Cawthorne Children's Centre

Trustees’ Report for the Year Ended 31 January 2023

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 January 2023. The trustees 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 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and activities

The principal objective of Cawthorne Childrens' Centre is to enhance the education and development of pre-school age children. The aims of the charity are:

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

During the period the Centre was successful in continuing to enhance the development and education of children by encouraging parents and carers to understand and provide for the needs of their children through community groups. The Centre was rated as outstanding by Ofsted in March 2017.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Cawthorne Children's Centre had an excess of expenditure over income of £22,257 (2022 expenditure over income: £40,122) and had unrestricted funds carried forward as at 31 January 2023 of £47,873 (2022: £59,735) and restricted funds carried forward of £72,855 (2022: £83,250).

All unrestricted reserves of the Charity are used for the purposes of achieving the Charity's objectives and aims. The restricted reserves are used for capital expenditure and will be utilised by the depreciation of the long leasehold.

The current cost of living crisis is without precedent. This follows the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic and more recently the war in Ukraine. The shocks to the UK economy include inflationary pressures and associated cost increases for Cawthorne Childrens Centre for energy, food and other resources. This has had a very significant impact on the charity, particularly as a proportion of Cawthorne Children's Centre income is from EYFS funding from the Government which cannot be influenced. The recent change of the Chair of Trustees and Centre Managers has ushered in a review of operational matters. Within that context the Trustees and the Centre Management have put in place measures to ensure the viable operational management of Cawthorne Children's Centre, including more regular meetings, detailed forecasts and analysis of expenditure. Cawthorne Children's Centre is also reviewing and enhancing its fundraising activities and applying for grants, where appropriate.

Cawthorne Children's Centre is popular as ever, with numerous enquiries and a waiting list, which demonstrates the strength of the business. However, base costs are increasing which cannot always be fully passed on through price increases as Cawthorne Children's Centre needs to remain competitive in the market place. The Trustees and the Centre Management will continue to take measures to ensure Cawthorne Children's Centre's financial security, however as accounts are required to be drawn up on a going concern basis which looks ahead at least 12 months from the date of signing, it is not possible to predict whether Cawthorne Children's Centre will remain a going concern for the next 12 months. There is therefore a fundamental uncertainty as to the going concern basis of preparing the accounts.

  1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 January 2023

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention.

Income and debtors

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.

A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met. Where a grant does not specify performance conditions it is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable. A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised asa liability.

During the period the company was in receipt of government support in the form of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme grants and the Local Authority Discretionary Grants Fund.

Expenditure and liabilities

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Long leasehold - Over the life of the lease straight line Plant and machinery - 25% oncost straight line and 15% on reducing balance

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Going concern

The Trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate, i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The Trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements.

The current cost of living crisis is without precedent. This follows the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic and more recently the war in Ukraine. The shocks to the UK economy include inflationary pressures and associated cost increases for Cawthorne Childrens Centre for energy, food and other resources. This has had a very significant impact on the charity, particularly as a proportion of Cawthorne Children's Centre income is from EYFS funding from the Government which cannot be influenced.
