TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Achievements and performance
In 2020/21 like many other charities Age UK Devon was greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and many services, activities and events were suspended due to national lockdowns and ongoing government restrictions. Therefore, the number of people supported is dramatically lower than usual.
The Information and Advice service continued to offer free, impartial, and confidential advice to older people their families, and carers. Trained advisors advised on health and social care matters, housing issues, and provided details of local services and voluntary groups supporting older people and their communities during the pandemic. All support was provided via the telephone including full benefit checks and the completion of benefit forms.
The Better Later Lives service for people over pension age, who have experienced a life change and need some support to think about what happens next also continued throughout the pandemic. Support was provided via the telephone throughout most of the year, and face-to-face visits were conducted as restrictions lifted.
Unfortunately, most community outreach activities (exercise classes, drop-ins, knitting and craft sessions, lunch clubs, social groups) were suspended due to the pandemic. In between National lockdowns some outdoor activities (Swim to the Sea programme and Outdoor Activity Club at Stover Park) were delivered adhering to the government guidelines.
The chargeable Enabling and Home Support service offers weekly assistance with routine household tasks, shopping and other activities which become more difficult with age. Between April and June, the Enabling & Home Support service was suspended totally as it was unsafe to deliver due to the pandemic. Following rigorous risk assessments, new health and safety measures and obtaining supplies of PPE essential tasks within client homes were re-established in July for some clients.
To support clinically vulnerable older people shielding throughout most of the pandemic hundreds of goodie bags containing essential food and hygiene items were delivered by staff and volunteers. A pen-pal scheme was established with several Devon primary schools. Active at Home bags containing a thera-band and stress ball with a manual explaining how to do some simple chair-based exercises at home were delivered to clients at home. Using Zoom a variety of virtual activities such as exercise sessions, chats, and quizzes, were available free of charge. At Christmas 50 large luxury hampers were delivered to older people that were either going to spend Christmas alone or who were on a low income.
In partnership with Devon M emory M atters two virtual programmes of cognitive stimulation therapy sessions for people living with mild to moderate dementia were delivered over a series of 14 weeks.
Will clinics delivered by McClure solicitors were available to older people throughout the year via telephone or
video calls.
Foot care visits in East Devon continued. The foot care specialist visited older people in their own home to take care of their nails as well as checking the overall health of their feet.

Financial review
Reserve policy
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

AGE UK DEVON
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Designated Reserve.
The board of trustees have agreed that Age UK Devon requires a minimum level of unrestricted reserves (£200k) to cover contingencies and provide a level of working capital to:
-
Meet our staff responsibilities and obligations.
-
Meet our legal lease requirements.
-
Pay suppliers.
-
Cover the risk of an unforeseen emergency.
-
Provide a buffer for a period of three months, in the absence of ongoing funding or termination of contracts whilst alternative funding is sought.
As at 31 March 2021 Age UK Devon had £330,171 in unrestricted reserves, excluding the designated fund which meets the level of reserves assessed as being required for working capital to meet our legal, statutory and best practice requirements.
Investment policy
Charity investments can only be considered if there are surplus resources over and above those required for Age UK Devon to carry out its present and future activities effectively. When managing any Age UK Devon investments, Trustees must act to certain standards as defined in the Trustee Act (2000).
The basic principle governing Age UK Devon’s Trustees' decisions about investing the charity's funds is that they must take a prudent approach. When investing charitable funds (especially where those represent permanent endowment), Trustees must seek to strike the right balance between:
-
Providing an income to help Age UK Devon effectively carry out its purpose in the short term.
-
Maintaining and, if possible, enhancing the value of the invested funds, to enable Age UK Devon to effectively carry out its purpose in the longer term.
In order to discharge the duty to adopt a prudent approach to the investment of Age UK Devon’s charity funds, Age UK Devon Trustees must:
-
Know their investment powers.
-
Discharge their duties properly when they take decisions about investments.
-
Have proper arrangements in place for holding investments on behalf of the charity.
-
Follow certain legal requirements if they are going to use someone to manage the charity's investments on their behalf.
-
Know what they can and cannot do if they are going to apply an ethical approach to the charity's investments paragraphs.
Age UK Devon Trustees must accept their general duty of care to use their powers of investment for the benefit of the charity.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Risk
The trustees acknowledge that risk management is the responsibility of the board of trustees. A Risk Policy balances the charity's need to take risks in pursuance of its charitable purpose with their duty to ensure that the charity's financial and legal standing, and the quality and safety of its operations, are not compromised.
Internal control processes include:
-
A five-year strategic plan and business plan with supporting annual operational plans and budgets, approved by the trustees.
-
Management accounts and performance reports against delivery of the charity's strategic objectives, key successes and any shortfall, or risk of shortfall, are considered by the trustees at every Board meeting.
-
Delegation of authority and segregation of duties.
-
Identification, management and regular monitoring of risks.
-
Annual reviews of the charity's policies and procedures.
-
Maintenance of Age UK's Charity Quality Standard and Information & Advice Quality Programme, and the Advice Quality Standard (AQS).
-
• External Human Resource support and guidance through Stephens Scown Solicitor's HR Express Service.
-
Financial Investment advice through Thomas Westcott.
Structure, governance and management
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:
Mrs E Michaelson (Resigned 31 May 2021) Mr N Mason Mrs L De-La-Hunty Mrs L Onyett Mrs H Aldis Mr R Austin (Appointed 20 January 2021)
The trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act) are elected for three years and are eligible for re-election thereafter.
The charity seeks to ensure that the needs of older people and the best interests of the organisation are reflected in the makeup of the trustee board and therefore trustees are recruited with appropriate experience, knowledge and expertise e.g. health and social care, legal, human resources, business and financial expertise.
Trustees regularly review the board structure and undertake an annual skills audit to identify gaps in their governance abilities. Newly recruited trustees spend time with the Chief Executive and service managers in order to receive an overview of the organisation and get a feel of its culture, ethos and values. Key induction documents such as the trustees Induction Handbook, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, last independently examined accounts, most recent management accounts, Annual Review, Strategic and Business Plans, and the current year's budgets are given and discussed.
The board of trustees meets quarterly and are responsible for the strategic direction and overall management of Age UK Devon. As at 31st March 202 1 the Board had 6 members from a variety of backgrounds relevant to work of the charity.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Age UK Devon is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The members of the company include the trustees who are also ordinary members. In the event of the charity being wound up, members liabilities in respect of the guarantee are limited to £1 per member of the charity. At 31 March 2021, the number of members was 61.
The registered office is Unit 1 Manaton Court, Matford Business Park, Exeter, Devon, EX2 8PF.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of certain financial instruments at fair value.
The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

(Continued)
1.5 Expenditure
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction .
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures and fittings
15% Straight line
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
1.7 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year . Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charity. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Age UK Devon owns one such subsidiary, Age UK Devon (Trading) Limited, which is currently dormant.
1.8 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs . Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.9 Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged as an expense on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
