Objectives and activities
Emmaus Transformation Trust Limited objects are, for the public benefit and in accordance with Christian principles, to:
(a) promote social inclusion by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society.
(b) advance such other charitable purposes as the trustees see fit from time to time.
Socially excluded means being excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of one of more of the following factors: unemployment; financial hardship; youth or old age; ill health (physical or mental); substance abuse or dependency including alcohol and drugs; discrimination on the grounds of sex, race, disability, ethnic origin, religion, belief, creed, sexual orientation or gender re-assignment; poor educational or skills attainment; relationship and family breakdown; poor housing (that is housing that does not meet basic habitable standards); crime (either as a victim of crime or as an offender rehabilitating into society).
The activities undertaken during the year in pursuit of these objects are detailed in the following section.
Achievements and Performance Summary
2022/23 has been a year of considerable activity for us. 2021/22 was marked by the emergence from lockdowns and reviving our usual style and level of operations, whilst 2022/23 has been marked not only by regular operations, but also growth.
The detailed section that follows this summary indicates all that has gone on through this period across our Lighthouse sites and their wide range of projects. It has been a very busy year!
We are very pleased to say that the staff team have continued to do an excellent job bringing vision and leadership in all they do. A special thank you to all our 200+ volunteers who have been outstanding in bringing kindness, belief and hope to those we have had the privilege of supporting.
As recognition for the tremendous work by our volunteers, we received the Queens Award for Voluntary Service (equivalent of an MBE for volunteer groups) in May 2022. The award was officially presented to us by our new Patron, HRH The Countess of Wessex (now Duchess of Edinburgh) in November 2022. We are extremely grateful to HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh for becoming our Patron.
We would also like to thank our donors, be they individuals, businesses, churches, trusts, etc, who have continued to provide us with the finances to keep our Lighthouses operating and the projects within them. It is the combination of staff, volunteers and donors that enable us to provide the support we do.

EMMAUS TRANSFORMATION TRUST (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
We are very pleased to say that the charity's finances have remained in a healthy state through 2022/23. Individuals, trusts and organisations continue to be incredibly generous, and we are very grateful for this.
During the year, we have continued our search for buildings in Aldershot and Guildford which we can convert into Lighthouses. We have made good progress in Aldershot and are hoping to see a Lighthouse established on an estate in Aldershot which is experiencing significant challenges. In Guildford, we have had discussions with a number of landlords but these discussions have not led to anything yet. Despite not having Lighthouse buildings, we have started some Lighthouse related projects in both Aldershot and Guildford, and these are reported on in the detailed section below.
Finally, we would like to thank everyone involved with Emmaus Transformation Trust for their contribution in making what we are today and together, we look forward to continuing and growing what we will do in the future.

Financial Review
The Charity has continued to expand its activities and also support the work at Emmaus Road Church, achieving a net income of £221,255 in this financial year. The charity receives the majority of its income from donations. These are received from both individuals and other charities or organisations in the form of cash donations and food donations. The charity also receives grants from Woking Borough Council and private grant making organisations.
The charity had total reserves of £553,680 (2022:£332,425) at the year end. Of these, £251,697 (2022: £66,705) are held as restricted funds, £89,237 (2022: £43,136) are designated and £10,614 (2022: £4,895) are held as fixed assets. The remaining general reserves are £202,132 (2022: £217,689). The general reserves are in excess of the reserves policy and a deficit budget was set for 2023/24.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees have considered the level of reserves that they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity’s needs.
10
EMMAUS TRANSFORMATION TRUST (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
This is based on the size of the charity and the level of financial commitments held. The Trustees aim to ensure that the charity will be able to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The Trustees endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily. In terms of the ETT reserves policy, this is 3 months of staff salaries and essential building operating costs.
Risk management
The Trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis. The main risk identified and the plans to manage them are:
Financial – reserves policy not met – the COO monitors the reserve position on a monthly basis and raises concerns and actions with the Chair of trustees as needed
Financial – income reduces due to cost of living pressures – COO monitors donations monthly. External fundraisers engaged to assist with income generation
Strategic – the Lighthouse building in Woking is in an area identified for redevelopment – good communication with the council to ensure plans are known at an early stage and other premises identified.
Fundraising
The Trustees wish to thank all those who have supported us financially or through donations of items during the year. Our donors are a mixture of individuals, organisations, trusts and churches and without their support we would not be able to do what we do.
Fundraising is overseen by the COO, being carried out by staff and volunteers. We did not receive any complaints regarding our fundraising activities. We are in the process of establishing our fundraising policy and procedures to ensure best practice in accordance with the Code of Fundraising Practice.
Structure, governance and management
Governing document
Emmaus Transformation Trust is a charitable company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. 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, adopted on 21[st] April 1998. Amended Articles were adopted in December 2021 and at that point the charity became a subsidiary of Emmaus Road Community Church.
Recruitment and appointment of new Trustees
The Trustees of the Charity are also Directors for the purposes of company law. With the Charity becoming a subsidiary of Emmaus Road Community Church, the ERCC Trustees can appoint up to 5 ‘Appointed’ Trustees. The ETT Trustees can appoint up to a further 4 ‘Co-opted’ Trustees. All new Trustees are provided with information to help them understand their role.
Organisational Structure
The Board of Trustees is responsible for the strategic direction of the Charity. They are assisted by a senior staff management team who lead and oversee the day-to-day running of the Charity.
Key management personnel
The remuneration of the Charity’s key management personnel is set with reference to external market rates where possible (as an example, Trussell Trust provide data relating to Foodbank related salaries). Where external market rates are not available, salaries are set with reference to roles which can be set by external rates. Trustees approve all salaries.
Public Benefit
The Charity acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that its objectives or aims must be for the public benefit. The Trustees have paid due regard to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit when deciding which activities to undertake. The information in this Trustee Report shows that the public have
11
EMMAUS TRANSFORMATION TRUST (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
benefitted from the work of the Charity.
Plans for future periods
The key focus for the Charity going forward is to establish Lighthouses in Guildford and Aldershot where Emmaus Road Community Church have established church congregations. Discussions with Councils in these areas and with private landlords are underway to look to secure buildings which can become Lighthouses and in which various projects can be established to support people in accordance with the objects of the Charity.
Trustees Responsibilities
The trustees (who are also directors of Emmaus Transformation Trust for the purposes 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).
The Charities Act and the Companies Act require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board Is required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and 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;

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue its operations.
The trustees are responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which dlsclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EMMAUS TRANSFORMATION TRUST
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Emmaus Transformation Trust (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, and the 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, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
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 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; 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 Auditor’s 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 Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorized 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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report, including the trustees’ report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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.
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 course of 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.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:
-
the information given in the trustees’ report, which includes the directors’ report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report included with the trustees’ report.
13
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EMMAUS TRANSFORMATION TRUST (continued)
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies exemptions in preparing the trustees’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, 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 Emmaus Transformation Trusts’ 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 company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
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 an auditor’s report 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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Based on our understanding of the charity, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to financial reporting legislation and safeguarding regulations 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 Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.
We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by making enquiries of management, considering the internal controls in place and discussion amongst the engagement team.
We determined that the principal risks were related to presentation of separately disclosed items, management override of controls, recognition and valuation of donations in kind and identification of restricted income and expenditure transactions.
In response to the risks identified we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation, evaluating the charity’ internal controls, reviewing donations in kind processes and verifying restricted transactions with documentation.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
14
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EMMAUS TRANSFORMATION TRUST (continued)
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Other matter
The charity was not required to have an audit in the prior year therefore the comparative figures are not audited.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and regulations made under that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members 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 its members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

EMMAUS TRANSFORMATION TRUST (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
1. Accounting policies
a) Basis of preparation
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
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 UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Emmaus Transformation Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. It is a company limited by guarantee with registered office of The Lighthouse, 8-10 High Street, Woking, Surrey GU21 6BG. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
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 £1.
b) Preparation of accounts on a going concern basis
There are no material uncertainties affecting the going concern status of the charity.
c) Income
Income is 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 resources; and
-
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
d) Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
e) Grants and Donations
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP).
f) Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts
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 the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
g) Government Grants
The charity has received government grants in the reporting period.
h) Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.
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.
19
EMMAUS TRANSFORMATION TRUST (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 (continued)
i) Expenditure
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. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
j) Operating leases
Rental charges payable under operating leases are charged on a straight line basis over the terms of the lease.
k) Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
l) Legal status of the charity
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.
m) Redundancy payments
The charity made no redundancy payments during the period.
n) Pensions
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charity to the fund in respect of the year.
o) Stock
Donations in kind of food are recognized at estimated fair value on receipt at £1.75kg as recommended by the Trussell Trust.
p) Debtors
Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) 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.
q) Creditors
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.
r) 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. They are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost over £1,500.
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 basis:
Fixtures and fittings 25% now on straight line
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.
