Objectives and activities

Mission Statement

Our mission is to benefit the inhabitants of Dundrum by providing a welcoming community facility to include all ages, gender, race, political and religious beliefs thus challenging the social normalities of Northern Ireland. We will provide an environment where people can learn from each other through various forms of social education and support with the goal to improve the quality of life in the community.

OBJECTIVES

1. Provide for the inhabitants of the Dundrum area a centre to promote social education by recreation and other leisure-time occupation with the interest to improve the conditions of life for Dundrum residents. 2. Foster cross- community development 3. Foster an atmosphere of support, relationship, resolution, reconciliation and encouragement among parents and their children in Dundrum. 4. Include Christian guidance and assist young people to develop their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual capacities that they may grow into full maturity as individuals and members of society. The religious opinion of each person is respected. 5. Maintain and manage a facility in Dundrum to host activities and education promoted by RIOT.

ACTIVITIES

RIOT activities take place in two buildings:-

RIOT Youth Centre - ongoing programmes included:-

After School Drop In - the youth come and spend time together after school, get assistance with homework, or to relax and play pool, football and ping pong. We are working with other local providers to offer an OCN youth work qualification to our young leaders. (YMCA And Clanmill Housing group). RIOT has slowly moved into the area of mentioning and developing, training for our young people. Although we still run all the usual programs, drop ins, youth hang outs, trips etc. Friday Night Drop In - 100+ young people, divided into two groups, enjoy healthy fun instead of using alcohol, or other substances. (We believe due to the lack of RIOT youth Centre in the community (not being able to open)- we have seen a rise in youth issues surrounding drugs. In connection with PCSP and our local PSNI officer we are working together to reach out as best we can in current circumstances. We Continue to be a huge boost to the local community. Giving our young folk a safe place to hang out and build friendships across the divide.

We have developed community links. More work was done on the grounds; A community garden has been started with support from locals, a Men's shed has been setup connecting with local Healthcare centres to provide a space for those Men particularity needing support. A children's play park has been opened and continues to serve the local community.

More importantly, we see clearly now the important role that RIOT plays as a community hub for many young, old and families.

RIOT House

RIOT House is recognised by the Northern Ireland Tourist Board as a Youth Hostel. Teams, groups and individuals returned in summer 2022 and use the accommodation. This has the potential to become a major source of income in the future.

RIOT JOY Café - Seniors Group

RIOT Joy Café runs weekly on a Thursday morning from 10am - 12noon out of RIOT House. We provide tea, coffee, snacks and simple activities like knitting, board games, adult colouring and a lot of chat. We have held 20 minute low intensity exercise sessions and offered simple hand and nail care.

Year ended 30 April 2023

Some Thursday's we have also served hot lunches to our members. We make sure to celebrate special occasions such as birthdays, Easter and Christmas. We have also used the RIOT minibus to go on outings to shopping centres and the cinema. Regular volunteers oversee the kitchen duties and interact with our members. We average around 20 attendees each Thursday.

Achievements and performance

Activities have been rebuilt following the Covid 19 pandemic.

In September, the Manager was nominated for an award by a local Councillor and received a lovely crystal bowl, with an inscription for Outstanding Community Service.

Financial review

The Charity's main source of funding remains from voluntary donations and community grants. A small amount is gained from income via RIOT House. The Trustees oversee the finances of RIOT and are committed to ensuring sufficient funds are available to support the current organisational activities with an appropriate level of funds maintained for reserves.

Plans for future periods

Develop ongoing projects, to keep providing a service to the community.

We are connecting with the local Village Association to develop connections and serve more people locally.

Year ended 30 April 2023

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of R.I.O.T. Revival In Our Town ('the charity') for the year ended 30 April 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 (the ‘2008 Act’) and the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). You are satisfied that the accounts of the company are not required by charity or company law to be audited and have chosen instead to have an independent examination.

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements as carried out under section 65 of the 2008 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the 2008 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

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

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

I confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

• income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.

• legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.

• income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.

• income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

• expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.

• expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.

• other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Motor Vehicles - 20% straight line Equipment - 20% straight line

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.

Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.

The company is limited by guarantee of members and does not have a share capital. The liability of members is limited to £1
