REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (incorporating the directors' report)

for the year ended 31st March, 2021

The trustees present their annual report along with the financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2021. The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law and who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing Document

Memorandum and Articles of Association incorporated 29th April 1999 as amended by special resolutions dated 23rd August 1999, 26th June 2000 and 8th April 2006.

Recruitment and Training of Trustees

The members shall carry out the election of the officers and committee members at the Annual General Meeting. Nominations shall be made in writing and delivered to the secretary. Each nomination must be proposed and seconded by a voting member of the Association and accompanied by the written consent of the nominee.

New Trustees are inducted into the workings of the Charity during meetings held on a monthly basis.

Organisational Management

Overall responsibility for the management of the Charity is vested in the Trustees. The management of the association shall be invested in a committee consisting of members as described on page 1.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The trustees are responsible for the management of the risks faced by the Charity. Therefore, the trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems have been established that monitor and control these risks to lessen/avoid the possible impact these could have in the future.

The key controls used by the Charity include:

a) Formal agendas for all committee and Board meetings

b) Comprehensive strategic planning, budgeting and management accounting

c) Established organisational structure and lines of reporting

d) Clear authorisation and approval levels

The Trustees recognise, however, that these systems can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.

Reserves Policy

Honicknowle Commnet Ltd is currently dependent on successful funding bids to sustain its charitable activities, as earned income alone would not allow the charity to continue operating. This means that if there were to be a gap in the charity’s funding sources it is likely that the charity would have to close down.

To avoid closure if funding difficulties were to happen the Board of Honicknowle Commnet Ltd has agreed to keep a certain level of financial reserves to ensure that main operations can continue for a period of 3 months.

The main concerns of the Board are to ensure:

That staff can continue working, primarily to secure new funding, That members/service users are supported to move on to other services.

It is thought that reserves of £15,000 would be needed to continue running for at least three months.

These reserves have been built up from unrestricted income. The level of reserves will be reviewed every six months and the policy reviewed annually.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The objectives of the charity in the year under review were:

a) The relief of persons resident in the City of Plymouth with a particular regard to Honicknowle and the surrounding areas who are in condition of need, hardship and distress.

b) The advancement of education (including pre-school) of persons resident in Honicknowle and the surrounding areas.

c) Providing or assisting in the provision of facilities for recreation and other leisure time occupation for the inhabitants of Honicknowle and the surrounding areas in the interest of social welfare with the objects of improving conditions of life for the said inhabitants. d) Any charitable purpose for the general benefit of the inhabitants of Honicknowle and the surrounding areas.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (incorporating the directors' report)

for the year ended 31st March, 2021

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Honicknowle Commnet Ltd is now approaching its 23rd year of working in and closely with the local community. Our success has been built on our passion and commitment for making sure that all services we offer are community led with a focus on delivering services which provide opportunities for both social and personal development for all service users. We use a wide variety of delivery methods including one- one support, group work, consultation and peer research. All of our provision is identified by local people, therefore it is service user led. This enables us to channel resources to meet those needs in the most appropriate way. Our focus has been based on delivering projects and supporting local people alongside fundraising to ensure that we can continue to provide this very much needed service.

Our Youth Work provision for young people aged between 10- 25 years is delivered in line with Plymouth City Council’s Youth Service Curriculum Framework, in Every Childs Matters Outcomes and the Hear by Right Standards.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the surplus or deficit of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

-select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

-make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

-prepare the accounts on the going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company 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 company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

SMALL COMPANY PROVISIONS

This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime of the Companies Act 2006.

a) For the period ended 31/03/21 the company was entitled to exemption under section 477 of the Companies Act 2006.

b) The Members have not required the company to obtain an audit in accordance with section 476 of the Companies Act 2006.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31st March, 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and the preceding year.

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and on an Accruals basis, in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April, 2008), the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' issued in March, 2005 (SORP 2005) and the Companies Act 2006.

Incoming Resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Grants, including grants for the purpose of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the statement of financial activities in the year in which they are receivable.

Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable.

Resources Expended

Resources expended are recognised in the period in which they are incurred. Resources expended include attributable VAT which can not be recovered.

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

Unrestricted Funds

Unrestricted funds are donations or other general income receivable or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.

Designated Funds

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the management committee for particular purposes.

Restricted Funds

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of management and support costs.

Tangible Fixed Assets

Tangible Fixed Assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.

For valuation purposes, depreciation is calculated at the following annual rates, in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:

Fixtures, Fittings and Equipment:25% over four years on a straight line basis. Property:2% on a reducing balance.
