Achievements and performance

Review of the Charity's Activities

As reported in 2022, the Charity took over the running of the building in 2010 after its previous tenant went into administration.

The Trustees continued to carry on and develop the training activities formerly controlled by its former tenant and received considerable support from several large employers, including Jaguar Land Rover, Knowsley Council, and Liverpool Council. We are deeply grateful for their continued support, which has been instrumental in our success.

In particular, the Charity benefitted from Jaguar Land Rover's use of its facilities for recruiting, assessing, and

training potential employees.

We have also facilitated Jaguar Land Rover’s delivery of two-month-long training on mental health awareness and diversity and inclusion to 5000 of their Associates.

Northwest Ambulance Service use our facilities to both train and upskill new and existing members of staff. Across 2023 the numbers that have attained qualifications are in excess 1,500. This is looking to continue into 2024.

We have in place training companies who deliver training using the premises on a long-term booking for 12

months.

In addition, the following companies accessed the facilities to deliver Conferences and training to their employees and students; Riverside Housing Association, LHT, AstraZeneca, Seqirus, NHS, 5 Borough Partnership, NWAS, Knowsley Council, Liverpool Council, Jaguar Land Rover and Ford Motor Company.

Over the past year, we have accommodated a voluntary group that works with young men on Mental health issues. We have also supported holding events for several respective charities, showcasing our commitment to the community.

We are proud of our strong ties with the local community. We have facilitated community groups from Halewood and Speke to use our facilities for training and meetings. These initiatives reflect our commitment to supporting local initiatives and positively impacting our community.

In the past year, we have supported two individuals in obtaining qualifications to further their chances of employment and develop skills to help others within their local community. This is just one example of how we are making a difference in our community. We are committed to supporting individuals and organisations in our community and making a positive impact in South Merseyside. We have also employed a young Neurodiverse person from the local community and supported them in gaining qualifications and ongoing personal development.

Partnership for Learning is very active in supporting local community objectives.

We have supported local organisations in the community by using rooms at no cost. We have also been looking to offer office space to a local charity who support terminally ill children, within Partnership for Learning.

Financial review

The financial results for the year are shown on pages 6 and 7 of these financial statements, In summary, they show a surplus of £102,421, compared with a surplus of £37,165 for 2022.

This positive economic performance is a testament to the charity's sound financial management and resilience in facing challenges. The cash position remains strong, with net current assets of £349,201 (2022 £255,670) indicating the charity's economic stability and ability to meet its obligations. The charity's free reserves amounted to £326,700 (2022 £223,170).

Reserves policy

It is trustee policy to maintain a minimum of cash on deposit which represents at least three months core costs. Currently this policy is easily met.

TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Risk management

The trustees are committed to identifying and reviewing the risks to which the charity is exposed. They have implemented a robust risk management strategy, including regular risk assessments and establishing appropriate controls. This strategy provides reasonable assurance against fraud and error, ensuring the charity's financial stability.

Plans for the future

Looking ahead, the trustees are committed to maximising the usage of our building by encouraging as many training organisations as possible on Merseyside and further afield to use our excellent facilities. We recognise the need to diversify and be flexible in using rooms to meet the challenges of the current economy and business needs. Our primary focus is on providing high-quality training linked directly to current local employer requirements, and we will continue to develop our employer engagement strategy to achieve this.

Its primary purpose is to provide high-quality training linked directly to current local employer requirements; PFL Charity continues to develop its employer engagement strategy.

We are looking at further negotiations to partner with other training organisations and have them deliver their training in PFL.

We are currently consulting with other companies and are in talks with them, which will put the charity in a firmer financial position.

We will support local voluntary groups in hiring the Partnership for Learning facility, with local action involving free use of the rooms.

Structure, governance and management

Governing document

PARTNERSHIP FOR LEARNING

TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The process of recruiting and appointing new trustees is transparent and fair. Vacancies are filled by invitation to individuals from critical stakeholders interested in the charity's type of businesses and activities and who have the skills and knowledge to bring to the board. No external body has the right to appoint a Trustee, and the mix of the trustees is at the board's discretion. This ensures a diverse and balanced board that can effectively represent the interests of the public, private, community, and voluntary sectors.

New trustees are invited and encouraged to attend short briefing sessions to familiarise themselves with the charity and its context. The secretary ensures that the trustees are kept updated with any changes in legislation, rules, or regulations that may affect the charity.

The trustees report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

(Continued)

Charitable activities

Charitable activities expenditure comprise those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and also costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Governance costs

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Costs are allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resources.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Leasehold land and buildings Enter depreciation rate via StatDB - cd75 Plant and equipment 33% on cost Fixtures and fittings 33% on cost Computers 33% on cost

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

1.7 Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity's balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
