The following section of this report shows the scope of our work. The Trustees have
had due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.
Our Services
Informatlon and Advice (l & A) is delivered throughout
Somerset and North Somerset providing older people
and their families with information and advi￿ on matters
of concern to them, assisting them to make decisions.
This service is primarily delivered from a ￿ntral offi
location, which handles the majority of enquiries via the
telephone, as well as online enquiries. A small team of
community based l & A volunteers take the service to locations across our area
making the service accessible to more older people.
Over 5000 older people, including their families. were helped during 202112022 by
this service.
Included in this work was the support to clients in applying for Attendance Allowance
and Disability Living Allowance. with suc￿Ssful claims bringing in an estimated
£1.5m into the local e￿nomY and having a significant impact on the individuals.
Agelng Well is the seniice that provides older people with
opportunities to get together to stay fit and active.
We provide over 120 weekly exercise classes across
Somerset and North Somerset. even in quite remote
areas. These range from traditional chair-based activities
such as Flexercise led by trained Volunteers, to
Movement to Music, Yoga and Tai Chi sessions to name
few, that are led by paid qualified instructors.
We have started providing a range of specific 'health based. classes as well as
conditioning exercises for patients in Kewstoke ward in Weston General hospital to
aid discharge.
We are building back strongly with our 'Stay Strong. Stay Steady. classes as well as
Otago to really help with falls prevention. The support of Somerset Public Health and
The Bristol, North Somerset and South GIoU￿sterShIre Clinical Commissioning
Group has been vital.

NHS Foundation Trust, is available to older people living in Somerset with the aim of
improving their quality of life and mobility.
Cuts are delivered by trained assistants, mainly in clinic settings across the county,
four times a year as defined by the Podiatry Service.
This vitally important service caters for some 800 older people. As some of the cuts
are provided in clients own homes we are required to be registered with the Care
Quality Commission (CQC) and subject to an annual audit. We are currently rated a
'Good' service by the CQC.
Our ActSve Befriending Service is aimed at combating
the loneliness and isolation of older people across
Somerset and North Somerset. while at the same time
enjoying being outside for some exercise and movement.
Trained volunteers provide one to one support to
individuals including encouraging and enabling them to
access seNices and activities in the community whenever
possible.
Our Friendly Phone Call service is primarily for those that suffer mild to moderate
depression and anxiety. This service was part of the countywide Open Mental Health
partnership. On average around 30 individuals were supported each month.
Cognitive Stimulation Therapy is a service that can help those with a recent
diagnosis of dementia, buy some more time. It is non-pharnaceutical intervention
and provides a safe space for people to enjoy life now and spend time with others in
a similar situation.
Information & Advice North Somerset 'SCAMS' is an Anti-scams project with
North Somerset Trading Standards where our staff member works with local people
who had sadly been the subject of a scam.
Age UK Somerset helps many vulnerable and elderfy people each year who had
been victims of scamming and many awareness raising sessions are held to equip
people who may be targeted. During the pandemic. as much work as possible was
carried out via the telephone.

Our Wonderful Volunteers
We have had another very successful year in terms of recruiting and retaining
volunteers.
We are proud to have 270 active volunteers as part of our team.
Our volunteers have roles in our Ageing Well. Infomiation & Advice and Befriending

online volunteer magazine.
Whilst it is difficult to calculate. we estimate that each year our volunteers contribute
around 35.000 hours helping to make our services both suc￿Ssful and very cost
effective. If we apply a £10 an hour to the hours they give this amounts to well over
£350,000 and many of the tasks would be valued much hKJher.
The value of this unpaid volunteer time has not been recognised in the Financial
Statements in accordan￿ with Charities SORP {FRS102) as detailed in the
accounting policies.
The organisation, along with those who benefit directly from the activities they
undertake, greatly value the contribution volunteers make to the organisation and to
the lives of older people.

Flnanclal Revlew of the Year
Statement of Financial Activities
Total income from all SOu￿e$ was £696,281 (2021: £658,666) an increase of
£37.615 (5.7 % ) (2021: decrease £290.593 and 30.6 % ) from the previous year.
No trading activities were carried out during the year through the Charivs wholly
owned subsidiary Irading company.
Balance Sheet
At the year end the Chartiy's net assets stood at £660,275 (2021: £670,196) of which
£50.377 (2021: £35,852) was in restricted funds. Details of the funds and the

Summary
There was an overall deficit of £9.921 (2021: surplus £70.429) a decrease of
£80.350 (114Q/o) from the previous year.
The financial position of the Charity following a very drficult period. due to Covid, is
in the Board's view positive. largely due to the receipt of legacies recognised in the
accounts and the additional fundirKJ SUPPOrt malerialising due to successful grant
claims.
The Charity's funds balance is presently in excess of the reserves policy and
provides a secure basis to facilitate designated project work and to mitigate the
anticipated retum of the challenge of raising finance to deliver the Charity's work
across Somerset and North Somerset in the future.
Legacles
From time to time the charity is the recipient of bequests. often in the fonn of
legacies.
There were no notable legacies during the financtal year.

Review of Principal Funding Sources
The Board of Age UK Somerset continues lo operate a policy of accessing as
diverse and varied a range of funding as possible in order to not become over reliant
on any single source and therefore provKle income security. The majority of the
Charity's funding comes from agreements with organisations that share and wish to
support the Charitys aims and objectives. Increasirigly this source of funding is
subject to cuts. however Ihe recognition of the consistently positive impact our
charity's work has on the wellbeing of older people has significantly contributed lo a
continuation of this financial support. Wherever possible the Charity aims to maintain
these funding relationships going forward and is aclively seeking to further this
objective by working in partnerships wilh other charitable organisations. Although
funders will have their own budget constraints, the Charity still consistently
endeavours to forge longer tenn agreements Wtth furKJers wherever posslble.
The Charity has historically been in re￿ipt of significant levels of income from
seNice fees. The Ageing Well service, has, historicalty, been a good source of
service fee income and was operating at around £200.000 per annum pre-covid.
The Charity is successfully working towards getting this vital Sour￿ of income
reinstated to previous levels. Service fees are re-invested in supporting the services
as designated funds.
Grants from foundations and trusts. legacies and donations are gratefully received
and the Charity is able to recover tax under the Grft Aid scheme from those
donalions that qualify.
The charity also receives income from a numberof commissioned services. These
include TNC. a Cognitive Stimulation Therapy serrfice, Friendly Phone Calls and a
'Stay Strong, Stay Steady, servi￿.

Working Relationships
The Charity is a member of the Age England Association and a Brand Partner of Age
UK national.
Those who have enabled us to deliver our charitable objective5 during the financial
year included:
Age UK. Rethink, North Somerset Counul. Quartet Community Foundation,
Somerset Community Foundation, Sedgemoor District Council, Somerset County
Council, Somerset CCG. Somersel NHS Foundation Trust. The Nani Huyu

Well Being Board at North Somerset Counul and several other generous entities and
individuals.
The Charlty would wlsh to thank all organlsatlons and Indlvlduals who have
supported its activities during the year.
Reserves Policy
The Board has established a policy whereby sufficienl unrestricted funds not held in
fixed assets (free reseNes) should be accumulated over time to provide working
capital for the continuation of operations for a minimum 3 month maximum 6
month period. This level of free reseNes can equally be applied to 12 months budget
considerations, any contractual obligations Ihat are likely to materialise in the event
of the Charity wholly or partly ceasing operations and to provide the funding of
anticipated capital expenditure.
The Board considers that in keeping with the above ￿qUirementS an appropriate
level of free reserves from Ihe General Fund would be an amount of £350,000 (2021:
£265,000). At 31 March 2022 the free reserves held in Unrestricted Funds amounted
to £607,158 (2021: £628,065). This figure is arrived at by taking the total value of the
Unrestricted Funds £609,898 (2021: £635,344) less the value of fixed assets £2,740
(2021- £7,279).
The £257,158 (2021: £363,065) of reserqes held in excess of the policy includes
£165.238 (2021: £192.765) of designated funds, which will be used to support fee
income generating servI￿s, some conlinued post pandemic recovery and the
expansion of new services, in addttion to the following specific areas:

Befriending SeNice project opportunities
Volunteers training arKI events
IT hardware renewals
IT Cloud infrastructure initiatives in a￿a$ such as Finance. Human
Resources and Telephony.
Details of the designated amounts are specified in the Statement of Funds (Noles to
the Accounts 19).
The remaining surplus of free reserves allows sufficient cover for income loss risk,
the negative financial impact of unexpected adverse events and facilitating funding
for further new opportunities.
Investment Policy
The Board has the power to invest the Chantys assets as it sees fit. However, its
present policy is not to have investsnents unless ne￿SSary to accumulate for an
identified project, where the aim would be to invest in a manner consistent with the
objectives and timing of the project. No such investments are presently held.
Reserves are plac￿ on interest bearing deposit. These are split between the
Charity's principal bankers SanlaThJer Corporate Banking, Nalwest and the CCL
Charities Official 5nvestment Fund (COIF)- Charities Deposit Fund. Funds are
deposited to make best use of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme
(FSCS). which protects deposited balances up to £85.OCM).
Plans for the Future Period
Covid did freeze many plans, ambitions and opportunities for an entire year.
Nevertheless. we started building back in 2021122 as restrictions eased. Plans from
202112022 remain￿ the same as it was from 202012021 and is detailed as follows.
There are changes occurring in the NHS and Social care arenas nationally and at a
local level. The Charity sees a clear route for further activity within these areas.
The ICS (Integrated Care System) becomes a statutory 'beast' in 2022. Already Age
UK Somerset, in conjunction with partners from the Somerset group of Charities
have submitted a paper to the ICS Board on how we want to engage with them.

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity 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)).

Accounting Policles (¢ontinued
Income from generated fvnds {continuedl:
Receipt of legacy, in whole or in part, is only C￿nsidered probable when the amount can
be measured reliably and Ihe Charity has been notified of the executor's intention to
make a dislribulion. Where legacies meet the criteria for income recognition but have not
been ￿ceiVed at the ba18nce sheet date they are recognised in legacy income and other
debtors. Where legacies have been notified to the Charity or the Charity is aware of the
granting of probate and the criteria for income ￿cognItion have not been met, then the
legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Income from investments is recognised when ￿￿1¥able and the 8mounl can be
measured reliably by the Charity- this is nom)alty upon notification of the inleresl paid or
payable by the Bank.
Incomg from charltable activities:
Income from grants, contracts and govemment grants is recognised when the Charity
has entillemenl to the funds. any perfomance conditions attached to the grants have
been met, il is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be
measured reliably and is not deferred.
Where no conditions are attached to grants they are recognised within donations, gifts
and legacies. Where conditions relating to performance of Se￿ICe$ are attached i.e.
conlrdcls. grant income is recognised in charitable activities gr8nls and contracts within
the Statement of Financial Activities.
Where grant income is received in advance of conditions being mel. which are outside of
the Charity's control, income is deferred within credilors.- granfs recewed in advance until
grant conditions are mel. Where gr8nl income has not been received and conditions
have been met in the year. income is accrued within other debtors.
Income from services and other income from charitable activities are recognised in the
period in which the Charity is enlilled to receipt, it is probable that economic tenefits will
flow lo the Charity and the amount can be reliably measured.

Liabilities are recognised as expendilure as soon as there is a legal or constructive
obligation commilling lo that expendl1u￿, il is probable that selllemenl will be required
and the oblig8tion can be measured reliably. All expenditure is recognised on the
accruals basis.

Accounting Policies (continued)
See 1.6 b8low for details on support and governan￿ cost allocations. Grants Payable
are recognised within charitable activities when a conslructive obligation arises resulting
in the payment being unavoidable.
Allo¢atlon of support costs and governance costs
Support cosls are those functions that assist the work of the Charity but do not directly
undertake charitable activilies. Support costs include premises costs, finance, personnel,
payroll and governance costs. which support the charities activities. These costs are
allocated across the various ¢haritable activities.
Supr)ort slaff costs are allocated on the basis of staff allocaled time. Other support costs
such as premises costs are allocated on the basis of pro rata staff full time equivalents.
Govemance costs are not allocated to charitable activities as these costs are retained
within head office central activity.
Pension costs
The Charity make contributions to defined contribution pension schemes on behalf of
employees, which involves payment of contributions into employees. personal pension
schemes. The assets of these schemes are held separately from the group in
independently administered schemes. The amount included in the Statement of
Financial Activities represents the contributions payable to the schemes in respect of the
accounting period. Amounts a￿ allocated betsveen unrestricted and restricted funds
based on time spent by staff.
Operating leases
The Charity classifies the lease of property and office equipment as operating leases as
tille and risks and rewards of ownership are relained by Ihe lessor. Rentals 8re charged
on the straight line basis over the term of the lease through the profit and loss account.
Tanglble fixed assets
whe￿ purchased. fixed assets are stated at purchase costs plus incidental expenses of
acquisition. Where donated. fixed assets are stated at estimated market value on
acquisition. Depreciation is charged in respect of fixed assets and is calculated to wrile
off the cost of the assets, less estimated residual value, over their expected useful
economic lives as follows:
Computer equipment
Other equipment
straight line over 3 years
straight line over 3 years
Fixed assets are normally capiialised where the value of an asset or group of related
assets exceeds £1,000.

Accounting Policigs (continued
1.10 Cash and ¢ash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents indude cash and short term highly liquid investrnents that are
readily convertible lo a krthvn amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of
change in value.
1.11 Grants re￿IVed in advance
Deferred income is included within creditors: grants received in advance in the Balance
Sheet and comprises grant income received in advance of the provision of charilable
activities where grant conditions outside the Charity's control have not been mel.
Defer￿￿ income is recognised within income in the Slalement of Financial Activities
when the recognition conditions for income from grants, contracts and govemment grants
are met, typically when the grant conditions are met.
1.12 Flnan¢ial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and liabillbes that qualify as basic financial
instruments including bank balances. cash, debtors and creditors. Basic financial
instnjments a￿ initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently amortised cost.
1.13 Taxation
The Company is a regislered charity and is therefore not liable to corporation tax or
capital gains tax to the exlent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable
purposes only. Value added laxation is not recoverable by the Company and is therefore
included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activilies. The Charity
subsidiary is not VAT registered and unable to recover Value Added Tax and therefore it
is included within the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
1.14 Fund accountlng
General Funds are unreslricted funds. which are av8ilable for use at the discretion of the
Board in furtherance of general objectives of the Charity and which have not been
designated for other purposes. Designated Funds comprise unrestricted funds that have

Accountlng Pollcles (conlinued)
1.15 Critl¢al a¢¢ountlng esllmatss and judgements
The preparalion of the financi81 statements requires management to make judgements,
estimales and assumptions thal affect the application of policies and reported amounts of
assels and liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates and judgements are continually
evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including
expectations of future events that a￿ believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. The resulting accounting estimates will. by definition. seldom equal the
related actual results.
The estimates, assumptions and management judgements that carry a significant risk of
material adjustments to the carying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next
nancial year are outlined below.
Estimale of legacy in¢omo
A debtor of £15.00012021- £11,000) has been recognised in respect of legacies payable
to the charity. This reflects the Trustees. best estimate of the amount receivable al the
balance sheet date. The estates are still in the hands of the solicitors and the final
amounts to be paid to Ihe charity a￿ yet to be finalised. therefore the amounts ultimately
received could vary from the amount ￿CogniSed at the balance sheet date.
1.16 Donated services
In accordance with the Charilies SORP (FRS 102). any unpaid general volunteer time is
not recognised in the financial statements.
