## Report of the Trustees 

## For The Year Ended 30 September 2024 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for  the year ended 30 September 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The principle aims of the charity are to create public benefit through providing affordable furniture to local people whilst delivering a combination of social, environmental and economic objectives. Furniture and domestic appliances are sourced through collections of unwanted furniture on a contractual basis with the Local Authority. National retailers also donate products to the charity that would otherwise have been destined for landfill. In the process of doing so it provides work and training opportunities for the long term unemployed and those severely disadvantaged in the labour market. The organisation was designed to respond to local, regional, national and European legislative drivers in the areas of recycling, regeneration and enterprise development. 

## **Our Story** 

The life of Refurnish began on 8th January 2003. Born out of five thriving community groups central to furniture production and delivery in Doncaster, Refurnish recognised the opportunity to divert the increasing amounts of goods sent to landfill sites into the successful environmentally friendly project you now see. We do  not see 'waste', we see an opportunity to reuse and recycle, and create high quality goods to sell to the local community at low costs.  And at the heart of it: People! 

## **Refurnish: Affordable, Sustainable, and Community-Driven** 

At Refurnish, we are committed to transforming homes, protecting the environment, and supporting our local community. Working alongside retailers, public sector agencies, and local people, we provide high-quality new, used, and remanufactured furniture and household goods at truly affordable prices-making sustainable  living accessible to everyone. 

We recognize that furnishing a home can be a significant expense, which is why we focus on reuse, recycling, and remanufacturing to offer cost-effective,  high-quality alternatives. By collecting unwanted furniture from homes, businesses, and retailers, we prevent valuable items from going to waste. Instead, our skilled team  restores and upcycles these goods, giving them a second life and reducing carbon emissions associated with landfill waste and new production. We also sell end-of-line retail furniture at a fraction of high-street prices, making stylish and durable furnishings affordable for all. 

Beyond affordability and sustainability, our work delivers real community impact. This year alone, we have made 30,132 retail sales enabling people to access essential household items while significantly reducing waste. By diverting furniture from landfill, we actively contribute to carbon savings, promoting an environmentally friendly circular economy. Our educational initiatives further this mission by engaging schools and young people, inspiring the next generation to embrace recycling and sustainability. 

Refurnish isn't just about furniture-it's about creating opportunities. We provide vital training, employment, and volunteering placements, particularly for those facing barriers to work. With 98% of our workforce from the local area, many of whom were previously long-term unemployed, we equip individuals with transferable skills  and formal qualifications, paving the way for brighter futures. 

At its core, Refurnish is about more than just selling furniture. We are problem-solvers, sustainability champions, and community builders-working every day to  create a fairer, greener, and more inclusive society.

## **How Doncaster Refurnish Provides Public Benefit** 

We use the medium of taking unwanted materials and we create an environment for demotivated or uninspired people to grow and excel. We do this by helping them to realise their potential, encouraging their creativity and enabling them to test out their ideas, calculate and take risks in a supportive environment. 

## **Furniture Collection** 

Doncaster Refurnish collects unwanted furniture and domestic appliances from households throughout the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster. This is a free  service to those donating items that can be reused. This service maximises resources for the benefit of low income families whilst diverting products from landfill and  reducing the cost on the public purse. 

## **Furniture Remanufacture** 

Doncaster Refurnish works in partnership with national retailers to divert waste from landfill through the remanufacture of damaged furniture. 

## **Expressions Furniture Upcycling** 

We upcycle items that have been rescued from our own internal waste stream. Upcycling is the process of converting old or discarded materials into something useful and often beautiful. 

In addition we use our resources to provide craft workshops for vulnerable young people. 

We also receive commissions from the general public and businesses to reupholster their own products.

## Report of the Trustees 

## For The Year Ended 30 September 2024 

## **Refurnish Reuse** 

This is a partnership project with a private waste management company and three local authorities of Doncaster, Rotherham and Barnsley to divert reusable  products from Household Waste Recycling Centres. Products are sifted, sorted, graded and retailed to traders and the general public. 

## **Shops** 

People who are in receipt of low income and struggling to afford household items to set up home have access to two shops in the Doncaster area; Carcroft and Dunscroft and can access products through Facebook. 

## **Handyman Services** 

The Handyman Service was set up to bring together existing services to provide a one-stop shop that will result in a more coordinated and customer focused approach to support people to live independently. The service has been developed in partnership with Doncaster Council's Trading Standards and has been supported by Sunderland Community Furniture Services who provided their best practice model. 

Most people want to stay in their own homes as they get older and Doncaster Refurnish through the Handyman Service aims to help people do just that. The aim of Handyman Service is to "enable those in need of support to maintain their independence in their chosen home for the foreseeable future. This will be achieved by supporting people throughout the repair, adaptation or improvement process, so that individuals are able to remain in their own home in a warm, safe and secure environment". We provide a whole range of services across all disciplines. 

## **Volunteer Programme** 

Refurnish offers volunteering and work placement opportunities to people facing long-term unemployment and those serving probation orders. The aim of the programme is to support local people in gaining the skills, qualifications and confidence to become active participants in society. 

## **Spirit of Christmas** 

The Spirit of Christmas is now a charity in its own right. Refurnish supports the charity to run Christmas parties for children in need. This year we worked with Doncaster Council's Children's Starting Well Service, Food Aware, The Ridge Employability College, North Doncaster Development Trust and ReRead. The event catered for up to 120 children. 

## **Changing Inside And Out (CIAO)** 

Refurnish has established the CIAO project as an internal support programme for staff and volunteers to provide support, personal development and empowerment. We offer a range of services and training to suit all needs using internal and external therapists. The aim is to build and foster resilience within the organisation and then share our work with the wider community. 

## **Widening Participation And Community Capacity Building** 

Refurnish works in partnership with Doncaster Council, Public Health and other third sector organisations to support the development of local infrastructure projects  / initiatives. This helps statutory and private sector bodies to work in meaningful partnership with the local third sector to deliver shared outcomes for Doncaster. 

The CEO serves as an elected Voluntary Community Sector Representative to Team Doncaster for the theme: Making Doncaster a great place to live and do business. 

## **Financial review** 

## **Financial position** 

The charity works closely with its external accountants to achieve thorough financial planning. In order to achieve the vision of delivering much needed services to  the local community in the long term, Doncaster Refurnish has adopted a policy of regular financial reviews. Two year financial projections are available to assist  Trustees and the CEO to plan for the future and define the fundraising strategy. Budget reports are normally produced monthly that give a comparison between projected income and actual. This practice keeps the management abreast of the current financial situation and corrective action is taken if income differs significantly from projected levels. 

The charity endeavours to adopt the principles of full cost recovery (securing funding for, or "recovering", all costs, including the direct costs of projects and all overheads) when delivering services and applying for grants. 

Income from charitable activities amounted to £1,640,179 (2023: £1,803,032. Other income, including income from donations and other incoming resources, was £78,871 (2023: £87,679) giving total income for the year of £1,719,050 (2023: £1,890,711). 

Total expenditure for the year was £1,771,749 (2023: £1,784,361) giving net expenditure of £52,699 (2023: net income of £106,350). 

## **Principal funding sources** 

The charity's income is derived from a combination of contracts, the sale of goods, delivery of services and grant giving bodies.

## Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 30 September 2024 

## **STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review** 

## **Investment policy and objectives** 

Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association the trustees have the following powers: 

**-** To deposit or invest funds in any manner (but to invest only after obtaining advice from a financial expert and having regard to the suitability of investments and the need for diversification) 

**-** To delegate the management of investments to a financial expert under agreed terms and conditions. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The funds carried forward are £673,195 (2023: £725,894) of which £8,902 (2023: £288) are restricted funds and £664,293 (2023: £725,606) are unrestricted funds. The free reserves (unrestricted funds less fixed assets) are £602,548. 

Due to the economic climate and uncertainty for the economic outlook of the Country as a whole, the Management Committee has established a policy whereby the unrestricted reserves held by the charity should meet 6 months of expenditure requirements of core service contract costs. Total forecast expenditure for 2025 £1,798,000 is with expenditure for delivery of core service contracts forecast at £305,000 

Therefore between £100,000 and £200,000 will remain in reserve to cover our contractual obligations. 

## **Future plans** 

This year has been another year of consolidation. The charity aims to continue to deliver its core services in relation to furniture re-use and recycling, training and the volunteer programme. Our strategic plan includes the following developments for 2024/25: 

- Doncaster Refurnish currently has a service level agreement with Doncaster Council and Suez UK to collect bulky household waste from Doncaster residents. It  is our intention to work with our partners to improve participation, reuse and recycling to meet targets set out in our Local Area Agreement and to improve overall environmental and social performance in the borough. 

- To continue to secure quality household goods to benefit those who need it. 

- The continued expansion of our work with national retailers. 

- Further Expansion of the BDR reuse project working with national waste contractors and three local authorities. 

- To provide subsidised/free work specific training for the long term unemployed. 

- The expansion of our volunteering programme and to support students with severe educational needs. 

- To create and maintain an online business presence. 

- To build upon our humanitarian work framework especially around disaster recovery 

-To further expand our CIAO project to support the wider community.

## Report of the Trustees 

## For The Year Ended 30 September 2024 

## **IN CONCLUSION....** 

It's been another very busy year. Challenging yet rewarding. We have rebuilt the organisation to pre covid size and have lots of opportunity to pursue but there are  lots of challenges yet to overcome. We are expecting a 10-12% increase in demand on our services and we are facing significant financial challenges due to increases in employer National Insurance contributions (NICs) and the National Living Wage. These changes, effective from April 2025, will intensify existing pressures on the sector, which is already grappling with rising demand, escalating costs, and declining funding. 

In response to these challenges, over 7,300 charities and voluntary organizations co-signed an open letter to the Chancellor, urging for exemptions or  reimbursements for the increased NIC costs. The Chancellor acknowledged the sector's vital role but reiterated the necessity of the tax changes, offering no exemptions for charities. 

The Charity Finance Group (CFG) conducted a survey revealing that 84% of charities are deeply concerned about affording the rise in NICs. Many are  contemplating staff reductions, canceling expansion plans, or cutting services to manage the financial strain.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of Doncaster Re-Furnish Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and 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. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

In so far as the trustees are aware: 

- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and 

- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. 

Report of the trustees, incorporating a strategic report, approved by order of the board of trustees, as the company directors, on ............................................. and signed on the board's behalf by:

## Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Doncaster Re-Furnish Limited 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Doncaster Re-Furnish Limited (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 30 September 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 30 September 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards  are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have  fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide  a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## **Other information** 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such  material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or 

- the charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

## Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Doncaster Re-Furnish Limited 

## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having  effect thereunder. 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

- Enquiry of management around actual and potential litigation and claims and fraud; 

- Enquiry of management and review of correspondence to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; 

- Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations; 

- Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including review of nominal ledger transactions and other adjustments for  appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions outside the normal course of business and testing of cash income. 

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the  financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## Notes to the Financial Statements 

## For The Year Ended 30 September 2024 

## **1. STATUTORY INFORMATION** 

Doncaster Re-Furnish Limited is a charitable company, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office can be found in the Report of the Trustees. 

## **2. 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, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets. 

## **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 one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about its ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions: 

There were no critical accounting estimates or assumptions this year that are deemed to be material in nature to the financial statements. 

## **Income** 

All incoming resources are included on the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: 

Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. 

Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included. 

Gifts donated for resale are included as incoming resources within charitable activities when they are sold, as it is considered that their market value as second hand or damaged goods cannot be ascertained with reliable estimates, given the alternative uses, when donations are made.Consequently no adjustment is made for the stock of donated goods. 

Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are receivable. 

Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable. 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management. 

## **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows: 

Plant and machinery 

- 25% straight line

## Notes to the Financial Statements - continued For The Year Ended 30 September 2024 

## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

**Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 25% to 33% straight line Motor vehicles - 25% straight line 

## **Stocks** 

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. 

## **Taxation** 

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

## **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 charitable company and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

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 costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Leasing commitments** 

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight line basis over the lease term. 

## **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. 

## **Liabilities** 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity  anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. 

## **Financial instruments** 

The charity only holds basic financial instruments as defined by FRS102. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the charity and their measurement basis are as follows: 

Financial assets - trade and other debtors are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost. Prepayments are not financial instruments. 

Social Investments- Debt Instrument measured at amortised cost. At the end of each reporting period, the charity shall assess whether there is objective evidence of impairment of any financial assets. Any impairments of financial assets are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

Cash at bank - is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value. 

Financial liabilities - trade creditors, accruals and other creditors are financial instruments, and are measured at amortised cost. Taxation and social security are not included in the financial instruments disclosure definition. Deferred income is not deemed to be a financial liability, as the cash settlement has already taken place and there is an obligation to deliver services rather than cash or another financial instrument. 

## **Debtors** 

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