Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 January 2023

Achievements and performance

Our existing trustees (Neil Hamilton, Mary Edley, Christine Hamilton, Roland Panek and Brian Coleman) have continued to administer the needs of the charity.

We have looked at our current policies and procedures including a full risk assessment of our building and the activities carried out there. As part of this a number of suggested improvements, a full fire safety report has been actioned. We have also implemented a new financial controls and charitable giving policy. Our gifting policy has continued this year making our regular donations to support organisations who we are associated with. Our main activity in supporting the local community has been the foodbank which has seen an increased demand for people in crisis. However, in 2022 we have also started a neighbourhood café which is run with help from our neighbours for the benefit of the community. This has been recognised by the local area council who have supplied some funding to assist with the running of a warm space of welcome throughout the winter months. Along with these activities we host a monthly dementia friendly safe space called Making Memories which is ran with the assistance of a local partner, Darnall Well-Being.

We are still working with the support of other churches including Rock Christian Centre who provide support for us to be a local distribution centre for their foodbank. We are in good relationship with Meadowhead Christian Fellowship who help us as required with worship and speakers for our Sunday services and one of our trustees Roland is a member of their church. We work with Handsworth Methodist who provide safeguarding training and DBS checks for our volunteers who work on the Open the Book activity which takes Bible stories into schools. This year a new team has been developed with some of our church members to continue this work in schools in our locality.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 January 2023

  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 81 Main Road, Darnall, Sheffield, S9 SHL.

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 treland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

  1. 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.

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 projects or commitments.

|

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 that the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

(a) income from donations is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. ee eneaneeee (b) legacy or grant income is recognised ‘when. receipt is_probable_and.entitlement is.established_—_—__- - (c) income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical __ ee reliably, in which.case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated-resale-value-Donated-——-__——to measure facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.

(d) income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular '_ purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

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:

(a) expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.

(b) expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 January 2023

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Resources expended (continued)

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

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

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: —_ Land and buildings 1% straight line Fixtures and fittings 25% reducing balance Equipment 10% reducing balance

TT

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 cash-generating 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 are 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 anyrelated == st! TO transaction costs. . . oe nian = Current assets.and.current liabilities are.subsequently-measured.at-the cash or other[consideration-expected-to————_———!] pe be paid or received and not discounted. se FSAE a ——-——-——-———-Debt instrumentsare subsequently measured at amortised cost. OT

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 retationship.
