REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (Continued)

The Trustees present their report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 30 September 2020. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, 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).

Legal and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report.

Objectives and activities

The Charity’s objects are:

To educate children and adults generally and in particular those children and adults living in Buckinghamshire Bedfordshire Northamptonshire and the surrounding area and to foster their awareness of safety issues in everyday life including (but not limited to) safety in the home or workplace, educational establishments on the roads or during leisure activities.

Our aim is to be a centre of excellence for safety education and our mission has three parts:

We deliver these aims in three main ways:

  1. By operating our interactive safety learning village called Hazard Alley at Kiln Farm Milton Keynes. Here visiting children, mainly from primary schools across the region, and also uniformed groups such as Cub Scouts and Brownies, are guided through twelve everyday situations containing risks and hazards and encouraged to think about how to make themselves and the situations safer. Schools that visit for a whole day can participate in internet safety workshops as well as the guided tour.

  2. By delivering safety education outreach programmes in schools and other locations to introduce or reinforce key safety themes in the Centre.

  3. By providing a schedule of training to workplaces including first aid at work courses and also hiring out the Centre for specialist scenario based training or for company team building sessions.

Achievements and performance

2019 – 20 has been a year of two halves. It was ‘business as usual’ from October 2019 through to the end of March 2020 and then, as we went into lockdown, we had no option but to close the centre and reduce operating costs as much as possible including furloughing most of the staff. The work we had done to implement new cloud based systems including Xero and Hubspot stood us in very good stead as remaining staff quickly switched to remote working.

Page 2

SAFETY CENTRE (HAZARD ALLEY) LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (Continued)

This systems implementation work also helped us win two awards: an MK Business Achievement Award in the innovation category in March 2020 and a Silver Award for Project of the Year in the MK & Bucks SME awards in February 2020. In April we launched our new website incorporating the new logo, which we have received positive feedback on. Thanks to Vauxhall Luton funding we were able to produce a new leaflet in March outlining our services to schools.

As a consequence of COVID our visit numbers have been significantly reduced in 2019/20 to 4,444 half day visits (2018/19 11,748 half day visitors and 926 whoe day visits (2018/19 1,947). Visits were both self-funded and supported by grant funding to enable children from disadvantaged areas to access our services.

School Liaison activity was also affected by the close down as we weren’t able to deliver any sessions into schools from late March through to September 2020 and beyond. We had successfully bid for funding to enable us to go out into schools and were able to deliver 95 sessions for children (2018/19: 191) and 6 sessions for parents (2018/19: 16) in the first six months of the financial year across Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes, and Bedfordshire including Luton, mostly on the theme of internet safety or about the dangers of gas and carbon monoxide in the home. Due to the highly unusual circumstances, most funders have agreed to extended deadlines in which to deliver sessions.

We trained 322 people in a range of first aid qualifications for workplaces including educational settings (2018/19: 584 people). Following guidelines issued by our accreditation body we temporarily stopped delivering courses from 23[rd] March 2021 but were able to start delivering courses in July following the latest COVID regulations. This meant that we ran fewer courses this year and rebooked customers onto later courses as the year progressed. A great deal of work was put into adapting course delivery, risk assessment and management of visitors in the building. Very good feedback has been received about the arrangements we put in place. We have continued to host fire training courses delivered by a third party, again at a reduced level.

Partnership working continues to strengthen. In particular we had very positive disucssions with Milton Keynes Council and Thames Valley Policea around early intervention activities into primary schools which led to an initiative to develop and deliver taught sesisons for year 5 classes around the dangers of knives for all MK primary schools. Alongside this £50k has been secured towards the cost of replacing the outdated garage forecourt with a street corner scenario including a take away shop, pharmacy and betting shop to facilitate learning about peer pressure, gangs, drugs and knife crime. The installation should be completed by April 2021.

We are reliant on a team of volunteers, who give their time, passion and enthusiasm to take children on tours of the safety village and to support the Centre in other ways. The Trustees are very grateful for the support the volunteers give. During the pandemic there

Page 3

SAFETY CENTRE (HAZARD ALLEY) LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020

has been a weekly virtual catch up via video conferencing and this has helped maintain the strong sense of community that already existed.

On behalf of all the team, we would like to pass our condolences to the loved ones of Fiona Chapman who passed away in June 2020. Fiona was a valued member on the Board of Trustees and her presence will be greatly missed.

Public benefit

The Trustees have complied with their duty to in regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance. The Trustees consider all the work of the Safety Centre is of direct benefit to the public and society as a whole.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (Continued)

Ensuring our work delivers its aims

We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. The review looks at what we have achieved and the outcomes of our work during the previous 12 months. Our review also helps us to ensure our

aim, objectives and activities remain focussed on our stated purposes. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

Financial Review

The Charity has worked hard in previous years to increase income whilst at the same time reducing the operating costs and this approach was reducing the deficit. However further steps were needed to keep the Charity solvent and the trustees decided to seek a buyer of the long lease on the building in return for a shorter term lease, in order to release capital. A sale and leaseback was agreed in August 2020 and completed in February 2021. The capital will ensure the financial stability of the charity.

Regular financial support comes from Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service and The Parks Trust. These funds are very welcome and vitally important. Other grants are received largely to subsidise visits to the Centre and to enable our school liaison officers to deliver free of charge sessions in schools. We are in the second year of a contract with Cadent Gas to deliver their Carbon Monoxide Edcuation programme, called Safety Seymour, to schools in the area. We continue to be supported by donations in cash and kind. Financial contributions are reflected in the accounts in the year they are received.

The Trustees would like to express their appreciation to all organisations that provide financial and in-kind support.

The income used for the period is set out on page 20. The balance of unused resources for the period will be transferred to the accumulated fund. The remaining amounts currently held in the Charity’s reserve account provide a cushion against future operating deficits.

Plans for future periods

Page 4

SAFETY CENTRE (HAZARD ALLEY) LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020

The Trustees are very mindful of the need to make the Charity financially sustainable and had a simple but challenging strategy to achieve this over the next three years:

The strategy remains the same despite the pandemic but with a stronger focus on recovering the income lost and rebuilding confidence in using our services as face to face delivery – whether teaching or training – is at the heart of what we do. The sale of the lease funding will allow us to generate the income levels to remain sustainable.

The auditors, Mercer & Hole, are deemed to be reappointed under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (Continued)

Other information (continued)

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Page 9

SAFETY CENTRE (HAZARD ALLEY) LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (Continued)

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)201

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Page 10

Company number: 02709081

SAFETY CENTRE (HAZARD ALLEY) LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Accounting policies

(a) Legal Form

Safety Centre (Hazard Alley) Ltd is a private company limited by guarantee without share capital. The charity is incorporated in England and Wales and the registered office is 18 Carters Lane, Kiln Farm, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, MK11 3ES. The liability of each Trustee is limited to contributing £1 to the assets of the Charity in the event of it being wound up while a Trustee, or within one year after ceasing to be a Trustee.

(b) Basis of preparation

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102 2019. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

The Trustees have taken advantage of the exemption in FRS102 from including a cashflow statement in the financial statements on the grounds that the organisation is small.

(c) Funds structure

Unrestricted funds comprise those funds which trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the Trust’s charitable objectives. Unrestricted funds include the designated Legacies Fund which the Trustees, in their discretion, have created. The Trustees intend to use the Legacies Fund to achieve maximum benefit from the legacies received and, by spreading the use of the Funds provided over four years, to provide longer term recognition of the donor’s original gift.

(d) Income

Voluntary donations are recognised on receipt where the donation relates to the current accounting period. Donated assets and services received in kind are recognised at their monetary value, as estimated by the trustees, when received and donated assets are capitalised at this value.

All other income is recognised on an accruals basis.

(e) Expenditure

Expenditure incurred on activities falling directly within one cost category have been recognised as such. Items of expenditure which involve more than one category have been allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis.

(e) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Page 15

SAFETY CENTRE (HAZARD ALLEY) LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020

The cost of fixed assets is their purchase cost or a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity. Assets with a value of less that £300 are expensed on acquisition.

Page 16

SAFETY CENTRE (HAZARD ALLEY) LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d)

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets on a straight line basis over the following expected useful lives:

Long leasehold building 25 years Leasehold improvements over length of lease Office equipment 3 years Fixtures and fittings 7 years Scenario equipment 3 years

(f) Grants and contributions

Grants received in respect of leasehold buildings are held in a restricted fund and then credited to the profit and loss account over the life of the lease.

(g) Operating leases

Costs in respect of operating leases are charged on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(h) Stock

Stock is incuded at the lower of cost or net realisable value.

(i) Debtors

Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any trade discounts due.

(j) Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charitable company has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

(k) Reserves

The Trustees have determined that an appropriate level of available general reserves should be equivalent to twelve months fixed expenditure, which in 2019/20 is budgeted at £316,000.

(i) Going concern

COVID-19 has had an impact on the charitable company, the centre had to be closed on 25 March 2020, visits, school sessions and training courses had to be cancelled meaning income was lost. This closure is ongoing and will likely continue through to at least April 2021. Most of the employees have been furloughed. Cashflow has been an issue, suppliers have allowed the charitable company to spread/defer payments and the charitable company has applied for discretionary local authority grant funding.

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In making this assessment, the trustees have reviewed the cash flow forecasts of the charitable company and concluded that based on the forecasts, taking into account the impact of COVID19 on activities, the mitigating actions that can be taken to control costs, obtain grants and restructure the assets that the charitable company has adequate

Page 17

SAFETY CENTRE (HAZARD ALLEY) LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020

resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.The charitable company has also completed on a sale and leaseback arrangement of its’ main premises, which will secure significant funds. Therefore the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.

The Charity benefits greatly from the involvement and enthusiastic support of many of its many volunteers. In accordance with FRS 102 and the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the economic contribution of general volunteers is not recognised in the accounts.

The Charity is reliant on a team of volunteers, who give their time, passion and enthusiasm to take children on tours of the safety village and to support the Centre in other ways. This year they gave at least 5,000 hours of their time because they care about what the Charity does, want to give something back and for social reasons. The Trustees are very grateful for the support the volunteers give.
