COX GREEN COMMUNITY CENTRE TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2023
ORGANISATION
The Trustees meet annually to review the Charity’s activities. Authority is delegated to the Management Committee which meets every three months. Responsibility for day to day operations at the Community Centre is delegated, as appropriate, to the Duty Manager and the Centre’s Staff.
RESERVES
It is the policy of the Charity to maintain free reserves which, after taking into consideration the required asset base at the Community Centre, are sufficient to service the objects of the Charity. The Centre's running costs are largely fixed and its income variable, necessitating that these reserves be held at a relatively high level Purchases of capital equipment are financed out of existing cash deposits, and from grants and donations.
Restricted reserves consist of the portion of net book values of capital items for which specified funding was received, surpluses built up by the Pre School Activity in previous years, which can be used only for activities benefiting children and young people, and the unspent balances on grants and donations made for specific purposes. At the 31[st] March 2023 these reserves were made up as follows :
| Net book value of the funded portion of cooker, toilets and other equipment Pre School and Summer Camp surpluses Net book value of funded portion of new entrance |
£ 13,355 54,469 29,484 |
|---|---|
| 97,308 |
The net book values do not represent a future cash commitment.
RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The Charity has accepted the risk management policies of the Local Authority. Major risks to the Charity’s income can arise from a dramatic reduction in Hall Hires, as has been seen during the Covid pandemic. Bookings continue to recover as normality returns. Meanwhile cash reserves and the cost base are closely monitored to ensure that the Charity can continue to function in today's volatile economic environment. Asset risks are mitigated by comprehensive insurance cover and by regular health and safety assessments. Financial and administrative controls are operated to provide security against the possibility of fraud.
INVESTMENT POWERS
The Trustees have powers under the Trust Deed to make investments at their absolute discretion, as they think fit.
TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare for each financial year financial statements which give a true and fair view of the Charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to :
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
state whether applicable accounting standards, statements of recommended practice, and the guidance
-
published by the Charities Commission have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume
-
that the Charity will continue in business
The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities’ Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity.

COX GREEN COMMUNITY CENTRE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2023
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation of the Financial Statements
These Financial Statements have been prepared under the Historical Cost Convention and in accordance with applicable accounting standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice : Accounting and Reporting by Charities (revised 2005).
The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption allowed by FRS 1 from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement on the grounds that it qualifies as a small entity.
Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
The Charity does not capitalise sundry equipment costing less than £500.
Provision for depreciation of Fixed Assets held for use by the Charity is made at annual rates calculated to spread the cost of each asset over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates currently in use vary between 2% for the principal buildings and 36% for equipment on a straight line basis.
Income and Expenditure
Income and Expenditure for the year is recognised under the accruals basis.
Allocation of Management, Administration and Facilities Costs
All non-specific overheads are apportioned between Costs of Fund Generating Activities and Costs of Charitable Activities. Management and Administration Costs are apportioned on the basis of estimated time employed by the relevant staff. Facilities Costs are apportioned on the basis of actual or notional Hall Hire charges. The amounts are shown in Notes 16 and 17.
Leases
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the Income and Expenditure Account as incurred.
Funds
Unrestricted Funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees. Restricted funds are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes.
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, using the first-in first-out basis.
