ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Chairman's report for the year 2023/2024

The Charity was founded in the mid-sixties, occupying the present building in 1972. It has improved the lives of the severely disabled adult members that attend. It is a unique charity where our motto is 'Giving Hope Changing Lives'.

The centre is run by Clare Goff (manager) with the support of Stuart Napper (deputy manager). They are supported by a dedicated team of 7. We are currently operating at near capacity and have a couple of prospective new members. Currently we still have our 4 adapted minibuses for use by our members for their many social outings.

Having taken over from Douglas Hayler in January 2023 we have made a few changes. Our accounting software was changed from Sage to Xero due to inefficiencies and cost savings. Unfortunately, by implementing these changes it led to some redundancies

Both of our charity shops have struggled over the last few years, due to closures during covid and the increased costs for service charges on the Pagham shop. Alternative ways were looked at to try and make the shops more profitable. Sadly, it became apparent that The Point Chichester Trading Ltd was insolvent and an Insolvency Practitioner was engaged in July 2023. Both shops were closed on 4th July 2023 and the staff were made redundant. The insolvency is still ongoing with a finalisation date of September 2024.

The trustees and centre staff have therefore spent 2023/2024 fundraising and bringing in new ideas for the future of the charity. This has given a new lease of life to the charity, and everyone is excited to support the centre as it continues to grow.

Overall, the charity remains in good financial health with strong reserves and the continuing support of its members as always, thoroughly appreciated.

I want to take this opportunity to thank previous staff members for their service and current staff members for their continuous support and positive attitudes whilst these changes have been made.

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 2024.

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 2024

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 exemption 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.

Operating leases

Costs relating to operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis.
