Structure Governance and Management

Governing Document

St Columba's Church Day Centre is a private company limited by guarantee without share capital. The company was incorporated on 12 October 1995 and its governing documents are its Memorandum and Articles of Association effective from that date as amended on 27 June 1996 and 26 June 1997. The company is registered as a charity with the Charities Commission. All of the directors are members of the company and along with company members guarantee to contribute £ 1 in the event of the company being wound up. No director has a beneficial interest in the company. Membership of the company is restricted to members of St Columba's Church.

The number of company members at 31 March 2024 was 23 (2023 - 23).

Appointment of Directors

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association one third of the Board of Directors shall retire from office at the Annual General Meeting and may, if willing to act, be re-appointed. New Board Members must either be nominated by the Board or written notice, by some member of the company, must be given to the Secretary seven to twenty-one days prior to the date appointed for the meeting, of the intention to propose a person for election and signed by the person to be proposed confirming their willingness to be elected.

ST COLUMBA'S CHURCH DAY CENTRE

COMPANY NUMBER: 03112805

A PRIVATE COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE WITHOUT SHARE CAPITAL - CONTINUED

Organisational Structure

The Articles of Association allow the Board of Directors/Trustees to consist of not less than five and not more than fifteen members. The current board has six members and meets bi-monthly with interim meetings if required to deal with specific items of business.

The Board is responsible for the oversight and strategic planning of the operation of the Day Centre and the operation of the organisation as a company and as a charity.

The day to day running of the Day Centre is delegated to a manager, appointed by the Board.

The treasurer, who is not a director/trustee, looks after financial aspects of the organisation with some day to day transactions being delegated to the manager.

The manager and treasurer attend board meetings to report, discuss and advise as necessary but have no voting rights.

Risk Management

The directors/trustees have policies in place to ensure compliance with regulations relating to the health and safety of staff, volunteers, service users, and visitors. These include procedures in the event of fire, illness/accident, suspected abuse and to ensure high standards in food hygiene and in the handling of any medicines. The Day Centre operates a no smoking policy.

Risk assessments are carried out in respect of any perceived hazards and procedures developed to minimise any potential risk. These are reviewed at least annually.

In accordance with the service agreement the company complies with the Working Time Directive, which came out on 1 October 1998 and the National Minimum Wage, which came into Force on 1 April 1999 and any subsequent updates.

The directors/trustees have also implemented policies for dealing with complaints, complements, grievance, discipline and equal opportunities.

In accordance with the Service Agreement, the Company has effected with Ansvar Insurance (A business division of Ecclesiastical Insurance Office plc) both public liability insurance and employer's liability insurance.

Related Parties

The Day Centre has a service agreement with Wolverhampton City Council (the Council). The current agreement was extended until further notice and remains in place until a consultation on Adult Social Care re-design is undertaken by the Council. We continue to be listed on the Local Authority ‘Approved List’ of providers.

The Council purchases day care services from the Company through the Social Services Department on a per capita basis for people assessed as requiring the service. This system makes no allowance for client absences, for any reason, and the Day Centre is only paid for the actual attendances although we will be obliged to keep the client’s place open for them.

The Board wish to place on record its thanks to St Columba's Church for continuing to provide premises rent-free, and acknowledges its responsibilities in co-operating with the Church in the upkeep and maintenance of the facilities on site.

Objectives and Activities

When planning the activities for the year the Board of Directors/Trustees have considered the Charity Commissioners' guidance on public benefit. The principal activity of the Company is the provision of day care service to elderly and disabled people, for those referred by the Social Services Department of Wolverhampton City Council and who are accepted by our staff as suitable users of the service.

The objectives of the company are to provide support and assistance to the frail and vulnerable older people in order to:

A PRIVATE COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE WITHOUT SHARE CAPITAL - CONTINUED

Objectives and Activities - continued

The strategies employed to achieve the company's objectives include the provision of:

Volunteers from St Columba's Church and the wider community make contributions to the Day Centre.

Achievements and Performance

The operation of the Day Centre during the year to 31 March 2024 continued to be impacted by the Coronavirus (COVID – 19) pandemic. In April 2023 the Day Centre was open four days a week (Monday and Wednesday to Friday). Since August 2023 the Day Centre opened on a Tuesday and is now open five days a week.

There are 33 independent users taking up 75 places and 13 service users on the Social Services list taking up 38 places. Of those attending the Centre there are 9 individuals who would not be able to stay in their own homes without the support of the Day Centre. A further 26 individuals come to the Day Centre to give carers much needed respite.

Each day a main meal is provided, also beverages and other light refreshments to those attending. A programme of activities designed to reflect the needs and interests of each day’s participants is followed.

The Manager and all her staff continue to maintain a high level of care and support for our users. They are to be commended for their work and their commitment to the Day Centre and its clientele and we thank them most sincerely.

Financial review

The surplus of income over expenditure for the year, at the Day Centre, was £ 29,370 (2023 surplus £ 24,927). The directors/trustees are aware of the uncertainty of future funding, and possible rises in costs of salaries, pension costs, food, energy and fuel for the ambulance are all likely to contribute to future deficits. Accordingly the directors/trustees are appraising revenue and costs for the forthcoming year with a view to ensuring that any possible deficit is minimised.

Stated reserves policy

Unrestricted funds are needed:-

The directors/trustees consider it prudent that unrestricted reserves should be sufficient:-

(a) to avoid the necessity of realising fixed assets held for the Centre's use, and

(b) to cover one years administration fund raising and support costs.

The directors/trustees are of the opinion, after careful consideration of all relevant facts, that the unrestricted reserves during the year to 31 March 2025 should not fall below £ 44,000.

Plans for future periods

The attendance numbers per week increased to around 90 during the year to 31 March 2024 for a four day opening from April to August and then a five day opening for the remainder of the year.

The directors/trustees and manager will continue to monitor the attendance numbers, referrals and income from both Local Authority and independent users and to advertise the facility to appeal to more independent users.

The manager continues to ensure that all staff regularly update their mandatory and other associated training including first aid, moving and handling, health and safety and basic food hygiene, to comply with the highest standards in health and social care as laid down in the Wolverhampton City Council's contract service specifications

Company law 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) requires the directors/trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors/trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). The financial statements are required to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the income and expenditure of the Company for that year.

In preparing the financial statements the directors/trustees are required to:-

The directors/trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the company and that enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The directors report is prepared in accordance with both the 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 2015) and the exemptions available to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ST COLUMBA'S CHURCH DAY CENTRE COMPANY NUMBER: 03112805 A PRIVATE COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE WITHOUT SHARE CAPITAL FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

I report on the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024 which are set out on pages 10 to 21.

Respective Responsibilities of Directors/Trustees and Examiner/Chartered Accountant

In order to assist you to fulfil your duties under the Companies Act 2006, I have prepared, for your approval, the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Income and Expenditure Account, the Statement of Financial Activities, the Cash Flow Statement, the Balance Sheet and the related notes from the accounting records and information and explanations you have given to me.

As a practising member firm of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales (ICAEW), I am subject to its ethical and other professional requirements which are detailed at icaew.com/membershandbook.

This report is made solely to the Company's Board of Directors/Trustees, as a body, in accordance with the terms of my engagement. My work has been undertaken solely to prepare for your approval the financial statements, and state those matters that I have agreed to state to them, as a body, in accordance with AAF 2/10 as detailed at icaew.com/compilation. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's Board of Directors/Trustees, as a body, for my work or for this report.

Basis of Independent Examiner’s/Chartered Accountant’s Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as Directors/Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The Day Centre meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

b. Preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis

The Day Centre reported a net cash inflow of £ 29,638 in the year to 31 March 2024. The inflow resulted principally from operating income exceeding costs. Cash of £ nil was used on acquiring fixed assets in the year. The directors/trustees are monitoring performance and cash reserves throughout the year and adjusting prices for services when necessary. During this period of Government and Local Authority austerity funding from Wolverhampton City Council has been frozen or decreased. Action is taken as required to compensate for this loss in income by generating funds by encouraging more private elderly citizens to use the facilities and services of the Day Centre and various fund raising activities.

c. Depreciation

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives.

At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amount of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is an indication that any items have suffered impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.

d. Deferred taxation

Tax deferred or accelerated is accounted for in respect of all material timing differences to the extent that it is probable that a liability or asset will crystallise.

e. Income

Income comprises amounts received from Wolverhampton City Council, fund raising, private subscriptions, Local Authority Service Users lunches, trip income, food sales, donations, bequests and miscellaneous receipts.

Income is recognised when the Day Centre has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the items of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from Local Authority and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the Day Centre 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.

f. Investment income

Investment income comprises interest receivable. Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Day Centre. This is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank or Building Society.

The Company contributes into two pension schemes in respect of certain of the employees. The assets of the schemes are held separately from those of the Company in independently administered funds. The amounts of the contribution payable to the pension schemes in respect of the accounting year are charged to the income and expenditure account.

The Ambulance fund has been received on the basis that it is to be used solely for the purpose of acquiring an ambulance or similar vehicle when it becomes necessary to replace the existing vehicle used by the Day Centre. In the event that the Day Centre ceases it's activities then the funds, if any remaining, are to be transferred to St Columba's Church so as to be put to use for similar purpose.

PENSIONS

The Company contributes into two schemes in respect of certain of its employees. The total cost for the year was £ 16,542 (2023 - £ 14,918).
