**Age UK Maidstone Chairman's Report for the year ended 31 March 2021**
2020/21 was an unprecedented year in the history of AUKM.
The year was very challenging with many tough decisions made during the covid and pandemic period.
A big thank you to the team, volunteers and for the strong leadership during these challenging times. It was a great team that enabled us to deal with the challenges of working through the pandemic.
Lockdown brought many challenges these included the suspension of some services, delivering services remotely, staff working remotely, setting up additional service during the pandemic (eg meals on wheels) at very short notice. During the pandemic there was a very strong team spirit, collaboration and teamworking to work through the challenges and to succeed and not to let down the elderly in the local community.
The decision was taken to keep the Mill Street office open as a hub during the pandemic period, this enabled us to co-ordinate and deliver effective services at these difficult times & it became a beacon for the elderly in the local community.
The government furlough scheme was used for some staff and immediate action was taken to manage other expenses and costs within AUKM.
In December 2020 the central KKC fund was lost with the West Kent Well Being Services contract being awarded to another party. There was then a period of detailed discussion with KCC, MBC, Age UK National, West Kent Partners & Age UK Kent Consortium to work on transition plans (services and finance) for local services.
These discussions resulted in improved and enhanced working relationships with all key stakeholders and will serve us well as we move into next year.
During the pandemic period the board met remotely on a regular basis to provide strategic guidance, support and advice during these difficult times.
During 2020/21 additional skills and capabilities were added to the board. These included finance, fundraising, Risk & Compliance. Also pleased to report the diversity of the board was also significantly enhanced.
Due to the decisive, clear and timely actions taken by AUKM the charity closed 2020/21 in a solid and stable financial position, with services matching the needs of the local community (given the covid landscape) and in good position to face into the challenges for the coming year.

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
Age UK Maidstone is a non political, non sectarian voluntary body with charitable status working with statutory and other voluntary organisations to promote the welfare of elderly people in any manner which now, or hereafter, may be deemed by the law to be charitable, within the Borough of Maidstone and Kent.
Our priorities are laid out in our Mission statement:
## Our Mission
The provision of Health, Wellbeing and Support to older people working across Kent with similar minded charities
## We believe:
- That older people are entitled to the support that they need to improve their own sense of wellbeing, to achieve independence and to have control of their own lives:.
- That ‘Ageist’ or negative attitudes should not be tolerated
- Age is not a barrier.
- The expectations of older people and their carers can be achieved. That older people should remain free to choose the services and the services and support they require In working with partners to achieve our vision
## Our objectives are:
- To provide a wide variety of services and support aimed at improving the quality of life for elderly people at a price they can afford.
To listen to older people and try to offer person centred support
- To work in partnership with others to this end and seek to educate and influence key decision makers on issues relating to older people.
- To support older people in their homes to maintain their independence and offer temporary access to services where appropriate
- To provide companionship for our clients through a range of specialised services.
When clients need more specialist care than we can provide, we refer them on to other agencies working to secure the support they need. To provide the best services to help older to have full and active lives.
## **Public benefit**
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
## **Volunteers**
Many volunteers had to self-isolate, Kent Fire and Rescue and The Rotary Club stepped in to volunteer.
Trustees would like to thank all our volunteers for their loyalty to the clients whom we are here to support.
We would like to thank the following organisations, which have supported us during the year by providing us with services free of charge or at a reduced rate:
Golding Homes Gallagher's Caremark
We would like to thank KCC , Maidstone Borough Council , Kent Fire and Rescue and The Rotary Club for their continued support.

## **STRATEGIC REPORT**
## **Charitable activities**
## Achievements and Performance
The year 2020 -21 has been challenging, due to the impact of the pandemic. All social groups, day centres and dementia services were suspended; however, we adapted services to support clients in their homes through the setting up of the meals-on-wheels service, dementia outreach and welfare calls and visits.
Throughout the pandemic we continued to operate a foot care service in the area covered by Maidstone Borough Council. The service is delivered by a team of nurses on a full cost recovery basis. The service is available to residents of the borough who are not residing in hospital, are aged over 55 and have been assessed by ourselves as requiring foot care. This service operates under strict medical and Covid guidelines and has been a resounding success. Our service enables the clients to maintain their independence and reduces the risks of falls and subsequent injuries.
Our Community bathing service has continued for those residents of the Borough of Maidstone aged over 55, with a mobility problem or having difficulty getting in and out of the bath. The service has been adapted to meet the new legislation set out by CQC.
The independent living support service continues to develop. The service is designed to assist older people to remain independent in their own homes. Covid meant that we had to adapt the service to meet their needs. We carried out a considerable amount of shopping calls, prescription pick-ups and welfare calls, and continued to provide support with day-to-day tasks, such as cleaning, laundry, bed changing, shopping, gardening, and befriending. We also provided a take home and settle service from Maidstone hospital on behalf of Age UK East Sussex and the West Kent Clinical Commissioning group
## **Financial review**
## **Financial position**
## Financial Review of the Year
Our Income and Expenditure Statement show a surplus for the financial year amounting to **£ 451,921** _(2019/20 deficit £27,590_ ).
Income received totalled **£1,090,226** ( _2019/20: £1,032,204)._
## **Reserves policy**
Consolidated funds now stand at £774,357 (2020/21: £322,436) but of these £73,160 is restricted and £114,993 designated to special areas of expenditure see Note 19 to the Financial Statements. Our consolidated funds are sufficient to fund all of our activities for 6 months.
The trustees’ reserves policy, in respect of both the restricted and unrestricted funds, is to maintain these so that they are sufficient to complete an orderly closure of operations should funding cease.
## **Principal risks and uncertainties**
The Trustees have identified the following as being major risks:
- Resource funding
- Resources-staffing
- Resources-infrastructure
- Regulation of services and provision for the future
Page 3
**Age UK Maidstone Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2021**
## **STRATEGIC REPORT**
## **Financial and risk management objectives and policies**
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the Charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. To this end, the Charity maintains a risk register.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to operations and finances of the Charity and are satisfied that systems and controls are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. As part of the process, the trustees review:
- A detailed budget and cash flow forecast which are reforecast regularly, taking account of variances in income and expenditure.
- Quarterly management accounts although they have also been receiving regular financial updates since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The trustees meet several times per year to review the general financial position of the Charity. The trustees have reviewed the Charity’s own internal financial controls and are satisfied that these are appropriate in minimising any risk to the Charity’s funds.
The immediate risk facing the Charity currently is any ongoing financial uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on income and services provided.. In particular, this has impacted on Day care and Dementia care income. The trustees have assessed to the best of their abilities the current and potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, to ensure that the Charity can maintain its day-to-day activities. The Trustees will take whatever measures they consider to be required during this time to enable the Charity to continue its operations.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document**
Age UK Maidstone is a Charitable company limited by guarantee which was incorporated on 2 April 1997 as Age Concern Maidstone. The Charity is registered with the Charity Commission and governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Constitution. Directors and Trustees receive no remuneration for their work on behalf of the charity.
On 29th February 2012 the charity changed its name to Age UK Maidstone as a company limited by guarantee as the successor to Age Concern Maidstone. The members present at the charities Annual General meeting on 6th October 2011 had voted in favour of the name change on the recommendation of the Directors.
Our Trustees have traditionally been recruited by word of mouth, personal recommendation and via the local Volunteer Bureau. We have been fortunate that the mix of expertise has been sufficient to enable the Trustees to make informed decisions. All new Trustees are given an induction pack which includes a copy of "The Essential Trustee" published by the Charity Commission. They are also assigned an existing Trustee as their mentor and given the opportunity to visit all the various activities of the Charity.
As part of our commitment to quality in the services we provide we are registered with the Care Quality Commission. We applied for ISO 9001 on the 7th February 2014 and were registered on the 20th February 2014 for the provision of social opportunities and outreach services to older people. We are inspected annually on our compliance with our ISO 9001:2015 standard. We were inspected in November 2017 and are reregistered for another three years subject to annual reviews. As a brand partner of Age UK we received support from the national charity through the brand partner payments as a grant, fact sheets, policy responses to Government initiatives and support for campaigning on issues that affect older people.
Any decisions that may affect existing policies, or the agreeing of new policies or procedures, are made by the Board after receiving recommendation from the Board's various sub committees. These are formed to advise the Board on Finance and Business Planning, Care and Personnel. The Board also ask the Chief Executive Officer who attend the Board and its sub committees in an advisory role. Kent Adult Social Care confirmed in their grant application confirmation letter that our grant for the financial year 20/21 would be our last as they would be issuing contracts subject to competitive tender to start from April 1st, 2021 as a result of this the Trustees held an Away Day to review our strategic objectives going forward. As part of the day, we reviewed our Mission Statement. With continuing concerns over the amount of cash reserves we were holding the Trustees continued their on-going review of the prices charged to clients and our reserves policy. Our Trustees having reviewed our cash reserves and have set a minimum target for £50,000 in unrestricted cash reserves for the end of the financial year 2020/21. They also asked the Chief Executive to provide budget models that included no funding from Kent County Council for the Board to consider before setting the budget for 2021/22
Our grant funding for 2020/21 was paid to our lead organisation Age UK Sevenoaks and Tonbridge who then redistribute the monies to partner organisations. The current agreement was due to finish on 31 March 2021.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees (who are also the directors of Age UK Maidstone for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland"
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
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.

**Age UK Maidstone**
**Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2021**
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:
- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
Report of the trustees, incorporating a strategic report, approved by order of the board of trustees, as the company directors, on 26 January 2022 and signed on the board's behalf by:

**Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Age UK Maidstone**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Age UK Maidstone (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Cash Flows 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), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
## **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.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
- the charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
## **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.

**Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Age UK Maidstone**
## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. 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 environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to registered charities, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Charities Act 2011 and other factors such as taxation.
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 manual accounting journals. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
- Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud,
- Evaluating management¡¦s controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities, and
- Identifying and testing manuals accounting journals, in particular any unusual items.
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.
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **1. 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.
## **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.
## **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.
## **Allocation and apportionment of costs**
The cost of overall direction and administration on each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function, is apportioned on the following basis which are an estimate, based on staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity:
|Daycare|30 %|
|---|---|
|Bathing Service|10%|
|Advice and Information|5%|
|Handyman Service|4%|
|Independent Living Service|11%|
|Footcare|3%|
|Befriending|6%|
|Advocacy|20%|
|Dementia Service|7%|
|Transport|4%|
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.
Freehold property - 2% on cost Plant and machinery - 15% on cost Motor vehicles - 25% on cost and 25% on reducing balance
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
## **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.
## **Hire purchase and leasing commitments**
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the Statement of Financial Position. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is shorter.
The interest element of these obligations is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.
