The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objects of The Jigsaw Trust are to promote, maintain, improve and advance the education and wellbeing of those affected by an autism spectrum disorder. Jigsaw Trust is committed to raising awareness of autism and to providing facilities, services and resources for the education, integration, guidance, assessment, outreach and support of people affected by autism.
Our Values
We are person centred valuing each person, as an individual, respecting their aspirations and commitments in life, and seeking to understand their priorities, needs, abilities and limits.
We are caring and committed to acting with compassion, integrity, honesty and high ethics in all situations, listening with respect to others and valuing differences.
We believe in teamwork listening to and respecting each other whilst working with the individuals we support, their families and colleagues to achieve the best results we can.
We believe in integrity acting professionally at all times, ensuring we are providing the best possible service. We focus on continuous learning for all. We value learning, positive feedback, coaching and mentoring.
The Jigsaw Trust is founded on the principle of excellence through continual learning and aspires to provide the highest quality of education and lifelong learning possible; to accelerate learning and the ability to learn in new ways as well as acquiring the skills to learn independently through behavioural methods. To this end, we have established and developed services delivered through our school, our social enterprises and the centre for lifelong learning which provides services to adult learners through Jigsaw +, a separate charity of which The Jigsaw Trust is the sole member. Further information on Jigsaw +, including the services provided can be found in the Trustees’ Report for Jigsaw +.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
Public benefit
The Jigsaw Trust is established for the public benefit by way of the education and welfare of children and young adults with autism spectrum disorder and related communication disorders, improving the lives of those affected by these lifelong disorders. The Jigsaw Trust has given a high priority to providing public benefit to a cross section of the community regardless of family background, but perhaps the greatest benefit that The Jigsaw Trust can offer is the provision of an education that maximises each student’s potential. The Trustees have had due regard to the public benefit guidance produced by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
The activities that the charitable company provides that are considered for the public benefit in summary are:
-
A specialist day school for children with autism spectrum disorder and related communication disorders based on the principles of applied behaviour analysis. It being acknowledged that there is a lack of state provided special educational provision for those on the autistic spectrum who are unable to manage within a mainstream educational setting
-
Social enterprises
-
Family support by way of outreach services and parent education sessions
-
Training for professionals involved in the education and support of children with autism spectrum disorders
-
Research opportunities for those with an interest in the education of children with autism and other autistic and related communication disorders
-
Raising awareness of the difficulties faced by those affected by autism.
These activities are for the benefit of individuals with autism spectrum disorder and related communication disorders, either directly or indirectly by way of supporting parents, carers or professionals involved in the education and welfare of those with autism.
The opportunity to benefit is not restricted to any one local authority but is determined by the number of places available at Jigsaw CABAS® School and Pupils' journey times are generally expected to be no longer than one hour for primary aged children and 90 minutes for those secondary aged pupils or beyond. Pupils are expected to have an Educational Health Care Plan. There is no restriction by gender, although more beneficiaries are male rather than female due to the prevalence characteristics of autism. The fees payable to the Trust are significant and would be outside the funding capacity of all but a very few families. Fees are in the main fully paid by the placing Local Authority.
Our Services
The Jigsaw CABAS® School
The Jigsaw CABAS® School is an independent day school for children and young people with an autism spectrum disorder. We provide education services for pupils aged 4 – 19 years.
The Jigsaw CABAS® School is committed to providing a safe and caring environment where all our learners will be given an education of the highest standard and every opportunity to achieve their full potential. The School is a positive environment in which learning both in and out of the classroom is encouraged with the focus on improving outcomes in all curricula.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
Social Enterprises
Café on the Park is operated by Jigsaw Trading (2013) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Jigsaw Trust. The café is open to all those working and visiting Dunsfold Park and provides work experience and life skills learning opportunities for pupils at The Jigsaw CABAS® School, principally those in Key Stages 4 and 5. The Trustees have accepted that Café on the Park has operated at a loss each year since this social enterprise was taken on. This is on the basis that the Café provides a significant benefit to those pupils and adult learners from Jigsaw + as part of their individual learning plans for which no charge is made. The Trustees review and agree the acceptable level of loss for Café on the Park annually.
GardenWORKS and ArtWORKS are likewise social enterprises that provide vocational and life learning opportunities for both pupils and adult learners from Jigsaw +. The facilities at GardenWORKS have also been used on a chargeable basis by students from other local special educational needs schools in the past and any income from this is accounted for within the financial results for Jigsaw +. During the current financial year, the restrictions imposed by the covid pandemic has meant that it has not been feasible for outside organisation to used GardenWORKS but it is hoped that to offer this facility again once restrictions have been lifted.
Trust Shared Services
There are a number of business support services provided by Jigsaw Trust to each of Jigsaw CABAS® School, Jigsaw Trading (2013) Limited and Jigsaw + including CEO services, finance, facilities, HR and IT. Staff in these business areas are employed by Jigsaw Trust and the costs associated with these areas are apportioned between The Jigsaw CABAS® School and Jigsaw +.
Aims of Jigsaw CABAS® School
To work together as a team to ensure that every pupil achieves their full potential by providing:
-
a safe, caring and enjoyable environment where all pupils can thrive and grow and become lifelong learners
-
a specialist approach to learning based on the proven principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis that encourages self esteem and respect for others
-
an individual needs led programme designed around a broad and balanced curriculum that incorporates the National Curriculum, encourages curiosity and enthusiasm and promotes independence, confidence and resilience
-
parent education and encouraging partnerships between parents and staff to ensure that pupils are equipped for future challenges
-
a continuous learning and development programme for teaching staff leading to recognised qualifications.
Our Strategy and Future Plans
The Trustees work closely with the executive management team to ensure the future growth of Jigsaw Trust. Improving facilities, services and resources for the education, integration, guidance, assessment, outreach and support of people affected by an autism spectrum disorder and to promote a greater knowledge and understanding of autism spectrum disorders by the public and those concerned with the welfare of those affected by autism throughout the local community.
In line with the detailed strategic review undertaken in 2018-19, the focus of Jigsaw Trust remains to support the growth and development of the charity's current activities and aspirations and to investigate ways in which the strategic vision of an integrated life-long learning model for those on the autism spectrum throughout their lives can be taken forward. This also includes building on our existing staff learning and development capabilities to develop a training platform that can be accessed by the wider community, thus providing an additional income stream.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
In line with our growth strategy, placements within the school have increased. We have continued to maintain high standards of delivery within our services, demonstrated through an increasing demand for places and we are recognised as experts in our field for education services, high quality staff training and CPD opportunities. We have continued to offer certified training for staff and have also taken the opportunity to publish our latest research in peer reviewed journals to share best practice. We are committed to continuing to provide sustainable high-quality services and activities that promote the education and support for those individuals whose lives are affected by autism.
In developing our strategic vision, Jigsaw Trust will continue in its commitment to providing value for money to stakeholders.
Achievements and performance
Jigsaw CABAS® School
At Jigsaw CABAS® School, our longest established activity, we have continued with our strong record of achievement. The number of pupils attending the school has increased during the 2020-21 academic year with 69 pupils on roll as at 31st August 2021 compared to 66 at the start of the academic year. The Trust has entered into an agreement with Surrey County Council that provides for a rebate on fees payable if a given number of pupils are placed for an entire academic year and other conditions are met. In the opinion of the Trustees this provides an element of certainty around pupil numbers and is of benefit to both parties.
The covid pandemic and the need to respond to the ever changing guidance issued by the Department for Education has, of necessity, meant that the emphasis for the financial year has been on ensuring continuity in service delivery and the provision of a safe and supportive environment for pupils and staff alike. The Jigsaw CABAS® School continued to remain open throughout the year in line with the guidance issued by the Department for Education regarding vulnerable pupils and children of keyworkers notwithstanding the covid pandemic. A number of pupils did not attend either because they were shielding or through parental choice. Where feasible, staff provided resources for home schooling and in all cases regular contact was maintained with families. Local authorities continued to fund placements in full regardless of whether pupils were attending, however, additional expenditure continued to be incurred on cleaning and enhanced hygiene and PPE requirements, and the need for additional space to allow the school to operate in socially distanced bubbles. Certain of these costs have been recouped from funds made available by the government and fundraising.
The Trustees wish to sincerely thank all staff for their professionalism, dedication, resilience and commitment in continuing to provide a highquality service throughout the pandemic whilst complying with the everchanging guidance, ensuring that both staff and parents received regular communications. It was not necessary to furlough any staff.
Our teaching staff continued to progress through the professional development programme, with 6 members of staff completing the CABAS® Teaching Assistant rank, 5 members of staff completing the CABAS® Teacher 1 rank and 2 members of staff completing the CABAS® Teacher II rank from the CABAS® Board during the year. One member of staff successfully completed the Masters programme with Nicholls State University at the end of the academic year. In addition, two members of staff completed the Masters programme with Queen’s University Belfast.
Members of staff produced a number of research studies during the year which were presented at the virtual Jigsaw Research conference for staff. Staff also presented two workshops for the ABA In Schools Special Interest Group.
The School has continued to benefit from the close links maintained with CABAS® in the United States. Dr Grant Gautreaux from Nicholls State University provided invaluable consultancy services during the year ensuring that the teaching staff are at the forefront of developments in the field of ABA research.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
We have maintained our BACB accreditation as an ACE provider, thereby enabling the school to provide continuous training for BACB registered behaviour analysts. We have hosted events at the school for representatives from the UK SBA ABA in Schools SIG and these sessions have included training for BACB registered behaviour analysts.
The School continues to support parents and carers with the outreach service that is available to pupils and their families. We have regular information sessions for parents offering time for questions as well as regular workshops/education sessions for parents and other professionals, albeit these activities have been somewhat curtailed in the current year by the pandemic.
Fundraising activities
With the ever growing pressure on local services, uncertainty regarding the political and economic environment, it is fair to say that the need for fundraising at Jigsaw Trust is increasing year on year. This year has been a particularly challenging year in terms of fundraising activities, with a number of planned events having to be cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic and the restrictions this has imposed on all our lives. As a result, the focus for the fundraising team was very much on seeking to secure grant funding, particularly available grants to assist with the additional costs of providing a Covid 19 secure environment for our learners. Jigsaw Trust has remained committed to building and maintaining long term relationships with a variety of supporters and funders and this has continued throughout the pandemic through the regular Jigsaw Trust newsletter. The assistance of our supporters and funders is vital to the future of the charity and their support has a direct impact on the pupils and adult learners who use services of The Jigsaw Trust. The overall strategy of the Fundraising Team remains to seek to diversify fundraising income, significantly increase core income and build a strategic framework that will enable Jigsaw Trust's fundraising activities to alleviate financial pressure across the Trust.
We would like to thank the following organisations and supporters for their help and kindness throughout the year:
Signify, Mulberry Trust, Bloss Family Foundation, Cranleigh Arts Society, Coop, Hall Charitable Trust, Nineveh Trust, DM Thomas Foundation, Morrison Foundation, St Faith’s Trust, Groundwork UK, Blyth Wilson Trust, The Webb Family, Bauer Radios, Wallace Bell, Enthuse, Berkeley Homes, Turner & Hodge Vinsan Charity, Community Foundation of Surrey, Waitrose, Hettle Andrews, Rotary Club, Blakemore Foundation, Cranleigh & District Lions, D’Oyly Carte Charitable Trust.
We would also like to thank everyone who has supported Jigsaw Trust in during the 2020-21 financial year. Whether you have taken on a half marathon for Jigsaw Trust, you are making a regular monthly donation, or you have helped us build links with a company or local school, we are incredibly grateful to you.
Jigsaw Trust is fortunate to have such an amazing supportive community around us and we are incredibly grateful to all our benefactors, parents, family members, volunteers, staff, funders and our wonderful local community.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The Trustees have agreed that the charitable company should maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charitable company at a level equivalent to cover approximately three months running costs of The Jigsaw CABAS® School. For the financial year 2020/21 three months running costs are estimated at £1,264,000 and the total free reserves as at 31 August 2021 were £802,943. Although reserves as at 31st August 2021 do not meet the desired level, the Trustees are committed to the reserves policy. The Trustees will continue to consider ways in which additional unrestricted funds can be raised and to target fundraising of unrestricted income.
Equal Opportunities polic y
The Trustees recognise that equal opportunities should be an integral part of good practice within the workplace. Jigsaw Trust aims to establish equal opportunities in all areas of its activities including creating a working environment in which the contributions and needs of all people are fully valued.
Selected policies can be found on the Jigsaw CABAS® School and The Jigsaw Trust websites.
Financial Results
The financial results for the year to 31 August 2021 are shown in the attached financial statements.
The greater part of the Trust's income (93%) is generated by the School which received the majority of its income from Local Authorities. Total income increased by 11.2% to £5,063,817 (2020 - £4,553,039), primarily due to increase in pupil numbers. There was a small increase in fundraising and exceptional income in the Trust. School fee income increased by 7.7% to £4,687,673 (2020 - £4,351,321). Due to Covid 19 there was a reduction in the Café income partly as a result of full closure due to lockdowns, thereafter a reduced takeaway service only. Total expenditure rose by 13.2% to £5,055,122 (2020 - £4,465,573), in line with the increase in pupil numbers and Covid 19 related costs. The average number of pupils throughout the year was 67. The school started the academic year with 66 students, but numbers increased to the position where there were 69 pupils on roll at the year end.
There was a net increase in funds of £8,695 (2020 - £87,465) total funds carried forward of £840,801 (2020 - £832,106). Of the funds at the year end, £37,858 was restricted and the remaining £802,943 unrestricted.

TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
The Trustees (who are also directors of The Jigsaw 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).
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 the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group 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;
-
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 group will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable group 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 the group 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 group'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 group's auditors are aware of that information.
This report was approved by the Trustees, on

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE JIGSAW TRUST
OPINION
We have audited the financial statements of The Jigsaw Trust (the 'parent charity') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended August 31, 2021 set out on pages 17 to 35. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards(United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent charitable company's affairs as at August 31, 2021 and of the group's incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure 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 and the Charities Act 2011.
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 in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 charitable 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 Auditors' report thereon. 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.
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
Page 13
THE JIGSAW TRUST
(A company limited by guarantee)
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE JIGSAW TRUST
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:
-
the information given in the Trustees' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.
-
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 our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' report.
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:
-
the parent charitable company has not kept adequate and sufficient accounting records, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the parent charitable company 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 Group 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 group's and the parent 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 group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE JIGSAW TRUST
AUDITORS' 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 Auditors' 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:
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
-
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with trustees and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the charity sector;
-
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the accounts or the activities of the charity. These included but were not limited to the Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011; Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019); Employment Law; Data Protection Legislation; The Code of Fundraising Practice; and Safeguarding Regulations as they affect the direct charitable activities of the charity;
-
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence where necessary.
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 as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
-
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
-
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected transactions;
-
tested the appropriateness of journal entries;
-
agreed income to underlying contracts;
-
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and
-
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
-
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
-
reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims.
There are inherent limitations in our 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. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE JIGSAW TRUST
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.
We further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.
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 to the charitable company's Trustees, as a body, Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. 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.

THE JIGSAW TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 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 and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The Jigsaw Trust 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 Statement of financial activities (SOFA) and Balance sheet consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertaking. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line by line basis.
No separate SOFA has been presented for the company alone as permitted by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.
1.2 Company status
The company is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company.
1.3 Going concern
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing the accounts for the year ended 31 August 2021. The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these accounts.
The trustees of the charity have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees are of the opinion that the charity will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The most significant areas of judgement that affect items in the accounts are detailed in note 1.17.
In arriving at the conclusion, the trustees have considered the potential implications of Brexit and the effects of Covid - 19 on the charity. The trustees have the discussed the effects of Brexit on the availability of personnel and have concluded that there are adequate resources locally. The figures for the period under consideration have not been significantly impacted by Covid - 19 and the trustees are confident that no adjustments are necessary to the carrying value of the assets held at the balance sheet date.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
1.4 Income
All income is recognised once the 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.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the company is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust 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 company has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the company, or the 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 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 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 company which is the amount the 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.
Grant income
Government grants, including non-monetary grants shall not be recognised until there is reasonable assurance that:
(a) the entity will comply with the conditions attached to them; and
(b) the grants will be received.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
1.5 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 asset’s use.
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 company and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the company's educational operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the company apportioned to charitable activities.
1.6 Basis of consolidation
The financial statements consolidate the accounts of The Jigsaw Trust and all of its subsidiary undertakings ('subsidiaries').
The charitable company has taken advantage of the exemption contained within section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 not to present its own Income and expenditure account.
The income and expenditure account for the year dealt with in the accounts of the charitable company was £26,745 (2020 - £116,592) .

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
1.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
All assets costing more than £5,000 are capitalised.
A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of financial activities.
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:
| Improvement to property | - | 25% on cost |
|---|---|---|
| Plant and machinery | - | 25% on cost |
| Motor vehicles | - | 20% on cost |
| Fixtures and fittings | - | 33% on cost |
| School equipment | - | 33% on cost |
1.8 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
1.9 Operating leases
Rentals under operating leases are charged to the Statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.
1.10 Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
1.11 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.12 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
1.13 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 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.
1.14 Financial instruments
The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.15 Pensions
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year.
1.16 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 company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the 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.
1.17 Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment
Preparation of the accounts requires the trustees and management to make significant judgements and estimates.
The items in the accounts where these judgements and estimates have been made include:
determining the allocation of costs between different expenditure classifications; and estimating the useful economic life of tangible fixed assets for the purposes of determining the annual depreciation charge.
