**GRANBY COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH GROUP COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**_ 

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's memorandum and articles of association, as updated on 14 March 2019, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2019). 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The overall aim of the Granby Community Mental Health Group (GCMHG), widely known as Mary Seacole House, is to provide services to local people who are experiencing mental illness. The area in which GCMHG operates has a high black and racial minority population and the Group's client base and range of services reflect this. 

In this context the objectives of Mary Seacole House are: 

- To provide an informal multi-racial mental health charity and resource service in Liverpool where people experiencing mental health problems can find support. 

- To act as a resource for other mental health services and people interested in mental health services. 

- To help service users achieve their maximum potential for independent living by developing effective coping skills and provide supportive networks. 

- To actively seek to involve members of the BAMER (Black, Asian, Minority, Ethnic, Refugees) communities. 

We have referred to the guidance 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 continue to the aims and objectives they have set.

## **COVID Update** 

This financial year the staff have returned to working in the office using the hybrid model. We have ensured that all offices and areas being used are cleaned regularly and contain the appropriate PPE masks, hand sanitisers etc. for both service users and staff. Any staff showing symptoms are to take a COVID test before returning to the office. 

During COVID-19 we had to adapt the way which we work and support our service users and families the best 

way possible. 

It has been a very difficult period for many of our most vulnerable clients as English is not their first language. Although we have been able to support them via mobile, tablet, and online service, the language barrier has been a significant issue. 

We started working with the Primary Care Network (PCN) and Public Health to support our BAMER service users with the correct information around COVID-19 and provide both language support and translation to ensure that the information is in various languages and videos to share within the community.  We have also been promoting and taking groups of people to get their vaccines for both COVID-19 and Flu, as some are extremely apprehensive.

## **COVID Update (Continued)** 

We have decided to reopen our face-to-face services again, within government guidelines and monitoring protocols ensuring our COVID-19 policy is updated. We have undertaken a full risk assessment and will modify and adapt protocols and practices appropriately. We have been assessing and preparing which services we will provide face to face, and which will remain online. To maintain the most vulnerable service users they will still receive support if they are still shielding or concerned about face-to-face settings. 

## **Financial review** 

The total income for the year was £447,220 (2021: £465,998). The total expenditure for the year was £409,407 (2021: £348,795) giving rise to an overall surplus of £37,813 (2021: surplus of £117,203) consisting of a surplus of £24,129 on the unrestricted funds and a surplus of £13,684 on the restricted funds. 

## **Reserves policy** 

It is the policy of the charitable company to establish and maintain unrestricted funds which are not committed, invested or designated to a specific service. Unrestricted funds not designated are grants, other income or donations which have and can be used freely and allow the trustees the freedom to work to achieve their objectives in whatever way they think is best without any funder restriction or conditions attached. Unrestricted funds usually go toward the operating expenses of the organisation or to a specific service. 

Total funds carried forward at 31 March 2022 were £440,304. Free reserves amount to £142,268 (2021: £118,341). The target for free reserves is 20% - 30% of current expenditure, which is £75,000 - £115,000 based on unrestricted expenditure in the year ended 31 March 2022. 

## **Risk policy** 

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The company was incorporated on 28 May 1996. Charitable status was granted on 17 June 1997.

## **GRANBY COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH GROUP COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**_ 

The trustees, who are also the directors of Granby Community Mental Health Group for the purpose 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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year. 

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- 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; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

**GRANBY COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH GROUP COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF GRANBY COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH GROUP** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Granby Community Mental Health Group (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My examination has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for my examination, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity (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 financial statements of the charity 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 financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable 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, 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 that in any material respect: 

- 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). 

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 financial statements to be reached.

**GRANBY COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH GROUP COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Company information** 

Granby Community Mental Health Group is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 91 Upper Parliament Street, Liverpool, L8 7LB. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The accounts have been prepared on the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts. 

Following a detailed assessment by the Management Team and Board of Trustees and given the level of funds held, it is still appropriate for the 2022 accounts to be filed on a going concern basis. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

_Restricted funds_ are used for the purposes specified by the donor. Expenditure which meets the criteria is identified to the fund. The trustees have considered the treatment of funds as restricted and have reclassified certain contracts as unrestricted. 

_Unrestricted funds_ are donations and any other income received or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and are available as separate funds. 

_Designated funds_ comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **1.4 Income** 

Donations, legacies and other forms of voluntary income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. 

Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are receivable.

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.5 Expenditure** 

Expenditure reflects all amounts paid and accrued during the year. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.  All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource.  Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, support costs are apportioned on an appropriate basis. 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries.  It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

Governance costs represent costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the independent examination fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity. 

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include staff salaries, premises and other costs which support the charity's activities. These costs have been allocated to expenditure on charitable activities. The basis on which support costs have been allocated is set out in note 6. 

## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. 

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows: 

Leasehold Improvements 1% straight line Fixtures, fittings & equipment 20% straight line 

Only capital expenditure in excess of £250 per item is capitalised. 

## **1.7 Impairment of fixed assets** 

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). 

## **1.8 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. 

## **1.9 Financial instruments** 

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. 

## **1.10 Employee benefits** 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. 

## **1.11 Retirement benefits** 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. 

## **1.12 Taxation** 

The charity benefits from various exemptions from taxation afforded by tax legislation and is not liable to corporation tax on income or gains falling within those exemptions. The charity is not able to recover Value Added Tax. Expenditure is recorded in the accounts inclusive of VAT. 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
