Report of the Trustees (including the Directors’ Report) for year ended 31 May 2024
The Trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 May 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity including the Directors Report as required by company law.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published in October 2019.
Reference and administrative details of the charity, its trustees and advisers
The directors of the charitable company are its trustees for the purposes of charity law. The trustees who have served during the year and since the year end and other administrative details are set out on page 1.
Structure, governance and management
Governing Document
The organisation is a Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee, incorporated on 31 May 2001 and registered as a charity on 04 October 2001. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association.
Governance and management structure
The policy and operating decisions of the charity rest with the trustees who liaise regularly and meet formally, as required, to monitor the activities of the charitable company. Funding for projects is agreed with the Donor Representative to ensure expenditure is in line with income. The Chief executive has responsibility for the day to day implementation of the charity’s objectives. The Chief finance officer assists the Chief executive with the operations of the trust.
The trustees approve the pay and remuneration of key management personnel annually and periodically seek external advice on how pay rates compare to external benchmarks.
Recruitment and Appointment of the Board of Directors/Trustees
The trustees shall not be subject to retirement by rotation. Unless otherwise determined by the Charity in general meeting, the term of office of a trustee shall continue until he retires or is removed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the articles. The appointment of trustees is in accordance with the provisions of the company’s Articles of Association. As the trustee body is small and most have served for several years, there are no formal policies for recruitment, induction and training of trustees.
Statement of trustees/directors’ responsibilities
Company and charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees have:
-
selected suitable accounting policies and then applied them consistently;
-
[made judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;]
-
[stated whether applicable 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 presume that the charitable company will continue in operation
The trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that the charity has an appropriate system of controls, financial and otherwise. They are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Compliance with laws and regulations
The trustees confirm that the charity has complied with all legal and regulatory requirements for charitable companies registered under the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.
Objectives and activities
Objects of the charity
Turn Trust has two charitable objectives: the relief of poverty and the advancement of the Christian faith. It operates in Greater London.

Report of the Trustees (including the Directors’ Report) for year ended 31 May 2024 (continued)
Achievements and Performance
Review of Activities
Turn Trust achieves its objective by undertaking research and development in ecclesiology and church planting. Its activities have been shaped by conclusions emerging from this research, which were carried out in the first instance, in connection with the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies.
The activities of the trust were resumed in 2023 across all parts: Turn Training, Turn Business, Turn Refit, and Turn Networks, in the UK and overseas, and the new projects started in the last quarter of 2023 continued to develop through 2024. The textile group in Camden, sewing group on the Isle of Dogs. Dance therapy, with the goal of using dance movement to increase mental health and the kids club in Dalston have all continued. We have continued our work in the City based at All Hallows, and the Club night in Camden, where our goal is to connect with the people who come to our projects, to find out more about their needs. Our work in Yorkshire has grown; we have placed five people who have been growing projects in Knaresborough and Harrogate. We have continued to develop our Love Beyond network of churches: our team will work closely with them. The Camden Café, which is operated via our subsidiary Turn Trading Limited, has been running at full speed now with a combination of Love Beyond workers and paid staff as the team. The cafe has been a safe haven for neighbours and also for participants of our projects. The toilets in Camden have been upgraded. We have also refurbished space at All Hallows. We received 10 new workers in 2023/24 who are based in London and Harrogate.
Financial Review
The Trust has successfully applied for and received corporate sponsorship. The charity is registered with HM Revenue and Customs for the purpose of reclaiming Gift Aid. During the year total revenue increased to £528,185 (2023: £441,965) and total revenue expenditure increased to £603,099 (2023: £484,299) resulting in a deficit for the year to £74,914 (2023: deficit £42,334). The trustees are satisfied with the overall result and having agreed to use some of the reserves to fund charitable activities.
Reserves Policy
The Board of Directors have established a policy whereby free reserves held by the charity should be maintained as sufficient to cover its short-term commitments plus retaining funds towards capital development. At the end of the year the free reserves held after designations were £87,159 (2023: £162,264), which represents 52.7 days revenue expenditure at current year levels (2023: 125.5 days). Restricted reserves were £203 (2023: £12).
Risk Management
The Directors have reviewed the risks to which a small charity operating with few employees is exposed. Appropriate procedures are in place to identify, monitor and review these risks on a regular basis.
Public Benefit
The charity has due regard to guidance published by the CC on public benefit. The Charity's Commitment to promote the Christian faith creates an opportunity for all to hear the gospel. We train Christian social entrepreneurs, so they can create and run projects well. We also promote the creation and development of communities out of which the social projects can emerge. We manage houses so that accommodation is provided for charity workers to enable them to serve their local communities more effectively. All our charitable activities, defined by our aims and objectives, are for public benefit.
Plans for future periods
Turn Trust’s lines of activity are set to continue and expand in the following areas:
TURN TRAINING: The training hubs and campuses development have been the focus of our energy, while also working with partners in East and North London and Harrogate in their training placements.
TURN BUSINESS: Cafe operations are growing as we work closely with the team and clientele to developing menus, facilities and the variety of complimentary community projects who use the space.
TURN REFIT: As opportunities and the charitable work requires, premises are being improved, well kept and modified.
TURN NETWORKS: New partnerships are being developed, through our monthly gatherings and community groups developed previously. A few overseas workers returned to England in the past year and were added to the local team helping us to stretch our reach for new partners in England and also overseas.

Independent Examiner’s report to the Trustees on the unaudited accounts of Turn Trust
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for year ended 31 May 2024, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Summary Income and Expenditure Account, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and related notes which are set out on pages 6 to 23.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity 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’). As the charity’s trustees you consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
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 company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act.
In carrying out my examination it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Independent Examiner’s statement
Since the company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
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 that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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 forming part of the financial statements For the year ended 31 May 2024
1. Accounting policies
(a)
Basis of preparation
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) published in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.
The charity has availed itself of Paragraph 3 (3) of Schedule 4 of the Companies Act and adapted the Companies Act formats to reflect the special nature of the charity’s activities, and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
(b) Company status
The charity is a private company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales and registered with the Charity Commission in England. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the legal and administrative information on page 1. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are set out in the Report of the Trustees under “Objectives and activities”.
(c)
Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. These funds are held to finance both working capital and capital investment.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income and gains are allocated to the appropriate fund.
(d)
Income recognition
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income, after any performance conditions have been met, and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy and it is probable that the income will be received. For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received.
For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained, then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.
The charity receives government grants in respect of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met, then these amounts are deferred.

Turn Trust
Notes forming part of the financial statements For the year ended 31 May 2024
1. Accounting policies (continued)
(d) Income recognition (continued)
Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares and property. It includes dividends, interest and rent. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend and rent income is recognised as the charity’s right to receive payment is established.
Where practicable, gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. Donated facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified, and a third party is bearing the cost. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers in line with the SORP (FRS 102).
(e)
Deferred income
In accordance with the SORP (FRS 102), grants and donations received in advance and specified by the donor as relating to specific accounting periods or alternatively which are subject to conditions which are still to be met are deferred on an accruals basis to the period to which they relate. Such deferrals are shown in the notes to the accounts and the sums involved are shown as creditors in the accounts.
(f)
Resources expended
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:
-
Costs of raising funds includes staff costs and goods and services specifically attributable to the activity;
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes both direct and support costs; and
-
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into the categories above.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives. Where unconditional grants are offered, this is accrued as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant, as this gives rise to a reasonable expectation that the recipient will receive the grants. Where grants are conditional relating to performance then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside of the control of the charity.
(g) Support costs allocation
Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. Premises overheads have been allocated on a floor area basis and other overheads have been allocated on the basis of the head count.
Fund-raising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.
Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities. They are costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out centrally. Management and administration costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
(h) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing more than £300 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition or making the asset capable of operating as intended.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight-line basis over their expected useful economic lives as follows:
Office equipment, furniture and fittings Over 4 years Motor vehicles Over 5 years Leasehold improvements Over lease term

Notes forming part of the financial statements For the year ended 31 May 2024
1. Accounting policies (continued)
(i)
Investments
Investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date, where this can be determined with reasonable accuracy, otherwise investments are stated at cost less impairment where there is evidence that the value has been impaired. The SOFA includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year.
(j)
Impairment
Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset’s cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease.
(k)
Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
(l)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash represents cash in hand plus bank balances immediately available to the charity. Cash equivalents are bank balances held on short term deposit available to the charity at up to 3 months’ notice.
(m)
Pension costs
The company operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. The costs of contributions are written off against profits in the year they are payable.
(n)
Finance and operating leases
Rentals applicable to operating leases are charged to the SOFA over the period in which the cost is incurred. Assets purchased under finance lease are capitalised as fixed assets and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the expected useful economic life of the asset. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors. The difference between the capitalised cost and the total obligation under the lease represents the finance charges. Finance charges are written-off to the SOFA over the period of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge.
(o)
Taxation
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.
(p)
Going concern
The charity is dependent on continuing donations from Solomon Estates Limited, HMCA/s plc and the Care Insurance Company Limited and as a consequence the going concern basis is also dependent on these donations continuing. These donations are agreed annually in advance and there is no indication that they will be discontinued in the foreseeable future, donations are agreed before the start of the year and the charity has planned its expenditure in line with the confirmed income.
(q) Financial Instruments
Financial instruments such as loans, accounts payables, accounts receivables and cash are classified as either basic or complex. All financial instruments are initially measured at their fair values at the transaction date. Subsequently all basic instruments are measured at amortised cost and complex instruments are measured at a fair value through the statement of financial activities (comprehensive income statement).

1. Accounting policies (continued)
(r) Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies that have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.
The key assumptions concerning the future and at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year include:
Tangible fixed assets: tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives considering residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on several factors. In re-assessing asset lives factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are considered. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values.
Other key sources of estimation uncertainty and assumptions:
Allocation of administration costs: a proportion of expenditure is either not directly attributable to specific projects or related to the central administration of the charity. In determining how to allocate these costs the trustees have considered the level of activities in each project, use of facilities and administrative support.

22. Donated goods, facilities and services
The charity does not recognise volunteer time in the accounts as, apart from the trustees, most volunteers are also beneficiaries of the charity.
The charity had a lease on 43 – 45 Camden Road at a peppercorn rent from the Lamb and Flag Enterprises Limited (a subsidiary of Solomon Estates Limited). When the original lease was granted, the building was in need of renovation before it could be occupied, and Turn Trust has undertaken the refurbishment as part of its charitable activities to provide opportunities for construction industry training as part of its Skill Up project. Following completion of the refurbishment a new lease was granted from 5 February 2024 and expiring on 30 June 2028, initially at an annual rent of £120,000, reducing to £84,000 from 1 July 2024, reducing to £84,000 from 1 July 2024. Turn Trust has spent approximately £12,961 on refurbishment and maintenance during the year ended 31 May 2024 prior to the granting of the new lease. As the current rent is regarded as a full commercial rent there is no discount to recognise as a donation.
