The individual member trustees and Honorary Officers are elected or appointed on an annual basis at the Annual General Meeting. In the event of a vacancy occurring within the Honorary Officers the Council can fill the vacancy from the Council membership. Junior members can appoint two from their membership to sit on the Council. The constitution allows groups that meet the following criteria to appoint a representative to be a member of the Council: 1. Local statutory authorities and such voluntary organisations as operates in the area of benefit and satisfy the Council that they are an independent organisation or branch of an independent national or other organisation. 2. Sections shall be such groups as may, with permission of Council, be formed within the Association among the individual members for the furtherance of a common activity. Groups that currently meet these criteria are: - Stevenage Borough Council - Carpet Bowls group - Church group - Irish Dancing (Maria Grant) - Labour Party - The Learning Zone - Royal British Legion - Cub/ Beavers - At the Green Babies and Toddlers Group - Fishing club – (Non Affiliated) - Garden House Hospice. All members of the Council must retire annually but are eligible for reappointment At our AGM 17[th] January 2024 the following were elected to the Executive Committee at the AGM: Margaret Notley, Jackie Hollywell, Isobel Gasson, Lynda Coates, Sharon Taylor, Janet Merell, Annette Gasson and Michael Downing. Page 2 ## **SYMONDS GREEN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION Trustees Annual Report Continued For the year ended 31[st] March 2024__________________________________________________** ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** The objects of the Association are:- To promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Symonds Green and the neighbourhood without distinction of sex or of political, religious or other opinions by associating the local authorities, voluntary organisations and inhabitants in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and leisure-time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants. To establish or secure the establishment of a Community Centre and to maintain and manage, or to cooperate with any local statutory in the maintenance and management of such a Centre for activities promoted by the Association and its constitute bodies in furtherance of the above objects. The activities of the Association are:- 1. The Community Centre (2 halls) 2. Tea at the Green Cafe These buildings are hired to affiliated and non-affiliated groups such as Beavers, Cubs, Baby and Toddler group, martial arts, Irish dancing, Carpet Bowls, a local church group and many more. They are also used for parties and other private bookings including fundraising events. Office services including photocopying and typing provide much needed support to groups using the centres as a base for their activities. The Community Association now has its own Website - symondsgreen@symondsgreencc.co.uk; E-mail - symondsgreen@symondsgreencc.co.uk and Facebook sites for both the community centre and the café which are gaining more followers. ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** The Association measures its performance in terms of quantitative information rather than qualitative information (as it considers the continued use by organisations on a regular basis is almost a measure of the quality of the organisation) as it is easier to substantiate. We are recovering from the effect of the global pandemic. Unfortunately, some groups did not survive the pandemic, so we lost revenue from these groups, including Weight Watchers and a local dance group, however, we’ve had some new groups starting at the centre including Qi Qwan Do Martial Arts, and Stevenage Borough Football Club which are building a good client base here. ## **FINANCE REVIEW** The attached financial statements show the current state of the finances that the council considers sound. Careful monitoring has been carried out to ensure the Association continues to operate efficiently for the community of Symonds Green. Page 3 **SYMONDS GREEN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION Trustees Annual Report Continued For the year ended 31[st] March 2024 ________________________________________________** ## **FINANCE REVIEW Continued** We no longer receive a grant from the local authority, which has proved challenging, but we do take advantage of the local Councillor’s community budgets for various projects. We have new groups that have started to hire both halls and we are taking bookings for weekend hire, this is starting to pick up again since the pandemic ceased. We have had more lights put onto a sensor system, so this will help us with our energy costs. We have continued with the café opening of three days a week (from five) to condense costs of staffing, food purchasing and other outgoings and this is proving a successful change. ## **RESERVES POLICY** Symonds Green Community Association’s reserves policy aims to keep undesignated funds at a level equal to three months budgeted expenditure with an aim of not failing below six weeks budgeted expenditure. The trustees consider this level is required to demonstrate stability and security to beneficiaries, funders, supporters and employees. The trustees consider it prudent to hold this level of reserves to: - a) Fund the start up costs of developments that will enable the Association to meet its aims and objectives - b) Allow for fluctuations in income due to delayed receipt of statutory and/or contract payments - c) Meet unplanned but necessary expenditure The level of reserves is monitored and reviewed by trustees twice a year. ## **PLANS FOR THE FUTURE** Our plans for the future include attracting new groups to hire both halls of the centre and to work with our current groups to offer a range of clubs and activities for the people of Symonds Green and the wider communities in Stevenage. We are working in partnership with other charities such as the NHS and the local hospice (Garden House Hospice) and we continue to forge partnerships with other organisations. We continue to collect food for a local food bank and this is ongoing. We will endeavour to raise money for the association including holding our annual Christmas fete which has been very well attended by the community. We continue to implement new ideas into the café and also open the café on event days such as our Christmas fete. ## **Approved by the Trustees and signed on their behalf by:** **Margaret Notley Chairperson Date:** Page 4 ## **SYMONDS GREEN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER For the year ended 31[st] March 2024** I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] March 2024, which are set out on pages 6 to 17. ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act - have not been met; or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The trustees consider it prudent to hold this level of reserves to: a) fund the start up costs of developments that will enable the Association to meet its aims and objectives b) allow for fluctuations in income due to delayed receipt of statutory and/or contract payments. c) meet unplanned but necessary expenditure. The level of reserves is monitored and reviewed by trustees twice a year. |Free Reserves|£18,048| |---|---| |Three months running costs|£18,961| ## **15 Fund Analysis** |Income
