ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Chairman's report

A steady return to normal service

Under the leadership of manager, Clare Goff and deputy Stuart Napper the centre is operating at near capacity with a waiting list of prospective new members. To emerge from the Covid years in such good order is a great achievement and a tribute to our dedicated and professional staff and to the loyalty of our members, their carers and families. We are delighted that our 4 minibuses, specially converted for our seriously disabled members, are again in use for many and varied outings.

All staff received a pay rise in April last year and this year we ensured that salaries were compatible with increased national levels. A welcome to several new staff appointed during the year.

The proposed new flooring has not yet been fitted owing to remaining Covid restrictions. The money has been raised and the improvements will take place soon. We are grateful to the National Lottery and Sussex Community fund for their continued support.

The charity shops have struggled to become profitable after COVID and whilst we have tried to implement ways to turn this around, it has not been possible. Through crisis talks the trustees determined that it would not be in the charity's best interests to continue trading and therefore our two charity shops operated under The Point Trading Chichester Limited, have had to cease trading from 4 July 2023. We would like to thank the staff and customers for their support in relation to this.

I am grateful to our trustees who continue to actively support the charity.

I resigned as chair in January for reasons of health and age and thank the trustees and everyone at the centre for their support. The new chair is Karen Jones who is a parent of a disabled member. I wish her well in the post.

The charity was founded in the mid-sixties, occupying the present building in 1972. In this century it has improved beyond measure the lives and understanding of severely disabled adults in every conceivable way. It remains a measure for the very few similar charities nationwide.

Douglas Hayler. Chairman Up to January 2023 Karen Jones. Chair January 2023 to date

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Scope West Sussex

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Scope West Sussex ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st March 2023.

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 member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, 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 31st March 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, 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 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The 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, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':

Preparation of consolidated financial statements

The financial statements contain information about Scope West Sussex as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The charity is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Governance costs

Governance costs include the costs of governance arrangements which relate to the general running of the charity.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Support expenditure which does not directly relate to the objects of the charity is analysed between charitable expenditure across each charitable activity. Items which involve more than one cost category are apportioned as appropriate to the cost categories involved.

Expenses relating to restricted funds are shown separately.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Long leasehold - not provided Improvements to property - 20% on cost and 10% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 20% on cost Motor vehicles - 20% on cost Computer equipment - 33% on cost Assets with an initial cost greater than £1,000 are capitalised.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for a particular purpose. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the accounts.

Unrestricted designated funds are funds which the trustees have designated for specific projects. The aim and use of each fund is set out in the notes to the accounts. General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Where the trustees have determined to transfer money between funds, the transfer is treated as an adjustment to the balances and not as incoming or outgoing resources.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES

The Charity's trading subsidiary, The Point Chichester Ltd, received a loan of £10,500 from Scope West Sussex. This loan was to be fully repaid by 2023 and interest will be payable at a rate of 2.5% per annum. The interest payments are due annually in November. The balance on the loan as at 31 March 2023 was nil (2022: £2,605).

During the year ended 31 March 2018, The Point Chichester Ltd, also received a loan of £15,000 from Scope West Sussex to cover the costs of the Rose Green Shop. This loan was to be fully repaid by 2023 and interest will be payable at a rate of 2.5% per annum. The interest payments are due annually. The balance on the loan as at 31 March 2023 was nil (2022: £13,246)

At 31 March 2019 the trustees agreed to defer repayment of both loans and therefore no loan repayments have been made since this agreement.

As of 4 July 2023, The Point Trading Chichester Ltd stopped trading due to insolvency and the intercompany loans became irrecoverable, the balance at 31 March 2023 is therefore nil (2022: £58,001).
