AGE WESSEX (formerly Age Concern Southampton) OPERATING AS AGE UK SOUTHAMPTON TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charitable company's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), and “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)” (published in October 2019).

Objectives and activities

Principal objectives

Age Wessex, operating mainly in Southampton under the name Age UK Southampton, exists for the purpose of supporting older people in Southampton, Hampshire, Isle of Wight and surrounding areas.

In going about our work and establishing our aims and objectives, the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. We work in partnership and collaboration with other local charities, voluntary bodies, statutory authorities and organisations in providing education and assisting older people in need by reason of ill-health, disability, financial hardship, social exclusion or other disadvantage.

We are an independent local charity that has been working to improve the lives of Southampton's older people for 60 years. Our 10 staff and 90 volunteers run a wide range of activities to support the wellbeing of our city's older citizens and to help them stay connected to normal daily activities.

The charitable company's principal aims are:

Principal activities

Home Visiting and Wellbeing are funded entirely by charitable sources. Day Care and Information & Advice (I&A) services are supported by contracts from statutory authorities until March 2023. Within the range of I&A services, Welfare Benefits work, which focuses in the relief of poverty, was also supported by the Age AUK Warm Homes contract, and donations from Southampton Charitable Trust and Peter’s Trust.

Measures to recover our services from the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic were supported by Independent Age and Southampton City Council Infection Control Fund.

The NHS digital support pilot is funded by Southampton Hospitals Charity and Public Health Southampton (Contain Outbreak Management Fund [COMF]). Broader digital work is supported by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Community Foundation Recovery Fund and Vodafone.

During the year, with support from the University of Southampton, we were able to run a pilot footcare service, which will be valuable in developing a sustainable model going forward.

Finally, the volunteering service continues to be funded through a grant from Southampton Rotary Elderly Citizens Trust, with further support from the statutory authority Day Care contract.

YEAR-END REVIEW OF 2021-2022

The framework for the 2021-22 Business Plan was the Strategic Review and Strategy 2019-2022. The emphasis of the plan is on four broad goals, namely to:

OUR VOLUNTEERS

Many of our volunteers continued to be anxious about their own health, and trying to maintain capacity proved very challenging. We are hugely grateful to those who remained with us, providing vital support to Southampton’s older people, and also to those who joined us as new volunteers over the course of the year.

In total, our volunteers donated 4,330 hours to support the work of our charity, with covid risks clearly impacting on social groups and home visiting:

----- End of picture text -----

We averaged 88 volunteers across the year, despite 39 withdrawing, many for health-related reasons, but had to work hard to recruit new volunteers in order to keep vital services running.

Volunteers lie at the heart of all we do and provide the majority of our services. For example, in the Visiting Service, over 90% of the people resources devoted to the service are provided by volunteers.

Our charity, and thus our clients, benefitted from the support of an average of 88 active volunteers each month (113 in 2020-21), donating at least 4,330 hours over the year despite the ongoing anxieties related to the covid-19 pandemic; based on the National Minimum Living Wage, this represents a contribution of £41,135.

We are deeply grateful to all the volunteers who continued to switch and adapt their roles to meet the needs of older people, and in particular to those who have undertaken face-to-face activities, such as food parcels, to support those vulnerable older people who have been so desperate for help and companionship.

AGE WESSEX (formerly Age Concern Southampton) OPERATING AS AGE UK SOUTHAMPTON TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Stakeholders

Like all charities, we are operating in a rapidly changing environment, presenting us with both challenges and opportunities. Particular factors that affect us include significant pressures on local authority budgets, the increasing needs of Southampton's ageing population and the ongoing support needs generated by the covid-19 pandemic. We have maintained our close, supportive relationships with Southampton City Council, NHS Hampshire, Southampton and Isle of Wight Clinical Commissioning Group, local NHS services and the city’s wider voluntary sector to promote an integrated, person-centred approach to older people's needs, capitalising on our ability to recruit and deploy volunteers to provide sustainable support.

Financial review

The charitable company's income totalled £300,012. This represents a reduction of £29,200 on the prior year, due mainly to slow recovery of our day-care centre income.

The charity generated a small surplus in the year of £651. In the previous year, we reported a surplus of £34,584 owing to the retention of unrestricted Covid-19 grants that were designated to be used to further recover our services in 2021-22. Through a reduction in overheads (premises, IT and infection control measures), along with new grants for service recovery and digital inclusion, we have avoided a significant deficit.

Our staffing costs continue at a minimal level, with an overhead budget sufficient to cover only the bare essentials. The Trustees recognise, however, that operating at such a minimal level of resource not only compromises the Charity’s capacity to grow income and hence services to respond to increasing demand from Southampton’s older population, but increases pressure on staff, and makes the organisation vulnerable to a further significant reduction in income or other crisis.

We recognise that this vulnerability is due mainly to the small scale of the current operation and is best addressed by meaningful collaboration/merger with another organisation with a stronger cash flow and greater management resource. Addressing this vulnerability continues to be a priority for the organisation, and as we further recover from the pandemic, we will be attaching a higher priority on ‘joining up’ with other organisations in our network of Age UKs and Age Concerns. By doing so, we hope to deliver an appropriate solution for sustaining Older People’s services and deploying a greater proportion of the organisation’s resources into frontline services.

As at the year ending 31 March 2022, the Charity had unrestricted reserves of £145,276 – a decrease on the previous year’s balance of £166,800. The Trustees' policy is to maintain minimum unrestricted reserves sufficient to allow the orderly restructuring of the charity. At 31 March 2022 this amount was £74,000, and is reviewed bi-monthly.

Given the uncertainty in the economic environment and the limited funds available for investment, the Trustees have decided that reserves should only be placed in short term deposits.

In order to ensure that the charity remains a going concern, the trustees have initiated a significant restructuring of its operations, involving the loss of several staff and reduction of services to its beneficiaries. Cashflow forecasts indicate that, following the restructuring, the charity will have sufficient funds to meet its operating expenses on the basis of contracted income streams which are likely to extend into 2025. The charity will maximise all opportunities to grow non-contracted day care services, apply for core services grant funding and seek opportunities to fund paid for services such as footcare.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is a company limited by guarantee incorporated on 7 March 2007 and governed by its Articles of Association.

It was registered as a charity under the Charities Act 2011 on 26th February 2008.

The Trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year were:

Nicola Gurd (Treasurer) David Paynton Jacqueline Powell Fiona Price Philip Sampson (resigned 24 November 2021) Ronald Staker (Chair) Peter Stewart Jackie Wells (Vice Chair)

Trustees are either appointed directly by the members or co-opted by the Board and confirmed at the Annual General Meeting. Trustees serve for three years initially, after which period they may put themselves forward for re-appointment. New Trustees are recruited through suitable agencies and local organisations with the aim of reaching a wide range and diversity of candidates and providing the Board with a wide range of relevant skills, knowledge and expertise. Induction training emphasises roles and responsibilities, making use of Charity Commission publications, together with an introduction to the structure of the organisation and the activities in which it is engaged.

The Board of Trustees are responsible for making strategic and policy decisions. The operational and day-to-day decisions are made by the Chief Officer.

During the year, the Charity received 2 formal complaints, neither of which were reportable to the Charity Commission. Both were dealt with following the Charity’s complaints procedure and were resolved in a satisfactory manner.

The Trustees gratefully acknowledge support received from various organisations including our Independent Examiner, Fiander Tovell, Beeston-Clarke Accounting, Aura Technology and our solicitors, Paris Smith LLP. We therefore offer them our sincere thanks, as well as all the individuals and organisations who have supported or funded our services including:

OPERATING AS AGE UK SOUTHAMPTON INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Age Wessex (formerly Age Concern Southampton) (the charitable company) for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 13 to 24.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As the charity trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charitable 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 charitable company's financial statements as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Direction given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charitable company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I 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 those listed bodies.

I have completed by examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

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.

OPERATING AS AGE UK SOUTHAMPTON

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Age Wessex (formerly Age Concern Southampton) is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Freemantle & Shirley Community Centre, Randolph Street, Southampton, Hampshire, SO15 3HE.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charitable company's memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act 2006, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), 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 issued in October 2019, UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and applicable charity and company law. The charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS102. The charitable company has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charitable company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have reviewed the going concern of the charity and have begun a significant restructuring of its operations that will be complete by February 2023. The Trustees now have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the accounts.

Transfers are made between funds when adequate justification and supporting evidence is provided.

1.4 Incoming resources

Grants are accounted for on an accruals basis and allocated between funds according to the basis of the grant being provided. Grant income is recognised when the charity is entitled to it after performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received. Where the charitable company is required to repay any part of the grant a provision is made for the amount due to be repaid.

Grants from local authorities and similar organisations have been included as contracts for services where applicable but as donations where the money is given with greater freedom of use.

Donations and legacies receivable are accounted for where there is entitlement, sufficient certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured reliably. In the case of unsolicited donations this is usually only when received. All other income is accounted for under the accruals concept. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers. Donated capital items are included withing the financial statements at their current value at the time of donation. Trading income is receivable on a profit share basis. Income received for future periods is deferred until those periods.

AGE WESSEX (formerly Age Concern Southampton)

OPERATING AS AGE UK SOUTHAMPTON

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1 Accounting policies (continued)

1.5 Resources expended

All expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis. Expenditure incurred in connection with the specific objects of the charitable company is included under the heading of direct charitable expenditure, overheads are allocated to activities in proportion to their use of facilities. The irrecoverable element of VAT is included with the item of expense to which it relates.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Tangible fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised and are stated at cost less depreciation. Donated assets are included at their current value at the time of donation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Computer equipment 3 years straight line Equipment and furniture 4 years straight line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charitable company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.9 Financial instruments

The charitable company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charitable company's balance sheet when the charitable company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amorised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

1 Accounting policies (continued)

1.9 Financial instruments (continued)

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charitable company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.10 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charitable company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.11 Retirement benefits

The charitable company operated a defined contribution scheme under auto-enrolment. Contributions payable are charged to the statement of financial activities in the year in which they are payable.

1.12 Leases

Rentals payable under operating leases, including lease incentives received, are charged as an expense on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

1.13 Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charitable company has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement value.

1.14 Debtors

Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charitable company´s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

16 Retirement benefit schemes

In previous years, the charitable company disclosed its participation in the Age UK Retirement Benefits Scheme. However, recent investigations into the history of Age Concern Southampton's involvement with the Age UK Retirement Scheme have revealed that Age Wessex (formerly Age Concern Southampton), a company limited by guarantee ("the charitable company") has never been an employer in the defined benefit section of the Retirement Scheme. The ongoing defined benefit liabilities attributable to former Age Concern Southampton Charitable Trust were therefore not transferred to its successor, the charitable company, and have therefore been removed from the accounts. However, the charitable company has made a payment of £10,000 in respect of pension liabilities as full and final settlement June 2021.

21 Contingent Asset

Under the terms of the lease of the Padwell Road Day Centre (the “demised premises”) dated August 1985, granted to the charitable company (the “Lessee”) by Saxon Weald Homes Limited (the “Lessor”), in the event of a sale of the freehold of the entire site at 11-21 Padwell Road (of which the demised premises form part), the charitable company is entitled to “receive such proportion of the purchase money as shall amount to 11/52 of the total value of the property including any leasehold interest of the Lessee in the demised premises less 41/52 of the value at the time of such sale of any such leasehold interest of the Lessee the value thereof to be agreed between the Lessor and Lessee or in default of agreement to be settled by arbitration”.

The occurrence or otherwise of any such sale is not under the control of the charitable company and the amount of any potential claim is highly uncertain. Consequently, this claim has been classified as a contingent asset. The value of the charity’s original investment (in the land purchase and development of the property) that gave rise to this contingent asset is believed to be in the region of £174,000.
