## Report of the Trustees
for the year ended 31st March 2022
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2022. 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 activities**
To create an excellent Community Centre and one of which the town is proud.
To have clear achievable targets.
To benefit the Community by providing facilities for recreational and leisure time for welfare and social integration, whereby improving the conditions of life for local people of all ages.
To develop partnerships with business, local government and the wider community and provide an umbrella organisation for mutual benefit and community development.
To be a meeting place for the town.
To develop the esteem of the community locally and further afield.
To manage the resources of the Centre effectively.
To look to the future with a view to refurbish and maintain the present Community Centre and to continue to keep our high standards.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Achievements and performance**
Due to the continuance of Covid 19, for the first half of the year, the Community Centre was only open to groups involved in the provision of activities that benefited children's health and wellbeing.
Staff were still being fully, or partially, furloughed.
The Community Centre was finally allowed to reopen fully on 2nd August 2021. Our regular Groups gradually started to return as confidence grew and general hall hire for functions began to pick up again.
The Community Centre is a vital hub for the people of Waltham Abbey. We hope, that now we are fully reopen our income will increase back to its pre Covid level.
We are grateful for the support given by our volunteers and staff which enables us to continue to meet our commitments.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
The attached accounts show the finances for the year. With reduced financial assistance in the period and in light of a reduced period whereby we were able to open a loss was unfortunately inevitable, we hope to return to profitability in the forthcoming year.
The trustees are happy that a proper accounting record has been kept which discloses with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and that all reasonable steps have been taken for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves policy**
The trustees have built up cash reserves to enable the CA to continue operating, in the short term, if it were not able to hire out halls for income, the level of reserves would cover our legal and financial obligations.
Reserves may also be used for any future contingencies that may occur that are not day to day running costs but essential repairs or replacement of goods that if not implemented could put at risk the level of income received by the Community Association.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
## **Constitution**
The Waltham Abbey Community Association is a registered charity and the current constitution was adopted in July 1998.
## **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.
The trustees have examined the operational and business risks that we face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks. These systems are updated regularly in the light of further risk assessment.

## Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Waltham Abbey Community Association
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Waltham Abbey Community Association**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Waltham Abbey Community Association (the Trust) for the year ended 31st March 2022.
## **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**
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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. 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.
