## **OPEN DOOR COMMUNITY ACTION TRUST** 

**TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **Trust Deed** 

Open Door Community Action Trust was registered with the Charity Commission on 17 September 2007 and operates under a Trust Deed. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The following Trustees have been in office since 1 January 2021: 

Mrs Margaret Parkes Mr Stephen Warburton Mr David Key 

The powers of appointment or removal of the Trustees rests with the Trustees. New Trustees are selected from appropriately gifted people from within Open Door Community Action Trust or wider relationships. 

The charity works alongside Open Door Church, Peterborough, which is based at the same address. 

## **Aims and Objectives** 

The objects of the charity are: 

1. The relief of financial hardship either generally or individually of people living in the Peterborough area, by making grants of money for providing or paying for items, services or facilities. 

2. To develop the capacity and skills of members of the sccially and economically disadvantaged community of Peterborough, in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet their needs and to participate more fully in society. 

3. The relief of unemployment for the benefit of the public in such ways as may be thought fit, including assistance to find employment. 

## **Activities** 

The trustees have taken account of the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in determining its activities. 

Community Projects that are run by the charity include: 

**Christians Against Poverty (CAP):** The Peterborough Centre works in partnership with the national Charity of the same name to provide debt counselling services to clients in their own homes, offering help with budgeting, money management, and bankruptcy as necessary, until each client is debt free. Pastoral support is given through a volunteer befriender. This work continued online and by phone during the lockdown. In 2021 we helped between 40-45 households, of which 9 went debt free. We helped to clear £124,243 worth of debt.

**NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **OPEN DOOR COMMUNITY ACTION TRUST** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

**a** The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note to these accounts.   The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

## **b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis** 

The accounts are prepared on the going concern basis.   This is dependent upon the continued support of the member churches and individual donors.   The trustees consider this is appropriate, on the basis that projects can be adjusted dependent on the funding available. 

## **c Income recognition policies** 

- Items of income are recognised and included in the accounts when all of the following criteria are met: - the charity has entitlement to the funds; 

- there is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable; 

- the amount can be measured reliably. 

Investment income is accounted for in the period in which the charity is entitled to receipt. 

The charity benefits from many voluntary hours and unclaimed out-of-pocket expenses contributed by a number of supporters. A number of small assets have also been donated, for which no value has been attributed to in these accounts. 

## **d Expenditure** 

Expenditure is included on an accruals basis. All costs have been allocated directly to a charitable activity and therefore there are no support costs to allocate between activities. 

## **e Funds** 

_Unrestricted general funds_ - these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees. 

_Restricted funds_ - these are funds that 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.
