The Rainbow Centre is a community centre for the over 50’s. We have many different activities taking place throughout the week. A few examples of these include an art group, short mat bowling, sequence dancing, line dancing, creative writing, crafts and QiGong. We have also introduced seated yoga and zumba to our timetable. We also arrange to have a variety of short courses available during the year. These include for example computer courses covering all abilities from the beginner to the advanced over a range of topics. Other examples include photography. Members can offer suggestions for course subjects.

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Lots of the people who use the Rainbow Centre say that they would be lost without it. If the Rainbow Centre did not exist then there would be more lonely older people isolated at home (in some cases adding more pressure to the NHS).
Instead of that we provide a safe environment for people to meet and where they can enjoy the activities and courses on offer or just sit and chat with each other enjoying the friendly atmosphere of the Rainbow Centre.
With the pandemic we had to close our Centre in March 2020 but from September 2021 we once again welcomed old and new members back.
The feedback we receive is overwhelmingly positive.
The Centre helps greatly to build self-confidence, independence and mental stability through both physical and mental development.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of
The Rainbow Centre Morecambe
Charity No. 223933
I report on the accounts for the year 1st April 2021 – 31[st] March 2022
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a 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 you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
