ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Chair's Report for the Year 2024-2025
The charity was founded in the mid-sixties, occupying the current building since 1972.
Our current motto 'Giving Hope Changing Lives' has enabled us to improve the lives of our current members. It has also given those that care for them much needed respite.
The Centre is still run by the current Manager Clare Goff and Deputy Manager Stuart Napper. They are supported by a reliable and dedicated team of 6 staff offering the opportunity for those members that attend the Centre to have days out to places like the theatre, pub lunches, trips on a canal boat, shopping, and any other local attractions that take their fancy. We still have our 4 adapted minibuses to cater for these excursions.
The insolvency of our charity shops was finalised on 25 January 2025.
We are currently fundraising for a new kitchen for the centre. Staff arranged a sponsored walk of Goodwood Race Circuit in June 2024. A special thanks go to all the staff for their hard work to make this event possible. This was supported by staff, trustees, members, family and friends. A fun evening was had by all. Well done all. We managed to raise more than £2,000.
On the 8th April 2024, Irene Hayler retired as a trustee. We thank Irene for her support as a trustee and previously as admin clerk for the Centre. On the 3rd September 2024 Douglas Hayler our previous chairman and trustee retired. Douglas is still fundraising for us. We wish them both well for a long and happy retirement.
On the 13th March 2025, one of our longest serving members of staff Paul Hope retired. A retirement party was held at the Centre in appreciation for Paul's commitment over the years. He was a valued and witty member of staff and will be sadly missed by us all. This party was attended by staff, members past and present, carers and trustees. A presentation was made by Clare (Manager). Thank you, Paul, for all your hard work over the years, we wish you a long and happy retirement.
Our charity is still in a good financial position with good strong reserves. The support we receive by its current members is greatly appreciated.
I want to take this opportunity to thank all the staff for their support. They face many challenges throughout the year, but with their positive attitudes, commitment and hard work, they still manage to make the Centre a fun place to work and enrich the lives of those who attend, without you the Centre would not be possible.
Karen Jones, Chair

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 31 March 2025.
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:
-
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
-
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.

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.
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':
- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
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.
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
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. Assets with an initial cost greater than £1,000 are capitalised.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Fund accounting
Unrestricted designated funds are funds which the trustees have designated for specific projects. The aim and used of each fund is set out in the notes to the accounts.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. The aim of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the accounts.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
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.
Investments
Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in 'net gains / (losses) on investments' in the SoFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. Other investments are measured at cost less impairment.
Investments with a fixed term of less than 12 months at the balance sheet date are classified as current assets.
Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
