African Caribbean Community Initiative (A.C.C.I.) - Chair's Foreword for the year ended 31 March 2022

2021/22 saw A.C.C.I. dealing with the continued impact of COVID-19 on staff, members and our communities. The organisation showed resilience and the ability to effectively adapt to challenging times reviewing how services were delivered; from outreach, to therapies and supporting our carers group. As the country has become accustomed to a “new normal”, A.C.C.I. delivered a hybrid service of in person and remote support, determined by the needs and wishes of the members and carers.

That said, at the heart of A.C.C.I. is being connected to our members and supporting their well-being in person and this report is bursting with examples of how the staff epitomise our values, such as the extensive events programme which encouraged healthy outdoor activities to promote mental wellness such as; trike or bike riding, football, “Wimbledon” in West Park and weekly trips to the farm, Old Tree Nursery, where members clean and feed the animals and are empowered. As government guidance changed, A.C.C.I. embraced the opportunity to celebrate and empower members with earth-day gatherings in the hub, candle making, pamper days and visits to watch plays in unexpected surroundings such as Wolverhampton Art Gallery.

The year has seen A.C.C.I. continue to support the wider community in which it operates and by default act as a connector between those communities and local government, health and police. A.C.C.I.’s Community Initiatives such as the Health And Wellness Check For Men saw male staff, members and the community take time out for health checks and awareness.

A proven track record for delivering projects such as MiFriendly Cities and reputation for excellence in delivery of mental health services for the marginalised, has seen invitations for A.C.C.I. to partner with national organisations such as Mind, supporting the development of regional hubs modelled on A.C.C.I.. We are proud that the first such hub is operating out of Telford with £43,195 funding to support a lead and part-time therapists. Similarly A.C.C.I. was awarded £164,087 Suicide Prevention fund by the DHSC.

Whilst partnerships such as these demonstrate the high regard in which A.C.C.I. is held, it’s the notes and messages of gratitude from members, their families and other services that really confirm that A.C.C.I. has continued to deliver an invaluable service throughout 2021/22. At a recent meeting, the police described how A.C.C.I.’s outreach team went above and beyond to support a member and their parent, stating in no uncertain terms that this organisation positively does more than other mental health services.

The staff need commending for their dedication and I wish to express my personal thanks to the staff for the continued delivery of excellent service to members, their carers and the community.

I was elected Chair in 2021/22 and I would like to say thank you to the immediate past Chair Maxine White for her excellent leadership and experience which she used to help steer the A.C.C.I. Board over the last few years.

This has been a time for the organisation to continue to build resilience in its leadership structure, by recruitment into the Community Support Manager role and a restructure of the Board along skills and expertise sub groups to support the strategy for sustainable growth.

So what next?

A.C.C.I. will continue to build on its reputation as a centre for excellence for expertise in African and Caribbean mental health, in its delivery of therapies, outreach and crisis support and training for those wishing to enter this field. This will continue to be inclusive of marginalised communities such as refugees and asylum seekers. To build on our regional and national profile, we will work with policy makers (e.g. WMCA) to better shape mental health for the marginalised.

A.C.C.I. will continue to develop partnerships with mental health and local government organisations to ensure sustainable commissioned services as we face the new world of ICBs and ICPs. The aim will be to secure a seat at the table of the ICP.

African Caribbean Community Initiative (A.C.C.I.) - Chair's Foreword for the year ended 31 March 2022

A.C.C.I. will continue to foster partnerships with private sector organisations where their sponsorship (financial or otherwise) supports our objectives, such as Lloyds Bank and The Grand Theatre amongst others.

Ensure that our Reserves Policy is such that A.C.C.I. continues to grow as we better understand our risks.

This strategic direction and past positive performance is such that we are now a £1m plus charity, is down to the hard work of A.C.C.I.’s staff, leadership, Board of Trustees and the brilliant CEO Alicia Spence.

Thank you all.

Objects and activities of the charity

The purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document.

The objects for which the Charity was established are:

• To promote any charitable purpose for the benefit of the public, but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, especially persons of African and Caribbean origin, living or working in or around the borough of Wolverhampton and its environs, and in particular but not exclusively those persons who are suffering from, or who have suffered from mental illness of any sort.

• To advance the education of such persons, their relatives and carers, persons working in the fields of mental health and the general public by the provision of advice, counselling and training.

Another year on and A.C.C.I. continues to meet and exceed its goals to meet the needs of as many of its existing members and new referrals to the service. We have excelled in areas of sustained engagement with those who use the service on a daily basis and occasional or specific event attendees.

The tangible, hard work, dedication and commitment of our staff can be seen by the results in the numbers of members who have remained well, engaged and involved. We have been able to bring early and timely interventions for a number of members who have severe and enduring mental health, to reduce the need for them to be detained for lengthy periods of treatment or being placed outside of the borough with restrictions to their family being able to connect and comfort them. The outreach team has worked diligently to ensure that members they support are achieving levels of independence that continues to improve and are maintaining their daily living skills and life styles.

We have continued to develop the quality of activities, which has seen an increase in interactive and group sessions, the number and range of activities on offer has also increased in consultation with the members. An integral part of the activities is combined with healthy options with each member choosing their own personal goals and celebrating their achievements.

We have been fortunate to acquire, on an annual basis, free accommodation for short-breaks through the Landmark Trust - ‘Fifty for Free’ charity. We supported carers and members to Bath for five days.

Some of the changes we had to put in place during Covid of adapting and increasing service delivery to maintain the mental health and wellbeing of our members, their families and carers’ including BAME and non BAME communities, have remained in place. This is because on evaluation by both staff and members found that they continue to work well and in some cases improve the functioning of the organisation.

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2022

Our main focus has been:

• The safe space enjoyed by members in the Health and Wellbeing Hub continues to see a growth in the numbers attending to socialise and reduce isolation, receives a freshly made hot meal, engage in many of the activities offered and attend arranged appointments e.g. housing, benefits and reviews for support etc.

• The food delivery service has worked well to ensure that members are receiving a hot meal that is part of a balanced diet. This has also provided the opportunity to sustain engagement, contact and safe and well checks with members. Some of the early mental health interventions have occurred because of this service.

Ensure that families and recipients of benefits or identified as low income households, seeking help with furniture items and appliances, are supported to get the items through the MiFriendly Cities project.

• The organisation was invited to facilitate the government’s Household Support scheme that provided support to low income homes and those on benefits to receive food and clothing vouchers, help with utilities both gas and electric supplies and in conjunction with MiFriendly Cities and a number of other agencies provide appliances and household furniture.

We are still maintaining safe social distancing and continue to visit members who are more in need of a oneto-one approach at their doorstep.

• The number of activities delivered via virtual contact has decreased because members are rising to the challenge of hosting self-help group sessions in the Wellbeing Hub, where social distancing and protective masks are worn.

The organisation remains a vital source of support to the members, carers and families of those with live with mental ill-health. We are also conscious that without the commitment and dedication of our staff members and volunteers we would not be able to deliver the high quality of services that we do right now.

Due to receiving funding from partners and a number of charities, we have continued to access PPE equipment to minimise risks whilst delivering the service in an empathetic and sensitive way.

The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes during the year.

• Providing holistic services that advise and supports the users of the service to maintain their tenancies, care for themselves and their lived-in spaces and seek appropriate assistance when needed.

• Providing volunteering opportunities to the local community as well as manageable and rewarding tasks for users of the service.

• Continue to seek and take opportunities to raise funds to promote the organisation's profile and raise awareness of the service delivery and beneficial activities provided to the users of the service.

• Working in partnership to influence and improve mainstream service provision to African and African Caribbean people and Wolverhampton's diverse communities.

The main activities undertaken during the year to further the charity's purpose for the public benefit.

In addition, during the past year A.C.C.I. due to the Covid-19 pandemic, government policy and locally introduced restrictions was still not able to carry out or facilitate some of the planned activities as normal, such as:

• We were unable to host the annual Carer’s Day of Celebration in June because of the Covid restrictions. However, an afternoon tea party was organised in September at which a total of 80 carers, family, friends and members attended and proved to be a successful event.

• We continued to make daily telephone contact calls to members where appropriate.

• Members attended the cycling which is supervised as a safely distanced event that supports stable mental wellbeing for many members who might otherwise have been isolated for prolonged periods.

• Access to the Therapeutic Counselling Service is still provided for members in crisis due to isolation, fear of the pandemic situation, bereavement/grief/loss and to engage in talking, listening and offer some human contact.

In line with the easing of restrictions and ‘Rule of 6’ government guidelines, we were able to restart and plan for group activities and events, most of which were being accessed on-line.

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2022

The short term and longer term aims and objectives.

A.C.C.I.'s objectives are to provide:

• A complimentary and culturally appropriate service to meet the needs of the African Caribbean community; and

Influence local, regional and national mental health policy development and service delivery.

A.C.C.I.'s trustees have prepared and approved this report and the public benefit statement below with due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance, 'Charities and Public Benefit'.

The charity's strategies for achieving its aims and objectives in the future.

Many of A.C.C.I.'s service users present with conditions often complicated by drug and alcohol addiction, making them among some of the most excluded, isolated and marginalised members of our local community.

In line with A.C.C.I.'s charitable objectives, the organisation provides public benefit via a range of support and services designed to improve the mental health and wellbeing of African Caribbean's suffering or recovering from mental ill health. This is achieved by developing and delivering specialist services to reduce the number of new and repeat hospital admissions among our service users, supporting them to find appropriate accommodation and secure or retain tenancies, improving their life skills and money management, advising on a range of issues including medication, addiction and diet management. These services form the golden thread of A.C.C.I.'s holistic approach to delivering our charitable objectives and helping our service users remain well for longer.

Although the organisation focuses on providing culturally appropriate services to African Caribbean people and their families, the organisation is continually looking at ways to develop methods to manage the efforts to work with the many displaced people coming from outside of the UK seeking assistance for asylum seekers, against human rights violations and refugees who have and may develop mental ill-health. Additional beneficiaries of our services include other ethnic groups and communities, a range of private, public and voluntary sector bodies who work in partnership with A.C.C.I. to promote positive mental health and wellbeing within the local community, raise awareness of support available and de-stigmatise mental illhealth. We also provide a range of training opportunities, advocacy services to influence mainstream practice and policy development among health and social care professionals.

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2022

The main achievements and performance of the charity during the year.

The difference the charity's performance during the year has made to the beneficiaries of the charity and the benefit of the charity's achievements to wider society.

Significant achievements and performance we managed to attain during the year included:

• This year we have received 195 new referrals to our service, which included 55 referrals to our housing advice and welfare rights support service.

• Court services are still suspended, therefore action that would have been taken is still on hold. Similarly, all benefits that would have been reviewed e.g. DLA, PIP, Income Support, ESA and SDP and, new claims are also in stasis. People who are homeless are still being provided with shelter and support.

• The outreach support team observing strict PPE and social distancing regimes attended 2,600 appointments, the number of visits and time allocated to high need client’s homes is still reduced to continue minimising risk. Telephone calls and virtual communications that replaced many face-to-face sessions still continue.

• Since the commencement of the lockdown and throughout the pandemic the organisation’s hot meals delivery service, providing a freshly cooked, nutritious, hot meal to members, carers and families continues and is a popular and necessary feature.

• The Holistic Therapy and Counselling Team service reduced face-to-face sessions and carried out consults by telephone, during the period 96 new referrals were received. Where needed, safe distanced door-step visits were made to those who are most vulnerable to extreme low moods and expressed issues due to Covid isolation and fear of leaving their homes. Holistic hands-on therapies e.g.: Reiki, head massage, auricular acupuncture etc., were not available during this period.

Health and wellbeing activities co-ordinated during this period were limited to those that could be safely, socially distanced i.e.

Cycling,
Walking,
Fitness session held outdoors, weather permitting, with PPE if tolerable,
The introduction of Bubbles in the Health and Wellbeing Hub lead to members being divided into groups with scheduled visit times in restricted numbers, which worked really well.

Other activities that were migrated to virtual sessions using Zoom:

Practical crafts, sewing, baking/cooking, faith session,
Service user-led sessions in hearing voices, women’s group, writing, poetry and musical, IT learning.

• We supported 5 social work placements from Birmingham City University and Staffordshire University. For each student we have again issued a PPE kit. However, the number of face-to-face meetings are still reduced. The designated days where tasks were set for the students to work from home 2 days per week and attend the placement site 3 days per week worked well, as they were able to fulfil their study needs and remain safe.

Structure, governance and management of the charity

The methods used to recruit and appoint new charity trustees.

Given the specialist nature of the organisation, trustees are recruited using a range of approaches, specifically targeting individuals and organisations with the appropriate mix of expertise, knowledge and skills to undertake the business of the organisation. Adverts for trustee vacancies are circulated via relevant clinical, social care and third sector publications and networks in line with A.C.C.I.'s marketing strategy and equal opportunity policy.

In line with our Memorandum and Articles of Association, expressions of interest in management committee vacancies are invited, nominated and elected at our Annual General Meeting. Places are reserved on the management committee for service users and carers. The organisation also has a range of alternative mechanisms to promote and encourage service user engagement, input, consultation and feedback. We have made provisions for the co-option of members in order to meet identified needs or gaps on a short term basis throughout the year.

The policies and procedures for the induction and training of trustees.

A.C.C.I.'s management committee induction pack includes information about meeting dates, roles, responsibilities and useful contacts and is issued to all new trustees with their letter of appointment. A joint staff and Board member away day is also organised annually after our AGM and presents an ideal opportunity for new Board members to meet the staff team, existing trustees and gain a helpful insight into A.C.C.I.'s day to day activity.

Financial review

The charity's financial position at the end of the year ended 31 March 2022

The financial position of the charity at 31 March 2022 and comparatives for the prior period, as more fully detailed in the accounts, can be summarised as follows:-

Restricted Revenue Funds Total Funds Net income Unrestricted Revenue Funds available for the general purposes of the charity	2022 £ 238,871 197,075 408,589 605,664	2021 £ 147,870 94,940 271,853 366,793

Financial review of the position at the reporting date, 31 March 2022.

Unrestricted Income Restricted Income Total Income	2022 £ 780,872 641,272 1,422,144	2021 £ 590,349 622,623 1,212,972

African Caribbean Community Initiative (A.C.C.I.)

Company Registration Number - 04014153

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2022

The total funds on the balance sheet are £605,664 which is an increase from previous years of 65%. While this increase is welcomed, we are keen to focus on a funding and income strategy that can deliver against our reserves policy as outlined below. Additionally the balance sheet reflects funding received late in the financial year to fund activity that is ongoing and committed for future years.

The charity has continued to exercise prudent management of expenditure during the year.

The charity will continue to focus on sustainable income generation and funding in the coming years to ensure its medium/long term viability.

Policies on reserves.

The Management Committee have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (the free reserves) held by the charity should be between three and six months of the resources expended, which equates to between £295,818 to £591,636 in general funds. At this level the Management Committee feel that they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. It would obviously be necessary to consider how the funding would be replaced or activities changed. At present the free reserves which equate to £197,075 of unrestricted funds which is 14% of the combined revenue or the equivalent of 7 weeks of total funding, the Board are therefore targeting some renewed energy and resource to secure adequate levels of funding especially in the prevailing and sustained challenging economic climate. The Board have engaged in proactive fundraising in order to assist in bridging the gap and have also made progress in the areas of Business Development.

Availability and adequacy of assets of each of the funds

The board of trustees is satisfied that the charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund.

The major risks to which the Charity is exposed and reviews and systems to mitigate them.

A.C.C.I.'s trustees take responsibility for reviewing major risks to which the charity may be exposed and the systems established to identify and monitor all identified risks. During the year, the board finalised implementation of a new risk management policy and procedure.

Financial and service delivery risks are managed by an enhanced suite of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. This ensures consistent quality across delivery for all operational aspects of the organisation. The procedures are reviewed regularly to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the charity, our funders, commissioners and relevant regulating bodies.

Key priorities for the trustees moving forward into 2022/23 will be to:

• Secure contracts to deliver essential elements of A.C.C.I.'s existing service provision subject to competitive tenders,

• To continue building the internal infrastructure to enable the organisation to develop skills and expertise, thereby achieving sustainability.

Plans For the Future

Summary of plans for the future and the trustees' perspective of the future direction of the charity.

The Trustees are mindful of the current and ongoing pressures on resources that is impacting all sectors. We are still waiting to understand the full effect of Brexit and its possible effects on charities and funding of commissioned service providers.

In the Trustees endeavour to secure the sustainability of A.C.C.I., new initiatives have been introduced to strengthen as well as diversify income generation opportunities for the organisation:

• Telford & Wrekin Council have invited the organisation to tender for a pilot project - Improving access to mental health services for black adults in the Telford and Wrekin area.

The organisation has embarked on the first strands of an infrastructure plan that will focus on the future of the organisation.

• Both Birmingham City and Staffordshire universities have asked for additional, commissioned social work placements for their Master’s degree students.

Specific activities planned for 2022/2023:

Ongoing initiatives:

We were not able to progress work on initiatives highlighted in our last report, where we are seeking to secure ongoing funding and development to sustain specific areas of the organisation’s service delivery. This has to be deferred until we are able to understand the effect of the pandemic on supporting stakeholders, partners and charitable funders and importantly, the impact on the economic state of the country and repercussions on local spending.

We are continuing to seek:

Secure ongoing funding for the Folami Counselling and Holistic Therapeutic Service.
Secure funding to sustain the role of the Health and Wellbeing Activities Co-ordinator.
Secure a Crisis, Recovery and Respite Service to support vulnerable adults in need of crisis care.
Continue preparing to secure and retain the tender contract for Omari Supported Housing Scheme.
Diversify and increase income by tendering for ethical and appropriate opportunities that will meet the needs of diverse communities in Wolverhampton.
Strengthen collaborations and partnerships with current funders i.e. City of Wolverhampton Council.
Continue to explore opportunities to develop future partnerships with NHS in mental health services.
Have full acquisition of the 8 flats based at Waterloo Road currently used by the organisation to house members who have moved on to independent living with day-time support, alongside the floating support service.

A number of new initiatives were deferred:

Work towards the ongoing partnership arrangement with Nehemiah Housing to provide joint housing management services for the Omari Housing CIC.
Pursue the invited opportunity with the NHS to look at future mental health service commissioning to deliver appropriate services for BAME communities with the reformed Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (BCHFT).

Funds held as custodian trustees on behalf of others

The charity receives funds from Omari in respect of the state benefits for individuals which it holds on their behalf and distributes to them. The net movement during the year was an decrease in balances held of £14,991. A balance of £9,235 was held at the year end.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees of African Caribbean Community Initiative (A.C.C.I.)

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of African Caribbean Community Initiative (ACCI) (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and 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 charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;

have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
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 the provisions available for small entities. 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 charity’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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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. 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 course of 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.

African Caribbean Community Initiative (A.C.C.I.)

Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees of African Caribbean Community Initiative (A.C.C.I.)

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

• the information given in the trustees report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared, which includes the directors' report prepared for the purposes of company law, is consistent with the financial statements; and

• the directors' report included within the trustees report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

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 directors' report included within the trustees 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; 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 prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the trustees report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose 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 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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's 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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022

1 Accounting policies

Policies relating to the production of the accounts.

Basis of preparation and accounting convention

The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , effective January 2016, and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration, except that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Risks and future assumptions

African Caribbean Community Initiative (A.C.C.I.) meets the definiton of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition.

Nature of income

Gross income represents contractual payments received to fund charitable activities, the value of goods and services sold in accordance with the charity's objects, and gifts and donations.

Categories of Income

Income is categorised as income from exchange transactions (contract income) and income from non-exchange transactions (gifts), investment income and other income.

Income from exchange transactions is received by the charity for goods or services supplied under contract or where entitlement is subject to fulfilling performance related conditions. The income the charity receives is approximately equal in value to the goods or services supplied by the charity to the purchaser.

Income from a non-exchange transaction is where the charity receives value from the donor without providing equal value in exchange, and includes donations of money, goods and services freely given without giving equal value in exchange.

African Caribbean Community Initiative (A.C.C.I.)

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022

Income recognition

Income, whether from exchange or non exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity’s assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably.

Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met.

All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs.

The accounts are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

Accounting for deferred income and income received in advance

Where terms and conditions relating to income have not been met or uncertainty exists as to whether the charity can meet any terms or conditions otherwise within its control, income is not recognised but is deferred as a liability until it is probable that the terms or conditions imposed can be met.

Any grant that is subject to performance-related conditions received in advance of delivering the goods and services required by that condition, or is subject to unmet conditions wholly outside the control of the recipient charity, is accounted for as a liability and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. Deferred income is released to income in the reporting period in which the performance-related or other conditions that limit recognition are met.

When income from a grant or donation has not been recognised due to the conditions applying to the gift not being wholly within the control of the recipient charity, it is disclosed as a contingent asset if receipt of the grant or donation is probable once those conditions are met.

Where time related conditions are imposed or implied by a funder, then the income is apportioned to the time periods concerned and, where applicable, is accounted for as a liability and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. When grants are received in advance of the expenditure on the activity funded by them, but there are no specific time related conditions, then the income is not deferred.

Any condition that allows for the recovery by the donor of any unexpended part of a grant does not prevent recognition of the income concerned, but a liability to any repayment is recognised when repayment becomes probable.

Income from legacies

Income from legacies is recognised when the charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them, that where required, probate has been granted, the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate, that it is probable that the amount will be received by the charity, and the amount to be received can be estimated with sufficient accuracy, and that any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.

African Caribbean Community Initiative (A.C.C.I.)

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022

Policies relating to expenditure on goods and services provided to the charity.

Recognition of liabilities and expenditure

A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated.

Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities, and is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates.

Policies relating to assets, liabilities and provisions and other matters.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are measured at their original cost value, or subsequent revaluation, or if donated, as described above. Cost value includes all costs expended in bringing the asset into its intended working condition.

Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets to their anticipated residual value over their estimated useful lives.

Plant and machinery

25 % reducing balance

Accounting for capital grants and fixed asset funds.

Gifts of tangible fixed assets or grants of a capital nature, given for the purposes of acquiring specific assets to be fully utilised in the furtherance of the objects of the charity, are credited to fixed asset funds after the donated asset has been received or sums have been properly expended on the restricted purpose.

Debtors

Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Cash and bank balances

Cash held by the charity is included at the amount actually held and counted at the year end. Bank balances, whether in credit or overdrawn, are shown at the amounts properly reconciled to the bank statements.

Pensions - defined contribution schemes

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.

African Caribbean Community Initiative (A.C.C.I.)

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

There are no designated funds included in the accounts.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal or as implied by law.

There are no endowment funds.

2 Liability to taxation

The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.

3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity

If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.

4 Significance of financial instruments to the charity's position

There are no significant implications of financial instruments to the charity's position.

5 Net surplus before tax in the financial year

The net surplus before tax in the financial year is stated after charging:- Depreciation of owned fixed assets Pension costs Auditors' remuneration 6 Interest payable HMRC interest Bank interest payable	2022 £ 10,064 20,155 3,600 2022 £ 19 202 221	2021 £ 10,674 16,962 3,600 2021 £ - - -

7 The contribution of volunteers

The charity depends on the support of its volunteers, which is much appreciated. The arrangements with volunteers are difficult to value precisely in monetary terms and have not been recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. The volunteers and the charity accept and agree that no contract of employment is created by these arrangements.

8 Staff costs and emoluments

Neither the trustees nor any persons connected with them have received any remuneration from the charity or any related entity, either in the current or prior year.

No employees received emoluments (excluding pension costs) in excess of £60,000 per annum.

9 Defined contribution pension schemes

Any liabilites and assets associated with the scheme are shown under debtors and creditors.
