Law applicable to charities in England and Walos also requires tho Charyty Trustees to prepare
financial statements for each flnandal year, which glve a true and falr vllw of the charty's financial
activitles during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year.
The Charty Trustees a￿ responslble for keeping proper ac(tsJnting recor(Is. whlch disclos8 wlth
reasonable accuracy at any tme the finanaal position of the charity and ensure that the financtal
statements compty with Part 8 of the Charities Acl 2011. They are also responsibl8 for safeguarding
the charivs assets and hence for taking reasonable steps for the wevention of fraud and breaches
of laws and regulations.
Actlvltles durlng Ihe y•ar
The Charity Trustees are pleased to report that the relaw low usage levels at the start of 2023124
Increased stgnrficanty over the year and are continuing to increase into 2024125. During 2023124 a
new section of the Assooatkjn was estabwied (Marshfiekl Communlty Friends), grant funded by
South Gloucestershlre to provlde warm spaces and 80cial activklles. All the organisatlons Ilsted
above use the C(Jnmunity Centre regularly. Other activiti8s in the Centr8 indude local tharity
events. elections. vaccination clinics, Zumba and Line Danping. Th8 number of private bookings
has al80 increased. We Ihank Marshfiekl Communty Frfends. all Affimated organlsatlons. and all
other u8er8 for thelr contlnued supporL
A8 well as the yovislon of communal Spa￿6. the Communlty Centro itstilf ran a successful 8oule6
Day in July 2024.
OveNl•w of flnanc
The Charty Trustees are aware that. as the building 18 over 30 years okl, *nlficant rep8lr8 will
conunue to be ￿qUIred In the future. Their long-tenn policy is that part of the As8odation's reserv8$
are designated as tr￿ng available to Improve arKJ malntain the Communlty Centre. for the benefit of
all current and future users, wovided that th8 remaining free reserves amount to at least 60% of
expected annual oxpenditure.
In 2023124 rentsl income exceeded expwiditure by £3.070.84. This outcomg was mcfe favourable
than expected, due mainty to the Increases in usage of the C8ntre 88 noted above. After tsklng
Into account the reserve of £4,962.00 held for Marshfield Community Friends and the retsined free
reserve of £15.000.00, Ihe r8s8Ne held for Imkyovements and major maintenance prtiects
amounted to £59,769.47. As at 31 August 2024 the free reserves amounted to 64.3% of the
previous year's expenditure.
Twowyear r•vlew
In July 2023 the Charlty Trustees ojnrnenced a Mtsyear revlew of the A880ciation's gov8man¢8
and business, prompted by the difficufti85 in recruiting and retslning Trustees and finanoal
projeciions that indicated the Association would expeAence very signlficant operatM)nal deficits within
2-3 years. Most of the first year of this review invcdved extenslve Consultau￿ w5th resld8nts and
communty organisations in Marshfield and surrounding ams.
In the second year of the review plans for the Centre's fijture will be developed and prop)sed, and
further consultation will take place. However in the meantime the A550cialion's finances have
improved to the extent that no operational dèfiot is projected in 2024125 ￿ 2025126. This financial
outcome has reduced Ihe urgency. but not the impcKtsnce. of the revlew.

Independent examlnerfs report to the Charlty Trustees
I report on the accounts of the Association for the year ￿ded 31 August 2024, which are set OLrt
cm pages 110 4.
Respectlve ruponslbllitles of trustO•s and •xamln•r
As the Charlty Trustees you ar8 responsible for the preparati(￿ of the 8tta)unts. You consider that
an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities A(* 2011 (Ihe Acr) and that
an independent examination is needed.
It is my respmsibilty to examine the accounts under section 145 of the Acl to fonow the procedures
laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Cwimission (under seLlion 145(5)(b) of the
Act), and to stste wh8th8r particular matters have com8 to my attention.
Basls of Indepondent examlnoV$ report
My examination was carried out in 8ccord8nc8 with g8n8ral Direction8 given by the Charity
Commission. An examlnalion indudes a revlew of the accountlng records kept by the charity and a
comparlson of the accounts wesented with those records. It also indudes cA)nsideration of any
unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanatlons from you as Charity Trustees
conceming 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 wh8th8r the aco)unts present
'true and falf vl8w and the rep(￿ is limited to those mattw5 set cKrt in the statement below.
Ind•p•nd•nt •xamln•rf• statom•nt
In connedon wtth my examlnation. no matter has come to my att8nllon:
•. whlch giv8s me reasonable cause to believe that In any material respect the
requirements:
to keep accounting records In awxdance wllh set*M 130 of Act; and
to prepare accounts vthlch acurd with the accwnllNJ recwd8 and comply the
accounting requlrements of the AL*
hav8 not been met., or
b. to which, in my opinion, attention should be dravm in order to anable a proper
understanding of the aco)unts to be reached.
