BRACKEN TRUST LIMITED
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The Trustees present their annual report with the Financial Statements of the company for the year ended 31 March 2021.
The Financial Statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the memorandum and Articles of Association, 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 (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
OUR PURPOSES AND ACTIVITIES
The Bracken Trust Limited is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. This states the main object of the company is that of the relief of persons suffering from long-term or terminal illness and in particular by:
-
1 a) The provision of palliative care, b) The provision of advice, support and counselling service for them and their families and carers, and
-
2 The relief of sickness arising from bereavement by the provision of an advice and counselling service.
The company is limited by guarantee and does not have a share capital. Each Trustee is also a member of the company and as such is liable, on the company being wound up, to contribute such a sum as may be required not exceeding £1.00.
PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT
The Trust has complied with its duty as a charity and has throughout the year publicised the information and support that is available to patients, their carers and the bereaved.
This publicity has taken on various forms including our website, newsletters, articles and publicity in the local newspapers and on television, as well as public information and open days.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Total Income in the year was £306,031 compared to £308,252 in 2020. Expenditure decreased in the year to £244,288 compared to £288,768 in 2020.
Net Income for the year was £61,743 compared to £19,484 for the previous year. The net movement in funds were net income for Unrestricted Funds of £377,099 (2020 Net income - £22,035) and net expenditure for restricted Funds of £315,356 (2020 Net expenditure - £2,551). A detailed breakdown of Income and Expenditure is provided in the notes to the Financial statements.
Principal Funding Sources:
Details of principal funding sources in the year are provided in note 2 on page 9 of the Financial statements.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets, or held in designated funds, (‘the free reserves’) held by the Charity should be approximately twelve months of budgeted expenditure not funded by The National Lottery Community Fund which is estimated at approximately £180,000 (2020 - £180,000). At this level the Trustees feel they would be able to continue the current activities of the Charity and the actual free reserves at 31 March 2021 increased to £127,201 (2020 - £97,634).
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
The Charity continues to seek funding for future years and to sustain and enhance the current provision at The Trust for the benefit of patients.
The Charity has secured a loan and grants from the WCVA to enable it to purchase a shop in a prime position in Llandrindod Wells thus enabling it to have a charity shop open all year (3 days per week) instead of renting one for four weeks of the year. The building also has a flat within which will be let out to provide an additional source of income.
The existence of the charity shop will provide an income for The Charity, provide it with a base in the town centre and bring together our community of volunteers.
It was anticipated that the purchase of the shop would take place on 31st March 2021, but in the event, the purchase was finalised on the 1st April 2021.
The Charity is looking to work with its Public Sector partners, to further extend its services by providing an extension to its existing building at Cefnllys Lane.
Whilst working within the Covid-19 regulations for healthcare establishments, The Charity will reopen its hubs in Knighton, Llanidloes and Llanwrtyd Wells extending its services into these communities and enhancing the support available to patients, their carers, families and the bereaved.

BRACKEN TRUST LIMITED REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Charity relies on voluntary help, the value of which cannot be quantified, legacies, donations, fund-raising income, and grants to fund its activities at The Bracken Trust, Cefnllys Lane, Llandrindod Wells, Powys, used by the company as a Cancer Support Centre.
With the sustained publicity, the Charity continues to increase the number of patients and membership, even in a year dominated by Covid-19.
Covid-19 has had a considerable impact on The Charity over the year. It has had to develop new ways of supporting its patients, with greater emphasis on telephone and support via Zoom and Teams. This support has been much appreciated by patients especially during the lockdown periods.
During non-lockdown periods, patients were invited into The Charity to meet Nurses, Counsellors and Therapists in a controlled and safe environment.
There has been little opportunity for any fundraising events during the year, but The Charity has been successful in attracting grants which have sustained it during this challenging time.
LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATION
Legal and administration details are given on page 1.
GOVERNING DOCUMENT
Bracken Trust Limited is a company limited by guarantee and a registered Charity governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. Under those Articles, one third of trustees are elected annually by the members of the Charitable Company attending the Annual General Meeting, or if their number is not three or a multiple of three, the number nearest to one third shall retire from office.
ORGANISATION
The business of the Charity shall be managed by the trustees with the assistance of the Chief Executive and Senior Nurse appointed by the Trustees who manage the day-to-day operations of the Charity.
RISK REVIEW
The Trustees have conducted their own review of the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure they still meet the needs of the Charity.
TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees, (who are also directors of Bracken Trust 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).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare Financial Statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these Financial Statements, the Trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the Financial Statements.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the Financial Statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2015) and in accordance with special provisions of Part 15 to the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation
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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. The charity is not required to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
Preparation of Accounts on a Going Concern Basis
The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Exemption from Preparing a Cash Flow Statement
The charity opted to adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements .
Income
Income including capital grants for the purchase of fixed assets are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when these are receivable.
Income represents amounts receivable in the year for income for donations, grants, therapy receipt donations, fund-raising, subscriptions including life memberships and interest received.
Incoming resources in the form of donated assets have been included in the Income and Expenditure Account at a reasonable estimate of their value and capitalised where appropriate
Expenditure
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis inclusive of VAT which cannot be recovered. Expenditure is directly attributable to specific activities and has been included in cost categories of costs of generating funds, charitable expenditure provision of hospice and governance of the Charity. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to these categories in respect of administration expenses and depreciation of office and computer equipment, it is estimated based on activity levels that 90% of these costs are attributable to Charitable Activities and 10% to Governance.
Tangible Fixed Assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:
Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment - restricted 10% on cost - unrestricted 10% on written down value Office and Computer Equipment 33.33% on Cost
The residual value of Freehold Property is considered to be at least equal to the carrying value of in the Financial Statements and therefore no depreciation has been provided on the buildings as this would be immaterial. The Freehold Property, The Bracken Trust, was revalued at 31 March 2016 and this valuation has been adopted as the deemed cost of the property in applying the provisions of Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
Voluntary Help and Gifts in Kind
No value has been put on the voluntary help received during the year. There are also numerous small gifts that cannot be quantified.
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

BRACKEN TRUST LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Debtors
Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any discounts due.
Cash at Bank and in Hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of twelve months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Creditors and Provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts due.
Accounting for Separate Funds
The financial statements of a charity must differentiate between restricted and unrestricted funds.
Restricted funds are funds subject to specific conditions, imposed by the donor or by the specific terms of the charity appeal less amounts expended for these purposes. Designated funds are income funds of the Charity which have been set aside for specific purposes, less amounts expended for these purposes. Unrestricted funds are all the other funds of the charity.
Pensions
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for its employees. The assets of this scheme are held separately from those of the charity, being invested with insurance companies. Pension costs charged in the Statement of Financial Activities disclosed in note 7 represent contributions payable by the charity in the year.
