GLOSSOPDALE FURNITURE PROJECT Registered Charity No:1118353

ANNUAL REPORT 2022 - 2023

SINCE 1997 GLOSSOPDALE FURNITURE PROJECT has been helping families and individuals who are referred from social services, housing charities, women’s refuges and many other local organisations who support those in need.

The charity continues to provide low or no cost emergency Home Essentials Packs to those who have been homeless and given a new tenancy where the property has few or none of the household items many of us take for granted.

As a charity, fundraising is on-going - because the need continues to be always there .

Relying on the donations of previously unwanted furniture and household items to maintain its stock, the Project reclaims, restores, refurbishes and upcycles furniture for sale.

A developing, dedicated specialist furniture restoration and painting workshop alongside an established joinery workshop repairing and building furniture are kept busy generating much needed income to support the charity. They not only help fund the charity’s work but give added benefit to the local environment by diverting over 100 tonnes annually of good, usable furniture, from the waste stream.

Its premises at Pikes Lane and George Street are open daily to the general public for the purchase of used, pre-loved, refurbished and upcycled furniture together with commission enquiries for its workshops all going towards funding the work of charity.

Chair’s Report

This year has been one where the Project has continued to strive to recover from the effects of the restrictions caused by the covid pandemic.

I want to thank the staff, volunteers and Trustees all of whom have made fantastic contributions to the Project this year. In addition thanks are due to the generous help and sponsorship of the local and national groups and businesses whose names are listed in this Annual Report.

Firstly I must thank Paul Marsh our Project Manager who worked tirelessly through the covid period to ensure that the furniture delivery services we provide to those in need were able to continue throughout that time. Paul also steered us into the following months as the Charity picked up momentum and began to resume normal activities. His contribution to the work of the Project was invaluable. Paul took the decision to retire from his post in December 2022 but has continued to support us by producing our publicity leaflets and posters.

In December 2022, our Assistant Manager, Leigh Higginbottom, agreed to take on the post of Acting Manager which enabled the Charity to continue its work without interruption. Leigh had already demonstrated versatility and adaptability in his previous role and he has brought these qualities to his new post. I particularly want to thank him for his commitment to the Project and for taking on the additional work and responsibility involved.

Once again thanks are due to all our staff who have shown amazing generosity in the way they have been prepared to support the Project and one another by taking on different roles when needed,. This flexibility is particularly important during holidays or in the event of colleagues or their partners being affected by health issues.

Our growing band of volunteers continue to support the Project and the staff by generously giving their time and talents particularly in the carpentry workshop, furniture upcycling , PAT testing and helping on the van. They make a huge contribution to the success of the Project. Two of our supporters have also made regular donations of their high quality handmade toys and other items which have proved immensely popular.

The Board of Trustees have all given immense support to the Project in what has been a difficult year where the loss of major funding which had been in place for many years meant that new ways of sourcing grant income had to be found. A funding sub group was formed which has concentrated on this work and has already achieved several successful results. A special thanks is due to Joan Cook, who joined the sub group as a volunteer and has shared her years of invaluable expertise in fundraising with us.

Other members of the Board have concentrated on different issues. All of this has required additional meetings, correspondence and time given in addition to the regular monthly Board meetings. Thanks to this high level of commitment we continue to move forward with our plans for the future.

I also want to thank Julia Brunt who has taken on the role of Treasurer following the retirement of Jan Lee.

Thanks also to Garry Parvin who resigned from the Board in February 2023 due to work and family commitments.

Throughout the year we have continued to work closely with our many partner agencies to provide help to many people in need, particularly families with young children and people being rehomed in places often lacking the most basic items of furniture. We have also been able to offer good items for sale at affordable prices to the general public thus fulfilling our aims to prevent such items going to landfill. Thanks to our staff and volunteers, commissions from our carpentry and upcycling workshops have provided additional income and helped to promote the work of the Project at Pikes Lane, our George St shop and online.

I believe the year ahead will be challenging but I also believe that we will continue to work together to continue to try to provide those who come to us for help with what they need to create a warm and comfortable place to call home.

Treasurer’s Report

There is no doubt that this has been a very challenging year for the Project, marked by significant staff changes, the termination of long-standing core funding and our continued recovery from the disruption caused by Covid. Nevertheless we are delighted to report an operating surplus for the year of £15,485, marking a turnaround of the operating loss of £6617 reported in 2021-22. This is a reflection of the incredible commitment and hard work of the Project’s staff, volunteers, Board and the community of the High Peak.

In 2022-23 the total funds of the charity increased from £154,714 to £170,200, due to the surplus generated. This was achieved by both increasing income and controlling expenditure and will be reinvested in the Charity.

The need for the Project is ever growing and this year we provided 150 furniture packs to families and individuals in need who had been referred to us.

We continue to operate from our two sites in Glossop: the warehouse at Pikes Lane and the shop in George Street. In total we achieved sales of £180,525 during the year (an impressive 25% increase over 2021-22). We thank all those local people who generously donated furniture and are especially grateful to those that could GiftAid their donations which raised a further £1609 for the Project. This income not only supports our charitable activities but also, this year, saved 124,160 tonnes of furniture from landfill.

In addition to income generated by sales, the project received donations, grants and income from fundraising activities to the value of £76,149. In particular this year we would like to thank the P3 charity, Rotary Club, Tesco, the Mary Ellen Allen Trust, Derbyshire County Council, High Peak Borough Council and all those local individuals and groups who, despite the cost of living crisis, donated so generously to the project.

Whilst total income increased by £27,068 over 2021-22, costs were controlled, and despite multiple inflationary pressures, expenditure was contained to an increase of £14,999. Thanks are due here to all staff but in particular our Acting Manager who ensured a close eye was kept on this.

At 31 March 2023 the Project held reserves of £32,221 in our current account and £27,519 in an interest bearing account. This is in line with our reserves policy which states we should keep no less than £50,000 in reserve. This amount has been calculated to ensure a responsible closure is possible, should this be necessary. Due to increased costs this amount will be reviewed in 2023-24.

I am pleased to report that the Project is in a much better financial position at the end of this financial year than the previous one. We know there are many challenges ahead not least sustaining our income in a very difficult economic climate, the impending need to replace our van – so essential to our operations – and the need to resolve on-going issues with the Pikes Lane site with Derbyshire County Council. A further challenge is the everincreasing salary bill, the single biggest expense to the charity. A review of operational efficiency will be carried out in 2023-24 as we work towards a sustainable future.

In summary the Project exceeded financial expectations this year and, whilst not glossing over the very significant upcoming challenges, the Board and Trustees have much greater confidence of the Project’s sustainability and ability to deliver a much-needed service in the High Peak.

I would like to thank Jan Lee for her continued support during the year as the Treasurer’s role has been handed over and also our accountant Martin Galvin who prepared these accounts and supported us through the year.

Julia Brunt

Treasurer

Acting Manager’s Report

First and foremost, I wish to express my gratitude to Paul Marsh for his exceptional commitment and accomplishments within the Project since the beginning of 2019 until his recent, well-earned retirement. His leadership and determination to succeed, particularly during the covid lockdown and the challenges this presented, is a testimony to Paul’s level of service to the High Peak community.

I would also like to thank Joan Cook, who ably and successfully managed and developed the Project from its initial set up in 1997 before handing over the baton to Paul. Joan recently returned as a volunteer to help raise funds for the charity during these uncertain times. As I assume the role of Acting Manager, succeeding both Joan and Paul, I now have the opportunity to build upon their substantial achievements and drive forward this much needed charity into a new era of impact and growth.

My personal connection with the Furniture Project dates back to 2011 when I started as a volunteer. A year later, I embraced the role of Furniture Restorer and Warehouse Operative. Over the course of the last decade, I have witnessed the transformative effects of the Project; this served to compound my belief in its core aims and objectives. Now, in my capacity as Acting Manager, I am resolute in my commitment to guide the project toward sustained success.

December brought about a steep learning curve as I familiarised myself with the responsibilities of Acting Manager. In this transitional period, the unwavering support and encouragement from members of the board, staff, and volunteers have been instrumental in keeping the Project moving forward and in securing its financial stability. Their commitment fuels my optimism as we work together to navigate the Project’s future viability and growth.

The unfortunate reality of funding cuts at the onset of 2023 has presented a formidable challenge. This financial constraint shows that we need to raise awareness, attract a broader customer base, and strengthen our collaborative efforts with other agencies, organisations, networks, and charities to continue to successfully operate.

The overarching objective is to transition from grant dependency to self-sufficiency, a strategic shift that, while requiring time, is pivotal in light of the prevailing economic climate. Amidst financial uncertainty, our unwavering focus remains steadfastly on the charitable aims of the Project, ensuring the continued provision of essential household items to those in need. The surge in requests for assistance year on year demonstrates the vital role we play in the High Peak community.

I would like to offer my appreciation to the hardworking staff, volunteers, and board members I work alongside for their support to me personally. It is by working with a great team of like-minded people that I am confident that the Project will continue to support those in need, and we will be successful in fulfilling our present and future obligations to the community we support.

Availability and adequacy of assets of each of the funds

The board of trustees is satisfied that the charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund.

Statement of the Directors Trustees' Responsibilities

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Notwithstanding the explicit requirement in the extant statutory regulations,the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the SORP 2005, in view of the fact that the SORP 2005 has been withdrawn, the Trustees determined to interpret this responsibility as requiring them to follow current best practice and prepare the accounts according to the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), .

In particular, the Companies Act 2006 and charity law require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to :-

The law requires that the trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for the year.

The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and comply with regulations made under the Charities Act.

Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the charitable company on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charitable company on pages 9 to 28 for the year ended 31 March 2023 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) as modified by FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 15.

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner and the basis of the report

As described on page 5, you, the charitable company's Trustees, who are also the Directors of the Company for the purposes of Company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and all other applicable law and with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, applicable to smaller entities, and for being satisfied that the financial statements give a true and fair view.

The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the memorandum and articles of the charity for the conducting of an audit, and that the accounts do not require an audit in accordance with Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and that no member or members have requested an audit pursuant to Section 476 of the Companies Act 2006. As a consequence, the Trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements are not required to be audited under any legal provision, or otherwise, and are eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-

a) examine the financial statements of the charity under Section 145 of the Act;

b) follow the applicable procedures in the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement and scope of work undertaken

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under s145 of the Act. In carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act setting out the duties of an independent examiner in relation to the conducting of an independent examination. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charitable company and of the accounting systems employed by the charitable company and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you, as Trustees, concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of charity legislation and that, on a test basis of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures made, the financial statements comply with the SORP.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the Trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries and does not cover all the matters that an auditor would consider in arriving at an opinion. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide

Glossopdale Furniture Project

Consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.

I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtained written assurances from the Trustees of all material matters.

Independent Examiner's Statement, Report and Opinion

Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above, I have completed my examination: and can confirm that:-

The accounts of this charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006;

This is a report in respect of an examination carried out under 145 of the Act and in accordance with Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act which may be applicable;

and that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:-

accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by Section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and Section 130 of The Charities Act 2011;

the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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;

have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles set out in the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP).

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 financial statements to be reached.

Glossopdale Furniture Project

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023

1 Accounting policies

Policies relating to the production of the accounts.

Basis of preparation and accounting convention

The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , effective January 2016, , and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration, except that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice.

Going Concern

Our charitable activities are dependent on continuing grant aid and voluntary donations as well as trading revenues. As a consequence, a going concern basis is dependent on the future flow of these funding streams. During the last 12 months our fundraising efforts and trading experience have exceeded our expectations and there are currently no material concerns about the ability of the charity to continue operations. However, the trustees are mindful of their responsibility to regularly monitor income streams to ensure levels are sufficient for the charity’s requirements

The charity is a public benefit entity.

Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition.

Nature of income

Gross income represents the value, net of value added tax and discounts, of goods provided to customers and work carried out in respect of services provided to customers.

Categories of Income

Income is categorised as income from exchange transactions (contract income) and income from non-exchange transactions (gifts), investment income and other income.

Income from exchange transactions is received by the charity for goods or services supplied under contract or where entitlement is subject to fulfilling performance related conditions. The income the charity receives is approximately equal in value to the goods or services supplied by the charity to the purchaser.

Income from a non-exchange transaction is where the charity receives value from the donor without providing equal value in exchange, and includes donations of money, goods and services freely given without giving equal value in exchange.

15

Income recognition

Income, whether from exchange or non exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity’s assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably.

Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met.

All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs.

Donated goods, facilities and services

Donated goods consist of second hand furniture and appliances, which are donated by members of the public. No value is attributed to donated goods or appliances, when received, or to the cost of repairing or testing them. .

The cost of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt by the beneficiaries.

Policies relating to expenditure on goods and services provided to the charity.

Recognition of liabilities and expenditure

A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated..

Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities, and is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates.

Policies relating to assets, liabilities and provisions and other matters.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are measured at their original cost value, or subsequent revaluation, or if donated, as described above. Cost value includes all costs expended in bringing the asset into its intended working condition.

Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets to their anticipated residual value over their estimated useful lives.

New warehouse 7 % straight line
Polytunnel 10 % straight line
Plant and equipment 25 % straight line
Motor vehicles 25 % straight line

Accounting for capital grants and fixed asset funds.

Whether acquired with unrestricted or restricted funds, the asset acquired is initially shown in the balance sheet at the full cost of acquisition or subsequent revaluation.

As the related assets are depreciated, in accordance with the depreciation policy, in order to reflect the dimunition in the asset, a transfer is made from the relevant fixed asset funds to either unrestricted or restricted revenue funds, as appropriate to the terms of the original grant, if any

Pensions - defined contribution schemes

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal or as implied by law.

There are no endowment funds.

2 Liability to taxation

The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.

3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity

If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.

4 Significance of financial instruments to the charity's position

There are no financial instruments which bear any significance to the charity's financial poisition
