The Lighthouse Foundation

Trustees’ Annual Report (continueg) Year ended 31 December 2021

Objectives and activities

The Trustees must apply the income of the charity in furthering the following objects ("the objects"):

The objects of The Lighthouse Foundation are to offer rehabilitation and educational detached work in schools and the local community.

The Lighthouse Life Centre is a residential rehabilitation centre for recovering drug users. This offers a support structure to the clients and their families through mentoring and training in all aspects of an individual's life.

The educational aspect of the foundation is to raise the awareness of the many dangers surrounding a life of substance misuse and abuse. This is achieved through a positive and effective detached work within the local community ie schools, voluntary groups and other organisations with the use of many multi functional facilities.

INVESTMENT POLICY

The Trustees have the power to invest in such assets as they see fit subject nevertheless to such conditions and consents as may for the time being be imposed or required by law. Surplus funds are invested with various institutions.

RESERVES POLICY

The Charity carries out a variety of both long term and short term projects. The Trustees have examined the requirement for free reserves, which are those unrestricted funds not invested in fixed assets, designated for specific purposes or otherwise committed. The Trustees consider that currently, given the nature of our work, this should be approximately £60,000, which gives flexibility to cover short term timing differences for grant claims and adequate working capital for our core costs. However the Trustees keep this under regular review as circumstances change. The free cash reserves at 31 December 2021 include a general reserve of £22,667.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Trustees actively review the major risks which the Charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining our free reserves at the levels stated above, combined with our annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which we face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

, The Lighthouse Foundation Trustees’ Annual Report (continued) Year ended 31 December 2021

Achievements and performance

The charity has enjoyed another good year due to the enthusiasm, commitment, hard work & motivation of our staff team, trustees & volunteers.

During 2021, we have supported 15 men residentially on our "apprenticeship for life" program & seven residents have moved on & are now living independently.

The most fulfilling part of our work is seeing men who are turning their lives around, are now free from addiction & are fulfilling their potential.

The charity financers have performed reasonably well. Our "friends of lighthouse" scheme has had a bit of a drop off this year, we believe this is because of covid, but we are hoping to promote this during 2022.

Residents and staff had two great residential weeks away in mid-wales in June and November, these are always great weeks of, fellowship, fishing, walking and group meetings. These were paid for from kind donations to the charity.

One of our staff team retired in February this year after 20 years faithful service to our charity, we marked his retirement with a surprise tea.

We upgraded all our policies & procedures to comply with current regulations this was done in partnership with a supported housing specialist. We also purchased a media package to support our residents as part of their recovery program.

Counselling provision from a certified counsellor continues to be a valuable asset for our residents & staff.

We would like to express thanks to all our partners for their prayers, goodwill, and financial support and special thanks to our volunteers who have generously given their time and skills. We would also like to thank the Foundry Church for their continued support and input throughout the year.

Financial review

The charity finances have performed reasonably well, but we have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Some of our staff have been on furlough for part of the year & with thanks to the Government job retention scheme we have managed to retain all of the staff team.

We plan to make several grant applications during 2022 to help us with the day to day running costs of the charity.

Plans for future periods

We plan to upgrade all communal areas, bathrooms & lounges during the next 12 months.

We have submitted several grant applications to cover salary costs & for refurbishment of communal leisure room, to include new pool table & Table tennis table & Computer equipment.

We have formed good relationships with several partner agencies & we are looking to expand & build on them during 2022.

The Lighthouse Foundation Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 December 2021

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is 71 Lugsdale Road, Widnes, Cheshire, WA8 6BP.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements 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 Charities Act 2011.

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.

Going concern

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

Disclosure exemptions

The entity satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. As such, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available under paragraph 1.12 of FRS 102: (a) No cash flow statement has been presented for the company. (b) Disclosures in respect of financial instruments have not been presented.

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.

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.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are 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:

Resources expended

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

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

The Lighthouse Foundation

Notes to the Financial Statements (continueg)

Year ended 31 December 2021

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: Building Improvements - 25% reducing balance Motor Vehicles - 25% reducing balance Equipment - 25% 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.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.

Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised asa liability.

Financial instruments

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.
