## Unique Ways
## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022
## **Financial review**
The net expenses for the year was £36,888, including net expenses of £15,459 on unrestricted funds and net expenses of £21,429 on restricted funds after transfers.
The Board of Trustees have assessed the financial position of the charity and would note the following:-
The charity currently has a 3-year contract with the Local Authority for delivery of specific parts of the service offer, this current contract ends in March 2024.
The charity currently has a 3- year contract with the NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (formerly known as the Clinical Commissioning Group). This contract is to specifically fund the Form Filling Support Service and the Sleep Support Service, this contract ends in March 2024.
Having consistently achieved targeted outcomes via both pots of funding which has helped deliver better life chances for Parent Carers in Calderdale, the Board of Trustees are hopeful of this funding being extended for another 3 years.
The charity continues to apply for grant funding from appropriate funders large and small and has been successful with bids submitted to the local Community Foundation for Calderdale as well as other local and national funders.
For financial year 2022-2023 the Board of Trustees recognise that the prudent outlook would be to concentrate on delivering the current core service offer at this stage and not seek development opportunities, however, this would be reviewed if a suitable grant programme was appealing in terms of allowing the charity to grow and possibly divert into directing helping children and young people as well as Parent Carers.
The Board of Trustees acknowledge that for this financial year 2021-2022, the charity could only deliver it’s face to face services from July 2021 when Government legislation eased restrictions. The Board look forward positively to a full year of face to face support being provided for year 2022-2023.
At the time of signing these accounts the charity has been impacted by the global Covid-19 virus. The trustees have reassessed the charity’s ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date that the accounts are approved and conclude that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £60,196.
To ensure the financial viability of the fund and its ability to meet its ongoing commitments we will aim towards maintaining, on average, sufficient reserves to cover approximately three months' expenditure which we have calculated as £50,000 and the long-term pension liability of £15,650.
We hope to generate more unrestricted income from fundraising, donations, and corporate sponsorship with the aim of building our unrestricted reserves back up to meet this policy.

## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities**
The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Unique Ways
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 9 to 19.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the charitable 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 charitable 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 ('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 material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- 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.

## Notes to the accounts
## for the year ended 31 March 2022
## **4 Pension**
The company participates in the scheme, a multi-employer scheme which provides benefits to some 37 non-associated employers. The scheme is a defined benefit scheme in the UK.
It is not possible for the company to obtain sufficient information to enable it to account for the scheme as a defined benefit scheme. Therefore it accounts for the scheme as a defined contribution scheme.
The scheme is subject to the funding legislation outlined in the Pensions Act 2004 which came into force on 30 December 2005. This, together with documents issued by the Pensions Regulator and Technical Actuarial Standards issued by the Financial Reporting Council, set out the framework for funding defined benefit occupational pension schemes in the UK.
The scheme is classified as a 'last-man standing arrangement'. Therefore the company is potentially liable for other participating employers' obligations if those employers are unable to meet their share of the scheme deficit following withdrawal from the scheme. Participating employers are legally required to meet their share of the scheme deficit on an annuity purchase basis on withdrawal from the scheme.
A full actuarial valuation for the scheme was carried out at 30 September 2019. This valuation showed assets of £79m, liabilities of £93.9m and a deficit of £14.9m. To eliminate this funding shortfall, the Trustee asked the participating employers to pay additional contributions to the scheme as follows:
## **Deficit contributions**
From 1 April 2021 to 30 September 2027: £1,530,000 per annum
(payable monthly and increasing by 3.0% each year on 1st April)
The recovery plan contributions are allocated to each participating employer in line with their estimated share of the scheme liabilities.
Where the scheme is in deficit and where the company has agreed to a deficit funding arrangement the company recognises a liability for this obligation. The amount recognised is the net present value of the deficit reduction contributions payable under the agreement that relates to the deficit. The present value is calculated using the discount rate detailed in these disclosures. The unwinding of the discount rate is recognised as a finance cost.

The company must recognise a liability measured as the present value of the contributions payable that arise from the deficit recovery agreement and the resulting expense in the income and expenditure account i.e. the unwinding of the discount rate as a finance cost in the period in which it arises.
It is these contributions that have been used to derive the company's balance sheet liability.
The liability of £19,132 is shown as a creditor in the accounts and is split between due within one year (£3,482) and more than one year (£15,650).
