REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

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 31 December 2021. 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 relief of people with a learning disability and/or associated disabilities in particular by the provision of help and support for them and their families, dependants and carers.

To provide or assist in the provision of facilities for the recreation or other leisure time occupation for people who need thereof by reason of learning disability with the object of improving their conditions of life.

Significant activities

Organising and managing various projects, events and activities designed to achieve the above objectives.

Public benefit

As a small charity, below the Charity Act's audit threshold, the trustees' report focuses on the main activities undertaken by the Society to further its charitable purposes for the public benefit. The Objectives and Activities section provides a brief summary of the activities which have all been undertaken for the public benefit. Although the society is restricted to its geographic area of Wokingham, Bracknell and their surrounding districts, it is designed to provide support to people with a learning disability and their families, dependants and carers, its support and activities are open to all without further restriction. Any fees charged to members and participants are at market rate, as we do now make more than a nominal charge for some activities.

Volunteers

The charity relies on voluntary help for a variety of tasks. This includes specific tasks on a regular basis such as The Trustees and the people who help or run our clubs and activities,as well as those who update the website or undertake one-off fundraising challenges. On an ad hoc basis volunteers help with office tasks such as: stuffing envelopes, data entry, making tea, helping at fundraising events, sorting out tombola items and doing tin shakes.

STRATEGIC REPORT

Achievement and performance

Charitable activities

The Society has continued to run a number of successful events and activities within the Wokingham and Bracknell Districts including family liaison work, activity clubs for children and adults, events and outings for carers and families of children and adults with learning disabilities and other charitable activities. In 2021 due to the Covid pandemic the Society continued to work flexibly, alternating between online and in person services and activities.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review

Financial position

Overall income for the year was lower than 2020, but this was expected. This was due to the Covid pandemic impacting on charities' ability to fundraise as most funders had offered emergency grant funding in 2020 but not in 2021 and we were aware there would be less funding available, plus it would be more targeted and harder to reach the criteria along with more organisations chasing the available funding.

Providing adequate funding for the Society's many services remains a very considerable challenge and presents the greatest risk to the Society's continued survival in the long term.

The Society is dependent upon various grants and in particular funding from Wokingham Borough Council and Children in Need. The contract for a Family Liaison and Carers Service from Wokingham Borough Council was extended until 31 March 2022. This service went out to tender in late 2021 and we have just been informed that we have been successful in this bid and funding has been secured for at least another 2 years.

The Society continues to seek funding from a variety of sources to maintain its success in future projects and is focussed on securing longer-term funding to ensure stability for the Society. At the end of 2021 the Society was successful in receiving a 2 year unrestricted grant from the Lloyds Foundation for 2022 and 2023. The Society also received grants from Garfield Weston and the Bracknell Forest Recovery Fund to support its Family Liaison Service during 2022.

Reserves policy

The trustees regularly review the reserves policies to ensure that they are at an appropriate level. In particular cash is maintained at a level to support the short and medium term needs of the charity. Currently the trustees aim to keep free reserves at a level that will cover between three and six months of costs.

The charity has total reserves of £138,311 including £333 of functional assets and £68,829 for restricted purposes, leaving £69,149 of free reserves. Of this, £37,753 has been set aside for designated purposes, with the remaining £31,396 available for general use. This is in line with the trustees’ reserves policy.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

Promise Inclusion Limited is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles dated 24 October 2007. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission.

Nominations for the election to the executive committee are considered and voted upon at the Annual General Meeting. The maximum number of members of the executive shall be no more than twelve.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF PROMISE INCLUSION LIMITED

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Promise Inclusion Limited ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2021.

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

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.

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.

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.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Office equipment - Straight line over 5 years Computer equipment - Straight line over 3 years

Taxation

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

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds, incorporating the general fund and the designated fund, 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.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

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.

Dear Sirs

During the course of your independent examination of the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021, the following representations were made to you by management and trustees.

  1. We have fulfilled our responsibilities as trustees under the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011 for preparing financial statements, in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework, that give a true and fair view and for making accurate representations to you as our independent examiner and for the financial statements which you have prepared on our behalf for the charity.

  2. We confirm that all accounting records have been made available to you for the purpose of your independent examination, in accordance with your terms of engagement, and that all the transactions undertaken by the charity have been properly reflected and recorded in the accounting records. All other records and related information, including minutes of all management, trustees’ and members’ meetings, have been made available to you. We have given you unrestricted access to persons within the charity in order to obtain evidence and have provided any additional information that you have requested for the purposes of your examination.

  3. We confirm that significant assumptions used by us in making accounting estimates, including those measured at fair value, are reasonable.

  4. We confirm that all known actual or possible litigation and claims whose effects should be considered when preparing the financial statements have been disclosed to the independent examiner and accounted for and disclosed in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework.

  5. We confirm that there had been no events since the balance sheet date which require disclosure or which would materially affect the amounts in the financial statements, other than those already disclosed or included in the financial statements.

  6. We confirm that we are aware that a related party of the charity is a person or organisation which either (directly or indirectly) controls, has joint control of, or significantly influences the charity or vice versa and as a result will include

trustees, other key management, close family and other business interests of the previous. We confirm that the related party relationships and transactions set out below are a complete list of such relationships and transactions and that we are not aware of any further related parties or transactions.

  1. We confirm that all related party relationships and transactions have been accounted for and disclosed in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework.

  2. We confirm that the charity has had, at no time during the year, any arrangement, transaction or agreement to provide credit facilities (including loans, quasi-loans or credit transactions) for trustees, nor to guarantee nor provide security for such matters.

  3. We confirm that the charity has not contracted for any capital expenditure other than as disclosed in the financial statements.

  4. We confirm that we are not aware of any possible or actual instance of noncompliance with those laws and regulations which provide a legal framework within which the charity conducts its activities and which are central to the charity’s ability to conduct its activities.

  5. We acknowledge our responsibility for the design and implementation of internal controls to prevent and detect fraud. We confirm that we have disclosed to you the results of our own risk assessment that the financial statements may be misstated as a result of fraud.

  6. We confirm that there have been no actual or suspected instances of fraud involving trustees, management or employees who have a significant role in internal control or that could have a material effect on the financial statements. We also confirm that we are not aware of any allegations of fraud by former trustees, employees, regulators or others.

  7. We confirm that, having considered our expectations and intentions for the next 12 months and the availability of unrestricted reserves, the charity is a going concern.

  8. We confirm that all grants, donations and other income, including those subject to special terms or conditions or received for restricted purposes, have been notified to you. There have been no breaches of terms or conditions during the period regarding the application of such income.

  9. We confirm that we are not aware of any matters of material significance that should be reported to the Charity Commission.

  10. We acknowledge our legal responsibilities regarding disclosure of information to you as independent examiners and confirm that:

  11. so far as each trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which you as independent examiners are unaware; and

  12. each trustee has taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a trustee to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that you are aware of that information.

We confirm that the above representations are made on the basis of enquiries of management and staff with relevant knowledge and experience (and, where appropriate of supporting documentation) sufficient to satisfy us that we can properly make each of the above representations to you and that to the best of our knowledge and belief they accurately reflect the representations made to you by the trustees during the course of your audit.

Yours faithfully
