## **FISHERMEAD TRINITY CENTRE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MARCH 2022** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31[st] March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' issued in March 2011. 

## **A. REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS** 

## **Registered Charity Number:** 

282839 

## **Principal Address** 

Fishermead Boulevard Fishermead Milton Keynes MK6 2LA 

## **Trustees** 

M R Petchey D Kendrick Rev T Norwood H Elbers[(appointed 21st July 2021)] D J Mahon[(appointed 21st July 2021)] 

## **Independent Examiner** 

Timothy May 7 Sandown Court Bletchley Milton Keynes MK3 5LZ 

## **B. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing Document** 

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

3 | P a g e 



## **C. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The core objective of the charity is the operation of a Community Hall in Fishermead, Milton Keynes. 

To provide facilities for recreation and leisure time for the inhabitants of Fishermead and its immediate neighbourhood, together with the advancement of the Christian religion by provision of facilities for the Church of England, the Methodist Church, the Baptist Church and the United Reformed Church. 

## **Public benefit that is provided by the charity** 

The trustees confirm that they have given their due consideration to the Charity Commission guidance on the operation of the Public Benefit requirement. 

## **D. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

The Community Asset Transfer of the Centre is still ongoing but the complexities of the various lease arrangements attached to the current trust continue to delay the progress of the transfer. Whilst the transfer process is still ongoing all significant renovation and refurbishment plans remain on hold. Like many organisations the Centre continued to feel the impact of the pandemic. Although the Covid-19 restrictions eased during the financial year the Centre was still impacted by the rapidly changing guidance applied to public venues. The hall hires that were accepted complied with the guidance relevant at the time of the booking. 

It should be noted the Centre no longer enjoyed the support of the government’s Business Support Package grants and the furlough scheme during the reported Financial Year. 

## **E. FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Policy on reserves** 

The cash at the bank is £5,986, which represents £4,925  of general, unrestricted funds and a balance of £1,061 of restricted funds split between the Community Garden and Community Larder. 

Only the unrestricted general funds meets the Charity Commission’s definition of reserves. The trustees seek to maintain reserves at not less than three months’ general fund expenditure (i.e. £7,395 based on 2021/22 activity), believing that this provides a prudent buffer against unforeseen expenditure. The funds currently held are below the policy threshold but the recovery from the Covid-19 restrictions plays a considerable part in this policy shortfall. 

## **Investment Policy** 

To invest the unused funds in secure interest bearing deposit accounts. To hold these in secure and ethical funds in accordance with the Trust Deeds. 

## **Review** 

The General Fund net incoming/(outgoing) resources amounted to a deficit of £6,588 (2021; £2,213 surplus) during the year. 

The pandemic has continued to negatively impact the Centre activity during the Financial Year. The departure of the Centre manager in August 2021 also had a negative impact on the utilisation of the Centre despite volunteers taking on the day to day operations. The Government’s Business Support Package ceased in March 2021 so the safety net protecting against lost income due to the lockdown ceased at the end of the prior financial year. 

4 | P a g e 



The 2021/2022 Financial Year also saw the end of the furlough scheme so the Centre returned to paying the full staff costs. The departure of the manager in August eased the employment costs but adversely impacted the income generated. A small pool of volunteers took over running the Centre but the hire activity was constrained by the availability of those volunteering. However, the trustees appreciated all the efforts of those who stepped in to maintain the operation of the building for the remainder of the financial year.
