FinAncio1 review
FinAncihl position
The Charity is committed to continually reviewing the effi¢ien¢y and effectiveness of scrvi¢es being delivered and to
discontinue any service which can no longer be delivered in on efficient and ¢ffe¢iive manner. However. the Charity
continues to connect wilh current and polenliaS clients and other stakeholders to best understand needs and to respond by
developing new proje¢ls to meet those n¢ed5. Trustees regularly r¢view and amend the Financial Regulaiions and will
continue to ensure good governance.
Investmenl income ari5C5 from capital and interest-bearing deposit accounts as well as from inve5tmenl propertie5 which
have been purchased. Inlercsl received on our reserves has increased due lo Ihe present market position and is dependenl
on changes to interest rat¢s. The Charity's Trustees will seek to use its reserves appropriately whi15t still reducing our risk
profile in the future where prudence and careful consideration juslify it, in¢luding th¢ developmenl of joinl ventures and
the purchose of addiiion&l capital assels which might gcnerhie unr¢stri¢ied income.

FIDancl41 review
Reserves po]i¢y
The Executive acting 3s Trustees have reviewed the Charity's needs for reserves in line with the guidan¢e issues by the
Charity Commission have agreed ihai finan¢ial r¢seTves (the "Emergency Operating Re5ervc"
EOR) should be held
for ihe following PUTposes'.
Income from statutory bodies is from a 'call off contract. Thls inevitably presents cash- flow issues and income
from Ihesc sources will need to be carefully monitored to ensure it does not result in the Charity experiencing
serious liquidity issues in th¢ futu￿. In addition. the Charity is conscious of reducin8 local authority budgcts and
a Squee￿ on fvnding for adult social ¢are. This has resulted in a considernble loss of incomc over a number of
years, and we predict further falls in the future.
Income from our Integrated Care Board contracl with the Suicide Prevention Project. has not increased in real
ternis for more Ihan six years - Ihey are ihereforc worth considerably less and yet demand of the services has
considerably increased over the same period and continues Io Teach record levels.
The Charity receive5 renlal and housing benefil premium from the local authority for its 27 housing units which
are occupied by p¢ople with mental health issues. Due to the inevit3ble fluctuation of occupancy the Charity
must retain funds to bridge the payment of oper•ting costs at times when rent incorne is not forthcoming due to
interim voids.
We re¢eive'ad ho¢, donations and Struclurcd grant aid from charitable trusis including Darlington Education Trust,
County Durham Community Foundation. and others. In addition, we receive donation5 and the results of fund-
raising opportunities, but these payments ar¢ irregular in rate. Reserves are nceded to 5rn00th out this flu¢lualion.
Some income is generaled for'charged for, services including charging serrfice users for attending projects. from
Iheit P¢Tsonal social ¢ar¢ or individual 5ervirc contracts.
The Charity also generates some limited income from a variety of other sources including investments and a
generated surplus al Ihc year-end.
The Charity requires protection against and the ability to ¢ontinue operating despite damaging events or
unforeseen ¢ir¢umslances whi¢h are outside the scope of thc nonnal budgeiing proce55. This might •lso include
damaged property that cannoi be used.
The iargcl level for the EOR has been set al 3 months operating costs - a sum of approximately £218,000 plus
£86.000 spe¢ifirally set aside lo cover redundancy obligations on a forced ck)sure basis is £304,000.
Totsl reserves held 8131 March 2024 are £798,187 of which £34,171 are held for restricled purposes, the balance relates
lo unrestricted reserves, which consists of general and designatcd:
GenerAI Reserves
Is held lo sustain operalions during periods when there is an unanlicipated shortfall in income resources or Io ¢OV¢T
unanlicipated si8nifi¢ant cxpenditure, Ihe general reserve as al 31 March 2024 is £764,016 whi¢h sufficiently Covers the
EOR.
Although the gener81 reserves currently stand ai £764,016. 8 proportion of this relates lo fixed assets. The nel book valuc
of fixed assets as al 31 March 2024 15 £688.734 whi¢h would not be easily convertible into cash in thc short lerni, however
current levels of cash held at 31 M￿h 2024 is £332.073 which would cov¢r the EOR.
Dtsllnaled Reserves
£350,876 is held in a designated reserve to cover projeths cosls outside the ¢urrcnl operating budget and l or oulside the
urrent financial year and consists of lh¢ following:
Fixed assets held for charity use:
St Hilda's Hall nel book value is £245,000 and is to be used operationally and its disposal would adversely
impaci on the charity's ability to deliver ils aims. All fu￿re deprccialion I revaluation will be allocated
against this reserve. A further £IO.000 has been reserved to cover ongoing refurbishmeni and maintenance.
A capital grant was received for the purchase of computer equipment. the net ix)ok value of these assets is
£1.592. All deprecialion will bc allocated against this Teserve.

Our responsibilitie$ for the *udit of the fin#ntial stal¢ments
Our objectives are to obta7n reasonable assurance about whether th¢ financial statements as a whole are free from matcrial
misstatemeni, whether due to fraud or error. and lo issu¢ a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assuran¢¢ is a high level of assurance, but is not a guaranlce ihal an audil conducted in accordance with ISAS
(UK) will always detect a malerial misstatement when it exists. Misslat¢ment5 can arise from fraud or error and arc
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
dectsions of users iaken on the basis of these financial statements.
The exlent to whi¢h our proccdurcs are capable of detccting i￿¢gUIanflCs, including fraud is detsiled below:
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misststement in respect of irre8ul8rities. including frhud
and nO￿￿Ompliance with laws and regulations. was as follows:
the engagernenl partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence.
capabilities and skills to idcnlify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations:
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other
management. and from our commercial knowledge and experience of ihe sectors in which the company
operates;
we focused on specifi¢ laws and regulations whi¢h we ¢onsider¢d may hav¢ 8 dir¢¢l maieriol effect on Ihc
financial siatcmenls or ihe operations of the CA)mpany, including the Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011,
tlxation legislaiion, dala protection compliance, anti-bribery, employment and hcalih and safety legislation.
we assessed th¢ extent of ¢ompliance with the laws and regulalions identified above through making cnquirics
of managemenl and insp¢eling legal ¢orre5ponden¢e' and
identified laws and regulations were ¢ommunicaled within the audit leam regularly and the team remained alert
to instances of non-compliance throughout the audil.
These procedures did nol identify any potentially material actual or suspected non-compliance.
We assessed the SUS¢¢Plibility of the Company's finan¢ial statements lo material misstal¢m¢nt. includin8 obiaining an
understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
making enquiries of management as lo where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledg¢
of actual. suspected and allcged fraud;
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and
regulations.
To address the risk of fraud ihrough management bias and override of controls, we:
perfornied analy.tical PToc￿urcs to idenlify any unusual or uneX￿Cted relationships.
reviewed material journal entries to idenlify unusual transactions or postin8 by unusual users;
assessed whether judgements and assumption5 made in deleminin8 the accounting emimates were indicative of
potenlial bias;
inv¢stl8ated the rhlionale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irTe8ularities and non-¢omplian¢e with laws ind regulations. we designed procedures which
incliidcd, bul were not limited to..
agT¢¢ing financial statemeni disclosures to underlying supporting docurnentation;
reading the Minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
enquiring of man?gern¢nt a5 to actual and potential liligation and claims;
reviewing correspondence with HMRC ond the company's legal advisors.
Owing to the inherent limilalions of an audit. there is an unavoidable risk that we may not hav¢ d¢i¢¢ted some material
misstatements in the financial statements, ¢ven though we have properly planned and perfornied our audil in accordance
with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-rJ)mpliance with laws and regulations is from ihe events
and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limiied procedure5 required by auditing
standards would identify it.
In addition, as with any audit. there remains a higher risk of non-deteclion of fraud. as these may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations. or the override of inlernal controls. Our audit procedures are designed
lo delect malerial misstatement. We are not Tesponsible for preventing non-cornpliance of fraud and cannot b¢ expected
to detect non-compliance with Ill laws & regulalions.
