Chudleigh Community Project

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2020

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).

Chudleigh Community Project (CCP) is a Registered Charity No 900204. The registered address of the charity is Coombe Moor, Rock Road Chudleigh, Devon TQ13 0JJ. It is run according to its constitution dated 29 April 2010.

CCP is administered by a general committee. Full committee members are also the Charity's Trustees.

At the start of the 2020 financial year the committee had been elected at the previous Annual General Meeting of 24th October 2019. At that meeting, Martyn Vosloo agreed to remain as Chair, Rick Ward as Treasurer and Alison Palmer as Secretary. All were re-elected. In addition, David Barnett (Head Teacher of Chudleigh Community Primary School) had retired and had been replaced by Emily England as a committee member (ex officio). Benny Woodlock also agreed to remain on the committee.

At the 2020 Annual General Meeting, held on 21st October 2020 over Zoom due to the pandemic, Martin Vosloo and Benny Woodlock retired from the committee. Rick Ward and Alison Palmer agreed to continue as Treasurer and Secretary respectively. Emily England remained as an ex-officio committee member. Sue Bolt was also elected as a general committee member.

During 2020 the CCP committee met on 11 occasions. The first 3 meetings in person, and the subsequent meetings by Zoom. Pool and hall sub-groups also met in-between some of the committee meetings.

CCP has continued with its objectives to provide community facilities within the parish of Chudleigh by managing the dual use school /community hall out of school hours and running the outdoor community swimming pool.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The Chudleigh Community Project's objectives are to provide community facilities within the parish of Chudleigh through managing the dual use of the community/school hall out of school hours and managing the outdoor community swimming pool. The Chudleigh Community Project also promotes the Devon based 'Villages in Action' arts and drama events throughout the year.

Public benefit

The Trustees are mindful of the Charity Com-mission's guidance on Public Benefit which recommends that all the facilities provided by the CCP should be open to all in the community.

Volunteers

The facilities provided by Chudleigh Community Project are dependent on many people, paid and unpaid, involved in both the operation and fundraising aspects of the charity's work. The continued effective operation of CCP's running of the Community Hall and swimming pool is dependent on a supply of these community minded people who are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Report of the Trustees

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities Community Hall

Julie Tock continued in the voluntary role as Hall Co-Ordinator.

During early 2020 the hall was well used with regular weekly bookings including badminton (four sessions per week), short tennis and taekwondo-do (four sessions per week). Chudleigh Baptists also used the hall for weekly worship. FISH ran activities for children during the school holidays and continued 'wrap around' child care before school hours (after school was held elsewhere). There was also one blood donor session before lockdown.

Due to Covid lockdown, the committee agreed to suspend all hall bookings from 20 March. The first activity to resume was the FISH school holiday club over the summer, and they also came to the Community Hall for their after school club from September. Some other activities also resumed in September but were suspended again from 5 November to 2nd December due to the second lockdown. When open, Covid measures were in place, in accordance with government guidelines; with a Covid Risk Assessment including additional cleaning.

The Hall was also used for arts events early in the year. Angel Heart Puppet Theatre in January, Balagan Café Band performing in March.

CCP caretakers undertook security of the hall, when not furloughed.

Pool

The swimming pool opening was delayed until Saturday 24th July 2020. Covid guidance from Swim England and the government were followed, with an additional Covid Risk Assessment, policies and procedures. All public swimming was pre-booked on an online system (Guestlist). The changing rooms were closed. The kiosk also did not open, and therefore volunteers were not used to staff it. The public timetable consisted of lane swimming and zoned household bubble sessions with restricted numbers. Spectators were not permitted. A single toilet was available (disabled). A number of private hires took place with Covid restrictions in place, including Sammy Seals lessons and FISH holiday club.

The school did not use the pool.

No Senior Lifeguard was appointed. A group of trained employed lifeguards were overseen by Sue Bolt and Mady Willingham, who also provided a raft of Covid compliant policies, procedures and risk assessments.

Pool maintenance was managed by Chris Evans, a volunteer.

Alison Palmer managed the booking system.

The pool season was extended until Sunday 27th September 2020.

Fundraising activities

Chris and Lynn Evans continued to promote music and theatre events for CCP, promoting the Angel Heart Theatre show and Balagan Café Band.

Report of the Trustees

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The accounts for 2020 are appended to this report. The accounts comply with statutory requirements and with the recommendations of the statement of recommended practice (SORP). Pool income was £13,760, a decrease of £6,330 on last year. The pool's total costs were £22,783, made up of running costs of £9,204, wages £9,301, and insurance of £4,278.

Total income for the hall was £7,736 against costs of £3,884, thus showing a surplus.

The trustees continued to control expenditure through reducing energy and staffing costs (two of our major overheads) and enlisting more volunteer help. Excluding any pol refurbishment, the total cost of operating the pool was less than its income.

When payments and income due in previous and subsequent financial years is taken into account CCP increased its financial resources by £8,207 against £3,595 in 2019.

We are grateful that during the Covid-19 pandemic we received monies from Teignbridge District Council, £10,000, and Chudleigh Town Council, £1,500.

Reserves policy

Cash assets totalled £33,440 (£26,116 unrestricted, £7,324 restricted) at the year's end. This compares with £16,448 (£9,124 unrestricted, £7,324) in 2019. It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level sufficient to provide an adequate working capital facility for the pool and the hall for a period of three months. These funds are sufficient to cover the management, administration and support costs and to respond to minor emergency expenditure. Cash assets are reviewed regularly to forecast any shortfall and instigate any fundraising / grant requirements. Ring fenced funds: £3000 from the Bruce Wake Trust for the hoist, £3824 from the CO-OP for the hoist and £500 from Chudleigh TC for the defibrillator.

CONCLUSION

The facilities provided by Chudleigh Community Project are dependent on many people, paid and unpaid and involves both the operation and fundraising aspects of the Charity's work. The continued effective operation of the CCP's running of the Community Hall and swimming pool is dependent on a supply of these community minded people who are becoming increasingly difficult to find. The Trustees are mindful of the Charity Commission's guidance on Public benefit which recommends that all the facilities provided by the CCP should be open to all.

The trustees continue to actively raise awareness in the community regarding the work of CCP and research alternative funding resources and ways in which running costs can be effectively reduced.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Chudleigh Community Project

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Chudleigh Community Project

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Chudleigh Community Project (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do 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 no concerns and 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.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

10. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES

There were no related party transactions for the year ended 31 December 2020.

11. SWIMMING POOL & HALL

The original building cost of the Swimming Pool was £150,000, and per the lease the amount that would be repaid to the Project is reduced by 1/50th for each year of the term completed from February 2000. The cost is therefore being written down over 50 years.

There is dual use of the hall with the school.
