## **Achievements and performance** 

## **TCL REUSE CENTRE** 

The National lockdown due to the Covid 19 pandemic saw the reuse centre closed from April until 6th July 2020 just after the lockdown was lifted. During this period the reuse charity purchased and installed a new mezzanine floor in the building adding a further 2500 square feet of usable space to the property, the downstairs of the building underwent a major refurbishment including a major electrical rewiring overhaul. The Reuse centre saw a greatly increased footfall once the Lockdown was lifted, however, the reuse centre was completely closed on 11th December 2020 due to a Covid outbreak amongst the staff. The centre then remained closed beyond the close of the financial year. Rent received from the Reuse centre to Teen Challenge increased from £3,000 to £4,000 per calendar month to fall in line with the appropriate rental value after the increase in floor space. The reuse centre is on a full repairing and insuring occupancy whilst in the building. 

## **Wilkerson House** 

The occupancy level for Wilkerson House was 15.9   This was a decrease of 1.2 over the year compared to 2018/19 which was 17.1. 

With the National lockdown due to Covid 19 pandemic we implement and adhered to all government guidelines and restricted all access to Wilkerson house. Strict guidelines were followed however in December there was an outbreak of the virus amongst the staff and residents. Most staff had to remain at home and only several live in staff remained on duty. The house was in complete lockdown with no access allowed. Thankfully the house recovered and the guidelines continued to be observed, a number of staff were furloughed during this period and up to and beyond the end of the financial year. 

The new minibus was purchased in September for £26,520 of which £13,260 was donated by the Lind trust. The full amount was raised by Rev Stephen Derbyshire chair of the board of Trustees. 

## **Outreach Report** 

Due to the Covid 19 pandemic and the Lockdown all outreach work and church presentations ceased during this financial year.

## **TEEN CHALLENGE LONDON** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_ 

## **Financial review** 

Incoming resources for the year stood at £683,376 (2020 - £619,504).  The net incoming resources amounted to £201,080 (2020 - £53,818).  Voluntary income amounted to £375,191 (2020 - £336,310) and represented 54.9% (2020 - 54.3%) of the charity’s total income. 

The majority of ongoing resources have been utilised on charitable activities related to supporting residents at the centre for those with addictions: staff costs for services and support, expenses directly relating to the residents, and the ongoing costs of the premises themselves. 

The net assets shown in the balance sheet amounted to £1,012,226 (2020 - £811,145).  Included in the above figure are freehold properties shown at cost of £1,508,882 (2020 - £1,508,882). 

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to be approximately 10 months' expenditure which amounts to approximately £420,000. The trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. At the year end the level of reserves, excluding the freehold land and buildings, improvements to property and related loan amounted to £256,367. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. 

## **Investment strategy** 

The reserves are held on cash deposits, and although consideration has been given to alternative forms of investment, the Trustees decided to retain the cash deposits. 

## **Risks** 

The trustees has 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. 

## **Future Developments** 

- To follow all government guidelines in regards to Covid restrictions. 

- To re-engage with churches and begin rebooking visits for the redeemed. 

- To look at costing and implementing a fundraising campaign for the refurbishment and expansion of Wilkerson House. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and was incorporated on 22 April 1998.  The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF TEEN CHALLENGE LONDON** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Teen Challenge London (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2021. 

## **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 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.

## **TEEN CHALLENGE LONDON** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

Teen Challenge London is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Essex House, 8 The Shrubberies, George Lane, South Woodford, London, E18 1BD, United Kingdom. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements 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 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 financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Trustees have assessed the impact of COVID-19 on the charity and are aware that donations are likely to reduce in the forthcoming year.  A six monthly mortgage payment holiday has also been approved. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **1.4 Incoming resources** 

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 or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Donated services and assets are recognised when the charity has control over the item, and conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. 

Government Grants are recognised when received or when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.5 Resources expended** 

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 that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

Charitable activities comprises 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 include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the independence examination and professional fees linked to the strategic management of the charity. 

Support costs are allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, as indicated in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** 

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

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: 

|Freehold land and buildings|See below|
|---|---|
|Improvements to property|10% on cost|
|Fixtures and fittings|25% on cost|
|Computers|33% on cost|
|Motor vehicles|25% on cost|



The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. 

Since in the opinion of the Trustees, the freehold properties are maintained in a state of repair such that their estimated residual value is no less than their cost, the annual charge for depreciation of freehold properties is nil. 

## **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 Accounting policies**

## **1.8 Debtors** 

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

## **1.9 Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are reognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in a transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligatin can be measured or estimated reliably.  Creditors and provision are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## **1.10 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. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 

## **1.11 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. 

## _**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 payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 

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.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expanded for which it was incurred. 

## **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.
