REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (Continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Going concern

The Trustees have considered the impact of the Government response to Covid-19 on the activity of the charity. To date income has not reduced significantly however there is uncertainty regarding funding for future periods. Projects are continuing where possible and as a result, the Trustees consider that the charity has sufficient reserves to meet liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of the signing of the accounts.

Funding

The charity is reliant on external funding to continue in operation. The National Lottery Community Fund is 2020 a Consortium comprising of Disability Positive (formerly Cheshire Centre for Independent Living) and Disability Equality submitted a successful tender application to provide direct payment advice and support and a payroll service to direct payment users in Lancashire the service is called the Lancashire Independent Living Service. The contract was awarded until May 2023 with an option to extend for a further 3 years to 2026.

The charity also has funding from Preston City Council Covid response fund, Awards for All and various earned income streams in the form of supported banking service fees, training, room hire. Additionally, the charity is grateful for the support of the general public for their generous donations, and this will continue to be an important source of income. The charity will continue to submit additional funding applications and is confident it will be successful with a sufficient amount of these bids to continue in operation and has plans in place to control costs in line with any reduction in the expected level of income if necessary.

Reserves policy

Total reserves at 31 March 2022 are £932,340, of which £246,226 are restricted funds and £686,114 are unrestricted funds. The trustees' reserves policy is to be equivalent to up to 12 months of average expenditure and to include enough reserves for project exit costs and redundancy payments. Unrestricted free reserves at 31 March 2021 were £686,114, which is in excess of 12 months of unrestricted expenditure. This is monitored on an ongoing basis by the Trustees to keep free reserves in line with the reserves policy.

Plans for future periods

Responsibilities of the trustees

The trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which 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 the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period.

DISABILITY EQUALITY (NW) LTD (A Registered Charity and Company Limited by Guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1 Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

Basis of preparation

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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

Disability Equality (NW) Ltd 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 note(s).

Going concern

The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements. The Trustees have concluded that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Company status

The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The trustees are drawn from the members of the company and volunteer members. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per trustee of the charity.

Fund accounting

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.

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 particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

DISABILITY EQUALITY (NW) LTD (A Registered Charity and Company Limited by Guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1 Accounting policies (continued)

Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Donated facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified and a third party is bearing the cost. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Detailed analyses of the expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT where applicable, are provided in the notes to the accounts.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the original cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful lives as follows:

Property improvements - over the period of the lease Furniture, fittings and equipment - over 4 years

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Creditors

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

Operating leases

Rentals applicable to operating leases are charged to the SOFA on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1 Accounting policies (continued)

Taxation

The company is a registered charity and is not liable to taxation on its charitable activities.

Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company. The annual contributions payable are charged to the SOFA.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The trustees do not believe that there are any estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities.
