REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES 2022
Incorporating the Directors’ Strategic Report and Administrative Report for Companies Act purposes.
In order to ensure our reporting of activity and finances over the year is accessible to all, we have again this year produced this primary document, accompanied by a short video presentation outlining our impact, financial position and response to the Covid pandemic.
The Annual Report and accompanying film are available on our website at www.westway.org/annualreport
The Trustees of Westway Trust present their Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2022 under the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006, including the Directors’ Report and the Strategic Report under the 2006 Act, together with the audited financial statements for the year.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES 2022
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objects of the Trust are to promote for the benefit of those living or working in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and adjoining London Boroughs, by such exclusively charitable means as the Trustees think fit.
In the last quarter of 2021 we developed a forward-looking Horizon Plan (2022-25) which sets out the following strategic principles:
Our Vision: Happier, healthier and more prosperous communities.
Our mission: To dedicate the Trust’s resources to the social, economic and environmental wellbeing of communities.
Strategic Outcomes:
-
Encourage connectivity and understanding between communities and reduce barriers to mutual engagement.
-
Increase community and citizen participation,
-
Ensure greater access to the land, environmental improvements and increase space for community use.
-
Encourage access to the range of life chances and therefore opportunities to fulfil potential.
-
Ensure well-led workforce within an organisation that is structured for good performance and supports continuous improvement and staff well-being.
These outcomes provide the framework for future reporting (2022-2025), so that all our efforts, and crucially individual staff goals can be traced from personal and team objectives, to our outcomes, mission and vision. This will assist communications with our communities and show how we are meeting our overall vision.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The Trust’s area of benefit is widely defined as the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and adjoining London Boroughs. However, the intention when the Trust was established was to make
4
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES 2022
a local impact in North Kensington. In 2018, we made it explicit publicly that we concentrate our efforts on North Kensington - the local authority wards of Dalgarno, St Helen’s, Golborne, Colville and Notting Dale. Full details of our area of benefit can be found on our website at www.westway.org/ourcommunity.
We have referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit, including the guidance on ‘Public benefit: running a charity’ (PB2), and are confident that our objects and activities fulfil these requirements.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Independent Review into Institutional Racism at Westway Trust
Following the publication of a landmark Report in December 2020, finding that “Westway Trust has been and remains institutionally racist”, much of 2021/22 was spent beginning to address each recommendation in the Report, and solidifying our relationship with the independent ‘Community Advisory Group’ to the Review, who have been engaged to oversee the transformation process of the Trust, as recommended in the Report.
The full report can be viewed at www.westwayreview.com
Trustees have set a strong context for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), Anti-racist and Reparations work with a formal apology and by securing a statement of intent to engage further on the subject from RBKC. Our Horizon Plan built on a commitment for all staff and new staff to read and discuss the Tutu Foundation Report and we began a programme of awareness raising on the subject of Institutional Racism and Understanding Reparations, with external expert input and important local input. We have continued discussions with the Community Advisory Group (CAG) and made an 'in principle' decision to allocate Bay 56 to the stewardship of the African Caribbean community for the duration of our lease. We will enable a mechanism for this to be activated in the near future. We delivered a pilot grant programme with the CAG; committed to and timetabled the development of an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan and a plan to become an anti-racist organisation. We have allocated resource for the development of a campaign with our local community to deliver a Centre for Civil Rights and Culture (working title.) We have committed to a grants review with the goal of piloting grants in social justice and antiracism within the next two years. In the coming year we will conduct an Accessibility Audit of the property portfolio and undertake a review of the Trust’s use of zero hours contracts. In this year we have also changed the demographic profile of our Board and appointed a CEO with British Indian heritage to lead the organisation through transformation.
Grant Making
In the financial year 2021/22, a total of £183,038 was distributed in grants to 136 community groups and individuals. A full list of grants is available later in this document, grants include:

Rapid Response Fund
The Rapid Response Fund is designed for urgent activities/projects or unexpected circumstances when other funds are not available. 16 community groups and individuals received Rapid Response funding in 2021/22. £16,374 was awarded in total.
Grenfell Anniversary Fund
As the North Kensington community marked the fourth anniversary of the tragedy at Grenfell Tower in June 2021, Westway Trust provided financial and in-kind assistance to local community groups holding events to commemorate the anniversary. A total of £9,525 was distributed to eight community groups in support of their anniversary commemorations.
Fundraising Support
One of the most impactful ways we can support community organisations and groups is to provide professional support in attracting external funding for their projects.
The aim of the Fundraising Support Fund is to partner community organisations, whose objectives align with Westway Trust’s charitable purpose, with fundraising consultants who will work with the organisation to attract external funding.
Successful applicants to this fund receive a minimum of three days working with a professional fundraising consultant to identify and apply for external funding streams for their organisations; covering both project and core costs.
In 2021/22, £16,625 was spent on fundraising support for 18 community organisations. In future years we will be reporting on the impact of our investment on levering other investment. We will include for example, the amount of funds applied for by the organisations we have assisted and the corresponding success rate.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES 2022
Community Advisory Group (CAG) Pilot Grants
Grants were made under this pilot as a direct result of recommendations from the Review into Institutional Racism at the Westway Trust.
Eligible applicants applied for grants of up to £3,000 for the following purposes:
-
To sustain existing activity that is focused on delivering social impact* to the community.
-
To purchase an essential piece of equipment.
-
To increase functionality.
-
To enable personal / professional progress that will deliver community benefit.
We funded six community groups and a total of £17,132 was awarded. The lessons from this pilot will inform a future grants review.
Celebration & Events
This grants programme aims to support community celebrations and events, particularly those that give local talent a chance to be showcased. This fund is designed to receive applications for events and projects where this is either central to the activity or where there is a significant element of public engagement.
In 2021/22 we funded 27 community groups and awarded a total of £46,370.
Covid-19 Relief Fund
In October 2021, we launched a new, one-off grants programme designed to assist locallyowned small businesses in their recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic. The programme provided small grants of up to £1,000 for local small businesses and community organisations with an annual turnover of £100,000 or less.
This programme was designed to reach a number of organisations that would normally not access funds. It did meet that criterion, which in itself was an important outcome.
A total of £35,000 was distributed to 35 community organisations. This included a number of Westway Trust’s tenants, and Portobello market traders.
Sports Bursaries
In partnership with the operator of Westway’s sporting facilities, Everyone Active, we distributed bursaries for individuals in North Kensington to participate in sports programmes
8
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES 2022
at the centres, to a total value of £30,000. This programme of bursaries forms part of Everyone Active’s social contribution, as detailed in their contract with Westway Trust.
Young Achievers Participatory Grant-making Pilot
In 2021 we recommenced the rollout of a participatory grant-making pilot, aimed at young people in North Kensington aged 11-18 years. Applicants were given the opportunity to receive grant funding for a project of their choice. Grants of up to £250 were available for individuals or up to £750 for groups.
Participatory Grant-making involves a range of different methods and challenges. At its heart, this approach gives greater decision-making power over grants to the communities impacted by funding decisions. For this pilot programme, young applicants to the fund were asked to provide input and feedback to fellow applicants, with a view of fostering collaboration between each applicant’s project.
A total of £10,000 was awarded to 25 young individuals.
Miscellaneous support
In addition to the grant programmes outlined above, a £620 one-off payment was made to repair and replace damaged art work at Maxilla.
Bay 20
Westway Trust continued with a Service Level Agreement with North Kensington Hearts and Minds CIC, an independent community-based operator of the Bay 20 Community Space. The independent CIC was chosen as the operator for the space by the independent Bay 20 Steering Group, and began managing the space in January 2020.
Following the appointment of the operator, Westway Trust has affirmed its previous commitment to:
-
Subsidise Bay 20 for local community groups and to ensure it will remain affordable;
-
Ensure the building remains a community asset in perpetuity; and
-
Create a community-led steering group to oversee the operation of Bay 20 and the appointment of a community operator.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES 2022
COVID-19 response
The pandemic had a massive impact on Westway Trust in 2021/22. It would not be an understatement to say that it actually threatened the future of the Trust, particularly at a time when a new Board was in place having to deal with a transition plan in terms of governance and operations. Naturally, this also affected the speed at which key drivers such as ‘Community Centring’ could be implemented.
The Trust’s primary source of income is the rent received from tenants across the 23-acre Westway estate. This income is used to maintain the estate, and is put back into the community through grants programmes, capacity building, sports and fitness, events and cultural activities, and programmes aimed at boosting the local economy and creating opportunities for individuals and businesses in North Kensington. Had the Trust not been able to achieve re-negotiations with Everyone Active or had Everyone Active had to close due to the resurfacing of the pandemic, the Trust would have been left with an almost insurmountable problem in terms of replacing the lost income. We should not forget how serious the income pressures were for the Trust as well as for our tenants.
But with the arrival of Covid, this income took a major hit. A significant rise in bad debt leading to a fall in received income has meant that we have had to make some difficult decisions, while attempting to cushion the impact of the Trust’s depleted resources on the community.
While dealing with unprecedented financial challenges, the Trust acknowledged the importance of locally-owned small businesses to the economy of the community, and the importance of protecting tenants through this difficult time.
A rent concession panel was established to assess any requests for support from tenants. In making tough decisions on support for tenants, the panel considered things like the services and benefit that our tenants provide to our community, their previous track record on rent payments, access to grant/funding support, as well as their ability to trade remotely and online, any other government restrictions and the impacts of decreased footfall on their business, and the measures that have been necessary to keep themselves and their customers safe.
Learning
The area of learning was one of the few areas of the Trust where delivery remained at a good level. The majority of the Trust’s learning programmes continued to be delivered throughout the
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES 2022
pandemic This was largely achieved by adapting to new and inventive ways of delivering classes and courses online even as other areas were furloughed
The Learning Team showed remarkable resilience to continue to support the local community in a variety of ways. In the last year they provided:
Pop-up Nursery
-
Nursery hours from April 2021-March 2022 = 1152 hours
-
Creche hours from April 2021-March 2022 = 406 hours

-
74% of adult learners live in RBKC.

-
Upon completion of courses, 43% of learners started a new job or began volunteering.
The vast majority of learners reported feeling more confident (93%) as a result of the course.

Westway Community Street
In March 2020 Westway Trust secured £1,346,000 in funding from the Greater London Authority (GLA) Good Growth Fund to make significant improvements to the estate through a project called Community Street. Whilst this might appear to be a large amount, particularly when enhanced by
12
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES 2022
our own contribution, this sum when distributed through the many projects that we would like to see across the estate only touches the surface of investment required in the medium – long term.
The Community Street project accomplished a number of key milestones as part of the project development in 2021/22.
- RIBA STAGE 1 - Preparation and Brief , signed off in December 2021. During this time we have been recording the preparatory stages of the project. This included extensive site research: photographic study of the Trust estate, detailed mapping and audits of the existing estate conditions, engagement with key community stakeholders and preparation of an initial project list.
2. RIBA STAGE 2 – Concept Design , signed off in March 2022. This was built on the outcomes of the Co-design process delivered in collaboration with Lugadero where we have put forward a full list of potential projects. Consideration was given to equal distribution of the projects across the Trust’s estate but it appeared from the outset that the available budget at this point was not sufficient to deliver all identified projects. However, this wider vision has helped the Trust to establish a future direction and framework for further investment on the estate so that the successful Community Street transformation is achieved.
Inevitably the pressure on construction materials and labour costs will see a rise in the overall costs of this important project and we will need to prioritise the different aspirations that were articulated through our consultation period. This project is also an illustration of the importance of partnership building and supporting the local economy, whether that be with statutory bodies such as the GLA or with locally based operators such as Lugadero.
More information on the Community Street project can be found at www.communitystreet.org
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES 2022
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
A new strategic ‘Horizon Plan’ was agreed by the Trustees in December 2021 ready to start in the calendar year 2022 and the financial year of 2022/23. Like so many organisations, we have had to review our activity in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic and acknowledge that the impact on so many communities and businesses has been devastating. Our immediate response was pro-active which has helped set the scene for recovery, but operating in a post Covid world will be a true test of our character.
In order to survive and thrive going forward, we should remain hopeful, reminding ourselves that we must focus our efforts to become more purposeful, courageous, innovative, skilful and more determined to stand with those most in need in North Kensington, inspiring hope and offering opportunities for connection, growth and progression.
The Trust is currently engaged in two equally critical processes. That of ‘continuous improvement’ and that of ‘transformation.’ Both take account of the changing environment, the willingness and necessity to fully engage with the communities of North Kensington. And the recognition that we must learn from the setbacks, challenges and successes we have faced over the last few years.
The plan takes an outcomes-based approach. In other words, the outcomes are drivers towards our Mission and Vision and these are underpinned by a set of Values. We have paid particular attention to the recommendations from the Tutu Foundation (UK) Review into Institutional Racism at the Westway Trust, which was published in 2020, and honour the commitment to implement all the recommendations. Indeed, we wish to go further whenever we identify the right opportunity to do so. The plan is balanced, in that it considers the needs of our social, charitable and commercial operations, as well as allowing for unforeseen opportunities.
We believe the Horizon Plan and the rigorous approach to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion responds to evidence of need, that it is a commitment for change and transformation and that it offers a clear, purposeful and measured pathway for the next part of our journey with our communities.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Recognised Income
Recognised Income for the year was £6,772,000 in 2022 as compared to £5,980,000 in 2021. This represents an increase on the previous financial year of £792k. This increase mainly relates to the agreement with Sports Leisure Management (see Note 26) and the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions and the resultant increase in economic activity. In this reporting year, 2022, provision for bad debt has also increased to £4,278k (2021: £2,725k.)
The largest proportion of our income is from property rental £5,219,000 (2021: £4,561,000). We also received £660,000 in grants and other earned income (2021: £883,000).

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES 2022
STRUCTURE OF GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Trust is a charity that was first set up in 1971. Since 2008, the activities of the Trust have been undertaken through a charitable company, limited by guarantee.
We have a Board of up to 12 trustees:
-
Up to three are elected for three-year terms by our Member Organisations;
-
Up to three are nominated by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea; and
-
Up to six are openly recruited by the other Trustees against skills-needs and other criteria.
The Chair of the Trust is selected annually by the other trustees from the six openly recruited trustees and the community also played an important part in the initial recruitment process. This is part of our new process of community centring which will be seen across other key appointments in the Trust in the future.
No single person or organisation has the right to appoint Board members or exercise more than 25% of the voting rights in meetings of the Trust. The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has a right within the Trust’s constitution to appoint up to three trustees to the Board, which comprises up to 25% of the voting rights on the Board if the maximum number of trustees have been appointed, or a higher proportion if not all the Board positions are filled.
Trustees can serve up to two, three-year terms of office, although the Board may authorise a third term of office where it is felt that a serving trustee offers skills that are of particular relevance to the Trust.
Trustees are not paid, although reasonable costs incurred on Trust business are reimbursed. Furthermore, with Charity Commission approval, during the previous year we started to reimburse the loss of earnings incurred by two trustees whilst engaged on Trust business to an extent that was significantly above the level of commitment that could reasonably be expected in the normal course of exercising their responsibilities as a trustee. This arrangement reflected the particular circumstances of the Trust in unprecedented times but came to an end in February 2022. However, the issue of how we best support trustees from diverse backgrounds is not closed. We
20
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES 2022
will continue to work on a case-by-case basis to explore how we can enable the full range of talent in our community to become involved in the Governance of the organisation. We will also take up conversations with regulatory bodies around this issue because we must help shift the dial as to who is enabled to become a strategic decision maker and who is at risk of remaining excluded.
New trustees are introduced to the Trust with a formal induction programme. We also provide ongoing training and development opportunities, based on periodic skill assessments.
The names of all those who are currently trustees or who served as a trustee during the year to 31 March 2022 is set out in the section on “Reference and administrative information” at the end of this report. Further information on our current trustees is available on our website at www.westway.org/trustees.
The Trustees delegate the day-to-day running of the Trust to the Chief Executive. A recruitment exercise in spring 2021 to recruit a new CEO concluded with the appointment of Venu Dhupa who took up post full-time on 2 August 2021, although she undertook some work in the role on a part-time basis during June and July 2021. Her recruitment was another moment where the community were involved in decision making. Community involvement and the appointment of a person with empathy for this has been a vital step in the transformation of the Trust.
The work of trustees is guided by four sub-committees to the Board, each one chaired by a Trustee. The current set of sub-committees is as follows:
-
Charitable Purposes Committee : examines the social impact delivered by the Trust and guides the strategic direction of the Trust’s charitable activities. This committee also reviews and provides support for engagement and communications with communities and stakeholders;
-
Property and Place Committee : guides the strategic use and development of the Westway estate and scrutinises the Trust’s estate management land strategy and practice.
-
Finance, Audit and Risk Committee : oversees the management of risk and finance and supervises the appointment of independent auditors. The Committee also monitors the governance of the Trust; and
21
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES 2022
- People Committee ( replaced the Remuneration Committee and adopted a wider remit): oversees the development and implementation of Westway Trust’s People Strategy, ensuring that this supports the Trust’s overall ambition to become a truly community focused organisation. The Committee also oversees the recruitment of trustees, as well as trustee induction, training and development.
Westway Trust’s remuneration policy is as follows:
Westway Trust is committed to ensuring that we pay our staff fairly and in a way that ensures we attract and retain the right skills in order to have the greatest impact in delivering our charitable objectives. Delivery of our charitable vision and purpose is primarily dependent on the performance and efforts of our staff, which is the largest single element of charitable expenditure.

We pay at least the London Living Wage for all our staff other than apprentices and interns. Westway Trust evaluates each post against other posts in the Trust and market comparators to arrive at salary rates based on a consistent and transparent process, designed to offer a fair pay framework for all salary assessments and decisions. All staff confirmed in post are subject to regular performance conversations, at least annually but quarterly or more frequently is strongly encouraged.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES 2022
RISK AND INTERNAL CONTROLS
The Trustees continue to review the risks facing the Trust, the controls in place and the effectiveness of mitigating actions. The Trust has a risk register which records risks and how they are mitigated, including (but not limited to) our income, assets, management, staff, partners and beneficiaries, reputation, financial controls and governance. The Trustees delegate risk management to the Chief Executive. The risk register is reviewed regularly by the Finance, Audit & Risk Committee and at least annually by the Board.
The Trust has a comprehensive insurance policy, reviewed annually, and currently provided by Zurich Insurance. The Trustees have considered the nature and extent of any risks and uncertainties that arise as a result in particular of the pandemic and its aftermath. Any material concerns have been included in the following table, which set out the specific areas that give rise to the potential major strategic risks for the next financial year.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES 2022
The Covid-19 pandemic resurfaces and leads to further lockdowns. Reduced income continues due to the pandemic impact on the Trust’s tenants and their ability to recover. This is further exacerbated by the cost of living increase where inflation has risen considerably in the later part of the financial year.

OTHER MATTERS
Going concern
The Trustees consider that the Trust is in a sufficiently secure financial position going forward for the next 12 months from the date these accounts have been signed. They have reviewed our financial position and financial forecasts, taking into account the level of reserves and cash, the effects of the pandemic, the cost of living increase and our systems of financial control and risk management.
There is risk in the current cost of living increase and the upcoming recession, however, we have processes in place to give us good notice of fluctuations to enable mitigating actions and we are seeing a recovery in our rental income. We have planned for debt recovery in the coming year which should see an increase in our income and we have made contingency provision to support costs and wages.
At year end a bad debt provision of £4,278k was held in the balance sheet to account for revenue that had been invoiced but not yet received. At the year end Trust still held a positive accumulated reserves balance of £63.604m of which £1.155m is unrestricted, £12.845m is designated and Revaluation reserve of £39.0 m. Also, cash deposit balances amounted to £5.576m. A contingency budget line has been approved for the next two years in order to counter the negative impact of increased inflation.
As a result of this and an ongoing review of operational and staffing costs, the Trustees believe that we are well placed to manage operational, financial and cost of living risks successfully. And that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operation for at least the next 12 months. It
25
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES 2022
is therefore appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual accounts.
Valuation of Property Portfolio
The Trust is required to measure its investment properties at Fair Value. This year a report has been prepared by the CEO based on the 2021 Cushman & Wakefield valuation, which indicates that there has been no change in the fair value of the investment portfolio. The CEO report draws upon market data from Knight Frank, Derwent London, Avison Young and Carter Jonas. It also considers the condition of the property, compliance factors, statutory factors, the marketable value and the RBKC local plan for relevant context.
As we emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic the property portfolio is not subject to material uncertainty in its valuation. As we are concentrating on medium-term development and new lettings business we are well placed to balance medium term objectives with stakeholder responsibilities and relationships with our community. We are not in the corporate market where there has been a ‘flight to quality’ and we score highly with local demand, flexibility, and the dynamic development of the land surrounding the estate, which helps buoyancy. Whilst we are challenged on quality, design and technology in some of our units, this is counteracted by the demand for smaller industrial units, small-batch making units, the fast approaching implementation of our Community Street project and our connectivity and proximity to amenities.
The CEO report gives specific consideration to the valuation of the Sports Centre, arguably our biggest asset. Whilst income fell considerably, we can see recovery and with further development on the horizon and the fact we are making provision for an upgrade, in the medium term, we think the asset will remain on an even keel or may even increase its value.
In summary, we have positive indicators that allow us to plan for the future and a context that indicates us to hold the fair value of our portfolio at £56,625,000.
Investment policy
Historically, Trustees have set aside 15% of Trust land, excluding the sports estate, for commercial development to provide shops, offices, light industrial units and other suitable buildings that fit within the Trust’s property strategy. At the year end, approximately 13% of the estate was developed for commercial purposes. As the Trust is looking to invest in improvements to its
26
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES 2022
estate, the Trustees do not consider any other form of long-term investment to be relevant and we place surplus cash on deposit, so that it is then available to draw down in the short-term as the need arises. As well as ongoing improvement works, we are now looking to create a policy for longer term investment of the Trust’s reserves in order to spread risk and ensure the Trust’s financial sustainability.
This policy will be reviewed in future years.
Reserves policy
The Trustees set aside available funds from our income to pay for anticipated costs and for planned refurbishment, development of the estate and environmental improvements. The Trustees also set aside a small amount each year, when rental income is strong, to allow for some flexibility in periods of economic downturn. In this financial year, there were no funds set aside due to the economic downturn brought about by the Covid 19 Pandemic. (2021: nil). Capital commitments at the year-end amounted to £nil (2021: nil) see note 21.
In order to protect our charitable projects from the loss of short-term funding, a target for a minimum level of free reserves has been set at three months’ grants receipts for project delivery together with three months’ expenditure on the Trust’s infrastructure and property and estate management functions. Therefore, our general reserves target is £558,840.
However, our free, undesignated reserves amounted to £1.155m as at 31 March 2022. The Trust is holding these reserves to ensure we have enough capacity to undertake minor refurbishments to the estate.
Note 19 to the financial statements gives more detail on the purposes of the designated funds and the reasons for holding those funds. This policy is reviewed every year.
Treasury policy
The Trust deposits its cash funds in a pooled deposit fund or with UK-based financial institutions authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. We only deposit funds in institutions with acceptable credit ratings. We make a variety of instant access, short-term and medium-term deposits to allow funds to be accessed according to the needs of the Trust’s forecast cash flow. In order to protect the ordinary activities of the Trust from unforeseen events while the Trust plans and undertakes estate improvement, we will seek to hold treasury reserves of £500,000 or more at all times.
27
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES 2022
Funds held as custodian trustee on behalf of others
The Trust asks most of its commercial tenants to pay a refundable deposit. It is our policy not to use the deposits to fund charitable or other activity. At the year-end, tenant deposits amounted to £498k.
Auditors
Our auditors, Moore Kingston Smith LLP, have indicated their willingness to continue in office and it is proposed that they be re-appointed as auditors for the ensuing year.
28
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITES
The Trustees (who are also directors of Westway Trust for the purpose of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statement; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made thereunder. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of the financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
In so far as the Trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditor is unaware; and
-
the Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WESTWAY TRUST
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Westway Trust (‘the company’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the audit of financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WESTWAY TRUST
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the trustees’ annual report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the trustees’ annual report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ annual report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
32
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WESTWAY TRUST
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. Or
-
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies exemption in preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and from preparing a Strategic Report.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 23, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in
33
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WESTWAY TRUST
respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are; to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and
implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the charitable company.
Our approach was as follows:
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the charitable company and considered that the most significant are [the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, the Charity SORP, and UK financial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council]
-
We obtained an understanding of how the charitable company complies with these requirements by discussions with management and those charged with governance.
-
We assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, including the risk of material misstatement due to fraud and how it might occur, by holding discussions with management and those charged with governance.
-
We inquired of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
Based on this understanding, we designed specific appropriate audit procedures to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquiries of management and those charged with governance and obtaining additional corroborative evidence as required.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
34
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WESTWAY TRUST
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charitable company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charitable company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume
35
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WESTWAY TRUST
responsibility to any party other than the charitable company and charitable company's members as a
body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1.a. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 Form and content of accounts
The accounts are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Trust’s constitution, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, Statement of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (SORP) revised by the Charity Commission in 2015 and FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland”. The order of certain items in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) and their headings have been adapted, as required by SORP, in order to present a true and fair view of the nature and scale of the activities of the Trust. The financial statements are stated in Pounds Sterling, which is the transactional currency of the Trust.
1.2 Cost convention
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of investment property and the measurement of financial assets and liabilities at fair value.
1.3 Going concern
The going concern of the Trust rests on its ability to receive its rental income and meet its expenditure obligations for the next 12 months from the signing of the financial statements. The trust has engaged proactively with its tenants ensuring that they meet their obligations and where they have experienced difficulties we have given concessions to support the viability of our tenants which facilitates the going concern of the Trust. The Trust renegotiated its agreement with SLM Everyone Active to ensure we are on a firmer footing going forward these (see note 26). Due to the cost of living increase and inflationary pressures, the Trust is continuously reviewing its performance against the set budget to ensure it is financially viable and able to meet its commitments. It has also been agreed in the new budget to make contingency provision to support costs and wages. The Trust has a healthy unrestricted reserves and designated reserves are available to support the trusts activities.
Although there are risks with this strategy, management has determined that the actions that it has taken are sufficient to mitigate the uncertainty and has therefore prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis as it has a reasonable expectation that the Trust will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
1.4 Critical estimates and judgements
The Trust’s significant accounting policies are stated in this note. Not all of these significant accounting policies require the Trustees to make difficult, subjective or complex judgements or estimates. The assets and liabilities of the Trust that are subject to a significant degree of estimation or judgement are: the fair value of the Trust’s investment properties; the cumulative amortisation and depreciation of assets; the timing of capitalisation of costs of new developments, dependent on probable planning permission; the assets and liabilities of the defined-benefit pension scheme; and the recoverability of trade debt. The Trustees consider the valuation of investment properties to be critical because of the level of complexity, judgement or estimation involved and its impact on the financial statements. These judgements involve assumptions or estimates in respect of future events. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The valuation of the Trust’s property portfolio is inherently subjective due to, among other factors, the individual nature of each property, its location and the expected future rental income. As a result, the valuation the Trustees place on the property portfolio is subject to a degree of uncertainty and is made on the basis of assumptions which may not prove to be accurate, particularly in periods of volatility or low transaction flow in the commercial property market. Other estimates that affect the Statement of Financial Activities comprise the allocation of support costs as detailed in policy 1.10.
1.5 Income
Income other than grant income is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided. Fair value takes into account settlement discounts allowed on sales.
1.6 Grants received
Where grants are received for specific purposes they are credited to the restricted funds of the Trust. Grants that are awarded for a specific period are recognised in the SOFA in that period. Capital grants are recognised in the SOFA to
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
the extent that the Trust has met the conditions for draw-down of those grants. Otherwise, grants are shown as income in the period in which they are received.
1.7 Grants payable
Grants payable as cash are accounted for in the period in which they are approved. Certain properties are set aside for letting to local charitable groups at one-third of market rent. The full commercial rent is shown as investment income and the corresponding two-thirds reduction is shown as grants payable. This is a departure from the standard treatment of rent under FRS102; the Trustees consider this provides a more useful presentation of the deployment of the Trust’s resources than a simple statement of the discounted rent. Grants awarded to Member Organisations of the Trust, including grants by way of discounted rent, are identified within Note 5 to the accounts.
1.8 Rents
1.8.1 Rents Receivable
Rental income receivable from tenants under operating leases is recognised on a straight-line, accruals basis over the term of each lease. Where chargeable, Value Added Tax is excluded from all amounts. Income arising as a result of rent reviews is recognised when agreement of the new lease terms is reasonably certain.
Premiums receivable from tenants to surrender their lease obligations are recognised in the SOFA. The cost of any lease incentives, such as rent-free periods and stepped rentals, are spread over the minimum, non-cancellable term of each lease. Rents recognised in the SOFA in advance of becoming payable by the tenant are not available for disbursement on charitable activities and are transferred to a designated accrued income fund and are released as they become payable.
1.8.2 Accrued income
Under FRS102, the Trust must accrue for the average annual rents receivable under property leases irrespective of whether that level of rent is currently due from the tenant, as set out in accounting policy 1.8.1. Accrued income arises when there are significant incentives to enter into a lease, such as a rent-free period at the beginning of a lease or a stepped rental. The accrued rent is not available for disbursement on charitable activities until receivable and is held as a debtor on the balance sheet. The balance represents the excess of income recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in advance of it being payable by the tenant. The balance is reduced by instalments as the income becomes due from the tenant.
1.9 Property service charges
Income and expenditure arising from the service charge accounts of tenanted buildings are included within these accounts at their gross values. The Trust is accountable to its tenants for the expenditure incurred on maintaining these properties and, under the terms of the leases, the accounting records and vouchers are available for their inspection on demand.
1.10 Basis of allocation of support costs
Staff and other support costs are allocated to the various activities of the Trust based upon the direct staff costs involved in delivering direct charitable activities and on the estimated time devoted to the governance of the Trust.
1.11 Pension costs
1.11.1 Defined benefits pension scheme
The Trust participates in a defined benefits pension scheme under a local government scheme, the assets of which are held wholly independently from those of the Trust. Pension costs in respect of employees who are members of this scheme are charged to the SOFA so as to spread the cost of pensions over the service lives of employees. The current service cost and net return on pension assets are charged to resources expended; actuarial gains and losses are shown separately on the SOFA. Any deficit of scheme liabilities over scheme assets is recognised on the balance sheet and a deficit reserve carried in the designated funds of the Trust as explained within the reserves policy. Net pension assets in excess of amounts that could be recovered through reduced contributions in future years, if any, are not recognised in
42
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
the balance sheet due to the uncertain nature of such assets and the high level of dependency of the calculation of pension liabilities upon actuarial estimates that cannot be guaranteed.
1.11.2 Defined contributions pension scheme
Employer contributions to the Trust’s defined contribution Group Personal Pension Scheme are charged to the SOFA on an accruals basis.
1.12 Value Added Tax
The Trust is partially exempt for VAT purposes. Where input VAT is not recoverable, it is included in the accounts as part of the expenditure on which it was incurred.
1.13 Volunteers
The Trust provides volunteering opportunities in a number of its activities. These are currently concentrated in the Grounds and Gardens and the Learning teams. The work performed by the volunteers is well appreciated and is explained in the Trustees’ Report. No financial appraisal of the value of volunteering is included within these accounts.
1.14 Land and buildings
1.14.1 Land : the Trust has a 130-year lease with a total historical cost of £280,000. The land is included in the property valued as an investment asset.
1.14.2 Investment property : the Trust has developed some of its land with commercial building so as to provide a source of income. These buildings and land are carried at open market value as set out in Note 12. Movements on unrealised revaluation surpluses are shown separately on the face of the Statement of Financial Activities and the cumulative unrealised surplus is shown as a designated fund in the balance sheet. Investment property valuation is reduced by the cumulative value of accrued income.
1.14.3 Charitable buildings : buildings occupied by the Trust for its own charitable purposes (“charitable buildings”) are shown at cost less depreciation. This has the effect of setting the cost of these buildings against the income of the Trust over the expected useful lives of the buildings. Buildings are maintained in a constant state of sound repair; the amount at which the buildings are carried in the balance sheet is reviewed annually and reduced to the extent that it is considered that there has been an impairment of value.
1.15 Intangible assets
Intangible assets comprise:
1.15.1 Software: the acquisition and configuration costs of software, less amortisation. Software that is no longer in use is written off; and
1.15.2 Social investments : the lower of cost or fair value of investment in social enterprises, where fair value is assessed by the Trustees at the balance sheet date.
1.16 Capitalisation
1.16.1 Property developments : The costs of developments are written-off in the year in which they are incurred until the point that probable planning consent is obtained and the project has a realistic likelihood of being built. Where projects are curtailed, all previously capitalised costs are written-off.
1.16.2 Threshold : Goods acquired are capitalised where they represent an asset of continuing value to the Trust and the cost exceeds £1,000 per item or group of items.
1.17 Depreciation and amortisation
Rates of depreciation and amortisation are designed to write-off assets over their useful economic lives.
1.17.1 Charitable buildings:
- (a) Buildings are depreciated at a rate of 2% per annum on cost.
43
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
(b) Major refurbishments: depreciation is charged annually at the rate of 10% on cost.
- (c) Partitioning to increase short-term office space: depreciation is charged annually at the rate of 20% on cost.
1.17.2 Landscaping and environmental improvements : expenditure is written-off in the year in which it is incurred.
1.17.3 Office furniture and fixtures : depreciation is charged at the rate of 20% p.a. on cost.
1.17.4 Computers and software : depreciation is charged at the rate of 33.3% p.a. on cost.
1.17.5 Intangible assets (software) : amortisation is charged at the rate of 33.3% p.a. on cost.
1.18 Bad debts
Provisions are made against monies due to the Trust where the debt is overdue and recovery is in doubt. Debts are written-off according to procedures agreed by the Trustees.
1.19 Other financial instruments
Basic financial instruments are recognised as the amount payable or receivable when the instrument is first recognised together with any subsequent transaction costs, but modified in respect of trade debtors for an assessment of potential bad debt, as set out in policy 1.18.
1.20 Restricted funds
1.20.1 Capital grants : Grants that are received for capital projects are credited to a restricted fund. Subsequent charges for depreciation of those capital assets are charged directly to the fund in the statement of financial activities. The balance of such grants are released to general funds when they are considered to be no longer repayable.
1.20.2 Service charges : Provisions are made in the service charge accounts for tenanted buildings towards the expected costs of building repairs that may be required in the future in accordance with the terms of the relevant leases. Interest on the unexpended balances is credited to those balances. These funds may only be spent on the specific tenanted buildings to which they relate.
1.20.3 Other project grants : Grants that are received for specified purposes are credited to a restricted fund. Expenditure that is attributable to such grants is charged directly to the fund in the statement of financial activities.
1.21 Designated funds
1.21.1 Buildings funds : The balances on the funds represent investment and charity land and buildings. The capital costs of buildings that are met from the Trust’s own resources are represented by designated buildings funds. Depreciation is charged directly against the fund in the statement of financial activities.
1.21.2 Revaluation reserve : Unrealised surpluses or deficits arising upon valuation of the Trust’s investment property are credited or debited directly to a designated fund to indicate that any surplus is also represented by buildings rather than cash.
1.21.3 Refurbishment fund : Transfers are made into these funds to meet the anticipated costs of renovating depreciating assets at the end of their anticipated lives, such as the playing surfaces of sports facilities and the current commercial rental portfolio. In addition, funds are transferred for capital developments to provide reserves to meet, or contribute, so far as reserves permit, towards the cost of capital expenditure that is not funded by loans or grants.
1.21.4 Development fund : Transfers are made into these funds to provide reserves to meet, or contribute, so far as reserves permit, towards the cost of capital expenditure that is not funded by loans or grants.
1.21.5 Maintenance funds : It is the Trust’s policy to set aside an amount of its surplus in years when rental income is strong in order to allow for some flexibility during periods of economic downturn.
1.21.6 Pension reserve : The reserve represents the recognised surplus or deficit, if any, on the Trust’s defined benefits pension scheme. Contributions are paid into the scheme in accordance with the recommendations of the scheme

The Income from property for the year was £5.33m up £0.56m (2021: 4.77m). This was primarily as a result of Westway Sports Centre recognised income accounted for prior to finalisation of the renegotiated agreement effective August 2022 (See post balance sheet note 26). This Deed of Variation was entered to ensure the long-term viability of the Westway Sports Centre and its contribution to the Economic, Health and Wellbeing of the local community and the wider area benefiting from their services.

Westway Trust is committed to ensuring that we pay our staff fairly and in a way which ensures we attract and retain the right skills in order to have the greatest impact in delivering our charitable objectives. Delivery of our charitable vision and purpose is primarily dependent on the performance and efforts of our staff which is the largest single element of charitable expenditure. We aim to recruit, subject to experience, at the lower to medium point within a band, providing scope to be rewarded for excellence. We do not employ interns without pay. We pay at least the London Living Wage for all our staff other than apprentices and are committed to ensuring our suppliers do the same. Westway Trust evaluates each post against other posts in the Trust and market comparators to arrive at salary rates based on a consistent and transparent process, designed to offer a fair pay framework for all salary assessments and decisions. The pay structure is reassessed on an annual basis. All staff confirmed in post are subject to a performance review and an annual performance rating (an assessment of performance and contribution, based on behaviours and delivery of tasks and objectives), in accordance with our procedures in place at the time.

Restricted funds
Investment property : This fund represents grants given to the Trust to construct buildings that are let and generate income for the Trust. Commonly these grants have been awarded from local and central government and European initiatives for regeneration. Funds continue to be treated as restricted for such time as the Trustees consider there to be an explicit or constructive obligation to keep the underlying asset in use for specified, grant-funded purposes.
Charitable buildings : This fund represents grants given to the Trust to construct buildings that it occupies for the direct delivery of charitable activities. These grants may have been awarded from a variety of initiatives for regeneration or charitable purposes. Funds continue to be treated as restricted for such time as the Trustees consider there to be an explicit or constructive obligation to keep the underlying asset in use for specified, grant-funded purposes, and are reduced to the extent that those assets have been depreciated or reduced due to impairment of value.
Service charges : These funds, commonly referred to as sinking funds, represent monies collected from tenants through the service charges for the maintenance of the investment properties. There are several ring-fenced funds, each for a specified property. The Trust is accountable to its tenants for the income collected, expenditure incurred and refurbishment funds held for each property.
64
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Project grants : These funds represent grants received by the Trust for specified projects and which can only be spent on those projects. Income is recognised when the Trust is entitled to receive the grant and where there is no reasonable expectation that the grant could become repayable. Any unspent funds held at the end of the year are held separately to be spent on the specified project in future years. At 31 March 2022, the funds on hand comprise:

Designated funds
Investment property : This fund represents the money that the Trust has invested from its earnings into buildings that are let commercially to generate further income for the Trust in the future. The original cash asset has already been spent on the buildings.
Charitable buildings : This fund represents the money that the Trust has invested from its earnings into buildings that it occupies for the direct delivery of charitable activities. The fund is reduced to the extent that those assets have been depreciated or reduced due to impairment of value. The original cash asset has already been spent on the buildings.
Refurbishment Fund : This fund represents money set aside to meet the anticipated costs of renovating depreciating assets at the end of their anticipated lives, such as the playing surfaces of sports facilities. It also includes monies set aside for identified enhancements to the Trust's sports and fitness facilities. The refurbishment fund will be expended according to a 15-year life cycle plan.
Project funds : This money is set aside in order to ensure targeted charitable projects can be supported where future funding is in doubt. The funds also include amounts set aside to provide flexibility during periods of economic downturn and disruptions that may be encountered on the Estate due to major maintenance works. The long-term nature of property cycles and highway maintenance means that these funds may be built up and expensed over a 15year-period.
Pension reserve: The reserve represents the deficit on the Trust’s defined benefits pension scheme and allows for payments that may need be paid into the scheme due to the funding shortfall on past service accrual (see note 23). Contributions towards the pension deficit are paid according to a schedule advised by the Scheme Actuary.
Development fund : This fund represents money set aside to meet the anticipated costs of progressing identified capital development opportunities to planning stage, at which point grant or loan funding would become available or development partnerships are established. Development funds are anticipated to be spent over the next five years as the Trust's property development agenda is progressed.
Revaluation reserve: This is the surplus arising upon valuation of the Trust’s investment property and is represented by buildings rather than cash.
65
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Accrued income fund: Under FRS102 the Trust must accrue for the average annual rents receivable under contracts irrespective of whether the rent is currently due from the tenant. Accruals arise when there is a significant rent-free period at the beginning of a lease or where there is a stepped rental. Accrued income is not available for disbursement on charitable activities until received and the balance on this fund represents the excess of income recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in advance of it being payable by the tenant.
