Chairperson's Report
l am pleased to p￿sent the Annual Report and Audited Accounts on behalf of the
Management Committee of Butetown Community Association.
The report outlines both the Centre's f inancial position and key activities, developments and
plans.
l joined the Cornmittee last year and took over a5 the Chair part-way through the year
following the resignation of the former Chair, Hilary Brown. It has been a busy year of
opportunity and challenge in which I have been supported by the Management Committee
f rom the start of my tenure as Chair to review the Centre's plans and operations Wlth a view
to responding to the need to change where needed the Centre's offer to ensure it reflects
current demands and needs and is a welcoming and safe space for all our members, Staff,
volunteers, trustees, service providers and the wider community.
The Committee and I have taken the year to consolidate before moving forwards and have
made ehanges to the Centre in terms of offering more activities, reviewing the membership
offer- which I'm pleased to say has translated into a healthy increase in our membership

numbers, and trialling some new approaches. We are in the process of reviewing our
policies, procedures and prices with the aim of making things simple, clear, consistent and
fair and have begun developing our Business Plan. We are also workinE on our finance
strategy and communication5 and hope you will See more services and activities on offer
and be supported to be kept aware of developments and to share your thoughts and
feedback.
My thanks in the meantime to fellow members of the Management Committee for your
support and for your trust in inviting rne to be Chair, to Carrole and the staff and volunteer
team for all your help and all you do to help people in our communities, to our local
community and to all our members for making me feel so welcome in my role.
I look forward to working Wlth you all in the forthcoming year and seeing more plans come
to f ruition. Onwards and upwards.

Enterprise Unit5 0ndrequl(yr group5
The Enterprise Units remain an important resource for the Community Centre and the many
community organisations who continue to successfully deliver their many different services
and support to the communitv.

the heritage and cultural diversity of Tiger bay and the Docks with an online archive
of photograph5, oral historie5 and resources.

Office spaces - C3SC are a large organisation that supports and develops Card iffs
third sector {charities and voluntary organisationslby provid ing specialist advice,
information and training.
Room Hire
Meeting room hire - previously a regular and crucial income 50urce for the centre, continues
to pose challenges, as during this period room hire has not yet picked up due to
organisations having continued to deliver their services online following the changes
brought on by the pandemic, rendering the need for in person meetings no longer necessary
or cost effect.
The Bar
The licensed bar continues to be one of the Community Centre's most valued assets. As
well as making a signif icant difference to our ability to generate unrestricted income it is
Iso one of the biggest draws to people to use the Centre.
However, the reduction in bookings has meant the bar has seen a reduction in footfall and
thus red uced its contribution to the Centre's income. New activities have started to be
introduced - such as the Supper Club and Bingo sessions- and the Entertainments
Committee 15 trialling a range of activities to increase its contribution to the Centre's
income.
During this period, we remained a significant factor for many in the community, delivering a
range of services, activities and benefits to local people and beyond.

We continue to provide free hall space to local groups for charity, fund raising purposes and
public and health awareness meetings where residents can get information and have their
voices heard.
We are always open to suggestions for community participation from individuals and
organisations.
Membership
Between April 2023- March 2024. we had a total of 141 members.

volunteers, who provide invaluable assistance in delivering our services and activities-
including the food pantry and the Supper Club.

voluntary capacity.

These grant monies were restricted, and therefore have paid for specific activities rather
than core costs. Core costs- including salaries and maintenance - are paid for by the
income raised through room bookings, tenant's rent5 and income raised from event5.
However, the use of the Centre and the income generated has not returned to pre-
pandemic levels. The Committee are therefore reviewing the role of the Centre for the
f uture to be better placed to match provision with current needs and demands.
Meanwhile, the Committee will be reviewing the pricing Structures and prices charged to
ensure they are balanced in terms of being reasonable alongside being suff icient to meet
baslc CQSt5.
Plans for 2024125
l. Look for more external funding and include core 'management and building costs, in

l. Accountrng Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted,judgements and key sources of estimation Un￿rtaInty in the preparation of
the financial 5tatement5 are a5 follows..
al Ba$5$ of weparatlon
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice.. Accounting and
Reportln8 by Charities preparin8 their account5 in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK
and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 issued on 16July 2014.
Butetown Community Assooatlon meets the definltlon of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
A55ets and liabilities are initially recogni5ed at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant
accounting policy notelsl.
There are no si8nif1￿nI judgernents made in the process of applyin8 the entitvs accounting policies. With respect to the
next accounting period 2024-2025 the most significant area of uncertainty that will affect the ￿rryIng 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 investrnents and a150 the perforrnance of the pension funds.
bl Preparation of the accounts on a going concem ba515
The charity has reported a cash inflow for the year of £x although notes that a small deflcitwas recorded for the year.
The charity is currently self-finanan& 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 operation81 existence for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to
adopt the golng concern basis in preparlng its financial statements.
el Income
Fee income
Fee5 receivable are accounted for in the period in which the service is provided.
Deferred incorne- advance fees
Where income is received in 3dvance of meeting any performance related conditions and there 15 not unconditional
entitlement to the income, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income until the performan

Volunteer income- unpaid general volunte•rs
Like rnany charities. we often rely on the contribution of unpaid general volunteers in carrying out our activities.
However. placing a rnonetary value on this contribution present5 518nificant difficultie5. For exarnple. volunteers rni8ht
complement the work of paid staff rather than replace them. These factors, together with the lack of a rnarket
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
a5 income in these accounts.
dl Fund a¢¢ountlng
un￿strICted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. Restricted funds are
donation5 which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular area5 of the charity's work or for specific
artistic projects being undertaken by the charity-
el Expenditure awxl irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once ihere is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to è third party. It is
probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure 15
classified under the following activity headings..
Cost5 of rai5in8 fund5 cornprise the cost5 of rnarketing.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of salaries, and other activities undertaken to further the
purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
