To advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupats'on with the objeg of improving the conditions of life for the inhabitants. Summary ofthe objects ofthe charity set out in its governing document To establish, maintain and manage the commu'nty centre for the activities promoted by the organisation and its constituent bodies, in the furtherance of the above objects. Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) The Community Centre Organisation achieves rts charttable objectives through maintenance and management of the community centre. We have also hosted an autumn fair in September 2024 which served as a fun cornmunty galhering as well as a fundraiser for the community ntre. We have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to the Charities Commission's public benefit guidance. Achievements and performance Isummary of the main achievements of the charity during the year The centre has continued to be very busy throughout the year, hosting a very wide range of regular and ad hoc user groups. We have continued to maintain the community centre to a high standard. This has involved maintaining compliance with relevant standards (for example for electrics and fire extinguisher inspection and testing) as well as effecting a number of minor repairs. This year we also purchased a new dishwasher for the kitchen, which is important for several of our user groups. In September our Autumn Fair was again a successful fun aftemoon for the local communty and raised £1,199 towards repairs and improvement of the centre. Section E Financial review Since we have now transferred all the assets and liabilities of the charity to St Aidan's Community Centre CIO, there are no reseNes to be held in St Aidan's Community Centre Organisation (the old charity) at the year end. Brief statement of the charity's policy on reserves Further financial review details {Optional inforniation) Our main Sour￿ of income is from hiring out the community ￿ntre to users. This is supplemented by income from the 500 Club, and funds raised at the autumn fair. Occasionally we receive other donations and grants. This year we re￿iVed £1,000 from the parish council towards the new dishwasher and £400 from Asda towards our Christmas tea party transferred to St Aidan's Communit Centre CIO Sources of income Section F Other optional information Transfer of undertakin s to St Aidan's Commun. Centre CIO On 29 November 2024 we effected the transfer of undertakings from St Aidan's Communty Centre Organisation (registered charity 522040) to St Aidan's Community Centre CIO (registered charity 1205194 with substantially the same objectives). This has the effect of changing the legal form of the community centre organisation, to become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). CIO status allows the community centre to have its own legal personality, separate from the management committee, similar to a limited company. The community centre continues to operate as a registered charity and to operate under charity law. All the assets and liabilities of the old organisation have now been legally transferred to the new organisation. Next steps are to close the old bank account and close the old charty. We aim to do this in the forthcoming months. There should be no impact on users. Financial outlook sin￿ all the undertakings of the communty Cent￿ have been transferred to St Aidan's Community Centre CIO, we expect no I minimal further transactions for St Aidan's Community Centre Organisation.

charity to a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) and as such have
engaged with lawyers to facilitate this conversion (final agreement dated 28
November 2024). A separate set of accounts have been prepared and
reviewed for each entity to acknowledge the interim periods under each
form during the period - and transfer of activities and funds has been
disclosed in both sets of accounts.
The accounts have been reviewed in combination, but due to the mid year
transfer users may find direct analytical review more difficult in short term.
All of the transfers appear reasonable, and costs and income relatively
aligned to prior years when looked at on an overall basis.| **Oct 2018** 2 **IER**
