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

2023/24 has been a year of considerable activity for us, with our on-going work in Woking continuing to grow alongside the gradual expansion and growth as we extend our services into Guildford and Aldershot and continue to work towards permanent bases in those two towns.

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 300+ volunteers who have been outstanding in bringing kindness, belief and hope to those we have had the privilege of supporting.

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.

We are very pleased to say that the charity's finances have remained in a healthy state through 2023/24. 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

EMMAUS TRANSFORMATION TRUST (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

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.

Achievements and Performance

In is difficult to summarise all that goes on in our Lighthouses over the year given the breadth of what we engage with. However, below is a snapshot of the detail of what has taken place by quarter during 2023/24.

Financial Review

The Charity has continued to expand its activities and also support the work at Emmaus Road Church, achieving a net income of £130,869 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 also donations of food, clothing for both children and adults, and baby items.

The charity had total reserves of £684,549 (2023:£553,680) at the year end. Of these, £365,632 (2023: £251,697) are held as restricted funds, £91,752 (2023: £89,237) are designated and £34,302 (2023: £10,614) are held as fixed assets. The remaining general reserves are £192,863 (2023: £202,132). The general reserves are in excess of the reserves policy and a deficit budget was set for 2023/24.

Reserves Policy

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:

Strategic The Lighthouse building in Woking is located on a site which the Council have now approved for redevelopment. We are in contact with the developers and the Council, and with both we have identified a temporary Council owned location for the Lighthouse building whilst a new Lighthouse is built as part of the redevelopment of the existing site. There is still a risk this does not happen, so we continue to keep in close communication with the developers and the Council.

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.

Plans for future periods

The trustees are responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which dlsclose with reasonable accurac 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.

We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requiremen 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

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions 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.

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.

In prep 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.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from 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.

statement, 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 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.

EMMAUS TRANSFORMATION TRUST (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

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:

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.

21

EMMAUS TRANSFORMATION TRUST (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 (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) Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

k) 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.

l) Redundancy payments

The charity made no redundancy payments during the period.

m) 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.

n) Stock

Donations in kind of food are recognized at estimated fair value on receipt at £2.37 per kg (2023: £1.75 per kg) as recommended by the Trussell Trust. Donations of clothing are recognized at estimated fair value and other donations, such as baby equipment, are valued in house as reasonable for the condition and nature of the equipment.

o) 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.

p) Creditors

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.

q) 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% on straight line

Motor Vehicles 25% 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.
