Structure, governance and management

Governing Documentation

West Harton Churches Action Station is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 2nd March
1998 and was registered with the Charities Commission on 9th June 1999. 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. Every member of the company
undertakes to contribute such amount as maybe required (not exceeding £1) to the company's assets
if it should be wound up while he or she is a member.

Appointment of Trustees

The Directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law under the
company's Articles and are known as members of the Board of Directors.

As set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the number of directors shall not be less
than three but (unless otherwise determined by ordinary resolution) shall not be subject to any
maximum.

At the first annual general meeting all the directors shall retire from office, and at every subsequent
annual general meeting one-third of the directors who are subject to retirement by rotation or, if their
number is not three or a multiple of three, the number nearest to one third shall retire from office; but,
if there is only one director who is subject to retirement by rotation, he / she shall retire.

Trustee Induction and Training

New Trustees are familiarised to the project, their legal obligations under charity and company law, the
content of the governing document (Memorandum and Articles of Association), the Board of Directors
and the decision-making process, the business plan and financial performance of the charity.
Directors are encouraged to attend appropriate training events that will facilitate the undertaking of
their role.

Risk Management

Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity
might face. Significant external risks to funding and the nature of funding across the Community and
Voluntary Sector, have led, in the past, to the development of a long-term strategic plan allowing the
diversification of funding streams, the development of our asset base and managed workspace.

Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all
transactions and projects.  Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of
staff, volunteers, clients and visitors to the centre including the required insurance cover.

Although we no longer hold the Investors in People Standard, we continue to implement procedures
and policies to ensure consistent quality is maintained and reviewed from time to time.

Organisation

Action Station South Tyneside Limited has a Board of Directors not less than three but with no
maximum.  The Board meets monthly and there are sub-committees covering personnel, finance and
funding.  The Board of Directors are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity.
At present the Board has eight members from a variety of professional, religious and community
backgrounds relevant to the work of the charity.

Objectives and activities

Our Vision

To respond to high levels of unemployment, poverty and hardship.
Supporting people on the fringes of society and those with additional needs in South Shields and
surrounding areas.

Our Mission

To provide a place where individuals and groups can access services that will enhance their life
chances and wellbeing. This will lead to a general uplift in the quality of life in our community.

Our Values

We are a “values” driven organisation and committed to the integrity and respect for the individual. We
focus on identifying a person’s needs and potential by working in a holistic way to deliver services that
will enable them to achieve their ambitions. All this is delivered in a safe and friendly environment by
our dedicated team of staff, volunteers and partner organisations.

Achievements and Performance

Having successfully re-established the centre usage following the pandemic, our goal last year was to
restore our footfall to pre-pandemic levels (2898). We not only achieved this, but exceeded this with a
footfall of 3479, from these 40% attended centre-based activities, 14% Training, 36% Café, 10%
personal support (finance and health).

We have also continued to maintain and develop our partnerships, with a new volunteer placement
programme partnership with the local DWP established as well as new work with Cultural Spring (arts
project), a new group Naafi Break (local veterans) as well as extending existing partner involvement.
This partnership work has seen our room hire increase from £27,905 in 2022 to £42,590 in 2023.

Here we have achieved and built upon last year’s objectives in maintaining our partnerships as well as
not only securing but extending services, while also increasing usage of the centre. Not only have
groups like Triage increased their Action Station accredited course provision, but we have also now
started collaborative work with ASDA and introduced new courses and activities, which include;

Year ended 31 March 2023

While also extending our employment support, holding open days (including volunteer recognition),
establishing a new marketing strategy, become a Safe Reporting Centre, helping tackle Hate Crime.
And last but not least our dedicated volunteer Paul Tann was awarded best in South Tyneside as a
Covid Hero.

Financial Review

Following last year’s poor financial position, we have taken actions to make Action Station much more
sustainable, in doing so we have reduced our major cost (salaries), though natural end of contracts as
well as retirement and the loss of one post. This has been managed so as not to affect centre
operations and service and we are now a leaner but more efficient as usage figures verify.

We have also started the implementation of a new updated cloud-based accounts software package
with the help and support of our accountant, and this will become live for the next financial year.

We have also increased our own income generation through rental and have achieved a 53%
increase.

Our internal accounts indicate that the next financial year should see us start to slowly re-build an
operational reserve (which we acknowledged as good practice in last year’s report) as a part of the
continuation our financial strategy.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Action Station South Tyneside Limited

Year ended 31 March 2023

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Action Station South Tyneside
Limited ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

The trustees are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law are responsible
for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for
this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent
examination is needed. I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of
Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). 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:

y to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection
with the examination giving me cause to believe:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to
which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2023

1 General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in
England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the
registered office is Boldon Lane, South Shields, NE34 0LZ.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial
Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities
SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the
revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair
value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

As with most Charities, they have been impacted by the Coronavirus (Covid-19). This has had an
impact on operations, funders, members and staff. The Charity has utilised the grants and
benefits available from the Government and are taking the steps it can to protect the future of the
Charity. Although the total impact is still uncertain the trustees believe that it is appropriate to
prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.

Disclosure exemptions

The entity satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. As such,
advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available under paragraph
1.12 of FRS 102:

(a) No cash flow statement has been presented for the company.

(b) Disclosures in respect of financial instruments have not been presented.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the
charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or
commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or
through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or
endowment funds.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has
passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction
will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies
are applied to particular categories of income:

Action Station South Tyneside Limited

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any
VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of
financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs
attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned
between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued
amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent
accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other
recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been
recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities.  A decrease in the carrying
amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses,
except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within
other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual
value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Freehold property  - 16% straight line
Fixtures and fittings  - 20% straight line

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable
amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the
recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for
possible reversal at each reporting date.

Action Station South Tyneside Limited

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Impairment of fixed assets (continued)

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable
amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest
identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely
independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the
acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from
the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity
are assigned to those units.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which
the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent
that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the
reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a
discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in
the period in which it arises.

4. Limited by guarantee

Action Station South Tyneside Limited is a company limited by guarantee and accordingly does
not have a share capital.

Every member of the company undertakes to contribute such amount as may be required not
exceeding £1 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of its being wound up while he
or she is a member, or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member.
