Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2025, in compliance with s414C of the Companies Act 2006.
Financial review
Policy on reserves
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months expenditure. 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. This level of reserves has not been maintained throughout the year.
Funds in deficit
The trustees are disappointed with the financial performance of the charity during the year. This is predominately due to the increasing challenges facing similar charities operating in the vacuum left following the absence of a functioning government at Stormont. The trustees believe that the reinstatement of a functioning goverment has yet to fully address the issues and funding shortfalls facing the entities providing assistance and much needed facilities to those suffering social challenges. The trustees anticipate that these deficits can, with appropriate funding in place, put the charity onto an improved financial platform.
Principal funding sources
The charity generates the majority of its income from the operation of its Scribbles day nursery.
The major external funders are Belfast City Council and Department of Health.
An overview of how these funds have been utilised is shown in the Statement of Financial Activities and the related notes.
The strategic report was approved by the trustees of the charity on 25 November 2025 and signed on its behalf by:
Mrs C Hanna Company secretary and trustee

Trustees' Report
The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements and auditors' report of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Objectives and activities
Objects and aims
The objects of the charity are to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Taughmonagh without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race, or of political, religious or other opinions, by association together the said inhabitants and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.
The charity aims to organise senior citizens activities, provide support regarding benefits and rights, address local housing issues, inprove the local environment, make the community a "safer" place, improve education in the area and provide interaction between business and the local community. It also runs a youth programme, educational programmes, supports the local social club and operates a community resource centre which will provide general information to residents of the local area. The charity provides a day nursery, a creche and a playgroup which aim to make childcare affordable and give opportunity for parents to seek work. The charity also runs various health initiatives and employs a part time health worker to address health issues.
Objectives, strategies and activities
The charity has successfully developed strong links with Belfast City Council and the Belfast Health Trust to ensure the sustainability of its programmes. It has also initiated strong partnerships with the Benmore and Annadale communities to support its role of a networking organisation, promoting its long term sustainability. Youth programmes have expanded and cross border links with Manorhamilton in Country Leitrim have supported a developing communities relations role. The day nursery has now been opened for more than ten years.
The charity obtained planning permission and secured OFMDFM for funding a £1m capital build to support nursery expansion, create a health centre and an additional gym, sports hall and meeting rooms. Work commenced on this project in mid 2017 and was completed in 2019.
The charity has continued to engage and sought to update its health and safety policies, human resource management and financial procedures.

Trustees' Report
Public benefit
The charity's vision is for a sustainable, safer and healthier local community.
The charity's approach and model brings about concurrent social, economic and environmental benefits, providing the synergy to address fundamental societal issues. In order to achieve this, the charity is in constant contact with the local residents and wider community in order to communicate the aims and objectives of the charity. This process also gives opportunities for the residents and wider community to petition the charity with ideas and suggestions to aid and benefit the locale.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charities Commission for Northern Ireland.
In line with its stated aims and objectives, as noted above, the trustees are confident that the charity is undertaking activities which provide public benefit to those who avail of its services and facilities.
Use of volunteers
The charity used appoximately twenty volunteers per week during the year, each working between one and six hours per week. Volunteers mainly worked with senior citizens, youth and children. The charity acknowledges the valuable contribution that volunteers make to its activities.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the charity will continue to operate as a going concern. As a result of some historical deficits, the charity is reliant upon the continued support of its funders. However, in view of the current surplus, there is an element of easing with the previous disquiet surrounding going concern, However, with the anticipated impact of the Healthy Business Centre, the trustess are confident that this support will continue for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, it is hoped that following the cessation of the political impasse at Stormont, ultimately improved funding structures will be put in place for the such facilities and services provided by the charity. The trustees have reviewed the charity finances going forward, which give them some comfort on the financial performance of the charity. Additionally, the trustees are currently taking steps to refocus the strategic direction of the charity in order to address the financial position. On this basis, the trustees believe it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Trustees' Report
Financial instruments
Objectives and policies
The charity's activities expose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk, cash flow risk and liquidity risk. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the charity’s policies approved by the board of trustees, which provide written principles on the use of financial derivatives to manage these risks. The charity does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Cash flow risk
The charity’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The charity uses foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swap contracts to hedge these exposures.
Interest bearing assets and liabilities are held at fixed rate to ensure certainty of cash flows.
Credit risk
The charity’s principal financial assets are bank balances and cash, trade and other receivables, and investments.
The charity’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables. An allowance for impairment is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the cash flows. The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
The charity has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of counterparties and customers.
Liquidity risk
In order to maintain liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations and future developments, the charity uses a mixture of long-term and short-term debt finance.
Further details regarding liquidity risk can be found in the Statement of accounting policies in the financial statements.

Trustees' Report
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of Taughmonagh Community Forum Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
The annual report was approved by the trustees of the charity on 25 November 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

2 Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Page 13
Taughmonagh Community Forum Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the charity will continue to operate as a going concern. As a result of recent historical deficits, the charity's reserves have been depleted. There is a material uncertainty related to these events that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The charity is reliant upon the continued support of its funders. The trustees are confident that this support will continue for the forseeable future. The trustees have prepared financial projections and these provide them with some comfort on the future financial performance of the charity. Additionally, the trustees are currently taking steps to refocus the strategic direction of the charity in order to address the financial position. Clearly the opening of the Healthy Business Centre is a key step for the trustees in achieving a return to a healthy financial position. On this basis, the trustees believe it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
Income and endowments
Incoming resources are recognised when the conditions of entitlement, certainty and measurement, as specified in the SORP, are met.
Grants receivable
Grants, which provide core funding, are to used in the furtherance of the charity's objectives generally.
Charitable activities
Incoming resources from charitable activities include monies received for the provision of charitable services, and grants received for the provision of specific services.In the opinion of the trusttes, all grants received have been used for their intended purposes.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure.
Raising funds
Costs of generating funds are the costs associated with generating incoming resources from all sources other than from undertaking charitable activities.
Charitable activities
Direct charitable expenditure is that which is directly in furtherance of the charity's objects.
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Page 14
Taughmonagh Community Forum Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including accounting, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset over its expected useful life, at the annual rate of 5% straight line.
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Page 15
Taughmonagh Community Forum Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
Borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Fund structure
Unrestricted funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustee's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors and funders as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
