Independent Examiner's Report on the Accounts

Report to the trustees and members of Splash! For Schools and Communities (Charity number 1106290) on the accounts for the year ended 31st August 2021.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act), and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to

examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Charities Act)
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act); and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner's statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

Independent examiner's statement

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act); and
accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

OBJECTS

The Objects of the Splash Trust are:

To advance and support the Christian faith; and
To advance and support education and welfare among children, young people and families in West Sussex

ACTIVITIES REPORT: IMPLEMENTATION OF THE OBJECTS & ACHIEVEMENTS

COVID-19 continues to have a significant impact on the way we deliver support to schools, churches and the local community in the rural area of central West Sussex, roughly bounded by Petworth, Billingshurst, Storrington and Steyning. Government rules and guidance restricted our ability to visit schools in person or to run community events until July. We were delighted to be able to deliver a summer holiday club in person, engaging with over 80 children, young people and their families from across our region. This allowed us to implement our aims of advancing and supporting the Christian faith and supporting education and welfare among children, young people and families in West Sussex.

COVID-19 impact

Our work has been severely affected by the restrictions put in place in order to manage this pandemic. With schools closed to visitors and community gathering severely restricted, we have been unable to carry out the work we would normally do in the way we would normally deliver it. We continue to support our community online where we can, with the development of resources on our website for schools, churches and other community groups to access and use, including the loan of physical resources where appropriate.

Government support to furlough staff who were unable to work has provided a small amount of funding, although income has been affected due to a significant reduction in donations.

SCHOOLS

Our work in schools has focussed on providing Christian assemblies which offer opportunities for pupils to participate in regular acts of collective worship which are relevant and age appropriate. We have produced 6 online assemblies over the course of the year for primary schools, which have been gratefully received and shared with a number of schools and organisations which are not normally part of our visiting schedule. The feedback from schools is supportive and positive and we continue to deliver a high quality ‘product’ despite the temporary move to pre-recorded video assemblies. The assembly plus packs continue to be popular with schools. We have also published a selection of prayer space resources for schools to use on our website, with access to equipment if needed through a local booking system.

COMMUNITIES

Community events were suspended for most of the financial year due to COVID-19. We were however able to collaborate with St Mary’s Church in Pulborough to run a holiday club during the summer, based at the local school, which was well received by both the church and the local community.

STAFF & ORGANISATIONAL CHANGES

This year we have had 5 part time workers (equivalent to 1.7 FTE employees) financed by our partnerships with local churches and donations from individuals and trusts. Eligible staff were furloughed during the year, in line with government guidelines and support.

We continue to seek volunteers to help us deliver the activities we run, both in the schools programme and with community events.

In June we moved premises to Dalesdown in Dial Post. This enabled us to reconfigure the office environment to make it safer for our team to work together when needed, rather than working from home and meeting remotely. We are grateful to Family Foundations Trust Ltd for allowing us to use their premises.

PARTNERSHIPS

We have continued our partnerships with local churches, gaining additional volunteer helpers and practical and financial assistance for project work. We continue to seek new partnerships and new opportunities to work within our local community.

FINANCE

Our overall financial position is positive due to a significant amount of legacy and exceptional donations, however financial support from both churches and individuals is declining. This has been difficult to address this year due to limited opportunities to meet with organisations and individuals and share our vision. Trustees have continued to develop a strategy to increase regular donations in order to ensure the long term sustainability of the charity.

The charity took advantage of that scheme as appropriate and from September through February furloughed staff as work allowed. Meanwhile staff have been paid their salaries in full.

13. RISK ASSESSMENT

The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that their annual review of the controls over key financial systems, provides sufficient cover for its operations. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems/processes to mitigate the significant risks.

14. RESERVES POLICY

The trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs. Based on the Charity's size and the level of financial commitments the trustees believe that three months of essential operational costs is adequate. The trustees aim to ensure the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even it there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure.

15. PUBLIC BENEFIT

The charity acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or 'aims' that are for the public benefit. Details of how the charity targets to achieve this are driven by its primary objectives. The outcomes are summarized within the trustees report for the year. The trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit when deciding which activities the charity should and do undertake.
