Page 2 **Health Action Trustees Annual Report** ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** We acknowledge PCC Commissioning Kent for funding our Domestic Violence Outreach Programme for men this year. The programme has successfully reached a previously underrepresented demographic of BAME men. Health Action appreciates the support in making a positive impact. For providing financial support to our Hidden Truth initiative, we would also like to extend our deepest gratitude to the Colyer-Fergusson Charitable Trust. Without the financial support of Action for Race Equality (ARE), we would not be able to carry out our efforts to raise awareness about the Windrush compensation scheme. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the entire ARE team. Our primary goal is to meet the needs of our service users and make decisions that are advantageous to the community as a whole. We are making substantial efforts to enhance the health and welfare of the community, as the cost-of-living issue is exacerbating health inequities among our target group. We are grateful to our benefactors for allowing us to continue providing services during these difficult times. We would also like to extend our appreciation to the members of the BAME communities in Medway, as well as the leaders of faith in the community, who have welcomed us with open arms and provided us with encouragement and support. We could not have done this without their steadfast support. And finally, a heartfelt thank you to all of our trustees, partners and volunteers who are responsible for making our work possible. We would like to express our appreciation for your support and look forward to contributing to the advancement of society together. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** The Statement Of Financial Activities shows an income from the period of £68,644 (2023 - £15,366) and total expenditure of £77,406 (2023 - £44,326) leaving a net deficit for the year of £8,762 (2023 - £28,960). The net assets of the charity as at 30 September 2024 was £34,600 (2023 - £43,362). It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** The organisation is charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 10th April 2003 and it is a registered as a charity. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association dated 10th April 2003, as amended by special resolution dated 11th November 2003. The Articles and Memorandum of Association established the objects and powers of the charitable company. The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Investment income This is included in the accounts when receivable. Gains/(losses) on This includes any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value revaluation of fixed at the end of the year. assets Gains/(losses) on This includes any gain or loss on the sale of investments. investment assets Page 8 **Health Action** ## **Notes to the Accounts** **Expenditure** Recognition of Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis. Expenditure includes any VAT which expenditure cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. Expenditure on These comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income, fundraising raising funds trading costs and investment management costs. Expenditure on These comprise the costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and charitable activities services in the furtherance of its objects, including the making of grants and governance costs. Grants payable All grant expenditure is accounted for on an actual paid basis plus an accrual for grants that have been approved by the trustees at the end of the year but not yet paid. - Governance costs These include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including any audit/independent examination fees, costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity, together with a share of other administration costs. Other expenditure These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity. ## **Taxation** The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. ## **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life: Fixtures, fittings & 25% on written down value equipment ## **Freehold investment property** Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. ## **Stocks** Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market. ## **Trade and other 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. ## **Cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management. Page 9 **Health Action** ## **Notes to the Accounts** ## **Trade and other creditors** Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions 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 and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. ## **Research and development** Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. ## **Foreign currencies** Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred. All exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure. ## **Leased assets** Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease. Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases. Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis. ## **Pension costs** The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds. ## **Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services** All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity. Page 10 **Health Action Notes to the Accounts** 2 **Company status** The company is a private company limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital. ## 3 **Statement of Financial Activities - prior year** |**Income and endowments from:**
