Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The charity's objectives are: 

- To provide for the relief of people in the Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale areas with a learning or physical disability by the provision of, and assistance in, education, employment and facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation of such persons. 

There has been no significant change in these objectives during the year. 

The trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on the public benefit in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. 

We continue to review our objectives on a regular basis. The review considers what we have achieved in the previous 12 months. We have referred to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. 

## **Public benefit** 

The benefits to the public of the charity are: 

- Providing education, training and recreational facilities for people with disabilities past school leaving age; 

- Providing respite relief for carers; 

- Preservation of the environment. 

As required by the Charity Commission guidance, all these benefits relate to the aims of the charity. The trustees cannot see any detriment or harm arising from these benefits. The benefits are primarily to a specific section of the public, those with learning difficulties and their carers. People in poverty are not excluded from our benefits. All our activities revolve around our primary objective of providing for the underprivileged in the locality. 

The number of people accessing the employment scheme is 45 individuals obtaining 96 one-day places per week. 

Our scheme is accessed through a referral system, and the age of service users is 18+. 

The other community projects which we operate allow the general public to access low cost services which include catering, printing and low-cost meeting space. 

## **STRATEGIC REPORT** 

## **Achievements and performance Achievements and performance** 

We work in partnership with public agencies: 

- To allow us to offer and provide the widest range of services that best meet the needs of our client 

- population; 

- To provide services of an appropriate quality standard; 

- To provide an enjoyable, constructive and stimulating environment for all users of the services offered.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 

## **STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review** 

## **Financial review** 

The results for the year and the charity's final position at the end of the year are shown in the attached financial statements. 

The charity is dependent upon ongoing funding to help pay for resources and staffing costs, and currently holds service agreement contracts with a number of agencies. Continued funding will be necessary to enable the charity to maintain its current level of activity. Wherever possible, additional sources of funding and income are sought. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity's policy on reserves is that unrestricted funds are needed to: 

- Provide funds which can be designated to specific projects to enable these projects to be undertaken at short notice; and 

- Cover administration and support costs, without which the charity could not function. 

The trustees consider it prudent that unrestricted reserves should be sufficient to: 

- Avoid the necessity of realising fixed assets held for the charity's use; 

- Cover one year's management and administration costs; 

- Provide a pool equal to 10% of the average charitable expenditure over the preceding two years from which funds can be designated to specific projects. 

The trustees consider that reserves at the current level will ensure that, in the even of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. The level of reserves is monitored and reviewed by the trustees on an ongoing basis throughout the year. 

## **Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **Risk policy and management** 

The management committee has conducted a review to assess the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to those risks. 

Significant external risk to funding has led to the development of a strategic plan which will allow for the diversification of funding activities. 

Budgets and forecasts are prepared on a regular basis and these are regularly reviewed and measured against performance to minimise exposure to risk and allow tight control over expenditure. 

Internal control risk in minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. 

Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, clients and visitors to the centre.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 

## **STRATEGIC REPORT** 

## **Future plans** 

The Board of Directors and trustees are looking at ways to maximise income streams whilst monitoring expenditure. Avis Turner MBE has recently retired from the Company Secretary role within the business; however, Avis is now on the board of Trustees and Directors, the day-to-day running will be overseen by our Service Manager and Farm Manager. The board had contracted with a local consultancy company to provide additional support to the management team and Board. This was mainly around grant funding and other large income generation. However, this arrangement has now concluded and alterative avenues are being investigated. We are looking at recruitment on to the board of Trustees to gain more people who can share their expertise. We need more marketing, legal and local representation. 

We are looking at income streams from the new building sites locally, Crest Nicholson, Keepmoat - Forge valley development and one other private investment company. We will be marketing the Farm Shop & Bakery and Tea Room particularly at these new homes but also the local village and surrounding areas. 

The service manager will be working closely with the Local Authority to ensure that we maximise the  contracts through the local brokerage team. We will continue to maintain our existing projects on site and where possible seek new funding for any other projects which complement our current provision. 

We will continue monitoring expenditure and will need to look at ways of controlling costs in this time of cost-of-living increases. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Basics Plus 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Basics Plus ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts 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 your 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 your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, 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 Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts 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 accounts 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)). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value. 

## **Income** 

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the income will be received. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Any income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Grants receivable ae shown gross and are recognised in the SOFA to the extent that they relate to  the period up to the year end. Where funding has been given for a period that spans the year end, the amount that relates to the following period is deferred and carried forward. 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under the headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. 

Direct charitable expenditure includes the direct costs of the activities and depreciation on related assets. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of the resources. 

Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Freehold property - 1% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 10% on reducing balance Motor vehicles - 20% on reducing balance 

## **Stocks** 

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
