Review of activities 

## Operations 

The effects of post-pandemic London can still be felt and those combined with the cost of living crisis have meant that people, now more than ever, require affordable complementary therapies. This has been reflected by an increase in our income over the previous year. 

Since then, we have been able to slowly increase footfall at our clinic. This has been supported by various updates we have implemented both within our operating systems and making onsite improvements. 

In addition, we have connected with other local organisations (namely the A Way Forward Programme), and put a more magnified lens on our social media to increase our outreach. 

In general, a greater emphasis was placed on our marketing as we worked to establish ourselves back in the community after the 2021 lockdown.

## Report of the Trustees 

## Review of activities 

## Key activities: 

Despite the after effects of Covid still looming in the background as well as the cost of living crisis Pathways Trust continued providing affordable treatments to people on low income in need of health improvement. 

Pathways partnered with the very successful ‘A Way Forward’ programme in which we provided complementary therapies to vulnerable women in externallyfunded Health Coaching Groups. 

We held a very successful open day in Mar 2023 offering free mini taster sessions which were over-subscribed. 

## Fundraising 

We continue our effort to get funding from available channels.  During the year we received a grant to support our general work from Benevity Charitable Giving, an arm of McQuarries, where one of our former trustees worked.

## Notes to the accounts 

## for the year ended 31 March 2023 

for the year ended 31 March 2023 

**1 Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of accounting** 

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) and with the Charities Act 2011. 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

There has been no change to the accounting policies since last year. No changes have been made to the accounts for previous years. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. 

## **Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## **Grants and donations** 

Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources. 

Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance. 

## **Expenditure and liabilities** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. 

## **Taxation** 

As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. 

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts. 

## **Leases** 

Rents under operating leases are charged on a straight line basis over the lease term or to an earlier date if the lease can be determined without financial penalty.

## **Reserve Policy & Risk Management** 

The trustees review their reserve policy periodically and aim to retain an adequate sum to ensure the continuity of its activities. 

This is to ensure that in the event of a significant drop in funding, the charity will be able to continue the charity current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. 

The trustees have drawn up a risk register which provides dates and details of action to be taken to reduce the risks faced by the charity. The charity also purchases a range of insurance.
