Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2024

Structure, governance and management

The charity is registered under the Companies Act 2006 and is limited by guarantee. Its objects and constitution are defined in its Governing Document, The Memorandum and the Articles of the Association.

The directors of the company are also charity Trustees for the purposes of charity law and are known as members of the management committee. The members who served throughout the year and up to the date of this report are listed on page 1.

Raphael Centre's board had one resignation in January 2024, and continues in strength, with trustees meeting monthly to put their collective experience of construction; corporate practice; marketing; charity communications, and social care at the charity's service. As per the previous report, the board seeks to expand its expertise by seeking trustees with a strong financial background and/or building expertise, for instance, a retired building surveyor and/or a retired accountant. To express interest in joining the trustee board, please contact e.winkler@raphaelcentre.org

Objectives and activities for the public benefit

The objects of the charity are as defined in the charity's governing document and continue to be to provide care and associated facilities for adults who by reason of genetic or other disabilities are mentally handicapped and in need of care and support to assist them in overcoming poverty or conditions of hardship or distress and to enable them to live as full and independent a life as possible. Please note: This description is based on terminology in the charity's memorandum which trustees recognise needs to be updated. The trustees are starting the process of rewriting it.

Achievements and performance

Full-time manager since 7 November 2023, Nick Blount has helped Raphael go from strength to strength, facilitating Raphael Centre's unique holistic approach to flourish while ensuring compliance and financial sustainability.

Staffing and Training

We have lost and gained staff members this year. Raphael Centre has increased staffing in line with the increase of residents' one-to-one hours: currently 12 members of staff work weekly (full and parttime) with four bank staff to call on. There will be a further two full-time staff added following the arrival of two new residents December 2024.

We no longer have a part-time cleaner on the payroll; cleaning is now done by existing staff and residents.

All-staff mandatory health and social care training and funding is lined-up for 2025 new year.

There will be a staff pay review in February 2025 (as per the last two years); this will be in line with the national minimum wage increase in April 2025.

The police investigation arising from a previous manager's dismissal (May 2022) continues; the fraud case file is currently pending review by the case progression team (regarding final compliance checks) and Raphael Centre awaits to hear once it has been submitted to CPS.

Tenants Report

The ninth room will finally be tenanted after being untenanted for two years (since August 2022) whilst it was made habitable due to damp repairs; a tenth room has been enabled by moving the office from the first floor to second floor kitchen (historically where the office used to be).

Two new tenants will be moving (25th November and the second one start of December 2024).

The tenants' service charge, which has not risen for several years, will rise from £40 per week to £50 per week starting from 1 December 2024; this will cover increases in utilities and communal food.

In the new year the manager will conduct a tenant satisfaction survey in line with council guidelines.

Financial review

Raphael Centre continues to show a surplus, and this will increase with the two new residents, bringing-in an additional income of approx £1,000 per month from housing benefit and additional oneto-one support hours.

Raphael Centre continues to cost every aspect of its operation in order to provide costed evidence for a housing benefit review with consultants MRAssociates; this includes creating a realistic and sustainable sinking fund for foreseen and unforeseen repairs; this has been set for £2,000 per month from January 2025.

The landlord's rent charged to Raphael Centre will be increased for the first time for at least five years from just under £44,000 pa to 50,000 pa.

Raphael Centre continues to review its policies particularly around Finance, Safeguarding and Medications in line with best practice, and these will be reviewed again in the new year 2025.

The Fire Safety audit has been signed off. Raphael Centre meets all standards required. The fire alarm has no problems but it may be changed in a few years.

Reserves Policy

The charity requires sufficient reserves, in the form of working capital, in order to operate. The management committee considered that a level representing three month's trading expenses is justifiable.

Historically levels of reserves have been substantially below this figure. The charity aims to increase its reserves to that level as trading conditions permit, but not at the expense of the aims of the charity. This policy will be reviewed annually by the management committee before the Annual General Meeting, and submitted to the meeting for approval.

Investment Policy

Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year most of the money is spent in the short term so there are few funds for long term investment. Having options available, the Management Committee has decided to invest the available funds in ethical deposits. This has been the policy for many years and the Management Committee has been satisfied with the return from this type of deposit. It is also opening a high interest savings account.

Financial review (continued)

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The Management Committee has conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces. External risks to funding cannot be influenced but are monitored closely. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects.

Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, and residents. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the charity.

Policies and procedures are reviewed annually. Residents' needs are reviewed as and when hourly and daily, and regularly documented monthly in paper records.

Staff supervisions are conducted as required, usually every 6-12 weeks.

Small company provisions

This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Raphael Centre

Year ended 31 March 2024

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Raphael Centre ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

The trustees are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of 'Accounting body'. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charity’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 Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

 to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met, or

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached."

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Raphael Centre

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2024

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets (continued)

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Fixtures and fittings - 25% reducing balance

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

11

Raphael Centre

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2024

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.

The company is limited by guarantee not having share capital.
