REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The trustees, some of whom are also the directors of the company for the purposes of the Companies Act, present their annual report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.

Structure, Governance and Management

Status

The charity’s governing instrument is the company’s Memorandum & Articles of Association.

The charity is managed by its trustees, who are also company directors, through its Executive Committee. The Executive Committee shall not be more than twelve members. At the end of each annual general meeting all Executive Committee members shall retire from office but they may be re-elected or re-appointed.

The charity is also a company limited by the guarantee of its members, it has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding-up is limited to a maximum £1.

Risk Management

The trustees have examined the major risks which the charity faces and seek to control these risks to mitigate any impact that they may have on the charity.

Objectives and Activities

The principal charity objective is to promote the care, treatment and education of mentally handicapped children and adults in the Hounslow area of Greater London and to secure for mentally handicapped people, provision commensurate with their needs. The Trustees have had regard to the Charites Commission’s guidance on public benefit

During the year the charity was supported by grants and rental subsidy by the London Borough of Hounslow.

Achievements and performance

The charity has continued to successfully further its charitable objectives during the year. The trustees will continue to strive to maintain the service provided to meet the increasing needs of the service users.

Financial Review

The trustees consider the financial position at the year-end to be satisfactory. There was a net loss of £27,832 for the year ended 31 March 2022, this loss was attributable to a catch up of prior years lease costs and lost income for part of the year as the centre had to remain closed until September 2021 in response to government guideline due to the Covid 19 pandemic, in addition when the centre was able to reopen it had to do so with a reduced number of attendees which reduced the income earned in the period. The centre has not received any financial support from government funded Covid grants or furlough schemes during the period in which the centre remained closed.

Reserves Policy

The charity’s policy is to hold reserves sufficient to cover six months operational expenditure. The reserves throughout the year and at the year-end fell short of this policy but now the centre is fully re-open the charity expects to rebuild the reserves to the required level..

The reserves include a designated property reserve £35,000 as a provision against future property maintenance costs

Directors/Trustees' responsibilities statement

The trustees (who are also directors of Hounslow West Mencap Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HOUNSLOW WEST MENCAP LIMITED

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31[st] March 2022 which are set out on pages 4 to 8.

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

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. General information

The charity is a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The company’s registered number and registered office address is Aissela, 46 High Street, Esher, Surrey, England KT10 9QT.

2. Statement of Compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the UK and Republic of Ireland’, the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP) (FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Hounslow West Mencap Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

3. Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies are set out below. The accounting policies have been adopted consistently throughout the year.

Basis of preparing the financial statements

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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and are prepared on a going concern basis.

Hounslow West Mencap Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

Judgements and key source of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for a minimum 12 months from the authorisation of these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

Covid 19 statement

In March 2020 the centre was forced to temporarily close in accordance with UK government guidelines to ensure the safety of it’s clients and employees as a result of the worsening Covid 19 situation. Apart from a short period in Aug 2021 when the centre was able to open again it has remained closed since March 2020 but has since reopened in September 2021 to a limited number of clients. However, the local council continues to support the charity through an existing monthly grant which covers employee costs, other costs of running the centre are manageable within the reserves the charity has built up for the foreseeable future provided the local council maintains the current monthly grant. As a result of receiving this monthly grant the charity has not been able to take advantage of any government relief schemes which would further support the charity.

Income

Income represents grants, fees, fund-raising and interest on deposit account. The day unit provides week-day activities and training (which is part funded by London Borough of Hounslow) for borough residents and others for mentally handicapped people.

Expenditure

Expenditure is charged to the statement of financial activities on an accruals basis.

Equipment

Purchases of equipment are written off in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year of purchase.

Depreciation

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

Household building improvements Fully depreciated

Motor vehicles 20% per annum on cost
