## **MUSKHAM RURAL COMMUNITY CENTRE** 

## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT** 

The trustees present their report and the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 September 

2021. 

## **Also known as North Muskham Recreation Playing Fields Association and North Muskham Recreation Committee.** 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The centre exists for the benefit of our local community and the villages it serves.  Our objective is to provide safe, clean, accessible community facilities for all ages.  The Centre comprises three different sized rooms, kitchen, stage playing field and changing facilities for sports.  The Centre can be booked for family functions, community group meetings and events.  All bookings for the hall are made through the booking Secretary and must comply with the booking conditions. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

The centre provides a hub for community groups such as WI, OAP luncheon club, Parents and Toddlers, Keep Fit, yoga, Table Tennis, Art group, History society, Muskham Players (Am dram) etc.  The local Cougars junior football team train and play on the field.  Whilst Covid lockdown temporarily closed the centre most of the pre-pandemic activities are back up and running. 

The centre is home to the Preschool Playgroup 4 days a week and the Out of school club every weekday morning and evening in term time and holds the holiday club during school vacations. 

Occasional users include Caravan clubs, weddings, funeral wakes, christenings and children’s birthday parties. Charities find us a good venue for fundraising evenings and we organise a village fete most years.  We are able to offer a licensed bar if required for events. 

The centre is well used and the main role of the committee is to keep it in good state of repair and organise the regular inspections and maintenance.  The Centre is cleaned daily. 

## **Financial review** 

2020/21 has been the second year greatly influenced by the Covid pandemic.  From 1[st] October 2020 up until lockdown eased in July 2021, the centre was mainly just used by the Playgroup and the Out of School club. Thankfully the Covid business relief grants made available through Newark and Sherwood Council meant we received £19,403.07 in addition to the £10,000 we received in 2019/20.  Without this we would have seen a significant deficit this year.  However fortunately we have been able to add £12,250 to our savings to invest in the Centre. 

Notes to explain income 

- Regular users’ income reduced from 2019 levels due to pandemic restrictions but this expected to return to pre-pandemic levels over coming year or so. 

- No caravan meets in 2020/21 and very limited occasional users also expected to return to better level in 2021/22 

- We held one Live and Local event with very limited numbers due to social distancing requirements, so was held as a social event rather than a fundraising event. 

- The summer village shindig restocked the bar and the income from this will pick up as charity events return and more large-scale family celebrations 

- Feed-in-Tariff from the solar panels wasn’t claimed in 2019/20 so this years accounts have two years of FIT in them 

- No fundraising for the playground was done but the money raised so far is being held to hopefully provide third party funding for a landfill tax grant application 

- Holding reserved income of £331 for the capturing memories project that received a grant but don’t have their own bank account.

## **MUSKHAM RURAL COMMUNITY CENTRE** 

## Notes on expenditure 

- Expenditure on utilities, refuse, cleaning etc. quite similar to previous years as the centre was still in use by the playgroup and out of school club during weekdays. 

- Building maintenance much less than last year as we took the opportunity in 2020 to do some repairs whilst the building was shut during first lockdown. 

Sadly, our usual accountant has been very unwell and was unable to sign off the accounts.  The committee agreed to appoint David Pattinson instead who is experienced in providing services for small charities in Newark at an agreed good value rate. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The Centre is managed by the committee of trustees appointed every year at the AGM.  We have a set of regular and committed individuals, some who have sat on the committee managing previous community buildings on the site for over 30 years.  As tasks become necessary members of the committee volunteer to complete them depending on their skills.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MUSKHAM RURAL COMMUNITY CENTRE** 

I report on the accounts of Muskham Rural Community Centre, for the year ended 30 September 2021 which are set out on page 4 to 10. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

As the Charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) does not apply, and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Charities Act, 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners.  An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.  It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the 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 accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

(1)   which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act. 

have not been met; or 

- (2)  to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
