Organisation

The Board meets quarterly and a Chair is appointed by the Trustees to manage the day-to-day operations of the Charity. To facilitate effective operations the Chair has delegated authority within terms of delegation approved by the Trustees, for operational matters including finance, employment and related activity.

The Charity is organised so that the Trustees meet regularly to manage its affairs. There is a manager who manages the day-to-day administration of the Centre and we are grateful to unpaid volunteers who provide their time to help with the running of The Abbey Access Centre.

Objectives and activities

The Abbey Access Centre's aims are to advance education by:

1) Promoting the training and rehabilitation of persons resident within the area of Abbey Ward of the City of Lincoln who by reason of their social and economic circumstances are unable to gain employment;

2) Providing formal or informal education and otherwise to relieve any hardship or distress of those in need through their social and economic circumstances;

3) to promote such other charitable purposes for the general benefit of the public as the charity shall think fit.

In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit, in particular the Trustees consider how specific projects will contribute to their objectives.

The charity continues to provide free services to the local community, which include training to help to get the local community into employment, education or other training programmes. Through this work the Trustees aim to further the charitable purposes for the public benefit.

Financial review

Investment powers

As per the Articles of Association, the Trustees are empowered to invest such part of the fund as they may see fit in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. During the year no such investments were made.

This provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration support costs. Unrestricted funds were maintained at this level throughout the year.

Plans for future periods

Funding for 2023/2024

Our Lincolnshire County Council Community Learning funding has been increased this year to help us overcome some of the funding we have lost as ESF funding came to an end, Multiply funding and Qualification funding, Better Together contract, a grant from Lincolnshire Community Foundation, Youth Futures Foundation, CITB, Community Renewal Funding, Enable AEB and Traineeship funding, Commercial NVQ's for external employers and Awards for All.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Abbey Access Centre

Year ended 31 March 2023

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Abbey Access Centre ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.

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).

3. Accounting policies (continued)

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:

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

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

The Abbey Access Centre

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the financial statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

3. Accounting policies (continued)

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:

Property improvements - 2% straight line Fixtures and fittings - 15% & 25% reducing balance Equipment - 25% 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.

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 cashgenerating 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.

Stocks

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.

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.
