Bishop Auckland Community Partnership

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)

Year Ended 31 December 2022

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purposes of company law, present their report and the unaudited accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Objectives and Activities

Summary of the main objects

The objects of the charity are to identify and respond to social and community needs in Bishop Auckland.

Summary of the main activities undertaken in relation to those objects In pursuit of these objects, the Partnership owns and operates the Four Clocks Community Resource Centre, which is Bishop Auckland's premier advice facility, being the headquarters for the Partnership. It is a regular venue for Citizens Advice Bureau, Princes Trust and the Time For You Tea Room, as well as for the support sessions run by NHS Speech Therapy, and other Charities. The Partnership leases supported office space, hires out meeting rooms, and provides catering and equipment for meetings. It It employs 5 part-time staff, (equivalent of 3 full-time posts), and they support community groups, offering advice and training, as well as a venue for meetings. The Partnership acts as a sounding board for the community it serves, and works in partnership with other groups to meet its needs. It continues to run a Family Contact Centre Project, Cultivate 4 Life Project, Time 4 Toddlers Project, and the Four Clocks Club and Memory Club. During 2022 the Toddler Project continued, and a new Breastfeeding Support Group began. Members and staff serve upon local groups, adding the resources of the Partnership to their social and community work, as well a promoting the work of the Partnership itself. There is a considerable list of charities and other organisations who hire meeting rooms in the Centre.

Achievements and Performance

Centre Management

The use of the centre for business and conference meetings continued to be satisfactory prior to lockdown in March 2020. Since reopening, the Centre is now back to normal, with room bookings gradually increasing. Footfall is also gradually increasing. The Time For You Tea Room continues to have a significant effect on footfall during the day when it has been able to open during the year.

There were no changes in the tenancy arrangements during the year. Two of our main meeting rooms, Braithwaite and Ferens had been hired on a full-time basis by UTraining, but they left us in November 2021. This enabled the Centre to use the rooms for hourly hire, though we are still looking for a new tenant to provide us with regular income. The other main meeting rooms are the Wesley Room, Anderson Room, and Brougham Place. The Armstrong Room is now rented full-time by the Princes Trust. We also continue to welcome the NHS Speech Therapy Group who hire a small room full-time and another one for 2 days per week. The Centre continues its association with Auckland Railway Group, and Bishop Auckland Alcohol Support Service, the latter meeting weekly in the Centre.

Staffing

Staffing changes in 2022 saw the arrival of Jeffrey Bannister as our new Centre Manager in January. The staffing at the end of 2022 for The Four Clocks Project consisted of a Manager (24 hours pw), 1 Lead Receptionist, working 16 hours p.w. over 3 days, 1 Premises Supervisor (30 hours pw), and a Keyholder/Cleaner/Monday morning Receptionist working 16 hours p.w. These staffing levels continue to see a greater involvement by the Trustees, and each is responsible for overseeing various aspects of the Partnership activities. The Family Contact Centre Project employs a part-time Co-ordinator for 20 hours per month and is supported by a pool of 8 volunteers. Joanne Walton continues in the role of Co-ordinator. The Cultivate 4 Life Project continues to operate from the Woodhouse Close Allotments. The volunteers kept the project going, now under the watchful eye of Nigel Bryson, until we can obtain funding for a Co-ordinator.

The Friday Club continue to meet weekly on a Friday afternoon. Its aim is to reduce loneliness and isolation among older people. This project was firstly organised by volunteers, but continued funding had enabled it to flourish, lead by its Co-ordinator Pauline Roe, until Covid-19 closure. She then retired in May 2021. The Club had seen its expansion with the addition of a Memory Club meeting every fortnight, for people suffering with Alzheimers and Dementia along with their carers. The Friday Club and the Memory Club are now run by volunteers.

The Time 4 Toddlers Project also closed during lockdown, and only restarted in December 2021, again run by a volunteer . A new Project started in 2022, the Breastfeeding Support Group, also run by volunteer who is NHS trained. They meet every Thursday morning.

Training

The Four Clocks Centre continues to provide a venue for training to community and voluntary groups by various agencies and organisations. The Partnership's training programme for its own staff continues as and when appropriate. During the year staff have undertaken some First Aid training. The Centre and its staff continue to offer help to young people who need training and advice, and we have taken a number of work placements over the year, from Princes Trust and local schools.

The Family Contact Centre

This Project continues to be part of the Partnership's portfolio. Funding continues to be received, this year from regional funders, which enabled us to continue with a part-time co-ordinator for 20 hours per month. In 2022 we renewed our 3-year accreditation with the National Association of Child Contact Centres, which involved a lot of extra work by Joanne our Co-ordinator. The Project continues to be delivered in the Bishop Auckland Methodist Church Hall, Cockton Hill.

Time For You Tea Rooms

This facility opened in September 2008, and continues to be a great asset to the Centre. Run by Claire Spindley and her Mother, they have built up a credible clientele and are highly thought of in the Town. Again this was badly affected by the pandemic, but numbers are now back to normal.

Cultivate 4 Life Project.

As stated above, this project developed from the Venture Out Project into a life of its own as Cultivate 4 Life, and was going from strength to strength, including winning environmental awards at County level in the past, and again in 2019. Links with other service providers were established, but following Julie's sad death in early 2019, the project has been kept alive by the volunteers, overseen now by Nigel Bryson. It's focus in 2022 has been a shift to community gardening. It is also involved with the Bishop Auckland & Coundon in Bloom Project.

Partnership working

Bishop Auckland Community Partnership continues to work closely with other community groups. Trustees are also involved in Bishop Auckland/Shildon AAP meetings.

The Partnership has continued to work with the CAB to support the sessions held in the Centre for clients, along with other groups meeting in the Centre.

Financial Review

Reserves Policy

The aim of the Trustees is to retain unrestricted reserves equivalent to 3 months total costs. At current activity levels, this is equal to approximately £25,000. This figure was not achieved in 2022 due to increasing running costs and some expensive repairs. The Trustees were actively pursuing further fund raising during the year to maintain this reasonable level of reserves. Unrestricted reserves at 31 December 2022 were £7,038.

Investment Policy

Monies not required for immediate use are placed in a High(er) Interest Business Account. There are no other investments.

Risk Management

The Trustees have examined the major strategic, business, and operational risks during 2022 and have updated their risk management policy.

Structure, Governance and Management

Nature of the governing document

Bishop Auckland Community Partnership was incorporated as a Company Limited by Guarantee on 17th December 2002. The governing documents are the memorandum and articles of association of the company. The company was registered as a charity on 30th May 2003, registered charity number 1097681, and charitable activities were transferred from the unincorporated partnership on 30th June 2003.

Organisational Structure

The Trustees who have served during the period and since the period end are set out on page 3. Trustees are appointed by the Board of Trustees and are subject to retirement by rotation annually, and they may put themselves forward for re-appointment. Managing Trustees form the Management Committee, which is responsible for formally monitoring and reviewing progress, and for making decisions on major policy changes and new initiatives. A small team of part-time workers carry out the day-to-day tasks of of the Partnership's projects, under the supervision of the Trustees.

Year Ended 31 December 2022

The methods adopted for the recruitment and appointment of Trustees

The Partnership draws its Trustees from its membership, which is open to anyone over 18 years of age, including volunteers, and members of societies, local authorities, and unincorporated associations, which support the objects of the Partnership. Membership is generally by invitation of the Trustees or a direct approach from an individual to join as a member. The number of Trustees is never less than three, but there is no maximum. Trustees are appointed either at the Annual General Meeting or by by ordinary resolution. One third of Trustees retire on a rota at each Annual General Meeting, and can be re-appointed at that meeting if willing to act.

All Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefit from the charity. No expenses were reclaimed from the charity during the year.

Public Benefit

Our main activities and who we help are described elsewhere in this report. All our charitable activities are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit. The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit throughout the year when deciding on the activities of the charity.

Year Ended 31 December 2022

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Bishop Auckland Community Partnership ('the charity') for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

As the 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’).

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 charity’s accounts as 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 charity 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.

Bishop Auckland Community Partnership

Notes to the Accounts

Year Ended 31 December 2022

1. General Information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 154a Newgate Street, Bishop Auckland, Co Durham, DL14 7EH.

2. Statement of Compliance

These accounts have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

The entity is a Public Benefit Entity.

Going Concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There are no significant estimates and judgements affecting the financial statements.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Income

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

3. Accounting Policies (continued)

Income (continued)

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible Assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. The costs of minor additions or those costing below £100 are not capitalised.

Bishop Auckland Community Partnership

Notes to the Accounts (continued)

Year Ended 31 December 2022

3. Accounting Policies (continued)

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Freehold Property - 2% straight line Fixtures and Fittings - 15% reducing balance

Impairment of Fixed Assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Debtors

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

Accrued income and tax recoverable is included at the best estimate of the amounts receivable at the balance sheet date.

Cash at Bank and in Hand

Cash at bank and cash 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.

Financial Instruments

The charity only has financial assets and 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.

Creditors

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Taxation

The company 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 company 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.
