FUTURE PLANS

Future plans for the centre are:

Large community jubilee street party and fun day, involving tables and chair hire outside on the precinct. Entertainment will be inflatable wipeout, fair stalls and such like. This is to be held in conjunction with the official jubilee.

A day at the races for Ascot. This will involve a barbecue and entertainment as people watch the races at the centre.

We are in the process of obtaining quotes regarding a roof replacement and are in discussions with the council for financial assistance to carry out the works.

We will also have the usual Halloween, Christmas and Easter fun days

The committee is working hard and is committed to improving the centre and the business for the use of the whole community. Our membership has grown and we have a lot of first time members this period. We plan to continue to maintain and invest in the building both in the upkeep and the appearance. We will continue to try and plan activities that involve the estate and community as a whole. During the current financial climate when people are struggling to meet the costs of day to day life, we will need to pull out all the stops and try to keep the cost low for the members and people to come to enjoy all that we offer. Overall it has been a successful year considering the hardships that have been faced.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Jackmans Community Association

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Jackmans Community Association

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Jackmans Community Association (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

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

  3. 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.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

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.

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 cost 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.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Improvements to property - 10% on cost Plant and machinery - 25% on reducing balance Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Covid-19

The Pandemic outbreak of Covid-19 has continued to have a significant impact on people, charities and industry across the world. The trustees continue to monitor the situation and follow the applicable guidance issued by the UK Government. Due to the nature of the outbreak and the ongoing affect it is having around the world it is still difficult to fully predict the overall impact this situation will have on the charity going forward particularly with the enforced closure of the venue for much of the period. The charity was in receipt of assistance from local authorities totalling £41,616. The trustees have exercised judgement in evaluating the impact of Covid-19 on these financial statements and have reviewed the assets for impairment as deemed necessary.
