Trustees' Report
The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements and auditors' report of the charitable company for the year ended 30 June 2025.
Objectives and activities
Objects and aims
The Charity's objects are, in the area of West Cornwall particularly in the District of Penwith, to
Relieve poverty through the provision of household furniture and goods to those persons resident in the area of benefit that have need of such items by reason of their necessitous circumstances.
Advance education, training or retraining particularly among unemployed people so as to develop work skills, gain work experience and encourage social integration; and
Protect and preserve the environment by educating the public in the benefits to the environment of sustainable waste practices including recycling, carrying out research into sustainable waste management practices and disseminating the useful results of that research.
The objectives of the Charity are met principally by:
The sourcing by donation from the local community and the delivery to the local community in necessitous circumstance of furniture; white goods and electrical goods in exchange for donation by a furniture collection and delivery service staffed by the Project Co-ordinator and/or volunteers.
The provision of volunteer training placements within the Charity managed and supervised by the Project Co-ordinator and/or the Trustees. Placement maybe either solely managed or operated by the Charity or in partnership with one or more external organisations.
The conduct of public talks, fund raisers; community education visits by the Project Co-ordinator and/or the Trustees and volunteers.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Achievements and performance
As in previous years, GOFA has continued to provide individuals and families in need of support with free or modestly priced furniture or other household goods, in line with its primary objective. The prolonged rise in the cost of living has made GOFA even more essential in some people’s lives. GOFA has responded to referrals from Cornwall Council’s housing and adult social services departments and acts in partnership with other community agencies, such as LiveWest.
GOFA’s charitable objectives remain as relevant as ever. This year, following support from the National Lottery Community Fund Awards for All programme, GOFA has opened on a Saturday in order to extend access to the working population.
Between 1st January and 22nd December 2024, there were 2,613 transactions where people have paid at least something for the goods received, a 20% increase over the 2,177 in 2023. In the same period, there were 498 transactions where goods were given away without charge, taking the total number of transactions to 3,111. Donated goods were therefore 16.0% of the total.
A customer survey found that 99% of people followed up were very satisfied and 93% felt that what GOFA had provided had made life a lot more comfortable or easy. Nearly two-thirds (63%) had a lot or some money worries and all found GOFA a help or huge help. Just over half reported being fairly or very stressed and all found GOFA a help or huge help.
A secondary aim is to protect the environment. We estimate that GOFA has prevented about 1,134 cubic metres of landfill and, in addition, 7,400 kg (7.4 tonnes) of scrap metal have been recycled.
The year has been a challenging one for GOFA financially, with an increased wages bill and higher rent, fuel and utility costs. Nonetheless, GOFA remains on a secure footing.
Community Involvement and Support:

Trustees' Report
These organisations have been critical to the successful targeting of our expanded service both in supplying household goods to the community and in the recruitment and support of volunteers and training placements.
Financial review
During the year, the charity continued to deliver its services as in previous years.
Total income increased from £107,546 to £131,649 largely due to significant grant income of £29,593 from the National Lottery Community Fund.
Total expenditure reduced from £126,842 to £116,640.
Overall this has resulted in a surplus of £15,009 (prior year deficit £19,296).
The unrestricted general funds increased from £19,788 to £42,964. Designated funds remained at £65,663 and restricted funds reduced from £28,831 to £20,664, which includes unspent revenue funding of £10,762.
A full breakdown of the funds position can be found in note 17.
Policy on reserves
The trustees have examined the charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation.
It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should equate to 3 months of the annual core costs which is estimated at £25,000. These reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirements of the charity and the trustees are confident that at this level they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a drop in funding.
At the year end, the unrestricted general reserves were £42,964. In addition, the trustees also have a designated 'core cost provision' fund of £22,000.
The trustees wish to continue the process of prudent provision for the future and have a designated fund towards the cost of replacing the van in the future. The vehicle is essential to the operation of the service. At the year end, the balance on this fund was £13,663. The trustees have concluded that the designated fund should remain intact.
The trustees also have a designated fund towards the cost of purchasing a lease in the future. Premises are essential to the operation of the service. At the year end, the balance on this fund was £30,000.

Trustees' Report
Plans for future periods
Activities planned to achieve aims
Financial viability is a priority. It is extremely difficult to secure grant funding to support ongoing revenue costs. GOFA’s trustees have, therefore, established a working group to develop an income raising strategy that will see GOFA meeting its goal of balancing financial probity with its mission to support local people to enjoy decent living standards at home.
Structure, governance and management
Nature of governing document
The directors of the company ("The Trustees") subject to the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011 and the Memorandum and Articles are responsible for the management of and the exercise of all powers pertaining to the Charity.
The Charity is constituted such that unless otherwise decided by ordinary resolution the maximum number of Trustees shall be twelve and the minimum number be three. At the time of incorporation it was agreed that the initial number of Trustees would be eight.
The accounts comply with current statutory requirements and the charity's governing documents.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
New Trustees are appointed after election following a private or public invitation at any qualifying Board meeting of the Charity.
The Trustees have appointed a Management Committee who are responsible for the operational management of the Charity. The project manager is a member of the management committee.

Trustees' Report
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of Good Old Furniture Available (GOFA) for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 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 its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. 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 accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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 Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
1 Charity status
The charity is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England & Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.
The address of its registered office is: Ellis Square Voundervour Lane PENZANCE TR18 4UH
2 Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Basis of preparation
Good Old Furniture Available (GOFA) meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
Income and endowments
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Page 10
Good Old Furniture Available (GOFA)
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the grant of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset having been transferred to the charity.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Investment income
Bank interest is recognised once received.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Page 11
Good Old Furniture Available (GOFA)
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including independent examination, strategic management and trustee meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £100 or more are initially recorded at cost.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
| Asset class | Depreciation method and rate |
|---|---|
| Equipment | 15-20% reducing balance |
| Motor Vehicles | 20-25% reducing balance |
| Building Improvements | 5% straight line |
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Good Old Furniture Available (GOFA)
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Pensions and other post retirement obligations
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
