Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)
Year Ended 31 March 2025
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purposes of company law, present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025 .
Objectives and Activities
The objects of the charity are to promote any charitable purpose for the benefit of the community of Teesdale, by associating together volunteers, in particular aged between 14 and 25, and organisations in a common effort to advance education, protect health, relieve poverty and sickness.
The TCR Hub is open Monday to Saturday. The opening times vary according to the needs of community and private bookings. The charity provides regular activities for a range of groups every week. A timetable of activities can be found on our website www.tcrhub.co.uk.The charity also runs one off events and activities themselves and on behalf of other organisations and individuals.
Chair's Report
My tenure as Chair of the Board of Trustees comes to a close this year. I have seen TCR Hub grow from strength to strength during a period of incredible financial and governmental pressure placed upon funding Charitable organisations. The last two financial years have proven to be incredibly difficult to maintain the position and grow the business, mainly through the challenging and competitive shrinking grant-funding pot for project lead activities which are staples to the organisation, yet the application and dedication of all the staff and volunteers has helped with the transition away from the reliance of funded projects to more commercial activities.
Secondly, the running costs of the business increase year on year; over the last few years we have seen energy prices rise exponentially and employee costs imposed by the current government all leading to a squeeze in profits. Times will change again and the Hub has an ability to adapt and remain nimble.
I have had the pleasure of working alongside some wonderful fellow Trustees, employees and volunteers within the organisation but I would especially like to thank Rachel Tweddle for her dedication, vision and execution of her role over the last 11 years; I know it was not an easy decision for her to make and I would like the formal thanks from me and the TCR Board to be recorded. I would like to wish Rachel every best wishes for her future.
Sarah Gent and Jonny Elliot have taken over the joint responsibility for the Operational Management of the Hub with Rachel involved strategically for the time being. Both are very capable within this role and their communication as a team is proving to be successful. As far as I am concerned the future of TCR Hub is in very competent hands.
Lastly, I would like to thank the Trustees for their incredible hard work and support and wish the new Chair every during her tenure.

Achievements and Performance
Chief Executive's Report
I am sorry to say that this will be my last report as CEO of Teesdale Community Resources . After over a decade of managing this incredible charity I have now moved on to another area of work within the Community. When I first began working for TCR I had just moved to Teesdale and hardly knew a soul. Keith 'Joe' Jones invited me along to a Community Meeting about reopening a new YMCA Youth Drop in for Barnard Castle and from then on I was roped in as a Youth Worker. This suited me fine alongside my my daytime role as a Secondary Teacher in Staindrop and I continued working in this way until 2013. I loved working alongside the TCR team delivering youth work at UTASS, Cotherstone and the YMCA as well as on Birch Road, Harmire Estate and the Witham where TCR was based for periods of time.
It was not in the plan to become the Manager of TCR but as it happened, a series of unfortunate, or perhaps in some cases fortunate, events led me to take on the role in 2014. By this point we were based at the brand new Community Hub and Andy Yeadon had put in place a great deal of strategies and plans to ensure that a solid foundation was laid for me to work from. The start was rocky to say the least, with a large financial deficit, less than complimentary reputation locally and regionally and a fair bit of mistrust within the community. Although many people were extremely fond of TCR and the staff team, many could not get their head around the purpose of the Hub.
Over the last decade we have worked tirelessly to improve the reputation of the Charity, build good quality relationships and partnerships both locally and nationally. We have seen ups and downs with the finances. The footfall is now massive compared to ten years ago and when you take a real good look around the premises you see a bustling, thriving, welcoming Community Hub. The whole staff team and volunteers are extremely dedicated and hard working and always have the service user's best interests at at heart.
The last financial year has been one of our most difficult. I have wrestled with leaving but know that a Charity requires new life, new ideas and to move forward rather than stay with the same old. I am still supporting the team with funding and finances whilst we look at our Management Structure and the future plans for the Organisation. Due to the hard working team that TCR has, the Commercial and Service Led footfall has never been so big. Our reputation across the region is now positive, with partners asking to work alongside the organisation and customers coming to us on word of mouth recommendations.
However, we cannot be complacent. The running costs for every organisation has increased within the last 12 months, with rises in employment costs, consumables and external service costs such as utilities. For those with a Building, it is becoming increasingly difficult to balance the books and the next 12 months will be another tough period for TCR to work through.
In recent months Jonny Elliott and Sarah Gent have been sharing joint responsibility for the Operational Management of the Hub and have been doing a sterling job of this. Our Trustees have also worked hard over the last Financial Year to ensure consistency and stability for the staff and fellow volunteers. Sadly our Chairperson Chris Arundel is now stepping away from the Charity after a long period as Trustee and most recently as my Line Manager. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Chris for his support and dedication to TCR.
Financial Review
Income for the year was £382,962 (2024 - £411,579) and expenditure was £433,411 (2024 - £457,640) giving an overall deficit of £50,449 (2024 - £46,061). This comprises a deficit of £75,658 on unrestricted funds and a surplus of £25,209 on restricted funds.
The trustees wish to hold reserves of between 3 and 6 months running costs which currently equates to between £100,000 and £200,000. At 31st March 2025 reserves totalled £43,650.
Prior Year Adjustment
Since the year end it has been identified that the property known as the Hub was not, as previously believed, transferred to this charity from the unincorporated charity of the same name (charity number 1084013) in May 2017 when the rest of the charity's assets and liabilities were transferred. For this reason it has been necessary to remove the value of the property from the balance sheet using a prior year adjustment (see note 21 to the accounts). Steps are being taken to find a resolution to this matter as quickly as possible and we are hopeful that this will be achieved during 2026 when the value of the property can be reinstated onto this charity's balance sheet.
Structure, Governance and Management
Teesdale Community Resources is a registered charity and limited company. On 1st May 2017 the activities, assets and liabilities were transferred to the charity from the unincorporated charity of the same name. The charity runs a purpose built community and youth facility called the TCR Hub. The centre was opened to the public in 2010. The charity is governed by a Board of Directors who meet at least quarterly, and is chaired by one of the trustees. The Board of Directors has 6 members with expertise ranging from finance to property to enterprise and charity and community work.
Public Benefit
Our main activities and who we help are described elsewhere in this report. All our charitable activities are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit. The Committee have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit throughout the year when deciding on the activities of the charity.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Teesdale Community Resources
Year Ended 31 March 2025
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Teesdale Community Resources ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025.
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 the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).
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 accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. Independent Examiner's Statement
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
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 have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year Ended 31 March 2025
1. General Information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is The Hub, Ing Lane, Shaw Bank, Staindrop Road, Barnard Castle, DL12 8TA.
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. The trustees consider that there are no significant estimates or judgements affecting these financial statements.
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.
Income
All income is 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.
Expenditure
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.
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:
Project Equipment
-
25% reducing balance
Office Equipment
-
25% reducing balance
No depreciation is provided on freehold property as the property is maintained to such a standard that any depreciation would be immaterial.
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.
Financial Instruments
The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
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.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Accrued income and tax recoverable is included at the best estimate of the amounts receivable at the balance sheet date.
Cash at Bank and in Hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Taxation
The company 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 company 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.
4. Limited by Guarantee
The company is limited by guarantee. At 31 March 2025 there were 6 members each of whom had undertaken to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 in the event of a winding up.

21. Prior Year Adjustment
Since the year end it has been identified that the property known as the Hub was not, as previously believed, transferred to this charity from the unincorporated charity of the same name (charity number 1084013) in May 2017 when the rest of the charity's assets and liabilities were transferred. For this reason it has been necessary to remove the value of the property from the balance sheet using a prior year adjustment. This had led to the value of the balance sheet falling by £5,380,000.
