DOCKLANDS OUTREACH COMPANY LIMITED REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 18 December 1997, and registered as a Charity on 6 October 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. In the event of the company going into liquidation, members of the organisation are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.
Management and Governance
Docklands Outreach is governed by a voluntary and elected Board of Trustees who have professional expertise in our areas of service delivery and possess the necessary skills, to analyse the progress of the work and to achieve the organisation’s aims. The Board of Trustee meet on a monthly or quarterly basis to oversee the strategic direction and policies of the organisation. The day to day running of the organisation is delegated to the Director.
No formal training is given but all potential trustees are invited to attend meetings with the staff. Trustees get to know the charities aims and objectives and how it operates and attend a meeting of the Board of Trustees. The following checks are also carried out: Criminal Records Bureau (enhanced) Charity Commission - Declaration of eligibility for newly appointed trustees.
Risk management
The Trustees regularly review the risks the charity may face to introduce procedures to mitigate the risks identified. They recognise the volatile nature of funding and the challenges faced as a result of the economic downturn, cutbacks and new challenges due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. To manage these risks and to ensure we remain financially stable Docklands Outreach ensures that it maintains and builds new partnership with key stakeholders and ensures that it builds up its reserves to mitigate future funding decline.
Reserve Policy
Trustees have established that in order to fulfill their responsibilities to staff and to minimise risk of any breach of statute or organisational duty, the organisation should hold sufficient funds in reserve to meet the salaries of all core staff initially for six months, should it become necessary to make such staff redundant. DO has been working towards building a satisfactory level of funds to provide a secure base for the fulfilment of the company’s charitable objectives, in accordance with Charity Commission guidelines and through full cost recovery (FCR). The organisation is pleased that it has achieved its aim of fulfilling its reserves for six months running cost, redundancy costs and other contingencies costs.
Employee
DOC is committed to equal opportunities in terms of equal treatment, equal access and equal share in all aspects of its programmes, administration, management and support, regardless of age, race, colour, nationality, religion, ethnic or national origin, gender, marital status, sexual orientation or disability. It aims to offer an environment, which is safe, supportive, and sensitive to the diverse needs of Individuals Concerned with the Project ('ICWD') so that all can achieve their full potential.
The charity does, however, ask that its staff sympathise with the aims and objects of the charity. Section 7(2)d of the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 also applies where it is essential to restrict the job to female applications only.

DOCKLANDS OUTREACH COMPANY LIMITED REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each (Accounts and Reports) financial year 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, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charity's Act 2011. 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.
This report is prepared in accordance with the special provision of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
Approved by order of the Board of Trustees on 27 December 2022 and signed:
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:
............................................. Mr Ashwani Sharma (Chair)

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER DOCKLANDS OUTREACH COMPANY LIMITED YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st March 2022 set out on pages five to nine.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The Charity's Trustees (who are also the Directors for the purposes of Company Law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity's Trustees consider that an independent examination is required. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the independent examiners 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
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
