**Point Europa Ltd Trustees Annual Report**
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
The 2024/25 tax year was a period of great change for Point Europa. Following the Brexit decision, the EU funding for the charity’s core purpose of European exchanges gradually came to an end as existing contracts were completed and closed. By the end of the 2024/25 reporting period, that process was essentially complete with the last remaining staff finishing their employment just after this accounting period closed.
The charity had decided to restructure with a new focus on support for older people in the community and their carers, which had been a major strand in the work for many years. The intention was to register new objectives and pivot the organisation; however, the Charity Commission rejected the proposed changes to our existing charitable objectives and recommended the establishment of a new charitable organisation. ln response, a linked group of volunteers registered a new Charitable lncorporated Organisation (ClO), The Care Hub Millbrook, which was officially established on 24 April 2025. The Care Hub Millbrook is now a flourishing independent charity with its own Board of Trustees and operational structure, providing vital support in the local area.
Point Europa remains in existence as the owner of a vital community building in Millbrook. We have moved to a fully volunteer-run operation, providing work and meeting space for the Care Hub and other community groups; there is currently some prospect that international exchanges around Europe may restart, allowing a potential return by Point Europa to its original function.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
Throughout 2024-25, the charity's cash flow was closely monitored. The General Manager and Finance Manager provided regular updates to the Board through the Finance and Planning Committee. As a result, the charity’s financial position remained stable and fully compliant with reporting requirements.
The charity maintains a policy to hold unrestricted funds at a level deemed sufficient by the Trustees to sustain operations in the event of a significant funding shortfall. This allows time to seek alternative funding sources without disrupting core activities.

**Point Europa Ltd Independent Examiners Report**
## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Point Europa Ltd**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Point Europa Ltd for the year ended 30 September 2025
## **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 financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act.
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the Charity 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 financial statements 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 can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
- the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements under section 396
- of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the financial statements give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
> • the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

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.

Office equipment 25% Straight line Fixtures & fittings 33% Straight line Computer equipment 33% Straight line
## **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.
> Page 11
**Point Europa Ltd Notes to the Accounts**
## **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.
## **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 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 operated 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.
