Swindon Carers Centre (Registered number: 03305621)

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and activities

The charitable purposes of the Charity are to relieve the needs of adult, parent and young carers, who are, or were, carrying out a caring role and to support and promote self-help by such means as the Trustees in their discretion think fit.

Our vision of "Creating a community where carers are recognised, valued and supported" and our mission "To improve the wellbeing of people with caring responsibilities in and around Swindon" continue to guide our work and charitable purposes.

We review our aims, objectives, vision, mission, and service provision annually. We are now in the fourth year of our 5-year local authority contract, although we have been told it is going to be rolled over for a further two years at the end of 2022; and are working towards our Strategic Plan for 2021 - 2024. The Plan has been produced following individual staff interviews, staff/trustee workshops and away day planning and surveys of key stakeholders including carers and volunteers. The resulting overarching strategic aims are to ensure Swindon Carers Centre is:

Priorities for the financial year included:

A team of trained and supervised staff and volunteers provide our range of services to deliver these aims and priorities.

The Trustees of Swindon Carers Centre have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. The main benefit which the organisation delivers is support to carers carrying out a caring role for persons with physical or mental health challenges or disability and to promote the development of self-help. This will enable them to have a quality of life alongside their caring role. This benefit is clearly relevant to the organisation's charitable purposes. The main beneficiaries are carers themselves.

The organisation's activities for the year were largely determined by the contracts in force with Swindon Borough Council (SBC) and Bath, Swindon and Wiltshire Clinical Commissioning Group (BSW CCG), and the additional funding obtained from a variety of sources, including Friends of Young Carers Swindon (FOYCS), National Lottery Community Fund, Wiltshire Community Foundation, Carers Trust, Zurich Community Trust, Assura and TE Connectivity.

Volunteering hours 2021-22

Volunteering opportunities have been affected by the Coronavirus pandemic and consequently Swindon Carers Centre has not been able to maximise volunteering opportunities this year, however SCC has still been assisted by many volunteers. Most of these volunteered as individuals, others were employee volunteers, and 3 were student placements. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our volunteers who have assisted in a variety of roles, including:

The value of volunteering to the organisation below uses the minimum wage for individual volunteers, and the average wage of £16.26 per hour for skilled and employee volunteers. This is really an underestimate of the value of the volunteering to us; but gives an indicative figure.

Estimated hours Value per hour Total value
Volunteers to Support Service Delivery 393 £8.91 £3,502
Employee Volunteer Hours 100 £16.26 £1,626
Information Technology volunteers 695 £16.26 £11,301

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

This has been an exceptionally busy year for Swindon Carers Centre. It has been dominated by Covid-19 and we have had to adapt our service provision to meet the requirements of lockdown, social distancing, and increased referrals. We have done a lot of work to help carers stay connected and thrive in their homes via supported digital activities and appropriate signposting to other organisations during this time. The impact of the pandemic on unpaid carers and their families has been huge.

We are now into the fourth year of the 5-year Swindon Borough Council contract for Carer Support Services with the high likelihood of an additional 2-year extension until the end of 2024. The contract started on January 1st, 2018 and runs until 31st December 2022. In September 2021 continuation funding from the National Lottery Community Fund for our Young Carer Champion Award (£147,630 over 3 years) came to an end.

Swindon Carers Centre worked with 79 schools, colleges, and alternative education providers to deliver the Young Carer Champion Award - giving carers a voice and ability to create positive change in their schools and local communities. The support for Young Carers in schools has been vital and throughout Covid-19 we have been able to continue support remotely via digital assemblies and interaction and a Young Carers Leads meeting bringing together best practice from all schools represented.

Our Swindon Employers Care Award continues to gather momentum. Organisations successfully completing the award over the past 12 months include Nationwide and Openwork.

We strive to be an inclusive organisation and have continued to develop this work with a new bespoke project funded by Carers Trust to engage with under-represented minority ethnic carers in Swindon (particularly Asian carers). Our new Community Engagement Officer Monica Chumber is leading on this. We are also reviewing our processes (including recruitment) to aim for best inclusive practice. Training and development opportunities for staff and volunteers continue to be high priority in this area, including Unconscious Bias training. We are represented at the Swindon Inclusion and Diversity Network by our Equalities, Diversity and Inclusion Lead, Debbie Murphy-Myers. Young Adult Carers have been recognised and supported as they make their journey through gender identity, expression, dysphoria and considering transition.

We continue to deliver consultation events with carers (for example, Carers Rights Day event focusing on the importance of support for carers looking after someone with a mental health condition). Our Young Carers Forum won a national Charity Film of the Year award for their film "Baggage" which documents what it is like to be a Young Carer.

In March 2019 we were reaccredited with the Trusted Charity (formerly PQASSO) Version 4 Level 2 award. The Trusted Charity standard exists to build public trust and confidence in individual charities and in the sector as a whole and is a way of making sure organisations are well run, accountable and transparent. All Quality Areas were considered by the assessor to be impressively evidenced and she particularly highlighted the way we develop our services based on feedback from carers; our robust financial controls; learning and development opportunities for staff; excellent leadership and laudable commitment from Board members, volunteers and staff to the aims, values and mission of Swindon Carers Centre. We are currently going through the reaccreditation process for Trusted Charity Level 2 again; and are due to have the assessor visits in April 2022.

In January 2020 we were asked to be one of two Carers Centres in the country to be part of the pilot Excellence for Carers award from Carers Trust. This award is being rolled out across the Carers Trust Network and is a prerequisite for membership moving forwards. We are delighted that following a desktop assessment and on-site interviewing process we met all the criteria outlined in the accreditation and were awarded Excellence for Carers with no recommendations for improvement.

These quality assurance awards help our beneficiaries, commissioners, supporters, donors, volunteers, staff and the public to have confidence that we always work to a high standard.

In March 2022 we won the Wiltshire Life Charity of the Year award, which is excellent recognition of the work we do to support unpaid carers in Swindon.

Leadership and Management

The CEO and Finance and Resources Director were substantive Leadership posts throughout the year, and following a structural review by the Leadership and Management team and service leads for Grant funding and Communications, trustees agreed to an ambitious new Leadership structure to enable capacity to invest resource into growing the organisation and attracting new funding streams. This included new "Head of" roles for Service Delivery (Adult & Older carers team and Parent & Young carers team), Resources, and Business Development. We have also allocated more resource to our Communications team with an increase in work in this area across the whole organisation and externally.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

One new trustee has joined the Board. Elaine Fordham comes to our team with a background in healthcare and education. At the 2021 AGM, Hannah Crawley, Mubbisher Ahmad, Caroline Moore, were re-elected to continue in their roles as Chair, Vice-Chair and Treasurer and Chris Sims was elected Company Secretary. One Trustee, Rob Reeves, previously Company Secretary, stood down from the Board at the AGM due to his other volunteering commitments.

FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial position

The Charity held total funds at 31 March 2022 of £447,163.

We spent £444,441 on helping Adult Carers over the year plus £71,554 on parent carers. Expenditure on Young Carers was £147,582 and on Young Adult Carers (YAC's) it was £19,092. We also spent £5,000 on carers of all ages by distributing food vouchers, and we spent £10,102 on supporting carers to claim the welfare and benefits that they are entitled to. Lastly, we spent £32,315 on supporting schools and young carers to achieve the Young Carer Champion Award, through direct delivery of an accredited learning project led by our Schools Development Manager and £14,721 on an Engagement Officer role funded by Carers Trust to engage with under-represented minority ethnic carers in Swindon (particularly Asian carers). Due to the recruitment of a Grants and Impact Officer we also spent £21,127 on Fundraising.

The organisation has worked hard this year to achieve the aims and priorities set in its business plan. The Care Act 2014 and Children and Families Act 2014 continue to have a significant impact on Swindon Carers Centre, with more carers than ever registering with us.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal funding sources

We would like to thank our main funders: Swindon Borough Council, Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Clinical Commissioning Group (BSW CCG), Friends of Young Carers Swindon, the National Lottery Community Fund, Zurich Community Trust, Wiltshire Community Fund, Carers Trust, Assura and TE Connectivity.

The vast majority of the funding for the delivery of services to carers was received from Swindon Borough Council (SBC), (being a combination of SBC and BSW Clinical Commissioning Group Contract funding). This totalled £586,410 for the year. Additional funding from the CCG and ICA of £85,312 was also received to help support the increased number of carers who have been requesting to register and receive support from us. In addition, significant grants were received from:

Friends of Young Carers Swindon (£45,529), National Lottery Community Fund (£24,679), Carers Trust (£145,737) (£111,983 of this figure is recognised in 21/22 but is part of a 2.5 year grant) Zurich Community Trust (£22,000) Wiltshire Community Fund (£12,500), VAS (£6,664) Assura (£4,955), TE Connectivity (£2,069).

Additionally, we received £2,200 generated through fees for 2 student placements with Swindon Carers Centre plus fees from Swindon Advocacy Movement of £600.

We would like to take this opportunity to extend our thanks to Asda and Waitrose for their generous donations of food, groceries and wellbeing items for carers we have received over the past year. In addition, support for carer events has been received from employees at Zurich and Nationwide, and TE Connectivity helped with funding, printing and posting of our Chatterbox newsletter for carers. Thank you also to Stratton Parish Council for fundraising for us and making us their Charity of the year and to Bath University School of Management for raising funds for us in the Summer.

We have also been supported in the community in the following ways:

Donations (including Gift Aid recovery), our 50/50 lottery and income from fundraising events in the community totalled £13,521, whilst bank interest amounted to £2,573. We are very grateful to Perry Bishop Estate Agents for donating to us every time they sell a house in Swindon! (£450), to RWE for their £1,000 donation, Honda UK (£750), Contact Sales Ltd (£1,000), Waitrose (£333) and lastly SCCR Simsports for raising an amazing £1,285 through running an online car race.

The current risk profile of the major income stream is low due to the forthcoming rollover of the SBC/BSW CCG contract, the need for SBC/BSW CCG to provide statutory carer assessments which we are contracted to deliver; and the increasing awareness by health and social care leaders of the importance of the roles unpaid carers will play as we move to an Integrated Care System where the focus is on keeping people well in the community. However, the Board is aware that the current national climate has been dominated by the impact of Covid-19 and this is still influencing the whole charity/funder landscape. We saw a definite decrease (compared to pre covid years) in the level of donations in 2021/22 and we anticipate this may continue into 22/23 as inflation/cost of living continues to rise. The current SBC/CCG contract is secured funding (with a likely rollover for the following two years) but it is important to identify and implement significant additional income generation plans and to review our cost base to enable SCC to continue deliver a high-quality service and meet future demands. We have invested in a Head of Business Development post to lead on Income Generation, and this post is also supported by a Grants and Impact Officer position. Trustees continue to believe it is prudent and wise to hold reserves which may be needed throughout the current contract, and for possible partnership working and our current levels of reserves give us the flexibility to put these plans into operation.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

Following a review of the reserves policy in May 2022 the Trustee Board has agreed to maintain the current reserves policy, which is based on its understanding of the:

The Trustee Board has set a minimum unrestricted reserve level of £110,000 and an upper limit of £165,000. The Board is aware of the continuing impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on both income and expenditure within SCC and that it may impact the future budgets and plans of our major funders. The Trustees believe that it would be prudent and wise to hold reserves that will cover costs in the event that we are no longer providing a statutory service on behalf of SBC. The figure calculated reflects the cost to pay for grant funded and CORE staff redundancies should we lose the SBC contract and only service delivery staff are TUPED to the new provider. We have also calculated the approximate cost of paying off all outstanding contracted services costs plus a sum of money to cover one month's wages. The Reserves will be maintained, as required, by careful budgeting and management of finances. The Reserves Policy is due to be reviewed in May 2023, or sooner if needed.

General unrestricted funds stand at £215,436, restricted Funds stand at £231,727. Securing a 5-year contract with SBC has given us security in the medium term, allowing us to plan expenditure that will reduce the reserves to be more in line with the reserves policy while also investing time and resources in seeking new funding opportunities and improved efficiencies. Due to some continuing restrictions during the year it has been difficult to spend both our restricted and unrestricted money, we have seen a large increase in carers registering/seeking support, so in the 2022/23 budget we have allocated additional money to frontline delivery services.

The trustees acknowledge that reserves are in excess of the upper limit. Carefully considered plans will be put in place to reduce these reserves where possible.

Funds in excess of immediate cash flow requirements are held in an instant access deposit account at Nationwide Building Society, Metro Bank, in a 35-day notice account with Redwood Bank, and in a 95-day notice account at Cambridge and Counties. Further funds are held in United Trust Bank in a 1-year fixed term account. The choice of these accounts is based on their interest rates and access. The Finance working group considered the option of placing some funds into equities, however it was felt that we still could not guarantee that we would be able to leave the funds for the recommended 5 years minimal investment time in order to achieve the full benefit of investment funding.

FUTURE PLANS

Our key priorities for 2022/23 are:

Our strong partnership work continues with other key stakeholders, including Carers Leads from Swindon Borough Council, Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon, and Wiltshire Clinical Commissioning Group, Great Western Hospital, and Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership, amongst others. The Carers Strategy for Swindon, which was formally published in November 2018 is embedded and measured against. (The Carers Strategy for Swindon was due for review in 2021, but it was mutually agreed with Commissioners that we wait for the publication of the 2021 Census information to inform a full review and update to the Strategy during 2022). We continue to work closely with other Sanford House tenants, including Swindon and Gloucestershire Mind, Citizens Advice Swindon, Swindon Advocacy Movement, and Healthwatch to promote Sanford House and ensure residents in Swindon know and can access the services available to them.

This collaborative work will remain vital as the voluntary sector continues to support vulnerable service users post Covid-19. At the time of writing, the after effects of the Coronavirus pandemic, combined with the escalating Cost of Living crisis, is having a huge impact on service users. We will continue to adapt our service delivery in line with any reintroduction of government guidelines around self-isolation, social shielding, and social distancing.

Our successful IT infrastructure and quality support from a skilled volunteer has ensured we have been able to continue operational delivery seamlessly through a hybrid working model. We will continue that investment in digital technologies, capabilities and expertise.

We are continuing to ensure the voice of carers is strong, and their feedback is vitally important to ensuring their increasing needs are at the centre of commissioning decisions as well as our service development.

We will continue to work with education providers in Swindon to ensure Young Carers have the best chance possible to ensure their health, emotional wellbeing, socialisation, and life opportunities are not compromised and will continue to support carers moving from school into further/higher education or employment.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also the directors of Swindon Carers Centre for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees 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 those financial statements, the trustees are required to

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.

In so far as the trustees are aware:

AUDITORS

The auditors, Monahans, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 19 July 2022 and signed on its behalf by:

Ms H C Crawley - Trustee

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Swindon Carers Centre

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Swindon Carers Centre (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Page 10

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Swindon Carers Centre

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Based on our understanding of the charity and the carer industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to health and safety, employment law, Companies Act 2006 and Charity Law, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements of the charity. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice and Companies Act 2006.

We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related to revenue recognition and management override. Audit procedures performed by the audit engagement team included:

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and the transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Swindon Carers Centre is a charitable company limited by guarantee, without share capital, incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office address, nature of the charity's operations and principal activities can be found in the Trustees' Report.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest pound.

There are no significant areas of judgements or key sources of estimation uncertainty.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Legal status of the Charity

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of:

Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories in the Statement of financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particulate activity are allocated directly. Support costs, including governance costs, are apportioned on the basis of estimated aggregate time expended on each activity.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

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

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Financial risk management

The charity has minimal exposure to customer credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. Please refer to the risk section of the trustees annual report for information on how risks are managed. The charity does not have any non basic financial instruments.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are recorded at cost and depreciation is calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value over their expected useful lives.Fixed assets costing more than £500 are capitalised.

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade 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 three 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 trade discounts due.

Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

Redundancy/termination payments

Termination benefits are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. If the expected settlement date of the termination payments is 12 months or more after making the provision and the effect would be material, the present value of the obligation is calculated using an appropriate discount rate.
