MARLOW COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
Trustees Report on the Fjnanaal Arti￿1e5 of the Assooation:
As will be seen from the financial report. the Covid pandemic continued to have a serious effect on
the finances of the Assouation. The Executive Committee has at all times strlctly followed
Government guidelines for the use of our letting rooms and has taken extemal advlce about rtr
opening from Community Impact. Bucks. We were able to open for limited periods during the year
but have been able to open on a more regular, ff restrlcted basls, slnce February 2022. Bookings
for this current year are looking considerably improved compared to 2021.
The Trustees {the General Council) met three times in the last year. In accordance with the
adopted accountin8 policy. the independentty examined Statement of Financial activities and
Balance Sheet of the Association for the year ended 31st December 2021 are included with this
report.
The Statement of Financial Activitles for the Association shows a deficit of £4.810 for the year
12020 deficlt £8,352}. In line with our accounting policy, we contlnue to depreciate our assets on a
straight-line basis and depreciation of £3,97912020 £4,548} has been charged in arriving at this
yearfs deficit.
The income from lettings was agaln serlously afferted by closure of the hall dueto the Covld
pandemic and the reduced re￿iPtS, much lower than the pr&Covid years, are reflected in the
figures- 2021 £28,52812020 £20.5691. The Sections and Affiliated charity and other community
groups still enjoy advantageous rates: in 2021 it is estimated that they received in excess of
£13,22012020 £8,167) in reduced char8es when compared to our commercial rates. Letting
charges are reviewed annually and from 1st January 2021 they increased by a rate broadly in line
with the Tate of inflation.
The Assodatlon has flve Sertions - Bridge, Dog Trainln& Parents and Toddlers, Cameo Lunch Club
and Friday Lunch Club and the results of their activities are consolidated in these accounts. All
have been adversely affected by the Covid pandemic, but between them they sustained a deflclt
of £811 {2020 deficit £7). The Carnival returned in September contributing an excellent Surplus of
£4,938.
Interest on savlngs In the CharFtles Officlal Investment Fund was In Ilne with current low interest
rates. No thanges have been made to the investment strate8y durln8 thls financial year.
Routine maintenance costs in 2021 amounted to £5,210 {2020 £3.3171 and as a result. all our
letting rooms are now in very good condition. Salary costs were lower than the previous year as
staff were furloughed during the pandemic. The Association did receive some Government
funding in respect of staff wa8es. Other costs remained broadly In line wlth our budget and the
total costs were therefore some £1.484 below the previous year.
Despite the Covid pandemlc, the Balance Sheet remains healthy. with £12,015 {2020 £12,014) in
the COIF deposit account and £13.470 {2020 £12,809} in our unrestricted current accounts. The
Executtve Committee keeps the cash position under regular review and is confident that the cash
position is sufficient to cover nomial running costs for the next twelve months.
Reserves
At the year-end. we had reserves of £177,97012020 £182.780). which induded £29,535 {2020
£30.346) in restrirted income funds. The General Maintenance Reserve standing at £4,000 {2020
£4,0(KJ) is included in the restricted income funds.

IrKlependent Examinerfs repwt to the Trustws of Marfw Comnwnlty Assocl*ion
I report on the attounts of Mark)w Community Associthn for year ended
31 December 2021, which are set out on pages I to 6.
Respective responslbilities of trustees and examlner.
The charitys trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts The charit￿S
Irustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under secth)n 144 of the CharIt￿$
Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It15 my responslbllftyto:
' examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charlties Act
. to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission under section 145151{bl of the 2011 Act, and
• to stste whether particular matters have come to my attention.
My examlnation was carried out In accordance with general Directions 8r¥en by the Charlty
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity
and a comparlson of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration
of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts. and seeking explanatlons from you as
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 account5 present a 'true and fair and the report is limited to those matters
set out in the next statement.
Ind•￿t￿leNt èxamln•rfs statemert
In connection with my examination. no material matters have come to my attentlon which
gives me cause to believe that. in any material respect:
• the accountin8 records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charitles
Act 2011: or
. the accounts did not accord with the accounting records,. or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and
content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2011 other
than any requirement that the accounts give a 't￿￿ and fai¢ vlew which Is not a matter
considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have corne across no motters in connection with the examlnatlon to
which attention should be drawn in thi5 report In order to enable a proper understandin8
of the accounts to be reached.
