TRUSTEE’S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022
Trustee’s Report For the year ended 31 October 2022
We present our report and financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2022. We 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 2015) – Charities SORP (FRS102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
1. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE and MANAGEMENT
Waste Not Want Not (WNWN) is a limited company by guarantee and a charity registered in England with the Charity Commission.
Our governing document is our Memorandum and Articles of Association. In the event of WNWN being wound up our liability as Trustees is limited to a sum not exceeding £1. As existing Trustees, we elect new Trustees in accordance with the Articles of Association. On appointment, all new Trustees receive a copy of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, an induction pack, which includes information on their role, disclosure and declaration of interests form and the Charity Commission booklet ‘Essential Trustee’. Training is made available to all Trustees as required. As Trustees we meet as a board on a regular basis to set strategy and monitor performance. We delegate to the Manager the task of day-to-day management of WNWN, which he carries out to a high standard.
2. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
VISION Creating comfortable homes at affordable prices
MISSION
Waste Not Want Not aims to reduce the effects of poverty, tackles waste and offers a brighter and better future to some of the most financially disadvantaged individuals in our community.

WASTE NOT WANT NOT LIMITED
TRUSTEE’S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022
OBJECTIVES
-
Reduce the effect of poverty by offering a source of good quality furniture and household items at low cost. Replicate the customer experience given by a High Street retailer by ensuring the showroom stock is set out attractively.
-
Offer volunteering and work experience to the local community enabling them to build confidence, life skills and for those that wish gain help with CV writing and interview preparation to move on to paid employment.
-
Help the environment by collecting free of charge surplus household items fit for reuse to divert usable goods away from the waste stream. For every sofa that is reused instead of being replaced by new it’s the equivalent of 4,479 trees taking in CO2
3. TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The purpose of this statement is to distinguish our responsibilities in relation to financial statements and accounting records from those of the auditors as stated in their report.
Charity and company law require us as Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the company for that period. In preparing those financial statements we are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charity Commission’s statement of Recommended Practice (SORP)
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
Prepare financial statements on a going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to assume that the company will continue to operate.
As Trustees we are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and also for ensuring that the financial statements comply with relevant legislation. We are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
4. SMALL COMPANY EXEMPTIONS
4
This report is prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

WASTE NOT WANT NOT LIMITED
TRUSTEE’S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022
5. FINANCIAL RESULT AND RESERVES
The statement of financial activities on page 9 shows the incoming resources and the application of those resources for WNWN. The key factors are as follows:
-
a) During the year ended 31 October 2022 WNWN had one principal source of unrestricted funding. This was from sales of donated second-hand furniture and electrical items, which at £87,930. A secondary source of unrestricted funding is from grants, donations and Gift Aid refunded.
-
b) The restricted funds, which relate to funding received for specific purposes, had income during the year of £21,103. After taking into account all relevant expenditure of £21,103 the restricted fund balance is £0.
The Trustees have resolved to maintain a contingency fund at a level that equates to between three and six months of the budgeted operational costs. This would provide a cushion against fluctuations in income and would enable WNWN to continue with its current activities. At 31 October 22 this contingency reserve is £40,000, which is within the reserves policy of WNWN.
6. INVESTMENT POLICY
As there is a relatively low level of funds available for investment, we consider bank deposits provide a satisfactory return to WNWN. In the year to 31 October these have been short term deposits with WNWN’s banker and other UK regulated banks.
7. RISK MANAGEMENT
As Trustees we review the major risks that WNWN faces on a regular basis and carry out periodic reviews of the controls over key financial systems. We also consider other financial, operational and business risks faced by WNWN, especially the maintenance of adequate reserves and have ensured that insurance cover has been reviewed and updated. As Trustees we confirm that systems have been established to mitigate, as far as possible, any significant risks.
The media continues to give much publicity to the effect of the cost-of-living crisis on millions of people that were already struggling to cope on tight budgets. Many are now forced during the winter months to make a daily choice of eating or heating.

Reports published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation in 2022 show that in the last ten years:

TRUSTEE’S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022
-
People in large families (with three or more children) are twice as likely to be behind on their essential bills, living in a cold home, or not eating properly compared to people in smaller families with children
-
Lone-parent families are three times more likely to be behind on bills or living in a cold house, and five times more likely to be unable to afford to eat properly compared to couples with children.
-
Families where no one works are four times more likely to be behind on bills or to be living in a cold home and six times more likely to be unable to afford to eat properly compared to people in working families.
-
People in single adult families with a disabled family member are four times more likely to be behind on bills, six times more likely to be living in a cold home and nine times more likely to be unable to afford to eat properly, compared to those in families where no one is disabled
Wiltshire Council’s Economic Unit ranks its 281 community areas by indices of deprivation.
The results show that WNWN looks after 11 of the most deprived areas in Wiltshire’s top 20.
Our potential customers are finding it increasingly easy to purchase items via internet social media platforms. We are embracing the challenges this presents and in the past year have significantly increased our online presence. Pictures of new stock items are posted regularly on our Facebook pages as well as in local buy/sell Facebook groups.
We are aware that risk is not fixed and that everyone should be aware of their environment for changes as and when they may occur. For this reason, WNWN continues to involve staff in developing future plans, ensuring risks of any nature are explained and understood. Training of staff continues to be a priority as does the recruitment of volunteers and Trustees with the appropriate skills to cover roles as required.
8. PUBLIC BENEFIT
8
As Trustees we have kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The focus of our charitable activities during the year is set out in our statements on “Objectives and Activities” and “Achievements and Performance” and these explain how as a charity we have delivered public benefit.

9. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
During 2022 WNWN:
-
Supplied affordable goods to 4,966 individuals on low income - many had partners / children so in real terms the charity helped in excess of 10,000 financially disadvantaged people achieve a more pleasant and comfortable lifestyle.
-
Raised funding of £8,900 specifically for its Fresh Start scheme. This enabled WNWN to provide goods from its stock free of charge to 33 individuals rebuilding their lives after suffering extreme circumstances. Common cases qualifying for assistance are those that have fled domestic abuse or been previously homeless. £4,000 of this funding was provided from WNWN’s own reserves when grants from external sources were insufficient to meet demand.
-
Provided volunteering, training, and work experience to 23 members of the local community including 5 with additional needs
-
Visited 1,227 properties to collect donated goods and thus diverted some 84 metric tonnes of usable goods away from the waste stream
We continue to work closely with Wiltshire Council, local charities and community organisations, such as SSAFA, housing associations, Splitz, Lions Clubs, Community First and Alabare. These partnerships help us reach the people who are most in need of our services.
As Trustees we are very grateful to all those who made donations and grants during the year, as without that help, it would not have been possible for WNWN to maintain and develop its operating activities along with its training and volunteering programmes.
To keeps its prices as low as possible for its financially disadvantaged clients WNWN endeavours to raise funding each year to help offset its running costs.
In 2022, £35,200 of funding was raised which in effect subsidised the price WNWN needed to charge for its goods by 27%.
WNWN is profoundly grateful to the following for financial support in 2022: National Lottery Reaching Leather Sellers Foundation

TRUSTEE’S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022
During 2022 WNWN hosted 23 volunteer placements.
With Covid restrictions lifted WNWN was once more able to host weekly work experience attachments from local Secondary Schools. Of the 23 volunteers that helped WNWN during 2022:
-
2 came through the Building Bridges Programme – this supports people who are facing significant challenges in being able to develop their skills to move towards the world of work
-
3 were attached through the Probation Service to fulfil Community Service Orders
-
5 had special needs
-
5 were pupils from secondary schools gained work experience
Sincere thanks to Greensquare Group, a large social housing provider, which also provides valuable ‘in-kind’ support. This takes the form of printing WNWN’s publicity leaflets and giving valuable help and professional advice when needed.
WNWN would like to acknowledge the continued support of the Wiltshire Community Foundation (WCF). All WCF staff are friendly, supportive and very knowledgeable about how best to support work in the charitable and voluntary sector.
RAY DAWSON
During 2022 Ray Dawson a serving WNWN Trustee and previous Chairman of the charity passed away have bravely battled against deteriorating health for several years.
Ray originally introduced himself to WNWN in July 2014 stating he had retired from business life and had a strong desire to offer his services to help others.
11
Ray was an active volunteer and moved away from these physical duties some two years later to become a WNWN Trustee and then eighteen months later he offered to take on the role of Chairman when a vacancy arose.
Ray handed over the role of Chairman to his fellow Trustee Bob Nation and remained on the Board making an active contribution right up until the time of his demise.
WNWN certainly benefited from the time that Ray so willingly gave to the charity. His positive leadership when Chairman of the Trustees enabled the charity to survive during what were some very testing periods

FUTURE PLANS
The manager will continue to review the pricing of our goods to ensure our customer base is able to afford the essential items needed to furnish a home. The manager must ensure that at all times there are similar items available at the standard affordable rate.
A new lease was signed on behalf of WNWN replacing the original lease that expired some five years ago. The delay in the lease being completed was due initially to WNWN being asked to find alternative premises when the whole building was to be converted into residential flats.
The landlord later decided that converting the ground floor for residential use was not cost effective. On this basis WNWN was allowed to remain in situ albeit the rent was increased to £27,500 per annum from £14,250. The increase reflected the fact the rent had been static for 10 years and the whole building and its surrounding area were to be refurbished.
FUNDING.
We have continued to be supported by Greensquare Accord, The Co-Op Community Fund and others including the ongoing funding from the Lottery. Gaining agreement to retain the sale proceeds of the van has provided us with some fourth-year funding from the Lottery. Fundraising never ends and we currently have bids in the process with more to go into the pipeline shortly. Grant funding applications will be targeted towards capital expenditure and specific projects.
PUBLICITY.
Our increasingly effective social media presence has helped to keep us in the public’s eye and this will continue to be area to focus upon. During the year our efforts and those of the volunteers have increased the number of Facebook followers from around 5,000 to 5,700.
12
PARTNERSHIPS.
We have worked on building partnerships with other charities where synergy exists such as with Doorway which offers support for the homeless. We have also worked with local and county councils and social services departments, housing associations and domestic abuse refuges to provide support for those in most need using our successful Fresh Start scheme. We have continued to offer volunteering opportunities to local people and to work with the Building Bridges Programme which seeks volunteering placements for those they support. Other forms of collaboration are always being sought and where these are viable, they will be actively pursued.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WASTE NOT WANT NOT LIMITED
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 October 2022, which are set out on pages 10 to 20.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees 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 charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent 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.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles
-
of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

WASTE NOT WANT NOT LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022
1. Charity status
The charity is a charity limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £Nil towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.
2. Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
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) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Basis of preparation
Waste Not Want Not Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement
The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
Transition to FRS 102
In preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting polices required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP 102 a restatement of comparative items was required. No restatements are required as a result of the transition to FRS 102.
19
Income and endowments
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
20
WASTE NOT WANT NOT LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022
Donations
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Investment income
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’ meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially 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 to charitable purposes.
21
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
22
WASTE NOT WANT NOT LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if they do not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Financial instruments
Classification
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.
23
WASTE NOT WANT NOT LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022
Recognition and measurement
All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.
Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
