Report of the Trustees
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. 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 aim of the charity is to promote any charitable purpose for the well-being of the inhabitants residing in Stanmore and Edgware and the neighbourhood without distinction of sex or of political, religious or other opinions by the advancement of education and the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life and health for the said inhabitants. to associate with the local authority, voluntary organisations and residents in a common effort to advance all forms of education, and to foster a community spirit for the achievement of these and such other purposes as may by law be deemed to be charitable.
Significant activities
The charity has progressed well from the previous year with success in securing the return of pre-Covid lets and classes.
Canons Association Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Canons Community Association, is responsible for the management of the Bar. Sales are on the increase and it is now back in profit.The staff of the Canons Association Limited are responsible for the security of the entire Association and cover a lot of Association duties outside of normal office hours.
Volunteers
Its real strength lies in the enormous amount of voluntary service it receives from its members who willingly and generously give of their time at all hours. Volunteers do not receive any remuneration and on almost all cases never even claim out of pocket expenses. The Charity's General Committee (with the aid of executive and other committees) are also responsible for the management of the building including rental of halls and their maintenance. All other activities of the Association are done through voluntary sections and members who donate to the Association in furtherance of its objects.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds at a level which approximatley equates to three years' unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management, administration and support costs. This also allows for forward planning on a going concern basis. Reserves will also be required for when the lease is up for renewal in 2021, it is hoped that a yearly payment lease will be secured in early 2024 without an upfront payment but will still be for 25 years.
The year has seen an increase in lettings with the corresponding increase in total incoming resources, the support costs have been kept at the same levels as in previous years' thus there is an increase in the surplus on activities. The newly refurbished bar is also showing an increase in sales and the hope is that this will continue to increase.
FUTURE PLANS
There is a redecoration program that is ongoing and is continuing until all necessary projects have been completed. The lease of the Association is due for renewal in 2021 and the trustees are working towards ways of increasing income such that they are in a position to meet all corresponding costs.
The Association is also looking to replace the entire flat roof and renew the electrical systems and heating.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
The Canons Community Accociation ("the charity") was established in 1957 and registered as a charity on 1st January 1961. The charity's constitution was amended in October 2001.
