Objectives and activities
To promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Butetown and the neighbourhood without distinction of sex or of political, religious or other opinions, by associating the local authorities, voluntary organisations and inhabitants in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving the condition of life for the said inhabitants.
To maintain and manage, or to co-operate with any local statutory authority in the maintenance and management of the centre for activities promoted by the Association and its constituent bodies in furtherance of the above objects. The Association shall be non-party in politics and non-sectarian in religion.
The trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including guidance "Public Benefit: Running a Charity (PB2)" when reviewing the aims and objectives of the charity and in planning its future activities .
Strategic Report Achievements and performance
The past two years have been extremely challenging for us at Butetown Community Centre as it has been for most small charities and the voluntary sector during this period. The social and economic effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic will continue to be felt in our community for a long time to come, but hopefully we have come through the worst of it, and we are now more than ready to face the challenges ahead of us.
We started this reporting period in much the same way as we ended the last-in lockdown due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. The centre remained closed to the public but we continued to support the most vulnerable in our community through the BAME Emergency Food Box Scheme which delivered over 300 boxes of free food and essential items to the wider community, the scheme quickly expanded to include the provision of essential items and equipment for babies and children as well as clothes and much needed household goods.
As Covid restrictions started to ease, we were able to re-open the centre with safety measures in place on Tuesday 4[th] May 2021.
During this period of immense change and uncertainty we were able to welcome back many (although sadly not all) of the regular groups:
The Butetown Domino and Social Club came back to centre as soon as lockdown restrictions eased. We are thankful for their continued attendance and support as many of this group were deemed vulnerable and many were still shielding. We hope to continue our mutual support of the Butetown Domino Club who provide a vital social club for like minded people to come together to socialise, share a hobby and maintain a cultural tradition.
The Butetown Domino and Social Club also includes many members who came to the UK from Commonwealth countries such as the Caribbean and Africa and form part of the Windrush Generation. We were able to hold three socially distanced Windrush events thanks to project funding from the Home Office and Welsh Government.
The Mentor Ring and Hayaat Women Trust returned to face to face operations and were able to continue their various activities and events throughout the centre.
Meeting room hire usually provides vital income to the centre but this still remains a challenge as many voluntary organisations and businesses continue to work from home and conduct meetings via social platforms, therefore we are yet to see a return to pre-pandemic levels, however some of our regular user groups such as Public Health Wales, United Welsh and the BBC have used the centre recently for meetings and workshops.
Enterprise Units
We now have Tenants in All five of the Enterprise units which provide much needed monthly income for the centre and in return they receive office spaces that are well maintained, inclusive of utilities, discounted function and meeting room hire and are well supported. During this period, we welcomed C3SC to the centre. They are a large organisation that supports and have already proved to be a huge asset to the community.

The Bar
The licenced bar remains as ever, a very valued asset to the Community Centre and a much needed resource for community cohesion, as it brings people together and is an important resource at funerals, events and family celebrations. It is usually our biggest source of income however as to be expected post-Pandemic, we have seen a huge drop in the number of bookings for social events this year.
Our first booking of a social event (a birthday party) came five months after we re-opened. we also saw the return of our

New Projects
We set up several new projects during this period which support and inspire people to:
-
Engage in their local community in a friendly and supportive environment
-
Improve health and well-being
-
Improve their financial resilience and move out of food poverty
-
Combat loneliness and social isolation
-
Help young people to develop social skills, further education and employment
-
Improve their self-esteem and confidence
We have accomplished many of our goals this year in supporting people to achieve their aims and aspirations by:

The project has provided employment and volunteer opportunities for local people and received financial support from The Global Majority Fund, The Community Foundation and The Winter Pressures Fund.

In February, a Girls Youth Night was also created to provide individual emotional health and well-being support for girls in

In the next stage of our continued development we will work on increasing the profile of the centre, further develop our financial position so that it viable and robust so that we will be better prepared for any future unexpected eventualities.

Butetown Community Association Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022
1. Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
a) Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014
Butetown Community Association meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
There are no significant judgements made in the process of applying the entity’s accounting policies. With respect to the next accounting period 2021-22 the most significant area of uncertainty that will affect the carrying value of the assets held by the charity are the level of investment return and performance of the investment market. This will affect both the carrying value of investments and also the performance of the pension funds.
b) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The charity has reported a cash inflow for the year of £x although notes that a small deficit was recorded for the year. The charity is currently self-financing, and the trustees are in the fortunate position that they do not rely on external finance to operate.
After reviewing the charity’s forecasts and projections the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
c) Income
Fee income
Fees receivable are accounted for in the period in which the service is provided.
Deferred income - advance fees
Where income is received in advance of meeting any performance related conditions and there is not unconditional entitlement to the income, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income until the performance conditions are met.
Page 11
Butetown Community Association Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022
Donations and legacies
Donations and legacies receivable for the general purposes of the charity are credited to ‘unrestricted funds’. Donations and legacies for purposes restricted by the wishes of the donor are taken to ‘restricted funds’.
Investment income
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividends due. This is normally upon notification by our investment advisor of the dividend yield of the portfolio.
Volunteer income - unpaid general volunteers
Like many charities, we often rely on the contribution of unpaid general volunteers in carrying out our activities. However, placing a monetary value on this contribution presents significant difficulties. For example, volunteers might complement the work of paid staff rather than replace them. These factors, together with the lack of a market comparator price for general volunteers, make it impractical for their contribution to be measured reliably for accounting purposes. Given this absence of a reliable measurement basis, the contribution of general volunteers is not be included as income in these accounts
d) Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific artistic projects being undertaken by the charity
e) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of marketing.
