TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

Risk review

The trustees have continued to assess the major risks that the charity could potentially be exposed to, particularly in relation to operations and the financial management of the charity. Trustees have developed a collective understanding of risk and continue to amend their risk register to reflect current and potential risks for the Foundation. The trustees are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the associated risks.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The objects for which it is established are:

(a) To advance education amongst the public in matters pertaining to credit unions and their potential in relieving poverty and need, and to provide education and training in the knowledge and skills pertinent to the establishment and management of credit unions;

(b) To relieve poverty and need amongst communities in the United Kingdom and throughout the World which are in need of such relief, by advising needy persons within those communities how to establish and manage credit unions.

(c) To relieve poverty by providing grants, items, support and other services to credit unions to allow them to extend their services to individuals in need and/or charities, or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty

In furtherance of the above objectives, the foundation shall have the following powers:

(a) To publish books, pamphlets, reports, leaflets, journals, films and instructional matter;

(b) To commission and undertake and publish the useful results of research, and to run lectures, seminars, conferences and courses;

(c) To provide financial, technical and educational assistance in connection with projects and purposes which will further the objects of the Foundation;

(d) To receive donations, endowments, sponsorship fees, subscriptions and legacies from persons desiring to promote the Foundation's objects or any of them and to hold funds in trust for same;

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general information on public benefit when reviewing the Foundation's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

The Foundation regularly reviews its Trustee Board Policy Manual, monitors performance against it and introduces changes where necessary.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Foundation activities were able to resume in-person, but some activity remained on-line

The seventh year of the CU Futures programme concluded in March 2023 and the eighth programme was launched. The participants have been meeting in person for most of their activities. The graduation ceremony for year seven was held at the ABCUL Annual Conference in March 2023. The programme has now graduated 72 individuals across 7 years and has 9 more preparing to graduate at the Annual Conference in March 2024.

The DEEU programme took place in September 2023 in Edinburgh. The event was attended by 31 people and the programme location, date and details have already been confirmed for the 2024 programme, to which we are already receiving interest in from the sector.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Main funding sources and expenditure

Peach State Credit Union continued their generous donation towards the CU Futures programme for which £18,975 was received during the year along with other donations from credit unions amounting to £17,650. The DEEU event held in September 2023 generated a surplus of £9,747 after all costs were covered and a contribution made towards overheads of £3,016.

Reserves policy

The trustees recognise the need for the charity to establish and maintain reserves to enable it to carry out its charitable objectives in the event of unforeseeable matters arising, Where funds are generated for specific purposes, they are held as restricted funds, as detailed in notes 12. Where funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees, they are held in unrestricted funds. At the balance sheet date there were unrestricted funds of £ 45,332.

In addition to the basic categories of restricted and unrestricted funds, the trustees can designate unrestricted funds to be used for a specific purpose. Such designated funds remain unrestricted as the trustees retain the right to release back to general unrestricted funds as needed. During the year, we designated 20% of the net income to general funds increasing the fund to £7,687 to act as a buffer against financial or economic difficulties, as detailed in the Trustee Board Policy Manual (4.4.13). 2 further designated funds were created at the year-end for a Communication Plan (£7,000) and Business Development (£8,000). These funds are expected to be utilised in the current financial year.

Future developments

Plans are in place for the DEEU programme will be rebranded DE Europe for the 2024 programme to be hosted in Edinburgh, funded by fees paid directly by credit unions and individuals, with some funds already raised for a scholarship programme. The CU Futures programme will continue for an nineth intake, funded through donations from credit unions and individuals. Graduates from the eighth programme will celebrate at a ceremony in March 2024. Trustees are also exploring the development of a Leadership and Management School and funding and partnership opportunities are being examined.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also directors of The Credit Union Foundation for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 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:

(A company limited by guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions, 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 and the provisions of the charity’s constitution. 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.

DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO INDEPENDENT EXAMINER

Insofar as each of the trustees of the charity at the date of approval of this report is aware there is no relevant financial information (information needed by the charity’s independent examiner in connection with preparing their report) of which the charity’s independent examiner is unaware. Each trustee has taken all of the steps that he/she should have taken as a trustee in order to make himself/herself aware of any relevant information and to establish that the charity’s independent examiner is aware of that information.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER

Following a tender process conducted during the year, Crowe U.K. LLP were appointed as independent examiner to the charity.

Approved by order of the members of the board of Trustees on 21 March 2024 and signed on their behalf by:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Credit Union Foundation ('the Company')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 September 2023.

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

As the Trustees of the Company (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Company's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent Examiner's Statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

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

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].

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

This report is made solely to the Company's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Company's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

1. General information

The Company is a company limited by guarentee, incorporated in England with registered number 04283557. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the Company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarentee is limited to £1 per member of the Company.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The Credit Union Foundation 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.

2.2 Income

All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Donated services or facilities are recognised when the Company has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the Company of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time of the Friends is not recognised and refer to the Trustees' report for more information about their contribution.

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the Company which is the amount the Company would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.3 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Company to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

2.4 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

2.5 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.6 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2.7 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.8 Financial instruments

The Company 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.

2.9 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 Company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

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 Company for particular purposes. The costs 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.
