Objectives and Activities Objectives of the Charity
The objectives of the charity are to promote and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of charities in direct pursuit of their objectives by the provision of premises and facilities for such charities. These charities provide public benefit to the local and wider community through a range of services and support including volunteering, charity start-ups, mental health services and support, addressing domestic violence, family support organisations, organisations for young people, community transport, a music charity, dyslexia diagnosis and support, conservation and redistribution of food from local sources and supermarkets and counselling services.
Principal activity
The company is principally engaged in the provision of premises and facilities for charities and not-for-profit organisations working in the local community.
Organisational structure
A Board of Trustees, of up to 8 trustees, who meet at least quarterly, administers the charity. Sub committees are in place to cover such issues as development and finance. In October 2022 a new Centre Manager was appointed following the resignation of their predecessor.
Achievements and performance
September 2023 found the Trust recovering from the negative effects of the pandemic, but with increasing optimism as new tenants arrived in the building. The financial year saw three new tenants join the Stricklandgate House community: Lakes Neuropsychology, One Vision and Morecambe Bay Partnership further diversifying service to the community.
A successful expression of interest to the National Lottery Heritage Fund resulted in an invitation to submit a Stage 1 Development Phase application and we await the outcome.
Grants from the Frieda Scott Trust and the Roselands Trust allow the trust to soundproof two new counselling rooms and partially insulate the attic bringing 5 rooms in use.
Conscious of our responsibility for climate change, Trustees and the Centre Manager have been working with Going Green Together to reduce our carbon footprint. The Trust now has and Environmental Policy and Action Plan and is working towards our Bronze accreditation.

STRICKLANDGATE HOUSE TRUST LIMITED
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued)
Achievements and performance (continued)
During this financial year, we began to see a greater improvement in room hire and counselling. September 2023 continues to see the Trustees confident for the future of the service we offer to local charities and charitable
The board have had due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission on Public benefit.
Plans for Future Periods
The financial year 2023/24 has continued to be a challenge, mainly due to increased utilities costs. Our ongoing investigation of the condition of the building has brought its own challenges, particularly with regards to heat and sound insulation and the challenges of aging infrastructure. However, Trustees have been proactive with efforts to reduce our overheads, whilst improving our carbon footprint. A switch to LED lighting through the building and improved insulation are evidence of this. Efforts to bring rooms back into use through soundproofing has increased space for hire as well as opportunities to support community welfare and wellbeing.
Stricklandgate House Trustees are prioritising a return to full tenancy, increased room hire and additional diversified income through greater community engagement and events alongside ongoing building maintenance and improvements. Part of this will involve improving our profile in the community to raise awareness of the services provided through the building and attendance at community events and activities.
Preparations to submit a stage one, development phase application to the National Lottery Heritage Fund following a successful expression of interest will continue into the next financial year. These preparation will take a significant amount of time and effort and will further help us understand the future needs of the building and the trust.
Financial review
Reserves policy
It is the objective of the Trust to maintain reserves to meet future repairs to the building and to fund administration costs. Any surplus over this requirement is utilised towards capital improvements of the facilities. Free reserves at the year-end was £19,480 (2022: £1,743). Of this amount, £25,085 (2022: £28,275) represents long term loan liabilities which are not due for repayment until more than 12 months from the balance sheet date. After allowing for the above, short term free reserves amounts to £44,565 (2022: £30,018).
Investment Policy
The Trustees do not envisage the charity holding investments in the foreseeable future.
Fixed Assets
The principal items of capital expenditure are set out in note 8 to the financial statements.
Structure, Governance and Management
Constitution
Stricklandgate House Trust Limited is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 27 September 1993.

When a vacancy occurs for a Trustee role then the Trust utilises the experience, knowledge, and networking skills of the Trustees to fill the vacancy. The Trustees are then given responsibilities for particular areas of activity as well as their overall Trustee roles.
With the resignation of the Joint Centre Managers, the Trust began recruitment processes for a full-time manager, which attracted a high caliber of applicants.
Risk Management
The Trustees have identified the major risks to which the charity is exposed. These risks have been reviewed and systems established to manage them. potential for any changes to the present range of risks, especially those concerning Covid-19, and will adjust systems when and where required.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023
1. Accounting Policies
Stricklandgate House Trust Limited is a company limited by guarantee in England and Wales.
Basis of preparation
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 Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019, the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.
The charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A.
Stricklandgate House Trust Limited meets the definition of a public entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
Income
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charitable company is legally entitled to the income, it is reasonably certain it will be received, and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
Voluntary income received by way of grants, donations and gifts is included in full in the SOFA when receivable. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
-
Donated services and facilities are included at a value to the charity where this can be quantified. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.
-
Investment income is included when receivable.
-
Incoming resources from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
-
If income is received but the related performance does not take place until a later accounting period the income will be deferred to that accounting period.
Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.
Charitable activity expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly; others are apportioned on an appropriate basis.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.

STRICKLANDGATE HOUSE TRUST LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023
Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date the accounts are approved. Thus, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life as follows:
| Long leasehold buildings | 2% |
|---|---|
| Furniture & Equipment | 25% |
| Computers | 25% |
Impairment Reviews
Impairment reviews are only carried out where there is some indication that the recoverable amount of a functional fixed asset is below its net book value. If the recoverable amount of the asset is lower than the net book value the loss is recognised and treated as additional depreciation. The revised carrying amount of the asset is then depreciated over its remaining useful economic life.
Accumulated Funds
Accumulated funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
Restricted funds
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. Any overspends are met by unrestricted funds.
Financial instruments
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Debtors
Trade and other 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.
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity 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.
Pension
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company. The annual contributions payable are charged to the SOFA.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
