Chairman’s Report

It has been a tough year with regard to rental income and we are hoping that next year will not be too much worse. The kitchen should be finished within two to three weeks. This is unacceptable, and the trustees have been very unhappy with the contractors. The vaccination centre has now finished and clearing up should be completed by the end of next week. The outside marquee should be gone by the end of next week too. We have a good booking lined up for the Battery.

We need to look into available grants for a warm space facility and whether the kitchen can be used to help local residents. Rental is being held down for playgroup, and other rents have been adjusted.

BADGER FARM AND OLIVER'S BATTERY RESIDENTS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL 2023

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30th April 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The objective of the charity is to provide rooms for hire to local organisations, thereby enabling a range of activities to take place for the benefit of the local community. The charity also issues a free community news letter to local residents.

Public benefit

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 and have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

The charity has seen an increase in hall bookings as the country recovers from the Covid 19 pandemic, supplemented by ongoing support in the form of government grants. Significant income has been generated from the site's utilisation as a vaccine centre, but this will likely fall in the year to April 2023 as demand decreases.

The charity raised significant funds during the year ended April 2021 in an attempt to acquire an area of green space called the Davis Kickabout. Although the purchase was unsuccessful, some funds had been retained to allow the charity to continue its activities in preventing development of the area or for general community projects. Amounts due back to donors in respect of the failed purchase were previously shown in current liabilities and have either been refunded or retained for the charity to continue its activities.

The trustees consider the Charity to have sufficient reserves to continue operating under the current circumstances for the foreseeable future.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

At 30th April 2023 the charity had net funds of £189,797.

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the Trustees to maintain the free reserves of the charity at a level to provide sufficient funds to cover the upkeep of the building together with management, administration and support costs.The Community Association, through its Executive Committee, reviews repairs and renovations needed to the building and its facilities on an annual basis, to enable it to offer a high level of service to all hirers of the Community Centre.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The Trustees of the charity are listed on the information page. New Trustees may be appointed by the existing Trustees. In appointing a new Trustee the settlor or existing Trustees will take into account the benefits of appointing a person who is able by virtue of his or her personal or professional qualifications to make a contribution to the pursuit of the objectives or management of the charity.

Risk management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BADGER FARM AND OLIVER'S BATTERY RESIDENTS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Badger Farm and Oliver's Battery Residents Community Association

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Badger Farm and Oliver's Battery Residents Community Association (the Trust) for the year ended 30th April 2023.

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 30TH APRIL 2023

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.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued on 16th July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended practice effective from 1st April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern

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.

Long leasehold - 2% on cost Plant and machinery - 25% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 10% on cost

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

All funds held by the charity are unrestricted general funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the Trustees.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF

BADGER FARM AND OLIVER'S BATTERY

RESIDENTS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Badger Farm and Oliver's Battery Residents Community

Association

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Badger Farm and Oliver's Battery Residents

Community Association (the Trust) for the year ended 30th April 2023.

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.
