Page 2 ## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Battersea Scout Centre** I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Battersea Scout Centre (the Centre) for the year ended 31st March 2022 ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity trustees of the Centre 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 Centre’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner's Report** 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 Centre as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. The accounts do not accord with those records. 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, ## **Signed:** **Name** Michael Merritt **Relevant professional qualification or body** FCA **Address** 87 Worcester Road Chichester West Sussex PO19 5EB **Date:** Page 3 ## **Battersea Scout Centre Trustees' annual report for the year ended 31 March 2022** |Address

Royal Charter dated 4 January 1912 and declaration of trust dated 17 July 1972
The object of the Charity is to provide a meeting place for the development of young people to help them achieve their full physical,
intellectual, social and spiritual potential as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities.
The Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. Our charity's aim
is to help and educate young people through their leisure time or educational activities. Continued improvement
work has been undertaken at the Centre to improve the premises and to ensure that the health and safety
requirements are met. We have regular groups of Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorer Scouts using the centre and
when they are not, local community groups make use of the property.
The past twelve months has seen an increase in the usage of the Centre and income is almost back to pre pandemic levels. The Trustees have continued
to make improvements to the Centre as follows - The main exterior hall doors have been replaced with hardwood doors and these have now been painted.
Lighting has been installed on the outside of the container and a keysafe has been installed outside the new rear doors. Door guard units (to hold doors open)
have been installed on 3 doors, these will now close automatically should there be a fire. The kitchen has been redecorated as have the female showers and
the lobby. However, in 2022/23 we are planning to carry out a complete refit of the kitchen. Then last, but by no means least, a Defibrillator has been
installed in the lobby area. All in all, a very successful year.
The Trustees can confirm that the Battersea Scout Centre has at least one year's running costs in reserve.
One Trustee, Mr Reynolds was appointed with Charity Commission guidance to clean the hall for two hours a day, five days a week, for which his
company, C W Reynolds Building Limited duly received £800.00, but is still owed a further £950 as his invoice was delayed. His company was paid
£2,250.00 for the year 2020/21.| |---|---| Page 4
