Trustees' Report

The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Policies set out on page 7 and complies with the Charity’s governing document, applicable law and the requirements of the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019

Reference and Administrative Information

The constitution of the Charity is dated 30 January 1991 and has subsequently been amended on 10 March 1994, 1 September 1994 and 5 December 2011. The Charity was registered with the Charity Commission under Charity No: 1008497 on 25 February 1992.

Governance and Internal Control

Governing Document

The Charity is governed by a constitution agreed by the membership in 2010.

Governance and Decision Making

The body responsible for the management of the Charity is the Board of Trustees which meets on a bi-monthly basis and on other occasions when considered necessary . Each Trustee other than the Chairman is given an area of responsibility and reports to the Board of Trustees at the bi-monthly meetings.

Trustee Recruitment

The Trustees are elected by the existing Trustees with no time limit on their term in office. Nominees are normally recommended by an existing Trustee and approved by all the Trustees.

Internal Control

The Trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring the Charity has appropriate systems of internal control across the entire organization. They are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity, and that the financial statements follow best practice.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and taking reasonable steps for prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The systems of internal control are designed to provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss.

They include:

  1. An annual budget approved by the Trustees.

  2. Regular consideration by the Trustees of the financial results, variances from budget forecast and

    1. performance indicators.

  4. Formal adoption of financial regulations which include delegation of authority and segregation of

    1. duties.

Risks

The Trustees have in place a risk management strategy and this process includes a review by the Trustees and the Chief Officer. The process identifies the type of risk the Charity faces, as well as priorities in terms of likelihood of occurrence and potential impact and identifies the means of mitigation against such risks.

Trustees' Report (continued)

Reserves

The Trustees acknowledge the need to maintain an adequate level of reserves to:

  1. Ensure continuity in the event of a large variation in income.

  2. Bridge cash-flow problems.

  3. Accommodate possible redundancy and other staff associated costs.

  4. Plan for growth to grasp unexpected strategic development opportunities.

  5. Find finance for specific future projects.

  6. Assist in the generation of future projects.

  7. Assist in the generation of future income.

The Trustees determine the level of reserves needed by:

  1. Forecasting the level of income anticipated over the short to medium term.

  2. Forecasting the level of expenditure in the short to medium term, based on planned activities. Analysing future needs, opportunities, contingencies or risks which cannot be met out of income,

  3. including an assessment of the likelihood of these arising, and the potential consequences of the Charity not being able to meet them.

Investments

Responsibility for sanctioning and approving investments lies with the Trustees who will be advised by its external advisers on all medium and long-term investments of all policies to strike a balance between a good return on investment including capital growth and security. Investments are reviewed regularly, and ethical factors are considered whether they reflect the charitable objects of the organisation and are consistent with Charity Law.

Governance and Management

The Board of Trustees meets on a bi-monthly basis and is responsible for the governance of the organisation. Decisions on the day-to-day operation of the Charity have been taken by the Chief Officer. The Board receives monthly reports from the Chief Officer on operational matters and reports from the Trustee responsible individually for finance, the shop, human resources, property maintenance and Centre services. The Board of Trustees hope to appoint additional Trustees to be responsible for publicity and public relations and for fund raising. Decisions on matters of significant implications for the organisation are brought to the Board of Trustees. These include:

  1. Organisational priorities.

  2. All matters of risk – in particular resource and reputational risk.

  3. Significant organisational change.

  4. Major initiatives.

  5. Policy information and development.

  6. Equalities and diversity.

The organisation is committed to the principle and practice of equal opportunities in employment for all its employees, volunteers and applicants for employment. We also believe that all older people should receive services that meet their needs. As part of this commitment, we work to ensure that our own services and resources are relevant to the needs of all older people and are perceived by them as being relevant and accessible.

Page 3

Age Concern Crediton

Trustees' Report (continued)

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Mission and Strategic Outcome

The Board of Trustees keeps under review the organisation mission and strategic outcome.

Mission

Age Concern, Crediton is committed to providing quality services to people aged 50 years of age or over (referred to as ‘older people’) and their carers in Crediton and surrounding areas

Aims and Objectives for the Year

In settling their objectives and providing services, the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commissioners general guidance on public benefit.

During the year the organisation was pro-active in contributing towards the well-being of older people through the provisions of a range of services, both community based and in their homes.

Our services aim to provide the following: -

Principal Services and Activities

Age Concern Crediton has the organisational capacity to deliver several key services to older people within the town. Most of these services are managed by paid staff and delivered by volunteers, who are appropriately recruited and trained and supported. These services are outlined below:-

Day Centre

Our Day Centre situated in Deep Lane, Crediton, known as the Lady Mills Centre, was open four days a week – Monday to Friday excluding Tuesday. A home cooked meal and varied activities are provided along with transport to the Centre. On Tuesdays there is a monthly drop-in Coffee Morning, and in the afternoon plays host to the Memory Café (formerly operated by The Dementia Alliance).

Home Support

The Home Support Service offers assistance on a social and practical level. It aims to support older people and their carers, to maintain as independent and full a life as possible, by offering practical support in their home including domestic cleaning and shopping services.

We also run a volunteer home visit befriending service.

Age Concern Crediton

Trustees' Report (continued)

Art Group

There are Art Group sessions that take place twice a month at the Lady Mills Centre under the supervision of a tutor.

Foot Care

A Foot Care service is provided on a six-weekly basis at the Lady Mills Centre providing toe, nail and hand fingernail clipping. The service is operated by three volunteers and has seen significant uptake from residents

Fund Raising

In the past in addition to charges for the services outlined above, the main sources of income of the Charity were a grant from Devon County Council to provide community support in Mid-Devon and our shop in the High Street in Crediton which is totally stocked by donations. Whilst the former was received this year, there was no contribution from the latter as the shop was closed in the previous year due to poor trading following the reopening after lockdown. In this year the premises were sold for much need funds.

In this year, several successful applications were made to grant making charities and organisations. Some of these were restricted as to use and these are outlined in note 20 to the financial statements. Non restricted grants and donations from individuals and commercial entities including NFU Mutual were also received this year

Results for the Year

The lockdown continues to adversely affect our charitable activities in particular the trading of the shop which led to the decision to close the shop and to sell the premises. As last year there is an excess of expenditure over income in this year despite the level of government grants and donations received and the gain on the disposal of the shop premises of £11,269.

Total income for the year was £175,969 (£164,700 if the gain on the disposal of the shop premises is ignored) (2023: £158,918). The total expenditure was £187,152 (2023: £164,668).

On 31 March 2024, the Charity had unrestricted funds of £345,203 (2023: £359,671) as a result of an excess of expenditure over income for the year of £11,183 (£22,452 if the gain on the disposal of the shop premises is ignored) (2023: £5,750). The balances on the designated fund for Property Maintenance on 31 March 2024 was £20,862 (2023: £20,862).

On 31 March 2024, the Charity had restricted funds of £12,353 (2023: £9,068).

Planning for 2024/2025

The planning for 2024/25 continues to be affected by the aftermath of the pandemic. It is anticipated that the Day Centre will again run at a loss this year but it is hoped that the Home Support service will continue to grow. The Trustees will continue to look for other sources of funds concentrating on applications to organisations that provide grant finance.

The long-term aim of the Trustees is to reduce the charity’s reliance on funding from Devon County Council and so they intend to take the following steps: -

  1. Continue to apply to organisations that provide grant finance.

  2. There will be an active search for more users for the services provided by the Charity.

  3. Steps will continue to be made to raise the profile of the Charity in the area.

  4. Further fund-raising events will be arranged.

Page 5

Age Concern Crediton

Trustees' Report (continued)

The Trustees will continue to look at the services provided by the Charity and may with regret have to decide to increase the charges for our services and/or reduce the range of services so as to ensure the future of the Charity.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.

The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity 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.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Age Concern Crediton

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Age Concern Crediton for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of Age Concern Crediton you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the Age Concern Crediton's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

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

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of Age Concern Crediton as required by section 130 of the Act; or

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

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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.

Age Concern Crediton

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

1 Accounting policies

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Basis of preparation

Age Concern Crediton meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.

Going concern

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

Income and endowments

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Donations and legacies

Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.

Grants receivable

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

Investment income

Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Raising funds

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Page 11

Age Concern Crediton

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 (continued)

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

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.

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, 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

Individual fixed assets costing £100.00 or more are initially recorded at cost.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class Depreciation method and rate Office equipment 30% straight line basis Freehold property 4% straight line basis Motor vehicles 20% reducing balance basis

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 12

Age Concern Crediton

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 (continued)

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

Pensions and other post retirement obligations

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

Financial instruments

Classification

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.

Page 13

Age Concern Crediton

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 (continued)

Recognition and measurement

All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.

Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

Investments

Investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary or preference shares (where shares are publicly traded or their fair value is reliably measurable) are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Where fair value cannot be measured reliably, investments are measured at cost less impairment.

Investments in subsidiaries and associates are measured at cost less impairment. For investments in subsidiaries acquired for consideration including the issue of shares qualifying for merger relief, cost is measured by reference to the nominal value of the shares issued plus fair value of other consideration. Any premium is ignored.

Fair value measurement

The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price for an identical asset in an active market. When quoted prices are unavailable, the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides evidence of fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse of time since the transaction took place. If the market is not active and recent transactions of an identical asset on their own are not a good estimate of fair value, the fair value is estimated by using a valuation technique.
