Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. 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 purpose of the charity is to provide a safe and welcoming environment for the public to enjoy which includes a licensed bar, gaming machines, pool table and dart boards. It also boasts a separate function room with a bar that can be used for private functions along with club events as well as being used as a Pre-school and evening activities such as Dance School, Yoga, Zumba and Football meetings. There are also Pool and Darts teams based there.
Significant activities
Over the past year we have had live bands singers, a mini farm outside the club at Easter and at Christmas we arrange a dinner and party for our elder members as well as a visit from Father Christmas for the kids. Also once a month on Sunday evenings there is bingo night. There are regular fundraising events held throughout the year including Sunday meat raffle, race nights on the big screen, Quiz nights and also a Charity day raising funds for charities such as MNDA and various cancer Charities. There is also a nominal charge for non members which allows everybody to come and enjoy the facilities.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
We continue to support a small pre school group providing a safe environment for the smaller children
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Over the past year the club has done its best to keep the bar prices down and this is one of the main reasons more and more new members from the local community are joining the club. Many new families are also joining, as the club provides a safe and welcoming environment for adults and children alike.
The club has again heavily invested in decorating and re-flooring the hall of the club so it matches the recent renovation of the main bar and makes it more likely to be hired out.
The committee, staff and other members who go out of their way to make everybody feel welcome should be praised on their good work.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Westwood Farm Community Association
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Westwood Farm Community Association
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Westwood Farm Community Association (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2024.
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
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the ERROR - relevant professional body must be completed, which is one of the listed bodies.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.
