TRUSTEES. ANNUAL REPORT
for the financial year ended 31 March 2023
The tnjstees present their Trustees, Annual Report, combining the Directors. Report and Trustees, Report, and the
unaudited financial stalemenls for the financial year ended 31 March 2023.
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 'The Financial
Reporting Slandard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and Accounting and Reporting by Charities:
Statement of Recommended practi￿ applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with
the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
The Trustees. Report contains the information required to be provided in the Trustees, Annual Report under the
Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) guidelines. The trustees of the company are also charity trustees for
the purpose of charity law and under the company's constitution are known as members of the board of trustees.
In this report the trustees of Ardmore Rural Communily Associalion present a summary of its purpose, govemance,
activities, achievements and ffinan￿S for the financial financial year 31 March 2023.
The charity is a registered charity and hence the report and results are presenled in a form which complies with the
requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and, although not obliged to comply with the Statement of Recommended
Practice {Charities SORP effective January 2015), the organisalion has implemented its recommendations where
relevant in Ihese financial statements.
Review of Activities. Achievements and Perfomiance
202212023 has been another difficult year. While formal Covid restrictions had been removed, there was still some
nervousness among the wider populalion to congregate in numbers. It may take another year or so for confidence lo
fully return.
The financial support from Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Council once again was crucial to maintaining the work
of ARCA. The Council community development grant of £1,600, together with the Association's own activities including
hire of hall met Ihe recurrent costs. This enabled ACRA to retain a sound financial position during this year.
Ongoing activities during the year included yoga. art classes. bowling and Senior Citizens Group. Once again. ARCA
was very appreciative of some funding received though Loughshore Care Partnership (LCP) to support activities for the
Senior Citizens Group. These groups continue to provide a very necessary social outlet to addressing social isolation.
ARCA will continue to explore new ways in which we can reach out to the wider community and maximise the use of
Ardmore Community Hall.
There has been a significant increase in costs, particularly in relation to electricity, heating oil and insurance. In order
to raise additional funds for the incoming year. a number of events have been planned, including Big Breakfast, and car
boot sale and BBQ. While it is hoped that such events will meet any shortfall in income over expenditure, the
continuing escalating costs are particularly challenging for small community groups.
The Drafi accounts were presented to the AGM. The final accounts prepared by Daly Park Accountants will be shared
with the Committee and any queries arising will be addressed with accountants.
Annual monitoring reports were submltted to the Charities Commission in line with requirements.
Once again, I wish to thank all those who have willingly volunteered their time to ARCA, and have helped out with
activities throughout the year. Particularly, Roberta our Secretary, Ethel our Treasurer. Derek our Vice Chairlgrass
cutter, and Anne who continues to represent ARCA on the Loughshore Care Partnership (LCP) Committee and
organises the Senior group meetings.
ARCA continues to work closely with other rural community groups as opportunities arise, including Derrytrasna.
Birches. Maghery and Aghagallon through LCP .and South Lough Neagh Regeneration Association.
