report with financial statements of the charty for the year ended 31 December 2022. The financial statements

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
It is my honour on behalf of the Board to again hav8 the opportunity to report to members on the achievements
of Randalstown ARCHES Association and on what lies ahead for us.
A year ago, we were still faced with so much uncertainty with a rapidly spreading pandemic. Our lives since have
changed irreversibly. The pandemic not only shocked us because it made us face the unimaginable but also
temporarily took away what we considered to be ours forever, like the freedom to move, to travel, to meet, to
work in our offices, to go to the cinema or theatre. to go shopping.
It made us feel vulnerable, made us realise that we are not invincible. We took refuge in our homes and merged
our analogue and digital lives into a single life. As individuals, families, and companies, large or small, we had to
lose the fear of digitalisation.
Our office team however were both resilient and inventive and tried to ensure the pandemic had as minimal
impact on us as possible.
Each week of confinement ac￿lerated the passage of time by a year, so that we emerged from the pandemic in
a different world. The way we work, interact with each other. entertain ourselves, shop, infomi ourselves is
already different and will never be the same again.
The internet, social ne￿OrkS, plafforms, and devices have changed the way we engage with each other and
engage with the community. The office team continually keep all our social media channels up to date with
information for the community, events, and courses. The Challenge now is to not forget those in our community
isolated from these forms of communication.
ARCHES Board of Directors
Throughout 2022 1 was assisted on the Board by Peter Boyle Ivice Chair). Eileen Ingram (secretary),. William
Allen (Treasurer)., Moore Blair (Assistant Treasurer)., Helen Boyd- Christine Butler., Sheelagh Hillan,. Martin
Hackett., Liam Hurrell,. Joseph McErlean; Brian McGookin and Jane McTaggart. Oonagh Heatley was co-opted to
the Board in December, and I very much look fO￿ard to working Wlth her in the coming years.
I would like to thank the directors ofARCHES who have worked with me and supported me throughout the year.
l am proud of the way we adapted to rapidly changed circumstances and the way the Board embraced the world
of video conferencing to allow monthly meetings to continue. although we were very pleased to have held in
person meetings from April. Imthout them we could not operate, and I thank them for giving up their time and for
their advice and general input into our organization.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
ARCHES Staff
During 2022 the board was assisted by: _ Hannah Moloney. Opgrations Manager who oversees the work we do
and manages the staff and business interests of Arches. she also took on the role of the accounts and keeping
the day-to-day books in good order after Brian retired last year. She now works closely with Willie Allen to keep
Arches in tip top shape. Unfortunately, Hannah was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year and she continues to
work from home whilst she receives medical treatments. We wish her all the very best with her treatments and
hope she is back to good health very soon.
Sinead Mclvor. Trnining and Media Administrdtor looks after the running of courses, events, and our social media
platforms, and I must take this opportunity to give Sinead a special word of thanks. She has taken up a lot of
extra work whilst Hannah has attended medical appointments or been too unwell to attend in person events.
especially at Festival this year. Sinead did a fantastic job of running this, a giant-feet in itself even more so with it
being the first one post pandemic.
Owen Mcclurkin, Finance and Office Assistant who joined us from a work placement through USEL and works
alongside Hannah inputting accounts data and as51Sting Sinead with admin tssks.
Ergnat McLaughlin, Caretaker and Property Manager looks after all our properties and carries out regular
maintenance- We had a difficult period ending with the eviction of one of our long-term tenants and subsequent
court hearing and prison sentence for the tenant. This was stressful for all involved but I would like to thank
Ergnat for continuing in his duties even when he wanted to quit. He has now renovated the property and a new
tenant will be moving in next week.
Mary Robb, Cleaner makes sure thatARCHES is spick and spanl
We also had Ann McGuiness, Project Manager for 'Well Hello, _ our over 50's Monday club, Ann resigned in
September after more than 20 years working for Arches. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ann for all
her hard work and dedication to the Randalstown community over the years. She will be greatly missed but has
promised to stay in touch.
l on behalf of the Board would like to thank you all for what you have already done durin9 the past three years of
Covid. To get our charity prepared to cope with this 5iluation and forge a way fO￿ard to now get on with living in
a post pandemic world. Your quiet but determined resolve and for the most part good humour, have seen our
businesses function as near to normal as is possible and in fact start to thrive once more. As challenging as
things become this winter, our group is built on solid foundations and at its heart are many people who care
passionately about their community. Your commitment makes all the difference.
ARCHES Facilitles
Throughout 2022 our residential property has been fully occupied. Our commercial propety has also been fully
occupied however one tenant has given notice lo leave in De￿Mber.
Our community spaces had some obvious restrictions on usage for parts of the year however we are delighted to
see groups and courses running once again and often all rooms are booked weeks in advance and it can be
hard to get a booking in if you're not early to Ihe diary! We also continue to support some of the groups with
technical assistance in using video conferencing.
We receive fvnding from Department for Communities and Antrim and Ne￿0WnabbeY Borough Council for the
running of our community hub and we are extremely grateful for this support.
ARCHES Events I Seasonal Actlvlties
Sinead did a wonderful job of running thi5 year'5 festival. We agreed early on that we would very much like to
have as many in person events as was safe to do so, although we recognised people were still cautious of large-
scale events and we had a reduced staff. so Festival was called back a little this year. However, it was so good to
see it return to the streets of Randalstown, to see families and the community all out together to enjoy the
entertainment really brought a smile to many faces.
The Christmas Lights Switch was also a great success. Run in Collaboration with Antrim and Newtownabbey
Borough Council it was brilliant to see families enjoying the evenings festivities as we switched on
Randallstown's lights.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
ARCHES Courses
ARCHES courses continue to be popular not only with the people in Randalstown but in surrounding areas too.
We now have students attending regular courses from right across Northern Ireland. This is a testament to the
quality of training we offer and the relaxed learning environment we provide. Many students comment on how
well they like the centre and the facilities on offer.
Our courses however were not immune to the effects of the pandemic, but we were able to adapt and work with
online plafforms to continue to deliver the high-quality training the community has come to expect from us.
The pandemic offered u5 the opportunity to reflect on the training we have provided over the years. In our 25-
year history we have offered training opportunities for 22 of those years. Training a total of 10.236 students in 40
different subjects. I was personally astounded at this total - having been on the Board for the full 25 years it has
been amazing to see a tiny seed of an idea bloom into the training programme we offer today.
We have seen uptake dwindle a little this autumn and coming into winter months where many people are worried
about the cost of living and extra expenses for courses are not considered essential.
Collaborations
Over the past year we have worked closely with several key groups within the town, namely fidy Randa15town,
Randal Community Shed, Town Team, Randalstown Autism Group. JAM Store and Randalstown Chamber of
Trade. We keenly support all the work of these organisations.
We provide admin support to Tidy Randalstown, Randalstown Autism Group and Randal Community Shed - who
utilize office services and skills of staff on a frequent basis.
Publicity Ilnformation
ARCHES website continues to be maintained by Sinead who has spent a lot of time designing and implementing
a streamlined online image for Randalstown ARCHES. We continue to use social media plafforms - Facebook,
Twitter, In5tagram and more recently- Next Door.
Our community newsletter -ARCHES Outlook- continues to be published quarterly. providing a great means of
communicating with our community. We have just published our 100kn issue.
Finance and Funding
Of course, everything we do at ARCHES would not be possible without the backing and support of our funders.
Without them our work would be much weakened. Department for Communities provide part-funding for our core
costs, including salaries. Antrim and Newiownabbey Borough Council also support some core premi5e5 Costs
along with support for Festival and the Christma5 Lights and this year we received a Technical Assistance grant
to help with conducting a feasibility study for an exciting new project we hope to start on next year.
Thank you to the local traders who are a great help and support to us all year round.
ARCHES has been fortunate to secure a large amount of funding over the years and we are proud of our
reputation amongst funders as a reliable and progressive group that delivers results. In common with many
other community groups throughout the province, ARCHES had the foresight to invest in propety which
continues to provide us with an income in case the day may come where public funding sources were to cease.

our next strategy review and developing some succession planning for the Board. In addition. we have several
projects in the pipeline in conjunction with fidy Randalstown, Peace IV, and Heritage Lottery to improve shared
community spaces and look forward to seeing them come to fruition soon.
Closlng Comments
I'd like to finish by thanking our Board. and all our staff. for their efforts throughout the year. They are the ones
who live our culture and deliver the outstanding seNice that our community value so highly.
Finally, it is always an honour to be the Chairman of ARCHES. In the face of adversity, everyone at ARHCES has
rallied together and responded with determination, resilience, kindness, and compassion. The true measure of an
organisation can often best be seen when it face5 tough challenges, and the team at ARCHES has performed
magnificently. l am humbled to represent our staff and our community, both past and present, who have helped
make ARCHES the successful and respected organisation it is today. l am excited about our future and look

FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES
Due to COVID-19 there were no fundraising events during 2022.
Financial review
Grant income increased during the year, mainly due to the fact that there was extra grants from the Community
Fund and Antrim & Newtownabbey Borough Council. Expenditure in the year increased from £168,386 to
£219,212 this year.
Overall there was a deficit of £36.361 in the year compared to a surplus of £20,439 in the previous year.
Reserves Pollcy and Golng Concern
It is the policy of the charity that unrestrtcted general funds which have not been designated for a specific use
should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month's expenditure. The ideal level of
reserves would therefore be beiween £47,916 and £95,832. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will
ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current
activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. At 31 st December 2022
there was the equivalent to approximately five months running Costs in unrestricted free reserves which is within
the ideal level.
The actual unrestricted general reserves at 31st De￿mber 2022 are £808,733, within these are unrestricted
general funds and unrestricted designated reserve5. These unrestricted designated reserves have been
designated by the Trustees and represent the charity's investment in land and buildings. The balance in
unrestricted general reserve is £82.144. This has decreased from the previous year.

Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilitie5 in accordan￿ with these requirements. We believe
that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Concluslons relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statement5, we have concluded that the Trustee use of the going concern basis of
accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or
conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going
concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concem are described in the
relevant sections of this repprt.
other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements
and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual
report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form
of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider
whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in
the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies
or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement
in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a
material mi55tatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are requlred to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and
Reports) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015 requires us to report to you if. in our opinion:

charity for the purpose of company law. are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being
satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such intemal control as the trustees determine is necessary to

material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or
error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be expeded to influen
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud, is detailed below.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: https:11
www.frc.org.uldauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditovs report.
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees. as a body, in accordance with Section 65(2) of the Charities
(ArKounts and Reports) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might
stste to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them, in an auditor's report and for no other
purpose. In our opinion the statement of accounts complies with the requirements of regulation 8 of the Charities
