completed refurbishment of the Gents toilets with similar plans being made for the ladies washrooms. It is also intended to complete the resurfacing of the Millennium Suite floor.
Financial Review
The Trust has enjoyed a successful year consolida�ng an already sound balance sheet with net assets of £116762 including restricted funds of £928 being cash held for future commi�ed disbursement to our charity of the year.
Total income for the year was £527,198, with total expenditure of £410,436 resul�ng in a surplus in our first year of £116,762. When reviewing these amounts it should be noted that £106,584 of this income relates to the transfer of assets from the antecedent organisa�on, Great Baddow Community Associa�on. Of this surplus £928 relates to restricted funds, leaving unrestricted reserves of £115,834.
Therefore the net surplus a�ributable to the total ac�vi�es of GBMCCT for the twelve months was £9250 excluding the transfer of assets from the Great Baddow Community Associa�on.
Details of the changes in the components of the income and expenditure, balance sheet and cash flow are contained in the full set of Financial Statements for the year.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES
(Incorporating an Income and Expenditure Account) for the year ended 31 March 2024
1. Statutory Information
Great Baddow Millenium Community Centre is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). The charity's registered charity number, registered office and the nature of its activities can be found in the Trustees Report.
2. Accounting policies
Basis of preparing the financial statements
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
These financial statements consolidate, on a line by line basis, the results of the charity and it's wholly-owned subsiduary Great Baddow CA Limited. Transactions and balances between the charity and its subsidiary have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. Balances between the charity and the company are disclosed in the notes of the charity's balance sheet.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
No critical accounting judgements have been made in the process of applying the accounting policies below.
There are no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Future forecasts and business plans have been considered in coming to this conclusion.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Donations
For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102).
Trading activities
Income from trading activities includes income earned from operating a licensed members club including a bar and restaurant from within the premises. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.
Charitable Activities
The charity provides facilities for community groups and private hires to meet. Income from grants is recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Allocation and apportionment of costs
Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs and governance costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Furniture & Equipment - 20% on cost Building Works - 10% on cost
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.
