## **1. Objectives and Activities** 

## **Going further for the people of Fenham** 

Our community is at our heart, we are not just a community centre – we are the centre of our community. FAR has been serving residents of Fenham since 1988, we operate from a purpose-built accessible community centre in the heart of Fenham in the West End of Newcastle upon Tyne. 

Our aim is to help people go further, providing support, direction, hope, encouragement and praise; we are here for them every step of the way. We passionately believe in what we do, responding to situations, driving change, and providing opportunities for our community to enhance their lives. 

_Fenham Association of Residents is a registered charity, which began in May 1988, our aims are:_ 

- To provide a focal point for local people on low income to break down social isolation 

- To provide a range of opportunities for learning and recreational activities, to build self- 

- confidence and develop new skills 

- To meet the needs of different age groups in the community: elderly people, disabled 

- people, families, single parents, children and young people 

- To improve the quality of life for residents living in the area 

- To promote a sense of community 

- To identify local issues and follow them up in partnership with other agencies

## **2. Aims of the Charity** 

## **Objectives, strategies and activities for the year** 

During this year, we began to emerge from the pandemic with more sessions, activities and projects being re-established for our community. We found a number of issues with this, many older people found the transition very challenging and uncertain, with many older people needing a lot of support to return to centre based activities. Children and young people groups are now fully returned and the opposite impact has been recorded with significantly higher than pre-pandemic attendances in our holiday clubs, after school groups and projects. We also noted that this year recorded a major increase in the number of children receiving free school meals, we’ve been very grateful to our funders for helping us to meet these challenges. 


We have finally been able to make progress towards our capital project and hope that this positive addition to our centre will be completed in the Winter 2022. 

One impact of the pandemic has been the reduction to our revenue, many hirers of the centre, projects, bookings and training courses which were face to face based have not resumed. It will take our organisation time to recover from the pandemic, but we hope with the new capacity to our main hall we can find new partners to help our centre move back to becoming more sustainable.

## **3. Public Benefit Statement** 

The trustees/directors have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and are confident that the organisation’s aims, objectives and activities are in accordance with the guidance on public benefit. 

Our activities and achievements as outlined demonstrate our commitment to ensuring that the organisation’s resources and activities maximise the potential benefit to our local community.. 

## **4. Policy on Grant Making** 

## **We are not a grant giving organisation** 

## **5. Policy on Social Investment** 

## **Not applicable** 

## **6. Contribution by Volunteers** 

Since FAR’s inception in the early 1980’s it has been lead and driven forward by local residents. Our management committee is made up of local women from our community who are committed to developing and improving our community, this commitment not only helps our organisation be reflective of local concerns it also enables our vision to match closely to the needs of the residents we are here to serve. Our volunteers perform a wide range of services within our community, from helping at community garden and allotment, being a trustee, working with children and young people, supporting older people, or supporting with food surplus donations the volunteers help compliment the work we do and bring new ideas, enthusiasm and support. We are so grateful for their engagement and support to our organisation.

## **7. Achievements and Performance** 

## **CIC Children and young peoples’ Network (NE)** 

In 2022, the directors of the network took the difficult decision to close the network, the network had been a vibrant addition to our portfolio of work specializing in support to organisations, children and young people. However, the networks ability to be sustainable was massively impacted by the pandemic as foundations and trusts that had previously supported the work focused on post pandemic causes it was not possible to continue the network. We are really grateful to the directors, funders, volunteers and people who engaged with the network during its six years of operation. (The network was officially dissolved on 28[th] June 2022). 

## **Food Surplus** 

In a post pandemic era, we are now facing another challenge with the cost of living crisis, the need for help for such a wide range of people has meant that FAR Community Centre has continued to provide food surplus support to residents. This has been a combination for working with Newcastle city council’s public health team, fareshare, neighbourly, local shops and supermarkets, even residents have donated towards our food surplus project. We aim to continue to develop this project and continue to work with local partners to help low income families cope with this crisis.

## **SEN and Disability** 

We continue to be an inclusive project and we have been delighted to continue to work closely with Pass it on Parents from Skills for People, this invaluable service provides help, advice and support to parents/carers from professionals who have a lived experience. Our centre continues to support a range of children, young people and adults with numerous learning disabilities, physical disabilities and behavioral difficulties. We continue to access training for our staff and volunteers to ensure they have the information they need to provide appropriate support and guidance. Our centre continues to be an inclusive space, which has a number of technologies and equipment focused on inclusion and therapy, which range from a sensory space, accessible lift, accessible doors, and changing space toilet, changing table and mobile hoist. 


## **Children, young people and holiday activities.** 

In post pandemic era, one of the most encouraging aspects has been returning to supporting groups of children and young people, although our work with children and young people continued throughout the pandemic, we were not able to provide the kind of support we wanted to, or engage with the numbers of children and young people who needed our help. Funders have been critically important to this work, enabling us to provide a range of educational, skills, learning and leisure support for children and young people and additional funds around holiday hunger have been essential to provide children and young people who would normally receive free school meals with a access to a free dinner, snack and fruit. Although this has put additional pressure upon our organisation our play and youth work team and volunteers have been incredible and supporting new and existing children and young people into our centre.

## **Adults and older people** 

This year we were able to begin to support older people with day trips, outings and visits, this was a great way for older people to once again engage with our centre and for some older people the day trips were the first opportunity for them to go anywhere since before the pandemic started. 

Nearly all groups aimed at adults, older people and informal education have resumed although our trustees made the decision to modify our lunch club to a bingo social, the idea was this might appeal more to people who did not want to spend a long time in an enclosed space and had less appetite for meals/dinners. 

We hope that moving into 2022/23 we can continue to provide support for older people and continue with day trips, social and learning activities to help combat isolation and loneliness. 

## **GO FAR Nursery and Pre-School** 

The nursery undertook an ownership change during 2022, although they are a business independent of our charity we work very closely with them since they commenced operating in 2016. We look forward to supporting the new ownership and hope they will go from strength to strength. The nursery continues to be an Ofsted rated ‘Outstanding’ provision. 

## **Evaluation and outputs** 

Fenham Association of Residents internally evaluates all of our projects during the year and reports back to all funders about our progress. We often externally evaluate dependent upon agreements with specific funders

## **8. Fundraising** 

The Society of the Sacred Heart, Community Foundation Tyne and Wear and Newcastle city council continue to be essential funders to our project, without their help we could not deliver the wide ranging support we offer to our community. As our earned income has not recovered from the pandemic the support we have had has been invaluable to us. It has meant not making reductions to our team or to our community expectations. The demands for our services have been at a record high, so without the grant aid we have received it would not have been possible for us to meet these challenges. We are extremely grateful for the support, encouragement and positive feedback to our organisation. 

Many of the achievements we have mentioned in this year report have only been made possible because of the exceptional support our charity has received. 

In 2022/23 we will finally conclude our capital development project which has been supported by a range of funders, this will enable us to increase our nursery’s capacity to include younger children and more children with SEN needs. It will also give us a new space in the centres main hall to showcase new projects, pop up enterprises and ideas. We are really excited about the new capacity and what is might mean for our centre and the community we support. 

We continue to be a not for profit charity, so any fundraising, donations or support is put back into providing activities and services for our community.

## **10. Financial review** 

## **Review of the year** 

The results for the year and the charity's financial position at the end of the year are shown in the attached financial statements. 

During the year the Charity had income of £195,505 (2021: £438,654) of which £164,693 was restricted (2021: £305,917) and expenditure of £198,058 (2021: £238,197) of which £165,306 was restricted (2021: £105,409). There was an operating deficit of £2,554 (2021:  surplus of £200,457) of which a deficit of £614 was restricted (2021: surplus of £200,508). 

At 31 March 2022 the Charity had net assets of £636,934 (2021: £639,487) of which £282,999 was restricted (2021: £283,612). 

## **Reserves policy/No reserves reason/Going concern** 

The Trustees consider the level of reserves, £113,571 (2021: £102,031), prudent for the Charity at this time taking into account potential liabilities in the event that the charity ceased. Our Reserves Policy is reviewed annually. 

## **11. Risk Management** 

The  management  committee  has  conducted  its  own  review  of  the  major  risks  to  which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects  and  for  ensuring  the  consistent  quality  of  the  delivery  of  all  operational aspects  of the charitable company. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity. 

## **12. Plans for future periods** 

Fenham Association of Residents is constantly reviewing our funding strategy and is considering short term, medium and long-term goals for the organization. We additionally are reviewing our hall hire and other income generating policies. 

Our organisational aims continue to be the same and our community development work is our priority and will be determined by our management committee, centre users and volunteers. All of our work is subject to available funding and capacity within the organisation. 

We hope that with the completion of our capital building development work we have more revenue streams open to the organisation. We additionally hope that can secure more funding to support our employees and to continue to grow our organisation so our support for the community can continue to be met. 

We hope from an energy saving perspective to secure funding to help us incorporate some energy saving technology into our community building, to reduce our carbon footprint and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. As the CAZ (Clean Air Zone) restrictions come into force in 2023 we will have to consider our existing vehicles (Community mini bus and Food Surplus Van) as they will both incur charges under the new scheme.

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Charity SORP requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of incoming resources and application of resources, including the receipts and payments of the charity for that year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity.

## **FENHAM ASSOCIATION OF RESIDENTS** 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES** 

For the year ended 31 March 2022 

I report on the financial statements of Fenham Association of Residents for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 13 to 25. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- h examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, 

- h to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and 

- h to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- h the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- h the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- h the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a "true and fair" view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I 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 accounts to be reached.
