Reference and administration details
Broughderg Area Development Association Limited (the charity), is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 7[th] September 2000. It is registered with the Companies Registrar under registration number NI039242. It is also recognised as a charity by the Inland Revenue, XR49843 and registered with the Charity Commission N.I. under reference NIC100139. The trustees and secretary of the charity are listed on the information page. The principal and registered office of the charity is also listed on the information page together with details of the professional advisors and bankers.
Objectives and activities
In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. Broughderg Area Development Association Limited aims to reduce the high level of rural and social isolation and deprivation in the area through regeneration by promoting tourism and through the provision of a community centre which delivers a high quality community environment focusing on the needs of families, elderly, youth, women and children. Marginalised groups (disabled, low income, single parents) within the community have parity of access to the centre and its services. The benefit is the improvement of community life through sports and recreation facilities. The provision of the Community Centre benefits the whole community and the social and economic fabric of the area.
Structure, Governance and Management Organisational structure
Broughderg Area Development Association Limited is a company limited by guarantee and recognised as a charity by the Inland Revenue. In terms of company law, charity law and day to day activities, the company is an independent entity. The trustees meet regularly to direct the operations of the charity.
Governance
During the period under review the trustees met monthly. A panel comprised of existing trustees selects members for the board. Trustees serve for a one year period and may be re-elected for a further one year period.The trustees who served during the year to 30[th] September 2024 are listed on the information page.
Financial Review
The statement of financial activities for the year is set out on page 6 of the financial statements. Income for the year was £12,937 [2023: £13,936] and expenditure was £30,777 [2023: £27,077).

Broughderg Area Development Association Limited
Reserves policy
The charity’s policy on restricted funds is to separately record donations, grants and other sources of fundraising where restrictions are imposed that are narrower than the charity’s overall objectives
The trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets or designated for specific purposes (“the free reserves”) held by the charity should be between six and nine months of the resources expended. At this level, the trustees consider that they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in income. It would also be necessary to consider how the income would be replaced, or activities changed. At the balance sheet date, the free reserves did exceed the minimum amount.
Achievement and performance
The community centre is used on a regular basis and continues to be a focal point for community life.
Taxation
As a charity, the company is not liable for corporation tax on its income or on capital gains to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects.
Statement of trustees’ responsibilities in respect of the annual report and the financial statements
The trustees are responsible for preparing the financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view, in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice of the state of affairs of the charity and of the statement of financial activities of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements the officers and members of the committee are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements:
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for the keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and that help ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Risk management
The trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to manage those risks.
Plans for the future
The directors remain confident that the current level of performance will be improved in the future and it is the Trustees’ intention to develop the present activities of the Company.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As the charity trustees (and also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 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:
-
examine the accounts under section 65 of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
I have examined your charity accounts as required under section 65 of the Charities Act and my examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act. The examination included 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 you as charity trustees concerning any such matters.
My role is to state whether any material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe:
-
That accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006
-
That the accounts do not accord with those accounting records
-
That the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to the charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland
-
That there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination and have no concerns in respect of the matters (1) to (4) listed above and, in connection with following the directions of the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland, I have found no matters that require drawing to your attention.
