THE NORRIS GREEN COMMUNITY HEALTH FORUM TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2121
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2121.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the Charities Act 2111 and the ‘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 2119)’.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing Document
The Norris Green Community Health Forum is a non-profit association and is controlled by its governing document, a written constitution adopted on 25 August 1994.
Organisational Structure
The Norris Green Community Health Forum is a registered charity with The Charity Commission, Charity Number 1044190 and was registered on 15 February 1995.
It is managed by a committee of trustees who meet twice a year. Ordinary meetings and one AGM special meeting may be called at any time by the Chairperson or by any two members of the executive committee upon not less than 4 days’ notice being given to the other members of the executive committee of the matters to be discussed but if the matters include an appointment of a co-opted member then not less than 21 days’ notice must be given.
Risk Management
The Trustees are aware that the main area of risk is the cost of managing and sustaining the project. The Board of Trustees regularly reviews the organisation's reserves and is seeking to maintain a level of unrestricted funds to meet three months core running costs.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
When planning and programming activities for the local residents of Norris Green, the Trustees are mindful of the Charity Commission’s guidelines on Public Benefit.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Norris Green Community Health Forum was formed in 1994 to promote the preservation of the health and wellbeing of persons resident in Norris Green in particular by advancing the education of the public in the promotion of health awareness, health issues and health problems.

NORRIS GREEN COMMUNITY HEALTH FORUM TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT - CONTINUED For the year ended 31 March 2121
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
During the year we had 3 full time staff, 1 part time staff member and 2 part time staff that worked term time only.
Covid 19 caused the charity to close in March 2020 and all staff were furloughed. The charity remained closed till August 2121 when things started to settle down, however, the charity closed again in January 2021. Covid 19 had a devastating effect on the charity and we don’t know if we will ever get back to the numbers we had before we closed. It is extremely difficult to increase numbers as many parents are still working from home.
We will continue to look for further funding and try to maintain our numbers but we are finding it hard as all other charities are looking for funding as well. We fell behind with rent payments but were given two free months.
We welcome Gemma Green as our new chair. Gemma has been a named person with Ofsted for many years and has also worked for the charity advising on legal matters.
RESERVES POLICY
The trustees regularly review reserves and have a policy to keep them uncommitted or invested. The trustees aim to have reserves to cover 3 months running costs.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
The charity received a £5,000 small businesses grant from Liverpool City Council that covered some of the lost income from Covid and we hope to get more in the future. In addition the charity received £25,298 from HMRC re the Covid job retention scheme funding.
The future plans are for the committee to take an active role in helping to secure funding for future development and sustainability of the project. To access funding and grants so staff and committee members can enhance their training needs for the ever changing criteria for child care workers. To help the manager with new policies and procedures and to look on how the committee can attract new members.
To keep networking with other organisations to make sure that the service we are offering is what the local residents and our parents want. To develop the outside room so children can still go outside when the weather is bad.

THE NORRIS GREEN COMMUNITY HEALTH FORUM STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES For the year ended 31 March 2121
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give true and fair view of the fund's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year.
In preparing accounts giving a true and fair view, the trustees should follow best practice and:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice
-
have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the accounts;
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the fund will continue in operation
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the fund and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the applicable law. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the fund and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
ON BEHALF OF THE TRUSTEES:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NORRIS GREEN COMMUNITY HEALTH FORUM
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2121 set out on pages 8 to 17.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2111 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is required. It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
a. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
b. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation and accounting convention
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared under the historical cost convention, the Charities Act 2111 and ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities’ 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 2119). The charity has taken advantage of the disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102, the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity and monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
Going Concern
At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees have reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.

All incoming resources are included on the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy

Grants and Performance Conditions
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specific service or output.
Grants payable without Performance Conditions
These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to the grant which remain in the control of the charity
Fixed assets for use by the Charity
All equipment, fixtures and fittings with an original cost of less than £500, are written off in the year in which the expenditure was incurred on the basis that due to the nature of the charity’s activities, there is no expectation that the cost of the assets will be recovered in the way of future revenues
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. The following rates and methods are used:
-
Fixtures, fittings & equipment – 21% on a straight line basis
-
IT equipment – 33.3% on a straight line basis
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.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities and is not registered for VAT. As a registered charity the company benefits from rates relief.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds - can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds - can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
