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 30 June 2022. 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

The charity's objectives are any charitable purpose primarily for, but not limited to, the inhabitants of the town of Worthing and its neighbourhood.

The main activities undertaken to further the charity's purposes for public benefit are the operation of a fundraising shop and the organisation of fundraising events. 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

The charity's main fundraising events include collections throughout December, with an evening Christmas tree collection through residential streets and town centre buckets. The charity also undertakes fundraising events including The Worthing Lions Festival in July and the firework display in November.

The Lions also run a shop. The shop is open 6 days a week 9.30 am to 4.30pm.

Every member, who is able, helps with our events, either behind the scenes or up front. All of their time is given freely.

Financial review

The reserves of the charity are unrestricted reserves. The administration fund is an unrestricted, designated fund. The incoming resources of the administration fund include members' subscriptions and various small donations. Outgoing resources include dues to the District organisation and to Lions Club International Foundation.

Total income of the charity has increased by 35% to £98,189, showing a good recovery from the prior year which was affected by Covid-19. Expenditure has increased by 29% to £74,461 with net income in the year of £23,728 (2021: £14,914). At year end, the general unrestricted reserve amounted to £292,654 (2021: £268,926). This was made up of the following funds, general fund amounting £125,159, the administration fund amounting to £12,765 and the designated fund of £154,730 for the purchase of a property in the future.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is incorporated under the Companies Act 2006. It is a company limited by guarantee. The charity is governed by the Memorandum and Articles incorporated on 3 May 2001.

The charity must have a minimum number of three trustees. At each annual general meeting one-third of the trustees who are subject to retirement by rotation or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, the number nearest to one third shall retire from office, but if there is only one trustee who is subject to retirement by rotation, they shall retire. The trustees to retire by rotation shall be those who have been longest in office since their last appointment or reappointment. No person other than a trustee retiring by rotation shall be appointed or reappointed a trustee at any general meeting, unless they are recommended by the trustees. The trustees may be appointed by ordinary resolution either to fill a vacancy or as an additional trustee.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Worthing Lions Charitable Trust Ltd.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Worthing Lions Charitable Trust Ltd. ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's 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 your 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 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.

The address of the registered office is 85 Church Road, Hove, East Sussex, BN3 2BB. The business address is 115 George V Avenue, Goring-By-Sea, Worthing, West Sussex, BN11 5SA.

The principal activity of the charity during the year was charitable purposes primarily for, but not limited to, the inhabitants of Worthing and its neighbourhood.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is in Pound Sterling (£) and rounding is to the nearest (£).

2. Accounting policies

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Critical accounting 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.

Significant judgements

There are no judgements that management has made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome. There are no key assumptions and other sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Income

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income, any performance related conditions attached have been met or are fully within the control of the charity, the income is considered probable and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 30 June 2022

2. Accounting policies - continued

Income

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

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

Fixtures and fittings - 10% reducing balance Plant and machinery - 25% straight line Motor vehicles - 25% reducing balance Leasehold property - 10% straight line

Taxation

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

2. Accounting policies - continued

Fund accounting

The unrestricted fund is available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and has not been designated for other purposes. The unrestricted, designated "administration fund" is available for use at the discretion of the trustees but has been designated for the administration of the charity, including for the receipt and payment of subscriptions.

Donated goods for resale and donated services

The trustees believe that it is impractical to measure the fair value of goods donated for resale and that the costs of valuation outweigh the benefit to users of the accounts and the charity of this information. Therefore, the donated goods are recognised on sale.

The contribution of unpaid general volunteers cannot be measured reliably. Therefore, the contribution of general volunteers is not included as income in the financial statements.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
