Structure, governance and management
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 17th October 2005, accepted as a charity by HM Revenue & Customs under reference number XR44321 and registered with the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland on 1st April 2016 under charity number NIC104883. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which states the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.
Objectives and activities
The charitable purpose of the company is: The advancement of community development in Northern Ireland (the “area of benefit”) and in particular the promotion of the community and voluntary sector for the benefit by providing services, training, support, information, facilities and amenities to community and voluntary groups and encouraging and assisting such groups and organisations to co-operate to achieve their aims.
(1) To develop the capacity and skill of residents of communities in the area of benefit that suffer social and economic disadvantage, in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and participate more fully in society.
(2) The advancement of health and well-being.
(3) To promote good community relations, religious and racial harmony and equality and diversity.
(4) To promote such other charitable purposes as may from time to time be determined.
CRUN was established in September 1999 as a network of local community and voluntary groups with the aim of enabling regeneration and encouraging sustainability in local communities through community development processes. The network has worked tirelessly since it was established and currently has a database of over 240 organisations with more coming forward every year. Many changes have taken place over the years and CRUN currently implements a range of training and mentoring programmes in Community Development, Good Relations, Substance Misuse Education and Prevention and Positive Mental Health and encourages an ethos of collaborative working and sustainability to all of its members. Programmes and projects are delivered based on evidence and identified need within the Causeway Coast and Glen’s area.
The charity's trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland's guidance on public benefit.
Achievements and performance
CRUN has maintained a level of funded projects to enable the organisation to continue to support the community within the Causeway area. We have adapted our way of working, since the global pandemic and now have a hybrid way of connecting and also engaging with individuals and community groups in the area.
The continued support from the Department of Communities has enabled CRUN to retain its core staff to oversee the current projects, as listed below, and apply for further funding to 'Empower People Develop Communities Enable Change'
During 2022/23 the projects have adapted and continued to excel within the communities that they support.

The FareShare scheme has been a great asset to many young people and their support networks. The FareShare scheme operates out of Room One (the room acquired by YEAR and designed and decorated by our Youth Management Board) some parents/siblings also helped with a bit of the decorating. The FareShare scheme has allowed YEAR to support young people and their families during the cost-of-living crisis. Everything from weekly food packages to ensuring young families had enough over Christmas to be able to afford heat, electricity, presents for children and food instead of having to choose between presents and food. Parents of young people are supported through the FareShare scheme which decreases the amount of stress in the family home making home life more manageable for both the young people and their support networks.
The pop in facility in Room One also provides a safe space for young people to call in to when they just feel the need to have a bit of their own space. The youth team purposefully built the pop in facility and FareShare scheme around each other based on the identified needs of the young people involved with YEAR.
The Brake Project has worked directly with 18 young people since 1 April 2021. We have been able to offer a variety of support to the participants who are engaging including; small group training sessions, 1:1 training sessions, group activity sessions and fortnightly 1:1 goal setting / review sessions.
Group Training Sessions - Within these sessions we have continued to deliver a range of accredited training programs to the participants including OCN Good Relations Training
1:1 Training sessions - theses session are beneficial to some of the young people, they enable the team to get a better understanding of the individual needs and how to integrate into a group setting.
Group Activity Sessions - group sessions take place twice weekly and involve team building activities, healthy eating, cookery and building up essential life skills.
1:1 Support Sessions - These sessions have been completed on a fortnightly basis during the past quarter given the complexity of the challenges which these participants are facing. The sessions take place in local coffee shops, walks on the beach / park to provide a more relaxed informal setting. They continue to address goal setting and reviews and also include support regarding finance, work experience feedback, job application support and interview skills
Spring Programme
The Spring programme continued throughout 2022-23 with the social prescriber receiving referrals from GP and Primary Care providers in the legacy Coleraine Borough Council area for support with - social isolation, low level mental health, chronic pain and physical inactivity. The target number of referrals from was 60.
Referrals were very busy with referrals coming from predominately the MDTs now in place in most of the practices throughout the catchment area. CRUN have continued to provide bespoke programmes that have been tailored to the needs of those referred. We have provided workshops on the themes of therapeutic arts, - painting, creative writing, stress management, social cafes, nutrition support and gentle exercise. We have made a conscious effort to get more people back meeting in person, as this helps with social isolation and mental health. We also provided sessions called 'Better Days' which help people dealing with chronic pain.
We continue to help support programmes with funding from a variety of sources - such as the Causeway GP Federation and the Community Development & Health Network.
Suicide Prevention small grants provide much needed support to 11 community organisations/groups and helped over 500 beneficiaries and numerous volunteers providing 1050 volunteer hours for the groups. Some of the activities included in the grant applications have been for people and communities to socialise again in a safe environment. The Community based Suicide Prevention Development Officer's (SPDO) is a joint community resource between CRUN and NACN with the aim of protecting and improving mental health and wellbeing whilst reducing health inequalities. Suicide prevention is a key priority of the CRUN/NACN SPDO which requires action across many sectors including working across early years, education, health, schools, communities, sports clubs and churches.
CRUN has also individually worked with many groups offering advice and support on Capacity Building, Partnership Working, Grants Applications, Financial Good practice, Mentoring Support, Charity Commission Applications & Risk Assessment Procedures, which was made more difficult during the pandemic. Twelve community groups have availed of annual accounts preparation and independent examination as required by the Charity Commission.

Financial review
The results for the year are contained in the financial statements from page 8. The Network has continued to receive funding from various government agencies and funders to support the varied work that they undertake. This has been received through various tender and grants processes. The reserves of the organisations have been maintained at a constant level to enable it to continue for a short period of time in the event of them being unable to obtain funding, this also ensures that the Company can meet its legal redundancy requirements.
Plans for future periods
Hopefully the pandemic will start to have less of an effect on the population and we will return to a new normal, with groups being able to meet up. The trustees will continue to build on what Causeway Rural & Urban Network has established over its 30 years and maintain its core values and objectives to ensure the continued development within the communities of the Causeway area and beyond.

Year ended 31 March 2023
I report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023, which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position and the related notes.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) 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;
- to 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
- to 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 included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters.
My role is to state whether any material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe:
1.
That accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006
2.
That the accounts do not accord with those accounting records
3.
That the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the 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.
4.
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.
Since your charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of 'named body' which is one of the listed bodies.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31 March 2023
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in Northern Ireland and a registered charity in Northern Ireland. The address of the registered office is 1 Brook Street, Coleraine, BT52 1PW.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
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
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
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:
Fixtures, fittings & equipment
-
20% reducing balance
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.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity 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, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. 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.
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.
