TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

a

We pride ourselves on being a place where people of all ages in the community can attend classes and events, or even host their own celebrations. From karate to art, dancing to knitting and singing to keep fit, we have something for everyone. Alongside this we regularly host live events and shows as well as community meet ups for all ages.

The following strategies enable the Association to achieve its objectives, as follows:

The Trustees pay due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Association should undertake

Volunteers

The Association has a growing number of volunteers who support community activities run by the Association. Volunteers’ roles have included help with meet and greet, stewarding at shows, preparing and serving refreshments, delivering programme leaflets, gardening and providing support with repairs and removal of aged equipment.

The Trustees are all volunteers drawn from the local community and the support received by all our volunteers is priceless and we are so very grateful for their involvement.

Achievements and Performance

In 1946 the Pelsall Community Association was formed and the Pelsall Community Centre was officially opened on Ath September 1965 by Sir AlfredOwen, CBE. The original grounds for the centre were part of the Oaklands House Estate on Station Road, previously owned by the Binns Family as well as Thomas Starkey. In 1974 the building was extended when the Oaklands Lounge & Bar were added.

The Association continues to develop a choice of well attended classes for adults and children, that cater for local people seeking recreational leisure opportunities and learning. Activities focusing on health and well-being and reducing isolation are really important and our involvement with the Friendship Café is one of the ways this is addressed

Principal Funding Sources

The Association is now in a much stronger position to move forward with its provision for the local community and saw an increase in weekly lettings for its core groups (including classes for babies and their mums, keep fit and dance classes to mention but a few), grants and funding by Walsall Council, Box Office receipts for the fabulous live shows, the Inspire Foundation for its provision of childcare for parents during the school holidays, craft fayres which have proved a great success and are well attended by both stall holders and community members.

The Association continues to work closely with other organisations providing external funding support and actively aims to seek new partnerships in line with the needs of the local community.

Whilst funding continues to be a concern, the Trustees are committed to providing activities and services at a reasonable cost to customers and realise new strategies must be adopted to address any shortfall in the budget.

The Association continues to undertake a planned maintenance programme to facilitate the annual repairs and decoration needed to keep the centre fresh and well presented. The year has seen the Association install a new catering kitchen and air conditioning which have put the Centre in a good place for the future. Our spending on repairs and other maintenance this year continues to impact on our funds but the Trustees have worked hard on the implementation of new procedures and closely watched the forecast budgets to ensure that all future responsibilities of the Centre can be met.

The Trustees look forward to the next twelve months and where the future will take us.

The trustees’ report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

PELSALL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

Charity information

Pelsall Community Association is a charity registered with Charity Commission. The registered office is the Community Centre , Station Road, Pelsall, Walsall, WS3 4BQ.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the the Charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP “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)". The the Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The Charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a statement of cash flows.

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2. Going concern At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the the Charity.

1.4 Income Income is recognised when the the Charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the the Charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the the Charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset's use.

1.6 Property, plant and equipment

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold land and buildings Not Depreciated Fixtures and fittings 15% reducing balance basis

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

PELSALL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

a 1Accounting policies (Continued)

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the the Charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.9 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the the Charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the the Charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
