TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (continued)

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (continued)

Activities

Provide child care services to parents and carers of those children under school age.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The main achievement of the charity is to provide a safe, happy learning environment for each child. To provide them with a supportive environment in which they can thrive.

Provision is made to be inclusive of all learning needs with emphasis on the growth and development of each child.

BPS has it's place in the heart of the community of Looe. The impact of the pandemic has continued to hit families both financially and mentally. BPS has strived to continue providing a service to local families and give the young children and their families in it's care a safe, supportive and structured place to thrive.

It has provided a place for parents to come and feel supported in a confidential environment.

We have further enhanced the outdoor learning area, thus giving access to the children's area for play and structured learning zones. These learning zones are used to enhance the children's knowledge of the environment and the impact of their lives both in the local community and on a global scale.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

We have finished the financial year in a good position. It has been a massively stressful time due to the uncertainty created by Covid-19. The financial support the government provided in terms of the furlough scheme and the usual government grant income has meant that we have still been able to run an effective business and not accumulate any debt. We have been able to ensure adequate money in the reserve fund has remained in place.

£10,500 is held in reserve in case of any issues. This would cover running costs and redundancies over a 3 month period.

The trustees' annual report was approved on 12 January 2023 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BARBICAN PRESCHOOL

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Barbican Pre-School ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2022.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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.

BARBICAN PRE-SCHOOL

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is Trewint Crescent, Barbican, East Looe, Cornwall, PL13 1ET.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

GOING CONCERN

There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue.

DISCLOSURE EXEMPTIONS

The entity satisfies the criteria of not being a larger charity as defined in FRS 102 Charities SORP. As such, advantage has been taken of the exemption of preparing a cash flow statement.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

FUND ACCOUNTING

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

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:

BARBICAN PRE-SCHOOL

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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.

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:

Equipment - 10% reducing balance

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

GOVERNMENT GRANTS

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.

Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.

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.
