African Caribbean Care Group

Directors’ annual report

for the year ended 31[st] March 2022

Introduction

As the charity responded to the continually changing government guidelines for Covid 19 ACCG recommenced face to face services on a reduced capacity due to providing socially distanced services. We have been understanding of the reluctance and hesitance of some service users to being meeting with others socially.

We have seen a steady increase in confidence as service users have welcomed the investment and refurbishment to provide new flooring, furniture and fittings that improve our facilities and enhance a Covid 19 safe environment.

As a member of the Trafford Public Health Engagement Board ACCG ensured we delivered updated Covid 19 and other community information to the board and the local community.

Throughout this period, we have continued to respond to the changing needs of service users adapting services accordingly and introducing new ones.

Activities and Services

Visit By Mayor

ACCG proudly welcomed the Lord Mayor Cllr Tommy Judge and Lady Mayoress to meet with service users, staff and volunteers. Being good sports, they also joined in the popular physical activity session.

Advocacy Information and Advice

There has been a significant increase in the demand and need for this service, driven by the impact of Covid 19 and the continuing financial crisis. This impacted the mental health of many people we have supported, leading to referrals to the appropriate Mental Health support services.

ACCG worked with MACC to enable those eligible for the Household Support Fund to receive a £70 or £100 payment.

Household Support Services

During the winter period ACCG received funds to provide a Household Support service to vulnerable adults required assistance with shopping, light touch cleaning and befriending. Many of the people supported lived alone without a support network. This was a vital lifeline where users established a regular social connection and support.

BBC Comic Relief Appeal 2022

ACCG featured on the BBC’s 2022 Red Nose Day Comic Relief appeal to raise much needed funds for good causes, as well as promoting the great work undertaken by staff and volunteers within the charity. The Red Nose Day appeal raised significant funds for Comic Relief. See the link:

Claremont Food Bank/Parcels

The Claremont Food Bank was established in December 2021 following request and enquiries from potential beneficiaries who told us how much this resource would benefit those in our local community. The food bank has been funded through generous donations from Mac Fresh bakery and food supplies, Rafiki Food Network and Fareshare. It is stocked with ethnic foods, general food and essential supplies.

ACCG delivered food parcels to people struggling to afford food due to low or lack of income. In some cases, we found some people isolated without a support network.

ITV Granada Reports

The impact of Pensioner Poverty was highlighted by ITV Granada Reports featuring ACCG service users giving them a voice to share their experiences and struggles of living on a pension. It was reported that people from Black and Asian communities are twice as like to be living in poverty. This feature clearly demonstrated the need for, and the impact of ACCG’s services on our community. See the link:

Poetry Workshops

ACCG worked with the Poetry Group Young Identity to host three Poetry Workshops which encouraged service users to develop skills with regard using a jotter to collect their thoughts to create poetic verse. Service users really enjoyed the connection with the young people.

Carers Support

ACCG working with our partners within the Carers Manchester Central Partnership continued to support Carers through each step of their caring Journey, ensuring the right support and advice is available when they need. We have sought through various media including pop up stalls, radio, leaflets, and 1-2-1 meetings, to identify those new to the Caring role. Carers have told us how they have valued the regular Carers Forum and short break respite.

Personal Care

Carers have valued the opportunity that ACCG’s personal care and support offer gives them. This service enables Carers to continue in their caring role and employment. Service users are cared for within the Day Centre where they can socialise with others and participate in activities. Since Covid 19 we are supporting a greater number of people with increased levels of need requiring a higher level of care.

Older Peoples voices – Community Reporters

Trafford Borough Council recognised ACCG as a community organisation who played a key role in recovering from this pandemic. With funding, and support from Yellow Jigsaw, we worked with our service users who became older people’s champions and reporters giving them a voice and platform to share interests and concerns on issues affecting them and promote community events and excursions.

ACCG’s Community Reporters held a press conference with Cllr Jo Harding covering topic such as the Age Well Board, GP appointments, rising living costs.

Intergenerational work

The easing of Covid -19 restrictions allowed ACCG to resume intergenerational activities which has been welcomed by all participants. A youth group of around 15 young people planned and led a gardening activity and coffee and chat session with older adults at the Claremont Centre with older adults. Everyone enjoyed the social interaction of this activity.

Claremont Gardens

ACCG has overhauled the gardens at the Claremont Centre with funding received from ScrewFix. We have built large planters using recycled plastic timber allowing accessibility for people in wheelchairs to participate in gardening activities. Old benches and outdoor seating have been upcycled and refurbished allowing for greater use of the Claremont’s great outdoor space. The transformation was undertaken by ACCG volunteers.

Hong Kong Exchange

ACCG through a cultural exchange with the Hong Kong Cultural Community held a special event sharing food, music and activities. Both African Caribbean and Chinese delicacies where shared – Jerk chicken, turnip cake, fried salt fish, plantain and much more was enjoyed by all.

Community Connections

The work undertaken to increase community engagement has resulted in an increased number of people accessing ACCG services. The varied activities compliment services such as the Lunch Club, Delivered Meals and Holistic Therapies.

Through this service we want to strengthen personal connections and improve people’s ability to offer and access help when they need it.

Financial review

The effects of the coronavirus pandemic on ACCG’s finances have been significant, most notably for the trading income lost through lockdowns during the pandemic. The ACCG remains in a stable financial position at the year-end despite challenges and the ongoing impact of the coronavirus pandemic

Reserves policy

The Directors consider it necessary to accumulate reserves on a year-by-year basis to assist service development and service user needs of the communities we serve. ACCG reserves have been used to provide subsidised services to beneficiaries most of who are vulnerable and live within deprived communities with little or no support from others.

The reserves fund represents the unrestricted funds arising from past operating results and from the free reserves of the charitable company. This is intended to protect the charity from the risk of disruption to services at short notice due to lack of funds, while at the same time ensuring the organisation can continue to operate as normal. In the opinion of the Directors, as of 31 March 2022 free reserves were £278,834 of a prudent level.

Our Future Plans

Structure, governance and management

ACCG Directors are elected by members of the charity at the Annual General Meeting. Each candidate nominated must be seconded by another member of the charity. Nominated candidates are required to provide a resume or CV outlining their knowledge and skills that will contribute to the strategic management of ACCG. ACCG Directors Job Descriptions are available to potential applicants.

Under the terms of the Memorandum and Articles Directors are elected to serve for one year after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting. Co-opted Board Directors are interviewed by the ACCG Board on presentation of a CV.

The ACCG Directors constantly review the skills required in areas such as legal, finance, human resources, Medical, nursing, to support the day to day business of the charity.

All Directors are required to undertake ACCG Board development training which is provided by an external organisation.

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 23rd March 1993 and registered as a charity on 23rd March 1993.

Independent Examiner’s report

to the members of

African Caribbean Care Group

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are set out on pages 11 to 28.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

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

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

African Caribbean Care Group

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022

1 Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

a 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), second edition - October 2019 (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

African Caribbean Care Group meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.

b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The directors consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The directors have made no key judgments which have a significant effect on the accounts.

The directors do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

c Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

14

African Caribbean Care Group

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)

d Donated services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the directors’ annual report for more information about their contribution.

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

e Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

f Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the directors have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

g Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

15

African Caribbean Care Group

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)

h Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:

Computer equipment 33% Fittings & equipment 25% to 33% Motor vehicles 25%

i Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

j Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash 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.

k 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.

l Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

m Pensions

Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity’s contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 10. There were outstanding contributions of £874 at the year end. (2021: £1,367).
