Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 31 March 2022

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Achievement and Performance

This year, 2021/2022 began in a state of "Transition" as the country and TiM began with the Covid 19 pandemic still with us, but in the knowledge that we were beginning to see that we were "going to have to live" with the virus.

Most of the local community and staff had been injected, but the Covid 19 precautions were still in place and in our general way of working life.

TiM Trustees sanctioned an external agency to develop a 3-year business Plan and "Who we are" documents.

These documents can be given to new and old funders illustrating the work that TiM is not only currently involved with but also the successful work that TiM has completed in the Matson community over the past 20 odd years.

At TiM we felt that we were moving into a different phase. We began to "open up" the Redwell Centre to invite more of the community back and to also begin more activities for all groups. The events were more "low key" and smaller to begin with but as the year progressed it was felt that we could return back to something more like "normal" i.e. before March 2020.

Youth activities began, within a team that now include a number of new members/recruits/volunteers. The Youth events, began on-line with a small number of young people, but as time went by the team managed to swiftly move on and allow a larger number of evenings and young people to take place at the Redwell.

TiM had been highlighted by many larger organisations including Glos Council as being at the fore in helping the local community. This continued throughout the year with TiM allowing the NHS to use our facilities to provide Covid 19 injections, for the local community. The jabs being either first, second or even booster.

TiM continued to be involved in providing Community support, e.g: the distribution of food to young people (at school) during the holidays.

Two apprentices joined the team (having previously been a part of the Governments "Kickstarter" scheme.

The TiM team of Trustees continued to "change"with the recruitment of a new Trustee, who has links with the Matson Anglers (who have become very much linked to TiM). Matson Anglers provide fishing courses for young people to assist with their Mental well-being.

The GEM worker (working with the TiM team) changed, in personnel, however the success for the local community with assisting more people (Old and Young) to gain employment continued, throughout the year.

The TiM team member - "Happy coach" Karin began 2022 by accepting the request for her to continue her "learning" by starting a National "Leaders" training course

Debbie - the TiM Social Organiser (volunteer) - was recruited and began working with TiM - The purpose of the role, being to help the elderly of the Community to "return to the norm". Many people were visited by Debbie on a weekly basis. TiM Management have received many thanks since Debbie joined the team (August 2021)

TiM's investment in a Mini-bus has reaped rewards. With the mini-bus being used extensively, as the community's means of transport, not only to bring the elderly in the community into the Redwell but also on many trips to numerous locations throughout the county.

One of the most exciting occasions to celebrate was for one of the TiM Trustees (Kirsty), who gave birth to a new addition to her family

New activities/programmes that TiM were involved in for the year were Baby clinic Macmillan Cancer awareness Covid Injections Clinic

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

For the year 2021 - 2022, Unrestricted funds have an income of £258,376 with expenditure £200,603 giving a net income of £57,773 for the year and a unrestricted funds balance of £193,772 at the year end.

Restricted Funds have an income of £60,860 with expenditure of £48,870 giving a net income of £11,990 and a restricted funds balance at the year end of £12,518.

Reserves policy

A Reserves policy has been written, the Board seeks to keep at least 3 months of "general running costs and wages". This amounts to £60,000.

FUTURE PLANS

2022 saw the TiM Management and Trustees invest many hours in developing a new Business Plan, that reflected the transition from Covid.

TiM was also chosen, by the Local Council and Gloucester City Homes (GCH), as the local organisation to become linked with the transition/renovation of derelict School building.

The initial thoughts, by the team, were that we could turn it into a Café and Fishing Lake location and this has already meant working to gain, additional Funding. We have discussed plans with both organisations and recruiting some "legal representation" (Thirty Percy) with the transfer of the facility over to the control of TiM as well as working with local organisations regards the building work.

The local NHS Commissioning team, also became involved to support TiM making £100K funding available; additional funding requirements would also need to be found and this task would continue through 2022/23.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Organisational structure

The Board of Trustees who are also the directors of the company consist of a number of person's living working and volunteering in the area of Gloucestershire, having strong links with the Matson area.

The Board of Trustees together with the Project Managers, constitute the Management Committee, which is responsible for the governance and strategy of TiM.

The Management Committee has delegated the "daily" management of TiM to the Project Managers. Sub committees for Finance & Well-being report to the full Management Committee.

This committee meets on at least four occasions throughout the year to review such items as the performance, new programmes/projects, working finances and administration.

Staff Structure

Two Project Managers - One works Full Time and the second is a part time Project Manager (succession planning); this Manager is also the Administrator including finance reporting.

One Cleaner and One Part time "Happy coach" are employed by TiM.

One Youth worker and support youth team.

Invaluable assistance in delivering the "goals and objectives" of TiM are the many unpaid volunteers. Without their tireless support and time, many activities would and could not have taken place.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Together in Matson

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Together in Matson ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022.

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 accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the 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 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

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of ICAEW which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  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 Financial Statements For The Year Ended 31 March 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) "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) (effective 1 January 2015)", Financial Reporting Standard 102 "Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of investments which are included at market value.

The accounts are prepared on a going concern basis as there are no material concerns about the charity's ability to continue for the foreseeable future.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates estimated to write each asset down to its estimated residual value evenly over the expected useful life, as follows:

Income

All incoming resources are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the Project is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable certainty. Income represents the value of goods sold and services provided to customers.

Gifts in kind or use by the charity are included in the SOFA as incoming resources when receivable and are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity.

The value of volunteer help is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees' annual report.

Resources expended

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.

Costs of generating funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income and in trading activities that raise funds.

Charitable activities include both the direct costs and support costs incurred in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries.

Governance costs are those incurred in the governance of the charity and its assets and in compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Support costs, being indirect staff and overheads, are apportioned on a usage basis, proportional to the total costs of each activity undertaken.

Taxation

No provision for taxation is included in the accounts as it benefits from exemption offered by section 505 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988.

The Project is not registered for Value Added Tax.

Funds

General funds are available for the use of the Project at the discretion of trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Project.

Designated funds are general funds that have been set aside by the trustees for specific purposes.
