REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 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 31 March 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

Significant activities
Our key activities in furtherance of our charitable objects during the year were:

Services delivered in the community
Providing day care with increasing flexibility, sustainability and being informed by best practice. Developing our Silver Link centre as a hub for our own and community activity.

Information and advice services

Public benefit
In setting the objectives and planning the activities of the charity, the trustees have given due consideration to the Charity Commission's guidance on 'Public Benefit'.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Throughout the year Age UK Doncaster continued to provide services in line with its charitable objectives. In line with our vision to take the fear out of ageing by empowering and supporting older people in Doncaster to live and age well, we continued to work with thousands of beneficiaries many of whom are amongst the most vulnerable in the area.
We continue to ensure our services are staffed and organised into those delivered in the home and those delivered in the community.
In the early part of the period Covid continued to challenge our services which led us to move to significant homeworking and adjusting services in line with Government guidelines and policy.
We continued to provide both Council commissioned and private homecare which included cleaning, shopping and befriending services through our integrated Home Support Service team.
We continued to deliver day activities to around 150 plus people at our Silver Link Centre and other venues in the area involving experts, schools and youth organisations to enrich the experience of those attending.
Our Circles project continued to increase social resilience by pairing volunteers with others who needed support in achieving their goals in life.
Our information and Advice service continues its valuable support for our clients which has resulted in over 250 enquiries per month covering subjects such as Home support services, befriending, personal care and money matters.
CASEwork Services Community Interest Company ('CASEwork')
During the year we joined with local Age UKs in Sheffield, North Yorkshire, Wakefield and York as the founding members of CASEwork, a new Community Interest Company which provides a shared finance team and system, and is potential source of future income generation.
Future plans and developments
-
Homecare annual contracts have been renewed and Home from Hospital has been extended by 6 months.
-
Ageing well sessions at our Silverlink are ongoing and well received with additional wellbeing courses being developed
-
We are developing opportunities across activities for supporting people with dementia, this will be implemented on our strength based single assessment tool and holistic wellbeing approach which will identify areas for support and will enable early intervention and prevention work to be undertaken.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The results for the year are set out in the attached financial statements.
Financial review
The Statement of Financial Activities shows a net deficit of £71,646 (2021: restated surplus of £213.583). The charity however continues to show a strong reserve position with total funds carried forward of £1,792,255 (2021: restated total funds of £1,863,901). The balance of unrestricted funds, excluding those represented by tangible fixed assets, was £1,254,435 at 31 March 2022, from £1,236,011 in the prior year.
Principal funding sources
Our three biggest sources of income remained funding from commissioned services, grants and income from clients. The reduction in total income in the year from the prior year relates to a fall in income from fees received for services delivered in the home, and the scaling back of the of the Covid-19 financial support through the period.
Prior year adjustment
In preparing the financial statements in accordance with the Charities SORP, as explained in our accounting policies in note 2, we are required to recognise income where the conditions of entitlement, probability and measurement are satisfied. On review this year, it became apparent that this income recognition policy had unfortunately not been properly applied in prior years, with the result that grants and donations had been incorrectly deferred and included in other creditors rather than recognised as income.
To address this error, a prior year restatement has been made in the financial statements, with the combined effect of increasing reported reserves at 31 March 2021 by £402,496. Further details of the adjustment are given in note 15 to the accounts.
Investment policy and objectives
The investment portfolio is reviewed with the investment manager annually with the risk profile Low Moderate and objective of income and growth with all investment ethically screened.
Reserves policy
The organisation's reserves policy is reviewed and discussed annually at Board level and the level of reserves held are deemed to be sufficient for the activities undertaken.
The trustees consider that maintaining reserves which represent approximately 6 months of ongoing expenditure meets the requirements of its current reserves policy.
The trustees are conscious of the need to maintain a reasonable level of reserves within the charity to provide resilience and headroom for the organisation, particularly in this very challenging economic environment, whilst ensuring that the resources of the charity are properly applied to meet its charitable mission.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is governed by its memorandum and articles dated 7 Jul 1999, as amended by a certificate of incorporation on change of name dated 2 May 2000 and a certificate of incorporation on change of name dated 2 June 2017. The charity is constituted as a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Age UK Doncaster is a brand partner of the national Age UK network, and as such is an independent charity. The memorandum and articles of association of the charity specify that its objects are to promote the relief of elderly people in the metropolitan district of Doncaster.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
An ongoing process which has resulted in a new trustees being appointed when required, in order to provide the range of skills and experience considered appropriate for the organisation.

REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS
Auditors
UHY Calvert Smith LLP Statutory Auditor Chartered Accountants Heritage House Murton Way Osbaldwick York North Yorkshire YO19 5UW
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of Age UK Doncaster for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees 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 which 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 those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and 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 business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to 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.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
AUDITORS
The auditors, UHY Calvert Smith LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
Approved by order of the board of trustees on 26 October 2022 and signed on its behalf by:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF AGE UK DONCASTER
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Age UK Doncaster (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement 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 (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 2022 and of its 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.
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 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' 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 Report of the Independent Auditors 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 inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.
Opinions 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 Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
-6-
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF AGE UK DONCASTER
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the 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 Report of the Trustees.
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 take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.
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.
-7-
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF AGE UK DONCASTER
Our 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 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.
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:
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:
-
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with management and trustees and from our professional and sector experience; and
-
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the charity, including the Charities Act 2011;
-
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting documentation.
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 relationships;
-
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
-
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in note 2 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; and
-
reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; and
-
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims.
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.
A 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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF AGE UK DONCASTER
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. 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.

AGE UK DONCASTER NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1. STATUTORY INFORMATION
The charity is a private company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England & Wales. The registered office of the company is Unit 1, Ten Pound Walk, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, DN4 5HX.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company.
Going concern basis
The trustees have considered the financial position and projections of the charity, and have a reasonable expectation that it has adequate resources to support its ongoing activities for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimate and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances.
Areas in which judgement has been applied include an assessment of the appropriate expenditure to recognise against certain restricted grants, and the allocation of supports costs as outlined below.
There are considered to be no assumptions or estimates made in the the preparation of these financial statements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year.
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 charitable activities represents amounts receivable in connection with services delivered by the charity, and includes fees receivable, payments under service contracts and performance related grants.
Income from contracts for the supply of services,and similar performance related grants, are recognised over the period of delivery.
When donors specify that donations and grants are for particular restricted purposes, which do not amount to pre-conditions regarding entitlement, this income is included in incoming resources of restricted funds when receivable.
No amounts are included in the financial statements for general volunteer services.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
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.
Charitable activities
Cost of charitable activities include those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries.
Allocation and apportionment of costs
Costs are directly allocated to charitable activities where possible.
Support costs include central functions and overheads that assist the work of the charity. These include staff costs, office costs and overheads and governance costs.
Support costs are allocated in proportion with the direct staff costs involved in each charitable activity. This estimate is considered to reasonably reflect the underlying financial activities of the charity, and provide a reliable basis for allocation in the context of the charity's size and resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Freehold property - 2% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 15% on reducing balance Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance
Fixed asset investments
The charity's investment portfolio is stated at fair value, as determined by the price quoted by the fund managers at the balance sheet date. The portfolio is managed, and comprises a range of listed bonds, equities and open-ended investment companies.
Gains and losses on investments, whether arising on revaluation of disposal, are included on the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
Investment in group entity
The charity is a guarantor member of CASEwork Services Community Interest Company, a company limited by guarantee and having no share capital. No amount has been recognised in respect of the charity's interest in the company. An initial advance of £15,000 made to CASEwork to provide working capital is included in debtors falling due after more than one year.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

15. PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENT
Restatement of income and fund balances
Adjustment has been made to recognise income that had previously been deferred and included in other creditors, but which satisfied the conditions for recognition in accordance with the Charities SORP.
The total impact of this adjustment is to reduce creditors at 31 March 2021 by £368,653, with additional income of £147,948 recognised for the year ended 31 March 2021 and £220,705 in respect of earlier years and reflected in the unrestricted fund balance brought forward.
A further adjustment of £34,293 has been made to recognise the purchase of a minibus from a restricted donation in the prior year; this previously having being included in charitable activity expenditure on the Statement of Financial Activities.
The combined effect of the adjustment is to increase the total funds of the charity by £402,496 from the level previously reported.
Adjustment has also been made to reclassify fund balances of £60,897 at 31 March 2021 as unrestricted rather than restricted income, as these relate to services provided under contract or partly funded by users. Details are shown on note 21.
Presentation adjustments
A number of reclassification adjustments have also been made to the comparative figures shown on the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) in order that these better reflect the activities of the charity and the reporting requirements as set out in the Charities SORP. The main reclassifications are:
-
Fees received for services, and service contracts and grants have been classified as income from charitable activities.
-
Income and expenditure has been reported by activity; classified as services delivered in the home, services delivered in the community and information and advice services.
-
Investment portfolio management fees have been classified as being in respect of raising funds, rather than reported as part of central administration expenses.
-
An adjustment of £28,994 has been been made to reduce the previously reported income and expenditure for 31 March 2021, as this had been grossed up on the SOFA in error. This adjustment has no overall impact on the previously reported surplus for the period.
