ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Page 2
Trinity House Social Centre
Trustees Annual Report
This year the charity started on a positive footing but in February 2020 some of the groups and activities with vulnerable people attending took an early decision to limit or withdraw their activities due to a concern regarding a virus which began to raise concerns.
In early 2020 in line with Government guidance the Centre was closed. The effect over the year, with limited support, clearly impacted on the future sustainability of the Charity.
The ongoing planning and development of the charity has been extended for a further year to accommodate the issues this year has raised and the Trustees are determined to progress with the development of the charity.
This year has also seen our policies and procedures reviewed and this process is ongoing.
We are again confident that the Charity will grow Post COVID-19 Pandemic in line with our expectations and development plan and we look forward to being of great value to the local and wider community.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The results of the year and the charitiy's financial position at the end of the year are shown in the attached financial statements.
During the year the Charity had receipts of £31,960 (2020: £71,940) and payments of £43,497(2020 : £84,637). There was an operating deficit of -£11,807 (2020: Deficit -£12,697)
The Charity currently disputes the validity of the current charges being levied by British Gas for Utilities. Issues regarding Account Ownership, VAT status and Climate Change Levy are being investigated. The liability is being recorded at the level billed by British Gas but once resolution is gained this should reduce the liability significantly.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
Training is identified for Trustees when in place. Due to the final paragraph in section 4 this has caused problems in the recruitment of trustees, in some cases due to the people having the knowledge to assist also identify themselves with a conflict of interest.
The Charity will continue to promote a culture of Diversity and Equality.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Management Committee is the body responsible for the overall management of the Charity, financial stability, organisational policy, budget setting and review and strategic direction.
The Managing Agent has responsibility of the day to day management of the centre, the supervision of staff and volunteers, monitoring of work and of progress of targets including increasing income to ensure long term stability.

Trinity House Social Centre Independent Examiners Report
Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Trinity House Social Centre
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Trinity House Social Centre for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011('the Act'). The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under the Charities Act 2011, s.144(2) (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the 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 can 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:
-
the accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

-
Other expenditure These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:
| useful life: | |
|---|---|
| Freehold property | -1%% Straight Line |
| FIxture and Fittings and Equipment |
-15%% Reducing Balance |
Freehold investment property
Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.
Stocks
Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.
Trade and other debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Trinity House Social Centre Notes to the Accounts
Trade and other creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Research and development
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.
Foreign currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred.
All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.
Leased assets
Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.
Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.
Pension costs
The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the charity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the charity has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the charity in independently administered funds.
Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services
All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.
