Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 September 2022
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2022. 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 charitable objects per the governing document are:
The relief of the poverty and the advancement of education in the designated areas by the provision of training and a meeting place for local community groups.
Significant activities
Provide affordable clothing, household goods, bric a brac and resources, including meeting space, at affordable prices. Initially serving the local area. Empowering and working with local organisations, businesses and groups through knowledge sharing, volunteering and skill building. Providing a facility to alleviate isolation and loneliness across genders, age, abilities and ethnicities.
Public benefit
The trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. The trustees consider that they have acted in the public benefit.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Due to the Covid restrictions, The Shop was inventive and sold items online through Facebook and at an auction. Thank you to Maria for all her time, effort and knowledge commitment. The Shop was rewarded with funds that have been used to help with the running costs of The Shop.
After almost a year of being open, it was necessary to close The Shop due to volunteers and staff becoming ill with Covid. We reopened after reassessing our policies and prevention measures, so that everyone was reassured and could shop or volunteer safely.
Since then, The Shop has gone from strength to strength with the support of The Management Committee, staff, volunteers and the local community. This reiterated the need for The Shop in this area as a retail and resource hub. We have been able to support the public by being a collection point for free Covid tests, whilst helping and developing new groups; for example THE GAP gardening project in Park South. We worked with the South Swindon Parish Council to have a Christmas tree for the first time in 10 years in Cavendish Square. The tree was very well received by the local community and added light and colour to the area during the cold, grey, dark winter days and nights.
The Shop was very fortunate to receive a donation for £750 from Hills towards the Woodland sessions. Through raffles, tombolas and sales, The Shop raised donations ranging from £200 to £400 for Ukraine, Save the Children Fund and Wiltshire Air Ambulance; as well as support the Woodland activities and The Shop's running costs.
Other activities included were - supporting the local Scout group, The GAP, community gardening group, Wreath making, Christmas Fun Day, Cavendish Square community day, Easter Letter hunt and colouring competition, regular parish councillor and Police surgeries, bike marking events, the popular Woodland Activity sessions and even St John's shortcake teatime session.
The Shop continues to research ideas and ways to support and empower the local community, and new and established groups and organisations.

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 September 2022
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2022. 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 charitable objects per the governing document are:
The relief of the poverty and the advancement of education in the designated areas by the provision of training and a meeting place for local community groups.
Significant activities
Provide affordable clothing, household goods, bric a brac and resources, including meeting space, at affordable prices. Initially serving the local area. Empowering and working with local organisations, businesses and groups through knowledge sharing, volunteering and skill building. Providing a facility to alleviate isolation and loneliness across genders, age, abilities and ethnicities.
Public benefit
The trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. The trustees consider that they have acted in the public benefit.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Due to the Covid restrictions, The Shop was inventive and sold items online through Facebook and at an auction. Thank you to Maria for all her time, effort and knowledge commitment. The Shop was rewarded with funds that have been used to help with the running costs of The Shop.
After almost a year of being open, it was necessary to close The Shop due to volunteers and staff becoming ill with Covid. We reopened after reassessing our policies and prevention measures, so that everyone was reassured and could shop or volunteer safely.
Since then, The Shop has gone from strength to strength with the support of The Management Committee, staff, volunteers and the local community. This reiterated the need for The Shop in this area as a retail and resource hub. We have been able to support the public by being a collection point for free Covid tests, whilst helping and developing new groups; for example THE GAP gardening project in Park South. We worked with the South Swindon Parish Council to have a Christmas tree for the first time in 10 years in Cavendish Square. The tree was very well received by the local community and added light and colour to the area during the cold, grey, dark winter days and nights.
The Shop was very fortunate to receive a donation for £750 from Hills towards the Woodland sessions. Through raffles, tombolas and sales, The Shop raised donations ranging from £200 to £400 for Ukraine, Save the Children Fund and Wiltshire Air Ambulance; as well as support the Woodland activities and The Shop's running costs.
Other activities included were - supporting the local Scout group, The GAP, community gardening group, Wreath making, Christmas Fun Day, Cavendish Square community day, Easter Letter hunt and colouring competition, regular parish councillor and Police surgeries, bike marking events, the popular Woodland Activity sessions and even St John's shortcake teatime session.
The Shop continues to research ideas and ways to support and empower the local community, and new and established groups and organisations.

Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity 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.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
