**Report of the Chair of the Board For the year ended 31 August 2022**
I am delighted to share the Trustees’ report and financial statements for the year 1 September 2021 to 31 August 2022, a year dominated by the ending of many of the emergency measures brought about in reaction to the covid19 pandemic.
These changes were a mixed bag for people living in Southeast London. It was heartening to see new partnerships and new ways of working being solidified. These changes meant we did not see the need to reopen our nightshelter. However, we did see pressures resulting from the end of the protections and additional support that had been brought in during the pandemic.
At the 999 Club we have taken a collaborative approach in responding to these pressures. We participated in Lewisham’s “Borough of Culture” activities, are one of twelve signatories to Goldsmith University’s “Civic University Agreement” and are delighted to have hosted a range of charities and services from our base in Deptford.
These services are increasingly designed with the people that access those services. People design our services through a range of mechanisms; from a Client Committee, to surveys, to more informal group and 1:1 conversations. This improves our services and builds the skills and confidence of those who contribute. We will broaden this work in the year ahead.
I would like to thank the Mayor of Lewisham, Damien Egan for choosing the 999 Club to be his charity of the year for the fourth year running, and for all the support he has provided, not least raising vitally needed funds.
I am very grateful all the people, trusts and companies that have supported 999 Club in the past year. Thank you to our funders for your generosity and support during this time. Our work would not be possible without you.
999 Club’s work is made possible by a committed group of over 50 volunteers. This diverse group of people, many of whom have personal experience of homelessness, contribute so much to their local community, helping people to help themselves escape from homelessness. Thank you for your generosity and good humour.
As we look forward to 2023, the 999 Club will launch a new service, The Bridge Café, in partnership with South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. The service will operate on weekday evenings, weekends and bank holidays, and will offer a safe space and empowering support to people in Lewisham who feel that they cannot cope. The service is both a vote of confidence in 999 Club’s ability to deliver high quality services and an opportunity to support people so that they do not experience homelessness.
This service will compliment and build on our existing services and our ways of working. We have always been a charity that is rooted in a special part of London, one that works with people that are experiencing trying times and one that brings a sense of community and passion to everything we do.
As we look ahead to 2023, I am confident that we will build on these traditions and our strong foundations, increasing our impact in a sustainable manner.

## Our vision
Our _vision_ is that no one will sleep on the streets in Lewisham
Our _approach_ to achieving our vision is to provide a friendly open door for anyone that is sleeping on the streets or at risk of sleeping on the streets so that we can help people to help themselves escape from homelessness.
We believe that sleeping rough in Lewisham should be rare, fleeting and never repeated. We have three _missions_ :
-If you’re at risk of sleeping on the street, we’ll stop it happening
-If you’re sleeping on the street, we’ll help you to quickly find a home
-If you’ve previously slept on the street, we’ll help you to stay in your new home
## In everything we do, we demonstrate our _values_
## - _Inclusive_ : We are welcoming and supportive.
- _Respectful_ : We respect each other and celebrate diversity so that everyone can give their best
- _Empowering_ : We encourage people to take personal responsibility for making positive changes in their lives by providing opportunities, developing their talents, and helping to build their confidence and self esteem. - _Partnership_ : We recognise the importance of working collaboratively with people who come to the centre to design, deliver and evaluate our services.
- _Inspiring_ : We all inspire one another to discover our purpose and reach our full potential, celebrating our achievements and positive steps forward.
## Governance
The 999 Club, a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity, was formed in 1992. The objects of the charity are governed by the Memorandum and Articles of Association adopted in February 2002.
The Council of Management which equates to the Board of Trustees (and is henceforth referred to as such) is the sole corporate trustee of the Lady Florence Institute whose objects are set out in a separate document. The 999 Club and Lady Florence Trust’s objects are in line with those objects. The accounts of the two organisations are therefore consolidated. As the sole corporate trustee of the Lady Florence Institute, the 999 Club provides administrative support for that charity as well as management of its freehold property and assets.
The Board of the 999 Club, supervise the governance and management of the organisation. Directors who served during the year, or have been subsequently appointed, are shown on page 1.
Appointment to the Board is by nomination by the members after the needs of the Charity are considered by the current Directors. The Board of Directors aims to ensure that the composition of Directors contains individuals with suitable skills and experience to contribute positively to the governance of the Charity. Trustees are given a thorough induction including provision of information provided by the Charity Commission on the role of a trustee. Training is provided on a personalised basis.

**The 999 Club and Lady Florence Trust**
**Trustees’ report For the year ended 31 August 2022**
The organisation has a clear organisational structure with lines of authority and delegation, which are regularly reviewed by the Board. The Board is responsible for setting strategies and policies and for ensuring that these are implemented by the Chief Executive on behalf of the Board.
The Board has responsibility for setting remuneration of the CEO and key management personnel. In doing so it undertakes market testing and benchmarking against other similar sized organisations.
The Board of Trustees confirm they have regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and consider each year how the charity meets the public benefit objectives outlined in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011. They are satisfied that the 999 Club and Lady Florence Trust meets the requirements and conforms to the Act’s definition of a charity meeting all elements of the two key principles.
## Related parties
The 999 Club and Lady Florence Trust is the sole corporate trustee of the Lady Florence Institute (Registered Charity 312816) which holds the freehold of the property at 21 Deptford Broadway and Lady Florence Courtyard. The Lady Florence Institute donated to the 999 Club and Lady Florence Trust this year. This support will continue into the future.
## Policy, planning and risk management
The Board are responsible for the management of the risks faced by the organisation, for safeguarding the assets of the charity and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Board review the organisational risk position, internal control assessment and its compliance with relevant statutory and finance regulations. To evaluate and manage risk a risk register is maintained, which is monitored and reviewed at Board meetings. This process identifies the major risks the organisation faces, the likelihood of occurrence, the significance of the risk and any mitigating controls that are in place and seeks to identify any actions and resources required to manage these risks further.
The Board is satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate our exposure to major risks, both from within the charity and to those related to the external environment over which we have no control.

## Achievements and performance
We provided a high quality service that is valued by the people that use it. 80% of 107 people that gave anonymous feedback during the year rated their experience as .
The Gateway, our day centre was used by around 50 people per day, including 7 per day in our new women only space, “The Sanctuary”.
We supported people to stay in their home or find a new home and to get employment, education or training. Between 1[st] March 2022 and 31[st] August 2022 we supported 97 people to find a permanent home, 87 people to stay in their home and avoid eviction and 113 people to start employment, education, training or volunteering.
Our group activities programme has gone from strength to strength, with two sessions per day, ranging from language lessons to IT workshops to art therapy. One of the most exciting group sessions we ran was in partnership with Trinity Laban. This involved people with experience
We continued to deepen partnerships with other organisations in South East London, working closely with: the London Boroughs of Lewisham and Greenwich, Lewisham Safeguarding Adults Board, Thames Reach, Refuge, Bench Outreach, St Mungo’s, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, Mayday Trust, Change Grow Live, CAB, Clean Slate, Community Connections , Vietnamese Outreach Service , London Street Rescue, Fareshare, Lewisham Migrant Network, Lewisham Law Centre, Goldsmiths University, Brett Grellier Psychological Services and the Albany Theatre.
All our activities are designed and delivered by people that use or have used our service. This is done through several mechanisms including a newly established Client Committee.
Quotes from people that have used our services:
- “You guys are just awesome, perfect and knowledgeable.”
- “All the staff who work here are fantastic. They make you feel welcome.”
- “I’m so happy to see that you are able to get back to supporting the community as you were before.”.
- “Thank you to all of you for your service and dedication in making this happen!”
- “Love 999. One day I hope I can repay you for all you have done for me. The women's room is just the most beautiful room I have ever been in.”
- “Can’t improve”
- “I am very happy with the support I have received”
Comments from the people who are on the Client Committee, regarding their involvement: “I felt empowered.” “There’s a buzz about it.” “Clear thought has been put into the process.” “Keep doing what you're doing. You can tell this place is changing for the better there's a real buzz about the place.”
## Case study - Ella
Ella (not her real name) is a widow, originally from the Ukraine, with settled status in the UK. She first came to us after her previous tenancy had expired and she found herself homeless. As she does not have any family living here or other support networks, she had nowhere to turn. As Ella’s understanding of English is limited, we made phone calls on her behalf and supported her to complete application forms to apply for the benefits to which she is entitled. Much of this was done with the support of online translation. First of all, we helped
Page 5
**The 999 Club and Lady Florence Trust**
**Trustees’ report For the year ended 31 August 2022**
Ella to obtain documents needed to apply for benefits, such as her birth certificate and confirmation of her indefinite leave to remain status. As Ella has just reached pensionable age, she is eligible for local authority accommodation, so we helped her to secure a flat in Lewisham and then to apply for her pension and pension credit, for people who receive a relatively low level of pension.
Once Ella had settled into her flat, we helped her with budgeting for her outgoings and registered her with a GP close to her new home. Ella is no longer using our advice and housing services, but has been attending the English classes that we run twice weekly at the 999 Club, for speakers of other languages.
## Case study - D
"D" has been using the Gateway Centre since lock down ended. He was sleeping rough and not engaging very well with services other than food. Kenny, a support worker at 999 Club, spent a lot of time supporting and engaging with "D". "D" was supported to find a place in an shared house but this broke down due to him not feeling safe and having poor contact from his tenancy sustainment worker. He returned to rough sleeping and we submitted a safeguarding referral form him.
He met with Dave, a coach at 999 Club, and signed up to coaching. "D" started to become more engaged as he built a relationship with Dave and signed up to do volunteer gardening in Thamesmead. At this point he also became involved with Christoph and Coproduction. Dave and Christoph worked together to find ways of empowering "D". Between them, they built up a gardening activity for "D" and he took the lead in developing the green spaces in the project. "D" was at the centre every day and both clients and staff all noticed the marked improvement in "D"s appearance and sense of self-worth. The green spaces look wonderful, and "D" started to really come out of his shell. He took real pride in the gardening he was doing.
There were issues with his “Clearing House” referral. We advocated for "D” and eventually got a face-toface meeting with Clearing House and "D". Following the meeting he has been offered a property which he accepted. It is self-contained and comes with floating support.
## Volunteers
Our work is supported by a team of over 50 dedicated volunteers with backgrounds as diverse as the local population. Many of our volunteers have either used our service in the past or have experienced homelessness. They help to make our services feel safe and welcoming by greeting people that use our services and ensuring that they find the support that they need. We are very grateful to our volunteers and thankful for their amazing contributions.
## Fundraising
999 Club is so grateful to the individuals and organisations that support our work. We are fortunate to work in and with such a generous community. Their donations make our work possible.
We are grateful to Lewisham Council, Peter Stebbings Memorial Charity, Balcombe Charitable Foundation, City Bridge Trust, Garfield Weston Foundation, The Linbury Trust, Lloyds Bank Foundation for England & Wales, National Lottery Awards for All, The National Lottery Community Fund and The Pret Foundation for their support.
We would also like to thank the many smaller charities that have generously supported our work over the past year.

**Trustees’ report For the year ended 31 August 2022**
We are grateful to Hilton, Urban Patchwork, ASDA, Goldsmiths University, Little Faith Beer, Barnet Waddingham, BadgerBadger and all the other companies that support our work through both donations and volunteering.
The 999 Club undertakes fundraising activity through its supporters via fundraising events, individual giving including appeal letters, email and telephone. We do not have face to face (or door to door) fundraising activities. In addition, funds are raised from trusts and foundations and corporate partnerships. The 999 Club is a member of the Fundraising Regulator and adheres to its Code of Fundraising Practice and its associated rulebooks for fundraising activities.
The 999 Club is compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation and only contacts prospective and existing supporters in line with its Privacy Policy and Data Protection Statement. The 999 Club recognises the importance of protecting our vulnerable supporters and follows the guidance issued by the Institute of Fundraising and the Fundraising Regulator on treating donors fairly.
The 999 Club supports its staff and fundraisers who come into contact with supporters in providing high quality customer care, ensuring anyone donating to the charity is in a position to make a free and informed decision. The 999 Club welcomes feedback on its fundraising activities and has a complaint policy which outlines how the charity will react should a complaint be received regarding its fundraising methods. The 999 Club received no complaints during the year.
## Financial review
A significant source of funding has been the Lady Florence Institute which donated in support of the work of the 999 Club. Other financial assistance was given by charitable trusts, corporate supporters and private donors. The results for the year are shown on page 14. In line with 999 Club’s plan to spend the additional resources secured during the pandemic, there was a deficit for the year of £143,568 (deficit in 2021: £132,941). When the deficit is added to the funds brought forward of £3,624,082 this leaves a figure of £3,480,514 for total funds carried forward at 31 August 2022.
## Reserves policy
It is the trustees’ desire to maintain reserves, at a level which equates to 3 – 9 months core costs, working capital and a sinking fund for planned maintenance of our rented properties. At this level the trustees feel comfortable that they can continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. The cash at bank of the charity at 31 August 2022 was £780,286 (2021: £925,857), comfortably exceeding the target amount.
The trustees have created two designated funds: £40,000 to be spent on improving 999 Club’s brand and communications and £160,000 towards a fund for the redevelopment the Lady Florence Hall and associated dwellings on the site.

## Trustees’ responsibilities
The trustees (who are also directors of the 999 Club and Lady Florence Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company 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 charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditor is unaware;
- the trustees have taken all steps that ought to have been taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
The Trustees have taken advantage of the small companies’ regime in preparing the Trustees Annual Report.
By order of the trustees

## **Independent auditors’ report to the members For the year ended 31 August 2022**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of The 999 Club and Lady Florence Trust for the year ended 31 August 2022 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities, the group and charity balance sheets, the consolidated cash flow statement 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 affairs of the group and the parent charitable company as at 31 August 2022 and of the group’s incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
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 group or the parent charitable company'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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Page 10
**The 999 Club and Lady Florence Trust**
**Independent auditors’ report to the members For the year ended 31 August 2022**
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.
## **Other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006**
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Trustees’ Annual Report which includes the Directors’ Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Trustees’ Annual Report which includes the Directors’ 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 group and the parent charitable company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the parent charitable company 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 to take advantage of the small companies exemption in preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the Strategic Report.
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities set out on page 9, the trustees (who are also the directors of the parent charitable company for the purposes 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 the 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 group and the parent charitable company’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 group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Page 11
**The 999 Club and Lady Florence Trust**
**Independent auditors’ report to the members For the year ended 31 August 2022**
## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditors under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with regulations made under that Act.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the group and parent 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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are detailed below.
## Identifying and assessing risks related to irregularities:
We assessed the susceptibility of the group and parent charitable company’s financial statements to material misstatement and how fraud might occur, including through discussions with the trustees, discussions within our audit team planning meeting, updating our record of internal controls and ensuring these controls operated as intended. We evaluated possible incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements. We identified laws and regulations that are of significance in the context of the group and parent charitable company by discussions with trustees and updating our understanding of the sector in which the group and parent charitable company operate.
Laws and regulations of direct significance in the context of the group and parent charitable company include The Companies Act 2006 and guidance issued by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
## Audit response to risks identified:
We considered the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items including a review of financial statement disclosures. We reviewed the parent charitable company’s records of breaches of laws and regulations, minutes of meetings and correspondence with relevant authorities to identify potential material misstatements arising. We discussed the parent charitable company’s policies and procedures for compliance with laws and regulations with members of management responsible for compliance.
During the planning meeting with the audit team, the engagement partner drew attention to the key areas which might involve non-compliance with laws and regulations or fraud. We enquired of management whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations or knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. We addressed the risk of fraud through management override of controls by testing the appropriateness of journal entries and identifying any significant transactions that were unusual or outside the normal course of business. We assessed whether judgements made in making accounting estimates gave rise to a possible indication of management bias. At the completion stage of the audit, the engagement partner’s review included ensuring that the team had approached their work with appropriate professional scepticism and thus the capacity to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud.
Page 12
**The 999 Club and Lady Florence Trust**
**Independent auditors’ report to the members For the year ended 31 August 2022**
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the parent charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the parent charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the parent charitable company and the parent charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 August 2022**
## **1. Accounting policies**
## **1.1 Basis of preparation**
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the ‘Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Second Edition), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
## **1.2 Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure are sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern
## **1.3 Consolidated financial statements**
The Charity has consolidated its wholly owned subsidiary The Lady Florence Institute in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Reporting by Charities’. A separate Statement of Financial Activities, or income and expenditure account, for the Charity itself is not presented because the Charity has taken advantage of the exemptions afforded by the Companies Act 2006.
## **1.4 Company status**
The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the trustees named in the financial statements. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.
## **1.5 Donations and legacies**
All donation income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which it is received unless it is restricted income and has been received specifically in respect of expenditure to be incurred in a future accounting period in which case it is deferred.
## **1.6 Expenditure**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to that category. Where costs cannot be directly allocated to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. Salary costs have been allocated on basis of time spent.
Page 17
## **The 999 Club and Lady Florence Trust**
## **Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 August 2022**
## **1.7 Fundraising costs**
All expenses relating to fundraising and publicity are charged to this heading.
## **1.8 Governance costs**
These costs relate to the governance of the organisation. They include expenses of trustees’ meetings, and audit fees.
## **1.9 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**
Freehold buildings are depreciated at 1% per annum. Deptford extension costs are depreciated over 10 years. Other capitalised refurbishment costs are depreciated over the length of the lease. Furniture, equipment and minibuses are depreciated over 5 to 7 years.
There is a capitalisation limit of £500, below which assets are not capitalised.
## **1.10 Funds**
Restricted funds: These balances represent voluntary income or grants which have been received for the purposes set out in Note 12. The application of these funds is restricted by the expressed wishes of the donor or the terms of the grant.
Unrestricted funds: These balances represent funds that can be used for any of the charity’s purposes. Designated funds: These represent the unrestricted elements of the charities’ freehold property
## **1.11 Pension Scheme**
The charity has arranged a defined contribution pension scheme for members of staff. The assets of this scheme are held separately from those of the charity, being invested with an insurance company. Pension costs charged in the Statement of Financial Activities represent the contributions payable by the charity in the year.
## **1.12 Financial instruments**
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The Charity has selected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
## **1.13 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**
In the application of the Charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
The key estimates concern the useful economic life of fixed assets and the recoverability of debt.
