The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

To improve the conditions of life of the inhabitants of St Radigunds ward in Dover without distinction of political, religious or other opinions by the provision of facilities for charitable services, recreation and other leisure time occupation.

To the furtherance of the charitable work of the charity by the advancement of such other charitable purposes as the Trustees shall from time to time decide.

Significant activities

During 2025 the Board elected a new Chair, Sandra Inglis, who was keen to start developing the charity acting on feedback gathered from stakeholders during its consultation in 2024 about its limitations and potential.

Two additional Board members, with charity and finance experience, joined the charity late in the year. The senior manager of the charity started a bursary funded Charity Law and Governance Certificate in October as the Board are keen to have the skills for improvement and compliance within the charity.

The Board has met regularly and ensured it has met all its statutory and regulatory obligations. It recognises the importance of its individual and corporate responsibility and works to follow best practice governance frameworks.

This feedback influenced the delivery of a community cost of living course at the centre with funding from Dover District Council. A more proactive use of social media as a place where beneficiaries could find information to provide them with opportunities was implemented with a focus on promoting that we are a charity and answerable to local resident and not local authorities.

The partnership with nearby Buckland Community Centre developed and both centres are now jointly promoted as hireable community venues. The charity continues to talk to other community stakeholders with a view to more joint working, sharing grants to deliver across all wards in the town. The small youth club for teenagers, run by our volunteers, used such an opportunity to be part of an Artworks project which saw them become "Blue Influencers", experiencing photography, wildlife excursions and history tours.

A focus on improving health in the community has delivered new social prescribing sessions delivered in partnership with the Kent NHS Trust, active volunteering with White Cliffs Countryside Partnership. Employment support and training have been provided through the DWP grant funded Disabilities into Work appointments and Qualifications for the Unemployed schemes. Dover Community Radio CIC secured funding from the Port of Dover to move its studio into a room at the centre providing then with a more suitable venue and the charity with valuable extra income but also new opportunities to work together and engage with the community and promote the charity and its work.

This has seen an impact too:

Free community social opportunities - 188 hours

Free / low-cost health & fitness activities - 251

Free training & support services - 925 hours

Activities to attend - 481 hours

Average resident attendance at open activities 50%

Resident young people (13-17 years) regularly attending youth club - 10

Public benefit

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty as prescribed in the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

Charity policy aims to maintain a sufficient level of reserves are in place to ensure the delivery of services. Income for the year was £133,433 and expenditure was £132,500 making overall net surplus for the year of £933.

Total reserves held at 31 December 2025 were £1,187,651 (2024 £1,186,718) of which all of this is unrestricted (2024 all unrestricted).

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and was was set up in November 1999. Its updated constitution was adopted in October 2018.

If the charity is wound up, each member of the charity is liable to contribute to the assets of the charity, such amount (but not more than £1) as may be required for payment of the debts and liabilities of the charity contracted before that person ceases to be a member, for payment of the costs, charges and expenses of winding up, and for adjustment of the rights of the contributing members among themselves.

Organisational structure

All the directors of the charity are also trustees of the charity, and there are no other trustees. All of the trustees who served during the period are named under the reference and administrative details.

There must be at least three charity trustees. If the number falls below this minimum, the remaining trustee or trustees may act only to call a meeting of the charity trustees, or appoint a new charity trustee.

The board of trustees has the power to appoint trustees as it sees fit. Every appointed trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees.

In selecting individuals for appointment as appointed charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the charity.

The charity is organised in such a way that trustees meet regularly in order to manage its affairs whilst day to day

responsibility is delegated to the centre manager, Susan Jones.

Decision making

Any decision may be taken either: at a meeting of the charity trustees; or by resolution in writing or electronic form, agreed by all of the charity trustees, which may comprise either a single document or several documents containing the text of the resolution in like form to each of which one or more charity trustees has signified their agreement.

Induction and training of new trustees

The charity trustees will make available to each new charity trustee, on or before their first appointment:

- a copy of the current version of this constitution; and

- a copy of the charity's latest Trustees' Annual Report and statement of accounts.

Risk management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

The trustees review the risks which the charity faces through its risk register which is reviewed periodically.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 9 June 2026 and signed on its behalf by:

S Inglis - Trustee

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of St. Radigunds Community Centre Company ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts 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 your 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

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 Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

2.	the accounts do not accord with those records; or

3.	the accounts 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 accounts 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.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to charitable companies subject to the small companies regime.

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Trustees and authorised for issue on 9 June 2026 and were signed on its behalf by:

S Inglis - Trustee

1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

St. Radigunds Community Centre Company, a company limited by guarantee, is an incorporated charity registered in England. The charity's registered numbers, principal address and nature of operations can be found in the Reference and Administrative Details on page 1.

The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity.

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':

•

the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.

Income from trading activities includes income earned to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.

Income from grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:

Freehold property 2% Reducing Balance

Fixtures and fittings 18% Reducing Balance

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
