Statement of Trustees' responsibilities in respect of the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements
The trustees (who are also directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the 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 then apply them consistently.
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 and FRS 102
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards 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 operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that 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.
They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Finance Committee conducted a review of the financial risks faced by the Trust in May 2021. The Committee considers that there are sufficient financial risk management procedures and internal controls in place adequate to reduce such risks to an acceptable level to the trustees. It is intended a review of risk management and all other procedures will be conducted on a timetabled basis.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Charity’s objectives are as follows:
-
(a) the relief of elderly infirm handicapped whether physically or mentally or physically weak persons by the promotion of social inclusion for the public benefit, in particular but not exclusively in the East End of London; and

PUBLIC BENEFIT
The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees view that its work integrating the medical and dental students with the elderly in the various activities run has both social and learning benefits for the two disparate groups. In planning our activities to encompass this integration we will continue to contribute to the aims and objectives we have set.
VOLUNTEERS
The directors and committee members and students provide numerous services at no cost. The Griffin Community Trust relies on these volunteers for help in the running of the company’s many activities.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Trust’s work with the students aimed at ways to improve the accommodation, whilst keeping them affordable, this is an ongoing project.
In the light of the Covid Pandemic, the Trust set the students the task to develop imaginative and ingenious ways to interact with the elderly residents of Lansbury Lodge and Toynbee Hall. The students took up this challenge and now interact with the residents on a one-to-one meeting basis as well as long distance over mobile communications.
During the year, the Trust commenced on a review and development of their Articles of Association. A financial review of investments was undertaken with close monitoring of the cash position of the charity.

Griffin Community Trust Chair’s report 2021
It has been another year of unexpected challenges due to the pandemic; the world has been an uncertain place and we have prioritized the safety of the older residents and students this year. During the second peak this winter many of our committee members and students worked towards the pandemic, with many students studying from home or volunteering to help on the front line. We are very proud of the collective effort of our community for the inspirational work they have been doing especially those working on the front line.
We have continued our meetings on a virtual platform which has allowed us to continue to run the charity with our committee’s wisdom and catch up regularly. Our meetings have helped us navigate the challenges which have faced us and to support each other. Our virtual meetings have allowed flexibility for our committee, and we have continued to have excellent attendance due to this. The School of Medicine and Dentistry is now open with our students continuing with their education, majority of the students and committee have now been vaccinated and are testing regularly to ensure safety. We have selected our new students for the coming year who will be moving in September.
We have continued to avoid face to face contact with the older people during this year due to the risk of transmission to the older people. However, the students have worked hard to maintain these relationships showing their creativity and passion. They have created gift boxes with the older people at Christmas and Easter which included some edible treats and a newsletter with photographs. This allowed us to share our updates with the older people who do not have access to technology and helped to keep the connection in our community strong. Additionally, one of our students also arranged a delivery of poppies and treats for the older people for Remembrance Sunday which showed the students thoughtfulness.
Our Toynbee Hall representatives have excelled themselves this year in strengthening bonds with their volunteering working with the Toynbee Hall to continue befriending virtually during the pandemic. They have started to recommence activities in recent months with limited numbers of older people which our students have been helping to co-ordinate.
Kat Price and Claire Dow organized another teaching meeting, virtually this time, which introduced the new students to working with older people from talks about frailty to a rundown of local services. The student chairs led a discussion about working with older people at Shaftesbury Lodge which was helpful in encouraging discussions of case scenarios to share experiences and ideas.
We have taken the time over lockdown to continue to update the Griffin constitution and we are very grateful to Gbenga for working with our legal team, despite living in Canada, to complete the final version of our constitution. This has been submitted to the Charities Commission for review and we are awaiting their feedback. We hope to present the final version to the committee soon.
A special thank you to Brian Colvin and Judith Walker for all their support and hard work this year stepping in to help when other committee members were busy on the front line. Dan Regan and Tony Pettit have continued to financially steer us through difficult times, and we are grateful for their attention to detail. We look forward to introducing a new member to our finance committee, Mr Stephen Rockhill who has been attending meetings and we value his expertise and experience. Thank you to Heather Hill for continuing to oversee the running of Griffin House despite the pandemic. Thank you to Renee Fitzgerald for representing Shaftesbury as a Trustee, although we have missed her at meetings. We would also like to acknowledge Dr Claire Dow for her expertise with older people’s medical and social issues and also Dr Fabia Chan who have undertaken a role as our governance lead. As well as Dr Arief Gunawan and Dr Jane Heraghty for their input this year. We would also like to say a huge thank you to the Marie Celeste Samaritan Society, for their generous donation this year and continued financial support. We were sorry to hear of the death of Andrew Paris who was such a great supporter of Griffin.
And most of all we thank the students who have shown their creativity this year in reaching out to the older people in new inventive ways. They continue to create opportunities to foster connections despite the challenges this year and we hope that the future brings new events and interactions with the older people in the safest way possible. Moreover, the student chairs this year, Jaimie, Leila and Tobi have worked hard with enthusiasm and understanding in a challenging time. We wish the finalists leaving this year all the best with their future careers and their adventures to come!

THE GRIFFIN COMMUNITY TRUST
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS - 30[TH] JUNE 2021
Costs of raising funds comprise investment management costs relative to the charity’s investments.
Charitable expenditure comprises all expenditure directly related to the objects of the charity. Governance costs include the costs of governance arrangements, which relate to the general running of the charity as opposed to the direct management functions inherent in generating funds, service delivery and programme or project work. These activities provide the governance infrastructure, which allows the charity to operate and to generate the information required for public accountability. They include the strategy planning processes that contribute to future development of the charity.
Support costs include the central functions such as general management, administration, budgeting and accounting, information technology, and financing. Support costs do not, in themselves, constitute an activity; instead, they enable output-creating activities to be undertaken.
(e) Support costs allocation
Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs and administrative costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Support costs have been allocated solely to the Griffin House activity on the basis that all costs relating to Student Activities are already directly attributed to this activity.
(f) Services in kind
No account is taken of the substantial contributions made by the directors and committee members and other medical students who provide numerous services free of charge as volunteers.
(g) Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) less accumulated depreciation. 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 stated below. There is a full year’s provision in the year of purchase. Only expenditure greater than £500 on capital items is capitalised.
| Depreciation rate | |
|---|---|
| Equipment | 25% |
| Fixtures and Fittings | 20% |
| Land and Building | 2% |
(h) Investments
Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in ‘net gains / (losses) on investments’ in the SOFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably.
(i) Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
(j) Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
