## **Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 December 2022** 

## **Achievements and performance** 

2022 gradually saw us return to a new normal.  The acute problems caused by Covid began to dissipate, but it left communities in a different place. 

Training had moved online, directly impacting our opportunity to generate room hire, people gathered together less frequently, changing the nature of day time activities, but people found jobs in the care sector as their roles became more visible and valued. 

The cost of living crisis, created more destitution and challenges for places like Dyke House; we responded as best we could.  We improved our community space to become a Hygge space; a place for people to be warm and have friendship; we put 10 slow cookers out to be used as a community oven and we converted a training room into a drying space in order to save on fuel and reduce dampness in people's homes. We were able to do so because funders stepped up to help us as our own utility bills went up; we were in a better place than lots of organisations because we had already taken steps to be more energy efficient such as the use of LED lighting throughout the building. 

We launched far more evening activities with mental health support being at its core.  People coming together, having fun, being active and staying warm - meant that our evening activities really took off. Our Empowering Places work, saw all our community businesses continue to thrive; including Annexe Housing with the purchase of our 4th house. 

The Big Local plan was agreed which enabled us to continue to work with the Partnership to help them invest in the area across a wide range of themes; the 3 year plan will see us towards the very final stages of the welcome investment. 

We started to work with Thirteen Group as they chose Dyke House to invest some of their community resilience money; a long term plan to improve Brougham Park came a step nearer with money reallocated from schemes which had drifted. 

Nationally, we have contributed to policy development around a new Community Power Act, which would see more powers devolved to local communities so they that can have more chances to shape their places and the services which are delivered there.  This included giving evidence to a Parliamentary select committee. 

We have also taken on the challenge of addressing the incredibly high rates of internal school exclusions, which deny children their human right to an effective education. We lost our good friend Mr Graham Buttery who left the St. Oswald's parish after 14 years - he was a good man whose counsel and leadership were treasured by many people at Wharton Trust and also the Dyke House area. 

Finally, we want to congratulate Sacha again as he was finally able to receive his MBE from Princess Anne at Windsor Castle.  It is wonderful that his work for Dyke House and the town has been recognised beyond the town; we are grateful for his continued work leading a magnificent team of staff to do great things.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Wharton Trust** 

## **Year ended 31 December 2022** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Wharton Trust ('the charity') for the year ended 31 December 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 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 the charity’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** 

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies. 

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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

3. the financial statements 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 financial statements 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).

## **The Wharton Trust**

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Wharton Trust** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 December 2022** 

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.

## **The Wharton Trust** 

## **Company Limited by Guarantee** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** 

## **Year ended 31 December 2022** 

## **1. General information** 

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is The Annexe, Wharton Terrace, Hartlepool, TS24 8NS. 

## **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 Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006. 

## **3. 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. 

## **Judgements and key sources 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. 

## **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 project or commitment. 

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.

## **Company Limited by Guarantee** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 December 2022** 

**3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

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

- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. 

- legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. 

- income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated 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. 

- 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: 

- expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. 

- 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. 

- other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. 

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.

**The Wharton Trust** 

## **Company Limited by Guarantee** 

**Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 December 2022** 

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Tangible assets** 

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities.  A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities. 

## **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: 

|Freehold property|-|2% straight line|
|---|---|---|
|Fixtures and fittings|-|25% reducing balance|



## **Investment property** 

Investment property is initially recorded at cost, which includes purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure. 

Investment property is revalued to its fair value at each reporting date and any changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. If a reliable measure of fair value is no longer not available without undue cost or effort for an item of investment property, it shall be transferred to tangible assets and treated as such until it is expected that fair value will be reliably measurable on an ongoing basis. 

## **Defined contribution plans** 

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. 

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
