## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 MARCH 2024. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities’ 2015 (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity. 

Charities Act 2011 requires us to prepare financial statements for each financial period 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 Charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements we are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2015; 

- make judgments 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 a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business. 

We are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. We 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. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims for the public benefit.** 

The company is a registered charity, a company limited by guarantee and is governed by its memorandum and articles of association. 

The Family Centre aims to provide quality family support services to promote the health, wellbeing and learning development of children and their families in an area of multi deprivation. Services provided include: The Food Stop Community Shop, Community Connect wrap around support services, Birchwood Brunch, Birchwood Coffee mornings for the over 60’s, ReNa meetings (Renew New Addington) Laundry facilities and more. 

In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. 

The Trustees and staff have reviewed the services offered by the Centre with a view to further respond to the changing needs of the community. 

This review looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those groups of people we are set up to help. The review also helps us ensure our aim, objectives and activities remained focused on our stated purposes. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim 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. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

The Family Centre has a strong track record as a community-based organisation, empowering residents in New Addington North and New Addington South. Over the 25+ years since our inception we have become a respected, responsive, and trusted ‘first port of call’ in the heart of the community. Our ethos of delivering projects that meet local need is embedded in everything we do.

**CHARITY NUMBER: 1064222** 

We provide a range of opportunities and targeted interventions to enhance the lives of residents so they can realise their health, educational, social, and housing and employment aspirations. The main beneficiaries of Community Connect are families who are just about managing, including those affected by welfare reform. Complex financial/social problems can cause stress and anxiety to the point where people cannot see the wood for the trees-they lose all sense of empowerment. Community Connect gently hands back responsibility by helping residents take back control. 

## **Review of the year** 

A Joseph Rowntree report has stated that there are a staggering 7.2 million people living in food poverty and food insecurity in 2022-2023 an increase of 53% on the previous year. These are levels of hunger on an unprecedented scale. Food price inflation is at levels not seen for some 45 years, forcing families to skip meals, as well as other essentials such as heating their homes and taking a shower. A lack of household security can lead to physical and mental health consequences for those affected. The Food Stop and Community Connect provides wrap around support empowering residents to know their rights and seek benefits that they are entitled to. 

## **The Food Stop community shop** 

Tuesday 9.30am- 12.30pm & Wednesday 9.30-12.30pm Extended hours can go on until 1.30 if we have a high volume of residents.

As the charity’s trustees’ you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“The Act”).

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- The Accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- The accounts did not accord with the accounting; or 

- The accounts do not comply with applicable requirements concerning the form and the content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) regulations 2008 other than any requirements that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

THE FAMILY CENTRE FIELDWAY NEW ADDINGTON (CHARITY NUMBER: 1064222) ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

## **a) General information** 

THE FAMILY CENTRE FIELDWAY NEW ADDINGTON is a charity registered in England and Wales, the charity is registered with companies house. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. 

## **b) Basis of preparation** 

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognized at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 (as updated through Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016), the Charities Act 2011. 

The charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A. 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention and are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1. 

## **c) Funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes or for specific artistic projects. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **d) Income recognition** 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the income, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the income and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the general income recognition criteria are met. For donations to be recognized, the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. 

No amount is included in the accounts for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102). 

**- 10** 



THE FAMILY CENTRE FIELWAY NEW ADDINGTON (CHARITY NUMBER: 1064222) ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH2024 

**NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. Where legacies are notified to the charity but it is not possible to measure the amount expected to be distributed, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed. 

Income from government and other grants are recognized at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met, these are deferred. 

Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless specified otherwise 

## **e) Expenditure recognition** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognized where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose. 

## **f) Support costs allocation** 

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, administrative and payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. 

## **g) Debtors** 

Debtors are measured, on initial recognition, at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received 

## **h) Creditors** 

Creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date 

## **i) Tax** 

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charity for UK corporation tax purposes.
