Derby West Indian Community Association

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 the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS 102).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives, aims and public benefit

The Association aims to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Derby with particular emphasis on people of West Indian heritage and to manage a community centre, providing social, cultural, educational and recreational activities. Also advocacy, information and support for and representing disadvantaged people.

Significant activities DWICA is part of a National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) East Midlands Caribbean Carnival Arts Network (EMCCAN) through which it receives money from Arts Council England for the delivery of Derby Caribbean Carnival. Carnival is funded from 2018-2027.

Big Lottery Grant, (The National Lottery), application has been successful, with a grant being awarded for 3 years 2023 to 2026.

Funding is provided by BBC Children in Need (CIN) for our annual 4-week Summer School.

The main activities undertaken during the year were:

~- Equality and Justice Project. - Production and launch of the Book, "A Long Journey - The History of Derby West Indian Community Association". - Completion and Launch of DWICA Digital Legacy Website.

Contribution of Volunteers

In carrying out its activities the Charity makes considerable use of volunteers. The Charity has ten regular volunteers and some 50+ during the Carnival period. The value of volunteers’ contribution has not been quantified.

The Trustees would like to thank all the volunteers for their contribution throughout the year.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal funding sources

DWICA receives grants from a range of organisations including statutory authorities and we have detailed and robust financial controls and procedures in place for monitoring spending.

Grants are received from The National Lottery, BBC Children in Need, which continues to support the Derby West indian Community Association by providing funding which helps to pay for salaries, freelance workers, professional workers, and refreshments. In doing so, this enables the Charity to achieve its objectives and continue to run efficiently.

Grants are also received from BBC Children in Need which fund the running costs of a 4-week summer school to help provide care, education and activities to those who require it during the busy summer period.

Other Policy Development/Implementation

The Charity has developed the following policies - vetting policy, fraud and corruption policy, child lost policy, security policy and safeguarding policy, Volunteer code of conduct GDPR. Engagement of HR Policy Company to manage DWICA employment issues. Risk Assessment.

Reserves policy

It is the Trustees’ policy to maintain reserves in unrestricted funds sufficient to meet current liabilities and provide a cushion against any fluctuations or delays in funding.

Through frugality, employing of energy savings devices and a team of hard working volunteers applying for small pots of funding, the Organisation has managed to stay afloat in difficult times.

FUTURE PLANS

Applications are continually being made for staff funding, new projects and sustainability of the community centre, with special emphasis on commissioning services from the local authority around public health and The National Lottery Reaching Communities Funds for Community Development Work. We raise funds as the needs arise for projects.

A new application to The National Lottery has secured further funding for 3 years - 2023 to 2026. The funding is for the employment of 3 staff, Administrator, CYP Project Officer and Elders Project Officer.

BBC CIN funding for our Summer School Project ended in August 2023. We have, however, been successful in securing further funding for a further 3 years to 2026.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The Charity is controlled by its governing document, a Deed of Trust.

Election of Trustees

The Officers of the Charity come up for election annually. One third of the Management Committee members shall retire at the Annual General Meeting but are eligible for re-election or re-appointment. All paid up members of the Association are circulated with invitations to nominate replacements for retiring Trustees for appointment at the Annual General Meeting.

Organisational structure

The Trustees manage the Charity. The Trustees meet monthly on every third Friday of the month and are mostly concerned with policy matters and the proper functioning of the community centre. Officers present verbal monthly reports to the Committee. The Treasurer however monitors our budget and produces a three monthly written report of spending to the Management Committee.

Our Treasurer is extremely hands on and provides regular financial reports to our Management Committee meetings for discussion and approval. Other Committees and Working Groups are formed on a temporary basis as appropriate.

Responsibilities for the day to day management of the Charity lie with the Manager/Development Co-ordinator with powers and responsibilities approved by the Trustees - verbal monthly reports and written three monthly reports are received by the Trustees. The Manager/Development Co-ordinator is line managed by the Chairman or a delegated officer.

Induction and training of new General Committee members

Trustees are provided with a handbook containing key documents. New Trustees are inducted by meeting with officers who explain their roles and responsibilities. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the understanding of their role.

Some members of the Management Committee and staff received Safeguarding Training in 2021 but the training is ongoing.

Risk management

The Trustees have examined the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, including possible claims in respect of the annual Caribbean Carnival and any issues arising from the use of the community centre and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate those risks. The Association is insured for employer, public liability and professional indemnity.

At the year end there has beena transfer from several funds to move the final fund balances to the general fund.

  1. GOING CONCERN

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

The General Committee have formed a judgement at the time of approving the financial statements, that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate financial resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. This is dependent upon the support of the charity's funders and bankers, which is expected to continue. For these reasons, the General Committee continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
