Newent Association for the Disabled (Registered number: 04937256)

Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 31 October 2022

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The principal objectives and aims of the Charity remain to relieve physically disabled persons within Newent and the surrounding area by the provision of transport and such other means as the Association may from time to time determine and to provide recreational facilities for such persons in the interests of social welfare with the object of improving their condition of life.

VISION

Newent Association for the Disabled wants to ensure through its service provision that quality of life is maintained for older and disabled people living in the North Forest Area.

MISSION

Newent Association for the Disabled's mission is to:

" Offer older people and people with disabilities a range of services to help improve their quality of life " Pioneer innovative and creative responses to meeting the needs of older people and people with disabilities.

" Offer high quality services which meet the specific needs of older people and people with disabilities

AIMS

Providing high quality direct services to older and disabled people in the North Forest area

By providing a gold class community transport service through our fleet of vehicles

Responding to the needs of older people from communities in the catchment area.

Creating an effective and efficient organisation with sufficient income to sustain and develop our essential services that all stakeholders are committed to.

Public benefit

The charity looks to achieve these objectives, whilst demonstrating its charitable purpose for the public benefit by the provision of activities and clubs at Sheppard House in Newent and transport through the Dial A Ride facility.

Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 31 October 2022

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

INTRODUCTION

The Board of Trustees has a duty to undertake discussion and make recommendations on constitutional and strategic issues all within the context of its mission.

Each trustee has a special interest e.g. Human Resources, Finance, Transport, and Medical. The Board of Trustees are conscious of the unpredictability of its public sources of funding and as such seeks to keep a level of unrestricted reserves so that it can meet any shortfall of income over expenditure.

Income to the Association comes from a variety of sources, donations, legacies, sale of merchandise through the Charity Shop with Gift Aid collected, contractual through GCC with schools' transport, community transport with shuttle service, trust funding with grants for specific projects and direct payments from clients using the Sheppard House menu of services.

The securing of income for support and service development in the local area and the charity as a whole is always at the forefront in the thinking of the Board of Trustees and the senior management team. The Trustees have continued to adopt a cautious investment policy. The Association continues to seek to invest its surplus funds in no-risk interest earning deposits.

The bulk of its spare funds are placed with CAF Bank Ltd a subsidiary of the Charities Aid Foundation. Investment is largely in selected deposit accounts. These accounts have provided a small but safe return with the advantage of short-term liquidity so that funds can be mobilised for ongoing developments.

When applying for funds the Board has to ensure compliance in both the terms and conditions of the grant maker and Newent Association for the Disabled. In addition, all legacy income has to be spent as per the testator wishes. The income generation strategy reflects the aims of our mission and the priority objectives of Newent Association for the Disabled.

FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD PATRICIA HALES

Emerging from the constraints of the Pandemic we have had a strong demand for the day centre.

As you will see elsewhere in this report, over the past year the number of people choosing to use the Day Centre is increasing month by month. And it needs to be. As we are just, hopefully, coming out of an unprecedented global pandemic, which has affected those living with dementia, health problems and isolation particularly harshly, but, unfortunately, entering a period of great financial and economic uncertainty, we have therefore tried to hold our costings to the bare minimum despite increases in utilities, payroll and cost of food.

I'm pleased to say that this year we were finally able to resume many of our face-to-face services, providing help to those who were unable to attend the day centre or use the transport service.

The Dial a Ride service was severely impacted by the pandemic and is only now making a slow recovery to its original level of regular customers. The war in Ukraine has caused a knock-on effect to the cost of fuel, a lack of spare parts for vehicles when breakdowns occur and general running costs. The transport service we have provided for many years has never seen such unprecedented times.

The good news is that the shop in Newent has made an amazing bounce back post pandemic and is raising much needed funds towards the running of our projects.

Our CEO, staff and volunteers have been brilliant at responding to the challenges posed by Covid, quickly adapting to change, and going the extra mile to provide support to those most in need.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

As ever, none of this would have been possible without your commitment and energy. We're truly grateful and it gives us great confidence that we can continue, together, to make a real difference.

Chief Executive - Lyndon Biddle

During the last year our income grew by 9.5% which is excellent news in a very challenging time. Unfortunately, our costs rose by 18% in the same period. As a result, there was a deficit for the year of £25,307. Despite this, we invested in two new vehicles during the year. We have developed new schools' contracts, enabling us to increase our income from transport. There is a competitive tendering system for all these contracts and we have to demonstrate we have not only the capability but also the commercial experience to deliver an excellent service. Our income from the charity shop continues to grow, it makes an invaluable contribution to the Associations finances. The biggest financial challenge is managing cost increases driven by factors such as Government minimum wage legislation, pension contributions, rising fuel costs, and general increases in costs in a time of high inflation. Our core income remains consistent as it's from a diverse range of activities. This gives us a broad base which helps us in uncertain times. The challenge for us is containing rising cost pressures, our income from people attending Sheppard House, our shop and School Contracts increases slowly, and we need to ensure that costs don't rise faster. This is a challenge when the majority of the cost growth is driven by wages rising at a faster rate than income. The Charity's overall financial position at 31 October 2022 is considered satisfactory. As an organisation we value our staff and our volunteers. This involves willingness on their part to embrace change and be flexible. We are very fortunate to have such a dedicated team. Their commitment is the key to our success now and in the future.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

During the last year our income grew by 9.5% which is excellent news in a very challenging time. This was due to a combination of factors including the strong performance of our school's transport but also new income from a range of trusts and foundations. Unfortunately, our costs did rise by 18% in the same period. As we had all the re-opening wage costs straight away and income growth was slower. Despite this we still managed to balance the books operationally, with the deficit being mainly caused by depreciation of assets. We also invested in two new vehicles for our Community Transport operation.

Turnover for the financial year 2021/22 was just over £821,000 which is an increase on the previous year of just over £71,000. This was very good news and achieved in a challenging market place. The main contributors were some new schools' contracts, trusts and foundations and our shop which continues to go from strength to strength (when open). Our charity is built on very solid foundations and it is our aim to ensure we continue to provide an excellent service to our clients, whilst maintaining our financial stability.

We have also developed new schools' contracts, enabling us to increase our income from transport. There is a competitive tendering system for all these contracts and we have to demonstrate we have not only the capability but also the commercial experience to deliver an excellent service. Our income from the charity shop bounced back very quickly from the effects of the pandemic. It makes an invaluable contribution to the Associations finances. The biggest financial challenge is managing cost increases driven by factors such as Government minimum wage legislation, pension contributions and rising fuel costs.

The overall income of the charity has grown steadily over the last 11 years. Our aim is to increase income in 2023 to take it past £1,000,000

Our core income remains consistent as it's from a diverse range of activities. This gives us a broad base which helps us in uncertain times. The challenge for us is containing rising cost pressures our income from people attending Sheppard House and our shop has bounced back since Covid and continues to grow strongly. This is a challenge when the majority of the cost growth is driven by wages rising at a faster rate than income. The financial support from Government in 2021 via the Furlough scheme and other grants was essential and part of the challenge of 2022 has been replacing this income

Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 31 October 2022

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

We have consistently generated small surpluses over five of the last eight years. This changed in 2018 with a small loss. The loss continued, at a lower rate in 2019 as we began to turn the corner towards break even. Which we surpassed in 2020, generating a surplus and enabling some much-needed investment in new equipment. Some of the earlier losses in 2019 were caused by investment in new ventures and we are now reaping the rewards from this. Hence by 2021 we were generating a consistent small surplus. We also have come under rising cost pressure due to Government minimum wage legislation and company contributions to staff pensions. This culminated in a small loss in 2022 as we came out of the pandemic costs rose faster than income. This will be addressed in 2023, where we will once again return to surplus.

Sheppard House

We offer a wide range of activities to all our clients. Each of the activities is tailored to the individual needs of our clients. Our aim is always to be client centred and make sure everyone who come to Sheppard House enjoys their time with us.

We found that the continuation of the Covid pandemic in 2021 made the national problem of loneliness even worse. In 2022 we made a huge effort to try and overcome this by growing the range of activities we offer at Sheppard House and make sure they are available to everyone.

STAFFING, VOLUNTEERS AND COMMITMENT TO THE CHARITY

It was great to be able to renew the tradition in 2022 of our volunteers enjoying a well-earned meal served by our staff. We are lucky to have such a strong group of volunteers at the shop, Sheppard House and driving and this is our way of saying thank you to them.

Conclusion

There has been a terrific amount of change is the last couple of years, with a global pandemic and then a war in Europe. This has had a big impact on us and caused a great deal of uncertainty, but we have found new ways to develop our charity and make sure we stay relevant to as many people as possible. We are beginning to reap the rewards for all our hard work as the future looks bright for our charity. We have much to be grateful for and we go into 2023 from a position of strength and ready for whatever may happen.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Newent Association for the Disabled (Registered number: 04937256)

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Newent Association for the Disabled ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 October 2022.

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 31 October 2022

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.

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

As the Charity operates fairly efficiently with regard to governance, the majority of its resources are allocated to charitable activities, based on time allocated to each charitable activity.

Tangible fixed assets

Costs related to fixed asset expenditure in excess of £500 are capitalised as tangible fixed assets in the accounts.

No revaluations have been performed to date.

Due to the nature of the fixed assets held by the Charity, no asset is likely to be lower than that stated in the accounts and hence no impairment reviews are considered necessary.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Furniture and Fittings 10% on reducing balance Minibuses 25% on reducing balance Freehold Property 2% on cost

Stocks

Stock consists of purchased goods for the use in future activities included at cost. Charity shop donated goods are not included in the financial statements until they are sold or distributed.

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.

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.
