CAIA PARK PARTNERSHIP LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)
TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of the Companies Act, present their annual report and the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise Caia Park Partnership Limited and its subsidiary company Wrexham Community Enterprises Limited.
Since the charitable company qualifies as small under section 383, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director's Report) Regulations 2013 is not required.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
a. Policies and objectives
The company is a charity and exists to primarily promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Caia Park but also to benefit the inhabitants of the County Borough of Wrexham and Wales by the relief of poverty, sickness and distress, the advancement of education and provision of recreation and leisure time facilities in the interest of social welfare in order that their conditions of life may be improved.
In shaping our objectives for the year the trustees have given due consideration to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and how planned projects will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
The trustees have also recognised that we have needed to consolidate after the global COVID-19 pandemic, sustainable income streams for our work.
of trustees, but also saw further financial challenges:
-
The period saw us continuing to deal with the financial impacts of rising costs (especially wage related) in the face of very low (almost static) income growth, with a resulting need to draw more on reserves than planned.
-
To help cope with rising costs we undertook three cost saving exercises, covering a) our three childcare These reviews led to headcount reductions through redundancies and vacancy controls worth around £80,000 per year in saved costs. Given that this was on top of the loss of 2 senior managers and a workshop technician in the 22/23 reporting year, our staffing levels feel difficult to reduce any further.

to its permitted maximum and we
-
were successful in making it more representative of the people and communities we serve. The board has also benefitted from advisory support, and has strengthened its role in terms of direction and financial oversight.
The period saw us developing a range of budget scenarios for the year ahead which could be characterised as on the basics and survival as priorities for the year ahead given the scale of the financial challenges. Thus, the objectives for the year were to:
-
Review all services to inform changes to their levels of resourcing and pricing bases; and
-
Pursue opportunities to consolidate our current range of services; and
-
Develop ideas for new projects in response to expressed community needs.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (continued)
b. Strategies for achieving objectives
In respect of the service reviews there has been a focus internally on resourcing levels that has led to small scale service restructures and job losses, as well as a general tightening of budgets for activities and materials.
In respect of the pursuit of funding opportunities the year saw us successfully secure and deliver a range of projects under the Shared Prosperity Funding stream from UK Government. These have made a particularly positive impact on our work with young people not in employment, education or training.
In respect of the Community Wellbeing Plan the charity has worked to maintain momentum and to build the case -found Wrexham City Board.
c. Activities for achieving objectives and to further the charity's purpose for the public benefit
Activities include an ever-changing mix of well-established, long-term routine service delivery, and innovative, shortindividual projects and services capture targets in relation to our objects, and against which progress is reported to the relevant funder and stakeholders.
The main activities of the Partnership over the accounting period have been as follows:
Training and Employment
Working in partnership with Coleg Cambria and Wrexham County Borough Council (WCBC) we support the delivery of projects to help people gain employment. We delivered the second year of a 4-
that would help their journey towards formal training and employment; we similarly delivered the second year of a 2- a broader range of engagement routes and 1:1 mentoring support for young people.
Tenancy Support
Caia Park Tenancy Support Team provide advice and practical support to enable people living in social housing across the county borough to maintain their tenancy. The cost of living crisis has presented additional challenges and demand for this service, with many beneficiaries and the contracting body (WCBC) praising our persistence and impact. Sadly, we failed to secure the renewal of this 5 year contract at the end of the reporting period.
Deva House
Deva House range of functions as an , luncheon club, meals on wheels, social activities, and hub for advice and information was severely affected by the pandemic. Many of its beneficiaries were amongst the highest risk groups, and various public health regulations meant that the centre . In response and as restrictions eased - the centre simplified its delivery model to focus on a smaller number of higher need customers for centrebased support, whilst maintaining the provision of a meals on wheels service.

c. Activities for achieving objectives and to further the charity's purpose for the public benefit (continued)
Tier 1 NEETS
The Partnership has continued to deliver a county-borough wide project providing mentoring support and training to enable young people to progress into training, education or employment. The pandemic forced us to adapt the way the service was provided, with phone contact, online meetings and garden gate meet-ups replacing the usual face-to-face sessions. Our effectiveness with individuals has been recognised by funders and stakeholders, al on this service for years to come.
Youth Team
All 8 of our centre-based youth clubs continued their work during the accounting period. Regular sessions have been run at venues across the Caia Park, Hightown, Acton, Offa, Gwersyllt and Broughton areas of the county borough. Their timings have continued to be varied over each week, and are supplemented by regular outreach sessions to engage with young people who do not access the youth clubs. This twin approach remains effective in maintaining contact with many of the youth club users, and dovetails with efforts by North Wales Police and
Flying Start and Early Entitlement
We have refined our provision of the Flying Start programme of early years childcare by consolidating delivery at two of our three nursery settings in Caia Park Hafod Y Wern and Gwenfro. This has allowed the third setting Sparkles to concentrate of the provision of fee-based childcare and the Early Entitlement programme.
Community Organising
As a followg are embraced by the public sector and residents alike. As described elsewhere, the singular Community Wellbeing Plan for Caia Park is part of the approach to sustain the most critical g about long-term changes in the social determinants of health that affect our community so adversely.
Facilities
The Partnership has long term leases on 5 of its 7 buildings, with the other two (nursery settings) being on shortterm tenancy agreements. All buildings are owned by WCBC.
Three buildings that form the Caia Park Centre that are on a 99 year lease. These are the base for our work around employability, youth work and mentoring, volunteering, training, the local conversation, and tenancy support. They are also home to 3 of our 4 community enterprises. Two of these buildings have meeting / training rooms that support other community activities, and outside of pandemic restrictions these have been used to good affect to bring residents and partners together to develop and deliver services, projects and activities together. All three buildings are also home to one or more external tenants who pay market rents and service charges to offset
A fourth building is on a 25 year lease and is home to our Sparkles day nursery (the fourth of our 4 community enterprises described further below).

Our fifth building is on a longth and 7[th] buildings are on a short term tenancy agreement and act as centres for childcare delivery, specifically the Flying Start programme.
Trading activities
Our commercial childcare nursery Sparkles is the principal trading activitiy of our trading company Wrexham Community Enterprises (WCE). During the summer and autumn of 2024 we undertook a thorough review and levels. These were all challenging to address at first, but by the end of the reporting period the changes had settled in. However, despite these changes the nursery still made a significant loss, leading to further cost savings work during recent months (to be reported in our year to March 2026 accounts next year. Work has started to reintroduce the craft workshop into WCE, and to grow our commercial training offer. Again, these will feature in
Volunteers
The support provided by volunteers remains hugely important to the Partnership, where a system remains in place for volunteers to be fully inducted, have a volunteer pack detailing all relevant policies and procedures and be offered training and support. Volunteers are awarded certificates of achievement to celebrate and acknowledge their contribution to the Partnership, and they are recompensed for out of pocket expenses.
Although over 40 volunteers are registered with the Partnership there is limited capacity to co-develop and codeliver a stimulating programme of engagement for them, and hence this has become a priority for resourcing afresh over the next reporting period.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
b. Financial review
The principal funding sources show that the expenditure for the year has supported the key objectives of the charity.
The total income has decreased from £1,571,781 in 2023/24 to £1,398,360 in 2024/25. Total expenditure changed from £1,622,642 in 2023/24 to £1,562,264 in 2024/25.
The overall financial result for the year ended 31 March 2025 was therefore a deficit of £163,905 (compared to the deficit of £50,861 in 2023/24).
c. Reserves policy
At 31 March 2025 the restricted funds now stand at £210,315 (up from £209,595 in 2023/24), and unrestricted funds stand at £188,455 (from £353,080 in 2023/24).

CAIA PARK PARTNERSHIP LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)
TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)
c. Reserves policy (continued)
The trustees have previously worked with a blanket policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed, held by the charity should be for 3 months of the charitable expenditure. However, maintaining a balance this high has not been possible in the face of the challenges experienced during 2024/25. Work is ongoing for the 2025/26 to revise the policy and to agree a series of designated funds that seek to set funds aside for change management, growth and cyclical maintenance as well as for any financial difficulties and dissolution.
d. Principal funding
The principal funding sources for the charity are service level agreements and contracts secured with Wrexham County Borough Council and several Community Councils, alongside charitable trust grants and fees earned directly for service provision.
The charity continues to seek funding from a broad range of sources to de-risk reliance on any single source and has been successful in tendering for and securing a number of contracts, several of them County Borough-wide.
The charity has continued to review the remit and functions of its community enterprise arm as a means of supporting its activities. Trustees are concerned that whilst these activities create employment for staff and bring benefit to residents they often do so at a financial loss. Both the café and woodcraft elements of the trading arms work have now been ended, and further work is underway to review our role in the commercial childcare market where competition is high, margins are low and costs continue to increase.
The trustees wish to acknowledge their appreciation to all of the funding bodies that enable the charity to provide services to meet the expressed needs of the community of Caia Park.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Trustees' responsibilities statement
The trustees (who are also directors of Caia Park Partnership Limited 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).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP FRS102;
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Disclosure of information to auditors
Each of the persons who are trustees at the time when this trustees' report is approved has confirmed that:
-
so far as that trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware, and
-
that trustee has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a trustee in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charitable company's auditors are aware of that information.
Auditor
Xeinadin Audit Limited were re-appointed as auditor to the company and in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006, a resolution proposing that they be re-appointed will be put at a general meeting.
The principal points of this report were discussed with trustees on 30[th] March 2026, and the report is duly signed on their behalf by the Chair below:

CAIA PARK PARTNERSHIP LIMITED
(A company limited by guarantee)
I FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Caia Park Partnership Limited the ('charitable company') and its subsidiary for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the group statement of financial activities, the group balance sheet, the company balance sheet, the group statement of cash flows and 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 FRS102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK (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 2025 and for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK';
-
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 Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and 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 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 company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised 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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the environment of the charitable company and the group obtained trustees report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate 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 the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees Responsibilities, 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 charitable company's 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 charitable 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 material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a report of the independent auditors 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.

I NDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CAIA PARK PARTNERSHIP LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias;
*Enquiry of management and those charged with governance to identify any instances of non -compliance with laws and regulations.
The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably.
Firstly, the charitable company is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation, distributable profits legislation and taxation legislation and we assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.
Secondly, the charitable company is subject to many other laws and regulations where the consequence of noncompliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance the imposition of fines or litigation or the loss of the charitable companies license to operate. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Therefore, if a breach of operational regulations is not disclosed to us or evident from relevant correspondence, an audit will not detect that breach.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at:
Use of our report
the Companies Act 2006. 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 the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

CAIA PARK PARTNERSHIP LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 Company information
Caia Park Partnership Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The members of the company are the trustees named on page 1. In the event of the charitable company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charitable company. The registered office is Caia Centre, Prince Charles Road, Wrexham, LL13 8TH.
1.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements
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 (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Caia Park Partnership Limited 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.
The presentational currency of the financial statements is the Pound sterling. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.3 Basis of consolidation
The financial statements consolidate the accounts of Caia Park Partnership Limited and its wholly owned subsidiary Wrexham Community Enterprises Limited, on a line-by-line basis.
A separate profit and loss account has not been presented because the advantage has been taken of the exemption permitted by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. The individual charity loss for the year was £684,668, this was due to an intercompany write off of £640,362 (2024: profit £27,613).
1.4 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charitable company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charitable company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
1.5 Income
All income is recognised once the charitable company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
when the charitable company 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.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charitable company is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charitable company that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charitable company has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charitable company, or the charitable company is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Donated services or facilities are recognised when the charitable company has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the charitable company of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time of the Friends is not recognised and refer to the Trustees' report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charitable company which is the amount the charitable company would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
1.6 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the
Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
1.6 Expenditure (continued)
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charitable company and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charitable company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
All resources expended are inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
1.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised.
The long leasehold buildings have not been capitalised as the trustees believe that the cost of obtaining a valuation is greater than the benefit that this information would provide to the users of the financial statements.
Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Leasehold - over 25 years
Motor vehicles - over 4 years - Furniture and equipment over 5-6 years - Computer equipment over 4 years
1.8 Investments
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the balance sheet date, unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains nditure account.
1.9 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charitable company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
1.10 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount repaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.11 Cash at Bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
1.12 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charitable company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.
1.13 Financial instruments
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
1.14 Pensions
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charitable company to the fund in respect of the year.
1.15 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgement, 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.
The following judgements have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Bad debt provision
The trustees have made a decision to recognise a bad debt provision totalling £135,700 (2024: £208,353). £135,700 (2024: £205,945) is in relation to nursery fees within Wrexham Community Enterprises Limited. The decision has been taken on the basis that a large proportion of these debts are historic and in some cases disputed.

All of the above transfers relate to moving funds from restricted due to CPP being in the process of changing the software platform it uses to manage its finances. This process has prompted questions about historical balances and the appropriateness of moving the oldest of them from 'restricted' to 'unrestricted'. Alongside this we have also considered the merits of 'designating' moved balances so as to protect their use for the original intended beneficiary groups.
The designated funds primarily make up youth work to protect their intended purpose.
