HILLSIDE CLUBHOUSE
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES – 31 MARCH 2021
The Trustees present their report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts, the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and Accounting, and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We outline below a summary of the key points and achievements of the year.
-
Despite the huge challenges of covid 19 high numbers of people were supported to start work – 112 (of which 102 unemployed and others were additionally supported into second or subsequent jobs)
-
Wellbeing and satisfaction levels with the Clubhouse amongst members remained high during covid with slight upturns in most indicators – we report on those below - we supported members to improve or maintain their mental and physical wellbeing and lead happier more fulfilled lives and, in turn, many people avoided both practical and mental health crises.
-
We responded well to the challenges of covid by adapting quickly and offering services both remotely and in person wherever we could and we maximised digital inclusion amongst our membership by sourcing equipment and providing training and supports as well as providing services by telephone and mail. We offered services face to face during the year wherever possible and allowed by guidance.
-
We completed our organisational restructure and had begun recruitment to two new director roles to strengthen and future proof our organisation and infrastructure and support growth over coming years
-
Following a successful three and a half years of our Camden Work and Wellbeing specialist employment support service we were granted an extension to 31 March 2022.
-
Despite the financial climate we again returned healthy surpluses on funds and continue in a strong financial and strategic position.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Objects of the Charity are to relieve the needs of individuals suffering from mental or physical illness or impairment of any description, in particular but not exclusively by providing, or assisting in the provision of, psycho-social rehabilitative services in order that those individuals may regain their confidence and skills.
The main strategies employed to achieve the charity’s core objectives are to
- Make available opportunities to members as part of the ‘work ordered day’ to learn or regain work related skills

HILLSIDE CLUBHOUSE
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES – 31 MARCH 2021
-
Provide individually focused one to one employment support and guidance to mainstream employment
-
Make available a range of external work placements and including our retail and catering outlets
-
Provide social, practical and emotional support to members to help them achieve their goals
The main change that we seek to make is to ensure that our members become more confident, increase their skills base and become more socially included by way of working for mainstream employers, participating in training and education and leisure and social facilities in the mainstream and in the Clubhouse.
The Clubhouse has an extensive ‘portfolio’ of services to support member wellbeing and social inclusion:
• the Workday programme which helps members to develop life and workskills through volunteering to run the daily business functions of the Clubhouse
• Recovery! Project which provides practical help and support to those with personal problems or crises
• Mental Health Working Islington - information advice and guidance to mainstream employment, training and volunteering for Islington residents. Parts of the service work to the Individual Placement and Support Model within integrated NHS teams.
• Camden Work and Wellbeing – our mental health employment support service for Camden residents based on the Individual Placement and Support Model. The service also provides job sustainment and job retention support. We deliver the service in partnership with Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust
• Flexible work opportunities on our external catering service and in ‘The Kiosk’ for those that might need a stepped support to mainstream employment
• Catalyst Programme (a small individual grants scheme in partnership with the Cripplegate Foundation) for members’ personal development.

Training

Social Programme
The trustees believe that they meet their public benefit obligation through the deployment of this strategy The result of such public benefit is that Clubhouse members, who are all people with mental health problems, increase skills for life and work and become more socially included in work related activity including mainstream employment and education.
In planning activities and delivering services the trustees have particular regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
The criteria we used to measure success in the reporting period included:

HILLSIDE CLUBHOUSE
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES – 31 MARCH 2021
-
Measuring the numbers of people who achieved employment, training and volunteering outcomes
-
Measuring wellbeing and social inclusion indicators by way of short questionnaires and surveys
-
A detailed full annual satisfaction survey
-
Anecdotal evidence and case studies from individuals
The Charity’s long term aim is to support people to lead more fulfilling lives and to be more socially included in their local communities and we do this through the various services and shorter and medium term interventions we deliver. These include:
-
Personalised one to one support from employment advisers
-
Support from Clubhouse Workers with practical and emotional matters
-
Training and work experience
-
Supporting members to access services in the community that will benefit them.
Clubhouse members, while beneficiaries of the Charity, are also volunteers and make a significant contribution towards the day to day running of the Charity. The Clubhouse Model has an ethos of co-production whereby members are fully involved in the day to day running of the Clubhouse business functions alongside staff. This will include such services and processes as administration, catering, maintenance, business development, decision making, finance, project delivery, promotion, compliance and many other areas.
SUMMARY OF MAIN DEVELOPMENTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS
It has been without a doubt the most challenging year the Clubhouse has ever faced. However the Clubhouse has proved itself to be agile and responded well to the challenges of the pandemic. We had to close to face to face working at the start of the pandemic butt we quickly had telephone and virtual supports and communications up and running and we were also one of the only services in Islington of our kind to reopen when the Government’s guidance on the use of multiuse facilities allowed us to reopen in Summer 2020. Much work was put into a covid secure risk management plan and limited numbers of members returned to the building by appointment in the summer. Teams operated in separate ‘support bubbles’ to mitigate. This continued through the summer until 5 January when rising rates and reassessment led to the decision to return to remote working. We returned to face to face working (in early April 2021). Due to the need to provide some services remotely we worked hard to maximise access for our members and looked at alternative solutions during the year where we have not been able to provide a face to face service. In addition to face to face delivery where we could we provided the following:
-
One to one wellbeing and support calls to members from support workers on a regular basis (often daily) to encourage motivation, routine, safeguard, provide appropriate support and maximise engagement in workday activities
-
Regular group call conference calls and project working groups to support members and engage in workday tasks
-
An active online PhP bulletin board to recreate the busy buzzy atmosphere of the Clubhouse itself
-
We used small grants from the London Community Response Fund to purchase data plans and simple mobile phones for those that did not have them to stay in touch
-
We secured a number of laptops for loans to members
4
HILLSIDE CLUBHOUSE
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES – 31 MARCH 2021
-
We provided one to one and some more organised training to some members on Microsoft Teams
-
We worked with other partners in and around Islington to source support/equipment for those needing it if we could not provide that support ourselves.
-
Supported those who could do courses, applications forms, virtual interviews and volunteering online on a one to one basis and worked closely with Islington Adult Learning and the Working Men’s College and other providers so that our members could maximise offers
Members faced some significant challenges which have been supported including fear and anxiety due to the ongoing situation, loneliness, accessing food, not having access to or skills for digital inclusion. A lot of support has been focussing on staying well physically and mentally including staying active and mindful.
Outcomes
Despite such a difficult year some fantastic outcomes were yet again achieved: 114 people into work – a huge achievement in these times! and at least 101 undertook a wide range of training (accredited and non accredited). Furthermore 126 people were supported to return to or retain work, 24 members became external volunteers (some on covid emergency work ) and we supported at least 992* people during the year.
(*due to the need to transition quickly to remote services initial support provided by telephone and remotely might not all have been captured so 992 is a minimum).
Impact
We had anticipated a downturn in some of our impact measures from our annual evaluation given the coronavirus situation but we are incredibly pleased to actually see slight increases in satisfaction about the impact of our services during these very difficult times.
95% said that we had supported them to remain mentally well
97% said that we had supported them to increase self-esteem, confidence and motivation
95% said that we had helped them to improve life skills and/or improve self care
79% said that we had helped them to remain physically well
83% said that we had helped them become more involved in other activities outside the Clubhouse
During a period where people have been afraid of mixing indoors we are also pleased that 96% of those who have come to the Clubhouse have felt safe with our covid secure arrangements and social distancing measures and 97% were happy with the help and support they received during lockdown periods .

GOVERNING DOCUMENT
Hillside Clubhouse Limited is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 6 December 1999 (as amended from time to time). It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission (number: 1080735).
RECRUITMENT AND APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEES
The Directors of the Company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company’s Articles are known as members of the Management Committee.
There is a trustee recruitment policy and new trustees are appointed on the basis of skills needed by the Board. Recruitment takes place through word of mouth, advertising through local bulletins and newsletters, through networking events, in newspapers and by mailouts as and when new trustees are needed.
REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS
The Trustees delegate day to day management of the Charity to Graeme Jones, Executive Director.
11
HILLSIDE CLUBHOUSE
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES – 31 MARCH 2021
TRUSTEE INDUCTION AND TRAINING
There is an induction and training policy and all trustees have role descriptions. New trustees receive a thorough induction and comprehensive handbook (which sets out the obligations of trustees, contains the main documents relating to the Charity’s operation, contains up to date financial information including audited accounts and contains business plans).
Induction further consists of a visit to the Clubhouse and a meeting with the Executive Director, a written induction manual, attendance at two meetings as an observer prior to joining the Board of Directors, a named trustee as a ‘buddy’, notes of the last three Board meetings at least. All trustees are required to sign a declaration of commitment and qualification for trusteeship form and a signed declaration of any interest in the Charity.
All trustees receive the Charity Commission newsletters. Trustees have access to governance and management committee training provided by the local voluntary action council as well as attendance at any other relevant training.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The trustees maintain a comprehensive risk register and action plan to minimise risks. This was reviewed during the financial year. The corresponding action plan sets out systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the plan and procedures are implemented to minimise any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise. The main risks faced by the Charity fall into the following areas:
-
Governance
-
Human resources
-
ICT
-
Health and Safety
-
Finance
-
Premises
-
External profile
-
Compliance (Law/Regulation)
The main risks facing the Charity are typical for a charity of our size and structure and there were no major changes to the risks reported last year which continue to include:
-
Working with an increased number of people from a number of different sites brings challenges and the need to ensure not only integration within relevant teams but also robust lone working procedures. These challenges can both be around protecting staff while lone working but also management, performance and support of staff working mainly on their own and own initiative.
-
The Camden Work and Wellbeing has a payment by results model whereby 25% of the contract price is paid on outcomes.
-
Security of core funding.
12
HILLSIDE CLUBHOUSE
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES – 31 MARCH 2021
New areas of risk during the year included:
-
Coronavirus – this obviously had a major impact on our operations but we were able to quickly set up systems for remote working and support to members at the start of the pandemic and during periods when the building was allowed to open a robust covid secure risk management plan operated
-
Loss of Programme Manager – following an organisational restructure the Programme Manager left our organisation in February 2021. This resulted in additional workloads for the Executive Director and senior managers but interim plans were quickly put in place to minimise the impact on our operations and teams
-
Loss of revenue from the Kiosk and catering – due to the pandemic not catering orders were booked and revenue to the Kiosk was limited. However we were fortunate in obtaining some small grants either through government funding, the London Community Response Fund and the generosity of our existing funders. The Kiosk continues with members working on a voluntary basis meaning that financial risk is minimised. Our catering services will undertake a full review in the coming financial year.
A comprehensive building risk assessment was also undertaken during the year as well as a covid secure risk management plan. The Programme Manager and Employment Support Team Manager oversaw the risk assessment and management of individual members.
The Trustees have a rigorous and robust approach to health and safety with robust policies and practices that are regularly reviewed as well as risk management being a standing item on board meeting agendas.
EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY AND SERVICE USER INVOLVEMENT
The trustees also apply a thorough and robust approach to equality and diversity. In addition to operating a general equal opportunities policy, equal opportunities and diversity run through all strands of the Clubhouse's policies, procedures, activities and monitoring and evaluation. This is further enhanced by member (service user) involvement running through all aspects of the Clubhouse's activities, delivery, management and planning. As a result of this the Clubhouse’s current demographic makeup in terms of ethnicity and culture continues to be higher than the local demographic averages both in terms of staffing and membership.
Hillside quickly responded to events following the Black Lives Matter movement with a thorough organisational review and we developed and implemented a comprehensive and robust Equality and Diversity action plan – the main tenets of which are published on our website.
Our Diversity is our Strength.

HILLSIDE CLUBHOUSE
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES – 31 MARCH 2021
ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE
Hillside Clubhouse has a trustee Board of no more than twelve and not less than four persons. The trustees, as directors are responsible for overall policy and meet on average every six weeks. There are additional sub committees for personnel and other ad hoc sub committees are convened as and when required. The Board of trustees are responsible for overall policy but much of the day to day activity is conducted by individuals to whom it delegates authority. Day to day responsibility is delegated to the Executive Director who has responsibility for the overall strategy and direction of the organisation and associated operational managers who have responsibility for day to day operational matters. The Employment Support Team Manager has operational responsibility for the Mental Health Working Team and there are two operational managers for Camden Work and Wellbeing (one in Primary Care and one in Secondary Care).
There were a maximum of 25 other members of staff who were responsible for delivery of the Clubhouse’s services to members in this year.
CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
Restructure
Since our inception in 2000 we have grown in size five-fold. While this has obviously been positive for beneficiaries the growth, wide variety of services and their technical complexities had stretched the senior management infrastructure. We therefore commissioned an independent review from an expert consultancy who recommended deletion of one management role and the creation of two director roles (one for employment services and one for clubhouse operations) and an administration post. We have now completed that review and recruitment is live. Both new roles will also have a focus on further business development. This will enable us to be more agile and respond to challenges and opportunities ahead as well as being able to bid for more services and tenders. This will be essential as we face a number of challenges going forward – our specialist employment support contracts come to an end at the end of July 2022 and March 2022 respectively.
Sustainability of catering and retail
The long term sustainability of our catering and retail outlet is of concern given that we are unlikely to see returns to full time working for many of our customers so the new director appointed will be tasked with a full feasibility review and we may have to reconfigure this part of our business. Funding for core Clubhouse operations remains the hardest to come by and income from this outlet contributes towards that.
“Coccooning”
For members themselves – while looking forward to a sense of normality going forward – our experiences have also taught us that during periods of lockdown some members have ‘cocooned’ and much work may be needed to support some to re-engage and become confident to be socially included again after such long periods of isolation. In fact emerging from the last lockdown seemed harder for many than after the first lockdown.
20
HILLSIDE CLUBHOUSE
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES – 31 MARCH 2021
NHS Transformation
Our IPS employment services will face challenges in secondary care due to NHS reorganisation. The success of the model depends on how well integrated employment specialists are with their NHS clinical teams and this works very well with local community mental health teams but the NHS Transformation agenda with a move to the new Community Mental Health Framework will take up a lot of time due to the technical and far reaching changes these will bring not just locally but nationally in future. New ‘blended’ teams working with those with severe and enduring mental health issues will be set up around primary care networks and some of our specialists will need to work in these teams meaning whole new operational frameworks will need to be carefully planned to ensure successful integration within new teams.
- Covid 19
This remains a significant threat but the Clubhouse has a robust and ongoing covid risk management plan to minimise risk and ensure a safe working environment for members and staff and we have proved adept at responding to changes as well as successfully containing any covid cases.
NETWORKING AND PARTNERSHIPS
Hillside Clubhouse has a strong culture of working together with other organisations and this has been a key strength in both our sustainability plans and one of the reasons we are able to deliver high levels of outcomes for our members. We continue to be very widely networked in local, regional and national forums and networks for a wide range of purposes including strategic, operational, delivery, informational, quality and capacity building purposes. Some of the key networks we worked together with in the past year included:

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Going forward the Charity has planned prudently to ensure that financial risks ahead are mitigated.
Balanced budgets to 31 March 2022 are anticipated and we continue to constantly review our Fundraising Strategy for future years. As before the focus is on securing tenders and maximising delivery on payment by results elements of contracts. The strategy also includes tendering for new contracts and approaching charitable foundations and trusts as well as increasing self generated income through catering operations to support the core Clubhouse. The two new directors are also expected to bring in additional income.
The principal sources of funding are explained in Note 14 to the accounts and all of these funds contribute towards the Charity’s aim of enabling Hillside Clubhouse members to lead more fulfilling lives and become more socially included in their communities.
At year end a surplus on general funds of £18,684 was held. This has been the result of sound financial planning and management.
The main sources of income during this period were: service level agreements and contracts with local authorities and grants. Smaller amounts of income were self generated including some external catering income.
The financial position is sound at year end and the organisation planned its budget for the next financial year during this period.
The organisation has worked hard to develop its financial sustainability again this year through fundraising, service development and securing extensions to contracts and the Trustees have designated reserves (including reserves for contingency) which are described elsewhere in this report.
Designated reserves are held and are explained below.
RESERVES POLICY
The trustees have examined the charity’s requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the charity. £80,260 is held in a general reserve fund and designated funds of £806,692 were held. This is made up of £20,449 redundancy reserve, £415,000 contingency fund, £96,993 new

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES – 31 MARCH 2021
business and development fund, £52,000 running costs in 2020/21, £120,000 property fund, £45,382 property refurbishment fund and a total of £44,667 of unspent funds from Stone Family Foundation and Camden IPS designated for future spend. At the year-end 199,536 was held in a restricted capital fund and £1,330 in a restricted fund.
Contingency reserve
While the current financial picture is healthy the Charity continues to be mindful of the current financial climate and we are also keen to protect our core Clubhouse so the Trustees have carefully and prudently planned for contingencies with the aim of building up the contingency reserve to equate to a readily realisable amount equivalent to six months current turnover - £500,000). This is particularly important in the post Covid 19 and Brexit era given that there may well be pressure on external finances particularly within the public sector. This reserve currently stands at £415,000 which equates to 5 months running costs at current levels. The Trustees continue to plan to mitigate any potential risks which include:
-
less income from catering and retail outlets
-
short term nature of contracts and less margin for full cost recovery on contracts
-
given the nature of our work with vulnerable and often sensitive people the Trustees feel that were there to need to be any reconfiguration or winding down of services (should finances not be secured) that we would need to allow enough time to prepare people for move on and support and that period would therefore entail at least six months.
-
Risks on payment by results contracts
-
The difficulties of securing core funding for the Clubhouse
Capital asset (property reserve)
While this is presented as part of the Charity’s reserves it is in practice money tied up in the new building (which we purchased). The funds could only be realised on sale of the building. It is therefore not money which is readily accessible or available to the Charity.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
-
To recruit and develop our two new directors and administrator
-
To consolidate what we do well and to seek new opportunities for expansion
-
Continue to focus on sound delivery of outcomes on our Camden Work and Wellbeing and Islington Mental Health Working Service
-
To review our catering/retail operations
-
To look at how we can develop our digital offer further
-
Retendering for Islington and Camden contracts in 2021 and 2022
-
Implementation of our new three year business plan

HILLSIDE CLUBHOUSE
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES – 31 MARCH 2021
TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Trustees (who are also the directors of Hillside Clubhouse for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report 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 that give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. 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 Charities SORP;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue on that basis.
The Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity 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 prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions
STATEMENT OF DISCLOSURE TO OUR AUDITORS

-
there is no relevant information, being information needed by the auditor in connection with preparing their report, of which the auditor is unaware, and

HILLSIDE CLUBHOUSE
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HILLSIDE CLUBHOUSE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Hillside Clubhouse (‘the charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Statement of Cashflows, Balance Sheet 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 the United Kingdom accounting standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2021 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 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity 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
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
-
the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
-
the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Charity’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
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 auditor’s report 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 trustees’ report (incorporating the strategic report and the directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the trustees’ report (incorporating the strategic report and the directors’ report) have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

HILLSIDE CLUBHOUSE
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HILLSIDE CLUBHOUSE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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;
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns;
-
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of our audit.
Responsibilities of the trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 20, the trustees 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 they 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 Charity’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 Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
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 an auditor’s report 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.
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 auditor’s report.
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
-
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the computer software and support sector;
-
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 company, including the Companies Act 2006, data protection and FCA regulation;
-
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
-
identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained
27
HILLSIDE CLUBHOUSE
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HILLSIDE CLUBHOUSE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
- alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
Audit response to risks identified
We assessed the susceptibility of the company’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 1 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;
-
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the Charityʼs 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 Charityʼs members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditorʼs 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 Charityʼs members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

14. ANALYSIS OF UNRESTRICTED AND RESTRICTED FUNDS
Purposes of capital restricted funds
The Tudor Trust grant of £200,000 was given specifically for the purpose of purchasing the leasehold building which Hillside Clubhouse moved into in 2011. Depreciation is charged against this fund on a straight-line basis over 125 years.
The Awards for All grant and Stone Family grant were both given for the purpose of purchasing partitions.
Purposes of designated funds
The property refurbishment fund is held separately for general future property repairs. The property reserve fund is shown separately to general reserves as this is the approximate amount of unrestricted reserves used in purchasing the new building and hence the fund has been set up for future depreciation charges. The redundancy reserve fund is held separately to general funds in case of the possibility of redundancies in the future. The New Business Development will fund the Director of Clubhouse Operations for two years. The Contingency fund contains approximately six months of income based on current levels in order to meet an unexpected call on funds, or to seize opportunities that may present themselves. The Camden IPS fund is for the 21/22 project costs, and will be repurposed into general funds if not required after 2022.
Purposes of revenue restricted funds
Balances on restricted funds represent unspent funds given specifically for individual projects. These balances will be carried forward and spent on each project in the following year. The purpose of each fund is as follows:-
-
Cripplegate catalyst fund – small grants for members’ personal development
-
Tesco Bags of Help 2020 – this is towards the cost of developing members’ reception skills.
-
Tesco Bags of Help 2021 – grant to fund for assisting in costs of protective screens for COVID-19.
-
Henry Smith – To fund management salary costs.
Sufficient resources are held in each fund to enable the funds to be applied in accordance with any restrictions.

16. OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PROVIDED BY AUDITORS
In common with many other entities of our size and nature we use our auditors to assist with the preparation of the financial statements.
17. PENSION COMMITMENTS
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. The pension cost and charge in the accounts represents contributions payable by the company to the fund and amounted to £30,633 (2020 £27,957). At 31 March 2021 £4,257 (2020 £4,605) was payable to the fund. Pension costs are allocated to funds based on the staff that are assigned to the specific fund.
18. DEFERRED INCOME
Deferred income relates to grants received for which the charity has deferred into 2021/22. The deferred income of £11,500 relates to the grant from Henry Smith for £23,000, of which £11,500 has been deferred for the period 1 April 2021 – 30 June 2021.
