TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 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) (effective 1 January 2019)”.
Public Benefit Statement: How we are meeting the PB requirement through our activities
Objectives and activities
The group’s objects are to assist, promote, encourage and facilitate the social, economic and environmental regeneration of the Manor, Castle and Woodthorpe areas of Sheffield – some of the United Kingdom’s most deprived communities.
The constitution does allow the group to operate outside its prime area of benefit when there is evidence we can deliver social return and benefit to Manor and Castle Communities through this activity.
The group’s vision: Proud to live and work as part of the Manor Castle communities.
The group’s purpose: To support community action that brings about positive economic, social and environmental change through the development of enterprising solutions.
The group's key strategic social objectives for 2020/2021 that enabled us to meet the PB requirement were:
-
to empower and support individuals to identify opportunities to improve their health and well-being, to improve their social and economic circumstances.
-
to recruit and support volunteers where we can offer them personal development opportunities.
-
to develop events and activities in the community that meet local needs.
-
to identify key groups of vulnerable members of the community facing challenges that we can work with to develop local solutions to local challenges.
The group will work with other key partners in the area and contribute to achieving the vision for the neighbourhoods.
Strategy for Delivering Public Benefit
The core approach of the group has remained consistent and is reviewed on an annual basis as part of the business planning cycle. The Board has affirmed that the core business of the group is:
-
Community economic development.
-
Capacity building and organisational development.
-
First rung community engagement.
-
Personal development support.
-
Support for groups to take collective action on issues that matter to them.
-
Build relationships and trust with local people – particularly the people who are hardest to engage through mainstream service delivery.
-
Raise the expectations and aspirations of the community.
-
Deliver specific activities that contribute towards social and economic regeneration and neighbourhood improvement.
-

MANOR AND CASTLE DEVELOPMENT TRUST LIMITED
TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
-
Encourage and support people to engage with services and training opportunities that stimulate social and economic inclusion and enhancement.
-
Support and assist other community groups and organisations.
-
Champion and advocate for improved service delivery within the area.
The group does not intend to replace or duplicate existing service provision or community activity but exists to ensure that no one in the area is excluded from benefiting from the social and economic regeneration activities, services and opportunities that exist.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the group should undertake.
The Board consider that the significant activities of the group carried out in 2020/2021 to achieve our social objectives were as follows:
To empower and support individuals to identify opportunities to improve their health and wellbeing, to improve their social and economic circumstances
This year has been a particularly challenging year as a result of the Covid 19 Pandemic. We went into lockdown just before this financial year started. We knew it was likely and had done some preparation for that happening – making sure staff had the tools to work from home and keep in touch with their client groups. We also became a Covid Community Hub taking our first referral for assistance the day after lockdown started. The Nursery remained open for Key Workers children, taking them from other settings that closed in order to furlough staff. We offered a range of support to people referred into the Hub from GP’s and other professionals, including fetching their shopping, prescriptions and doing regular catch-up telephone calls, doorstep conversations and using zoom and teams to keep in touch. We noticed there was a detrimental impact on people’s mental health, and this became our priority. Most referrals we received from GP’s were for practical help for vulnerable people, those having to selfisolate and mental health support. As the rules changed, we started to allow staff back into work settings on a rota basis and to do more face-to-face doorstep conversations and small covid secure group work. By the end of the financial year, we have worked with significantly more people than we had previously. The Board consider that the significant activities of MCDT carried out in 2020/2021 continued to enable the Trust to achieve our social objectives.

Almost 2000 postcards were distributed to clients across the S2 area via the Healthy Holidays hampers, Christmas Caddies, MCDT employment team, MCDT children’s centre and MCDT Adult Education team.
Volunteering- MCDT Health Champions
Planned volunteering opportunities for MCDT Health Champions supporting Forget-Me-Nots singing Group and Forget-Me-Nots Creative writing sessions. Taking place in Arbourthorne Centre Edenhall Road, S2.
Three volunteers attended Arbourthorne Community Allotment every Wednesday at The Spires Centre and are support by MCDT Health and Wellbeing worker. The volunteers are very independent and at the end of 2020 drew up plans to create a sensory garden area and make the allotment more accessible for wheelchair users and prams. MCDT Health and Wellbeing worker secured some funding to help with the sensory garden project which will start in 2021. The three volunteers have been supported to access a Forestry Confidence course at Northern College through the Health Champions programme which is planned for 2021.
Three of the four health champion volunteers that supported the Art Therapy and Lunch club have taken on other volunteer roles during the pandemic. They have been supported throughout the last 10 months to enable them to continue volunteering if they were safe to do so. Roles included deliveries and packing at the food bank, delivering food hampers for MCDT to vulnerable adults and families, supporting the Healthy Holidays Food and Activity programme. They have also been invaluable in keeping in touch with other members of the groups during a time when no physical groups are able to run.

We also made a quarterly delivery of activity packs; delivery of Christmas Caddies (includes games/crafts and emergency information for over Christmas period) and made referrals made to Age Better/Ignite Imaginations for additional craft packs and a hot Christmas meal. Plans for outdoor face to face projects are being developed, including: - Woodland Confidence sessions in Manor Fields Park outside classroom, development of Take Part wellbeing sessions in the York House Garden and Park Centre Community Garden. Potential wellbeing and growing sessions based at the Arbourthorne Centre S2.
STEPS (Personal development/MCDT Wellbeing programmes)
Face to Face Steps programmes have not taken place due to Lock down restrictions. Steps to Excellence (CBT) methodology has been used by staff when making Keep In Touch calls and taking clients on walk and talks. In preparation of the road map and coming out of lock down MCDT have developed 2 new MCDT wellbeing programmes, Aiming High and Take Part to be part of a pathway for clients. Take Part is presently being delivered via Zoom as a pilot. This intends to help individuals struggling with confidence and their mental health to get involved with community activity slowly and safely. Plans to deliver these programmes in outdoor classrooms across the area is planned. The pathway will be Take Part 8 sessions,(involves the development of 5 ways to wellbeing, activities tools and techniques including journaling), Aiming High, builds on Take Part methodology, with more CBT concepts.

Physical activity
During lockdowns clients were supported through 121 walks, door step conversations, phone calls, text messages and What’s App groups. Staff changed the delivery model but were still able to keep people motivated and do goal setting. We provided activity and ‘Move more’ focused activity packs with maps of local green spaces. We focused on moving more for mental wellbeing and were able to help with wider issues that were not just about physical fitness e.g isolation, relationships, reinforcing public health messages and linking to other services such as food bank, benefits and employment support. As restrictions eased we increased activities to small groups and developed a programme of outdoor fitness classes with social distancing that have increased the profile of our work and picked up footfall from park users.
The Evolve Running Group were provided support via What’s App during covid then as restrictions lifted organised runs for people moving onto small groups.
This Girl Can Project
Started in lock down and used a private facebook page to promote moving more, set challenges, share stories provide virtual coffee mornings and zoom healthy cooking sessions. Used to promote public health messages e.g smear tests and other cancer screening. The group had over 400 members and members used the group to connect with other people in the community and then find people to exercise with once restrictions allowed.
Eatwell Programme and Cook, Lunch and Share
Qualified Staff who would deliver this programme are being called upon to provide information and guidance for specific clients referred into MCDT service.
During covid formal programmes were cancelled so we used doorstep meetings with client's food diaries that were passed on to clients to complete when needing support around weigh management.
During phone conversations we support clients with advice around: portion control, cutting down on high sugar/carbs/fats, moving more, tracking their journeys, setting realistic goals
We constantly look at ways to improve our programme and ensure we are giving the correct advice and information. As mental ill health has increased, we have taken a small part out of our programme which are the weighing scales as we witnessed people been obsessed with weighing themselves and not focussing on the holistic approach, especially how they feel, which is the most important part of their journey. When we see clients on a 121 we try and encourage them to go on how they feel and to focus on how their clothes fit, which we noticed people's minds set have changed for the better. With exercise and moving more it is very important to bring the 2 together .
Norfolk Park and Arbourthorne Men’s Group
Provided: text, phone calls, zoom sessions doorstep conversations to participants. Provided activity packs and practical support around covid, vaccinations, energy supplies, scamming, adult education etc.
Diabetic Support Group –Kept in touch with individual members remotely
In December the team designed and created 100 ‘Christmas caddies’ which had a make your own fudge activity inside, craft resources and useful information from MCDT on available support locally, citywide and nationally. These were delivered along with a personalised postcard that was sent to all clients with useful information.
Delivered an online scamming awareness session for staff, volunteers and clients in partnership with Natwest Bank community team after reports of scams increasing over lockdown.

Cancer work
Work is presently taking place with Cancer Alliance and Weston Park developing a piece of work to enable local members of the community to access cancer services. Presently MCDT staff/volunteers and Dovercourt Medical surgery staff are attending Behavioural Science workshops to identify “nudges” to enable behaviour change. The focus is on lung cancer. MCDT staff/volunteers will engage the local community using community engagement methods including social media and targeting existing groups, providing information and encouragement to identify potential symptoms re cancer in general and attend their GP service. Screening and then action.
Supporting people with Dementia
We tried to support the people with dementia and their carers as much as possible whilst restrictions on close contact and our ability to run physical groups was affected. Our core offering aims to stay contacted with people, help prevent social isolation and keep people stimulated. These core activities include:
Welfare calls - usually fortnightly. To check how people are doing, identify any additional support people would like and to provide a social chat.
Doorstep visits - usually fortnightly. A more visual check to assess how people are and provide some face to face social time with people.
Activity packs - usually 2 packs every two weeks, either posted or delivered. Further activity packs were delivered in the run up to Christmas. These included hampers and craft packs.
Short walks - offered in order to support people out of their homes and increase physical exercise.
Christmas - We organised for hot Christmas dinners to be delivered to many people with dementia and their carers whilst they weren’t able to celebrate with family members and friends.
Arranged for Christmas further activity packs to be delivered to people which were provided by Heeley City Farm and Age Better Sheffield.
Digital inclusion - A significant amount of time has been done to equip people with equipment to get online and to be able to use some basic function so they can join Zoom groups aimed at supporting them through continued lockdown and help prevent social isolation. Many of these people have never used technology before and we have provided a lot of one-to-one support.
Enrichment for the Elderly training - Organised the running of the Bronze, Silver and Gold award training for staff at MCDT and others within the Manor and Arbourthorne areas. Attended the Gold session.
Carers Group -Continued to support a carers group through the final 6 weeks of the PKW organised pilot sessions
and have subsequently continued to support this group as we identified a need amongst the group to ensure this support did not stop.
Forget-Me-Nots music group (Dementia friendly) - The group was suspended due to lock down restrictions and members did not want to meet online. Weather did not permit meeting outside then moved to limited numbers outside and then inside the Arbourthorne Centre. Some members have chosen to trial the Forget-Me-Nots creative writing sessions as an alternative. Successful small grants bid has been submitted by Forget-Me-Nots to develop both creative writing, mindfulness and music to develop into drama for the mind and plan to work in co-production with Arbourthorne centre to develop stage area and potential use of green space to the rear of the building as a performance area.
Spires Dementia café - During lockdown this activity has been combined with the Spires Café and been taken online as a Zoom group. This group is now called the Spires Café. It’s held once a week and has been promoted to all members who have attended either group and to new referrals.
This online version of the café continues to run weekly. It provides a social space for people to meet and reduce social isolation. This has proved invaluable in the during the 3rd national lockdown and also for those who continue to stay home due to their relative vulnerability. The group has expanded, in part due to the work on digital inclusion which has enabled some people to join an online group for the first time. The group has provided a friendly welcoming space where people have made new friends and feel part of a shared experience.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
We continue to have a range of fun games each week such as Pictionary, bingo, Play Your Card Right. As we can’t meet physically we were able to celebrate birthdays together and held a Christmas party with party food such as cake, crackers, biscuits and sausage rolls delivered to everyone's homes. Although the number of attendees has grown the group still has fairly low numbers. But we have recruited several new people to the group and supported these people with digital support. However, the people who do attend have gained confidence in using technology which gives them opportunities to join more online groups and access more online resources.
Arbourthorne Strength & Stamina - Members of the Arbourthorne Strength and Stamina group have continued to receive acidity packs, doorstep visits and welfare calls. Although, due to resources, they no longer receive a custom activity pack but the more generic one produced by Enrichment for the Elderly. Once a month they do receive an additional pack which includes looks to enhance their wellbeing through the 5 Ways to Wellbeing with suggestions, ideas and information. We started providing some short walks with people who would like this. In December we usually organise a Community Christmas Dinner at the Arbourthorne Centre but as this couldn’t go ahead, Christmas food hampers were delivered to members of the Strength and Stamina group that opted to receive one.
Through this contact with people we are able to quickly identify situations which need greater support and can thus put more effort into meeting people more urgent needs.
Continued close working with PKW Dementia Workers Partnership and Dementia Advice Sheffield where we played an active role in meetings, training sessions and initiating case reviews.
Healthy Holidays - We also delivered the Healthy Holidays programme for families with children eligible for free school meals in South East Sheffield across the February half term, Easter and Summer holidays reaching approximately 1200 children a week. Due to the pandemic we delivered Food Hampers and recipe / activity booklets, craft packs and skipping ropes, hula hoops and cricket sets for children and families to use at home. The main focus was to make sure children did not go hungry over the school holidays with families facing financial pressures during the pandemic. We worked with Hallam FM Cash for Kids to apply for Christmas presents and ran three pop up ‘shops’ over three days in December. Parents were identified by schools if they would benefit from this support and then referred to the pop up ‘shops’ to collect free Christmas presents for each of their children. This project was part of the Holiday Hunger project and lots of local families benefited. The families identified were struggling to make ends meet and the children were at risk of waking up on Christmas day with no presents.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
March 2020 -The Lockdown Story: When lock down 1.0 began in March 2020 we all wondered how we would get through. Our group activities and support had to stop so as a team we took the decision to take our activities and support out to the families.
-
We set up What’s App groups in each area so parents / carers had a platform to share their worries, fears, successes and support each other in a safe way. These groups were moderated and supported by the team.
-
We decided to make up craft packs for every child every other week for those families that requested them
-
We knew that access to fresh fruit and veg was an issue for many families and we wanted to help with that.
-
We decided to keep up with the healthy eating part of the programme and provide families with recipes and essential ingredients to carry on cooking with their families.
We were fortunate to be able to access support from the coronavirus support fund and we used this to support:
-
450 families.
-
Provided and distributed 6,600 activity packs.
-
Provided and distributed 3,324 fruit and vegetable packs.
-
Developed and distributed 60 recipes and ingredients to get families cooking.
Community Development
Adult Learning: This year we have delivered a number of non-accredited community adult learning courses across the East (not including Darnall). This year has particularly difficult, with no delivery at the end of last academic year and a switch to mainly online engagement and learning due to the Covid 19 restrictions, we have still however support 98 learners onto courses and 173 engagements. (end of academic year 2020/2021). The team have works intensely with learners to support them with accessing learning online, by hand holding through digital support, as well as referring to other services for support with ESOL, Health, housing and financial support.
The demands from FACES have been extreme to say the least for both out staff and tutors, Lea and Cheryl have supported tutors with the new systems and paperwork that is extremely bureaucratic and time consuming, all changes have been implemented late with no training or briefings for tutors of sub-contractors and have taken the focus away from the learner’s experience. All paperwork has been moved online with internal changes and plans at FACES impacting negatively on community learning and its objectives. The team have worked hard this year and have had a very positive impact on the individuals that they have supported through the IAG.
Staff also worked across the area as part of the Covid effort to do telephone and zoom calls helping to reduce social isolation for shielding and delivering parcels and prescriptions.
Echo: This year has seen changes to the delivery at ECHO, the shop and project has not been open other than to support the healthy holidays provision in summer 2020 and supporting food bank clients with access to clothing parcels. Charlotte was redeployed to other areas of the Covid-19 effort supporting individuals and delivering food parcels and prescriptions. The project in 2020/2021 will reopen and has plans to develop new initiatives, in partnership with other groups and projects.
Wybourn Corner House- Due to Covid restrictions no activity took part in Wybourn corner house. MCDT Development worker has kept in contact with core group of volunteers and partnership work with housing association to develop new and emerging community centre to replace Wybourn Corner House. Pop up art projects are proposed to help create an art installation on the community centre by the community. The building once completed will have space for healthy eating projects, family support projects and gardening projects. This will be delivered by the community, supported by MCDT Development worker, for the community in partnership with local service provide.

Networks: during the year maintaining and developing networks became a priority and we redeveloped the Community Development delivery network which set several priorities to focus on. The main areas currently been worked on by a number of partners included Food Poverty and digital inclusion. The outcome of the work was to develop a Digital Inclusion strategy for the area and a project to enable families to access and learn in a safe environment the benefits of technology. We are working with Matrec to identify ways that we can develop pathway to learning together, as well as developing the digital offer as part of the wider strategy We also re launched the Children and Young People Providers network to support the coordination of the Healthy Holidays programme.
Wybourn community centre: Work has been ongoing with Great Places and the Corner House Steering Group on the new Community Centre in Wybourn as well as a piece of Community artwork.
Arbourthorne Centre: because of the increased demand for access to community events and activities following on from Covid – 19. I have established a small working group who will work to build capacity from the building through community engagement events and community development. A CIL bid was submitted in February 2020 but no response has yet been received.
Lower Manor & responding to other local issues: we attend the Manor Action Group and facilitate any work/delivery that comes from that meeting which has included a task and finish group to focus on youth nuisance/ASB in and around lower manor, and now focusing on Fairleigh. Park Library Community Garden: facilitated gardening group.
On 15 December 2020 a small memorial event was organised to mark the anniversary of the Sheffield Blitz memorial in City Road Cemetery, the event was small due to Covid restrictions and was attended by community members and representatives.
Park Centre, a key community resource centre continued to deliver but in a different way. The Pantry continued to operate from Park Centre during the Pandemic providing support to families, not in crisis but struggling to make ends meet. They pay a small membership fee (£2.50) and are them able to access £25 of food. The project involved 2 part time members of staff and 4 volunteers who contributed 470 hours in the Pantry and as delivery drivers.
72 members provided with a service. 1952 shopping bags filled.
The staff in Park Centre had to deliver things differently because the Centre was in effect closed apart from the Pantry which was a delivery service only until June 2020.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
All this has been made possible because of the Pantry as was the only project able to run from the centre due to Covid restrictions. It is also the one service that has kept engaged with the community allowing us to identify other issues people may have, not related to food. Our members still feel connected
Arbourthorne Community Primary School reached out for support with delivering food hampers to families isolating and on free school meals. Between 100 and 150 hampers were delivered by MCDT staff each week in December.
2020/2021 has been a different year for delivery, focusing on other areas and allowing time to review priorities. Community Development Coordinator was furloughed for part of the year, during that time they volunteered at S2 foodbank April to July 2020.
Supporting People into Work
The Employment team continued to offer a service remotely, using technology, telephone support and doorstep support. The team had contracts to deliver supporting people with mental health issues, people with learning disabilities, people with physical disabilities and those furthest away from employment. The team successful achieved all the outcomes.
The team recruited 261 people onto the programme of which 122 started a job during the pandemic.
The team supported 64 people to take up training opportunities. The team engaged with 63 different employers, seeking opportunities for their clients.
In terms of achievements and the diversity of the communities we reach:
-
26 people with Learning Disabilities engaged.
-
29 people with Physical disabilities engaged.
-
73 people from BAME backgrounds engaged.
-
37 people with mental health issues engaged.
-
63 people over 50 engaged; and
-
46 people who engaged had over 2 years’ experience of unemployment.
The team have achieved all the contractual outputs despite the lockdowns and pandemic which is a real achievement and one that stands out.
Early Years: Sunshine Nursery
The nursery is a key service that MCDT continues to offer. It is a key thread in our strategy, enabling families to work, providing an exceptional early start for under 5-year-olds, ensuring they are ready for school. MCDT believes that education and access to employment are the best routes out of structural disadvantage. We remained open during the pandemic to ensure that the essential Key Workers had access to early years provision to enable them to continue to go to work. The led to a number of referrals of children that came from other settings that had chosen to close.
The numbers have remained buoyant during the year, with the average number of children on roll being 104. It has been notable that the number of 30-hour FEL places has doubled from April 2020 to September 2020, indicating more working parents accessing the nursery as only working parents qualify for this provision. We have a significant number of under 2-year-olds. Many nursery settings do not take under two’s because of the cost of maintaining the ratios.

Parents Are Experts: linked to the nursery, whilst the course was not able to be delivered face to face, work has been done to prepare for post pandemic and to build relationships with schools, local authorities and create a pipeline of demand for when we can deliver the courses.
Partnership working
We communicated with partners via email and worked closely with partners to cascade information and worked together to deliver community hub services e.g. identifying people in need, sourcing resources, sharing staff and volunteers etc.
All the small grants pot has been allocated. Funding projects:
-
Forest Skills.
-
Level Up project with Sheffield Afro Caribbean Mental Health Association.
-
Shine Academy – Weight management for young people project.
-
Healer Steelers – Men's mental wellbeing support group.
-
Arbourthorne Community Engagement project.
-
York House Community Engagement project.
-
Creative writing project.
We supported smaller, core partners throughout by pooling resources, sharing covid information and practices and using underspend (from unspent room bookings etc.) to help smaller organisations to keep going.
Primary Care Network - We worked closely with our PCN. Some staff attend online MDT surgery meetings. We also worked together on the Mental Health transformation project and to promote vaccine uptake and will be delivered vaccine promotion as part of a CCG project.
We developed a project with our PCN, Cancer Alliance and Weston Park Hospital to increase numbers of people attending surgeries with potential cancer and then engaging with services. Summary
Overall it has been challenging year, however, thanks to the dedication of ALL staff, those working from home, those delivering on the frontline and those we had to furlough, we have still managed to achieve a huge amount of positive outcomes for local people who otherwise may have been isolated, without support and suffering worse outcomes that they have. The Board are proud of what the staff have achieved in 2020/2021.
Other achievements
We have successfully been re-accredited for Investors in People.
Service delivery contracts are delivered to meet specific contractual outcomes. During 2020/2021 the core provision of the service delivery contracts were delivered differently to what was expected but in consultation with the commissioners.

Outcomes and Impact
The people we work with often have complex lives and move between our services. We capture case studies to highlight the distance people travel with support from MCDT, the outcomes they achieve and the impact MCDT has on people’s lives.

Client C is an ex-offender who was living in a hostel and was on a methadone program, he was referred for help/support to help him move forward, find employment and get his life back on track. Client C had last worked in March 2020 but due to personal circumstances he had lost his job. On completing the induction and registration it was identified that client had no identification and only a paper copy of an outdated CV and required training CSCS/FLT to open job opportunities. Client C received ongoing support with CV writing to enable him to apply for vacancies and sent his CV to potential employers. Referrals were made for training and client C passed both a FLT course and CSCS including a health and safety level 1. After completing his CSCS I arranged for Client C to get his CSCS card due to not having any photo ID and also told the client to leave a message for his Job center advisor to help him to fund a birth certificate. I have also competed job searches and sent him various jobs to apply. Having supported Client C since October 2020, Client C has now moved out of the hostel and is sharing a flat and has used his CSCS card to secure a full-time laboring position.

- MW, 86 years (East Bank Medical Centre). MW has some problems with her memory. MW lives on her own in her home but is supported by a career who visits twice a day to ensure she eats and takes her medication. Her nearest relative lives in Leeds. She was a regular attendee at two groups based at the Arbourthorne Centre, the chairobics Strength and Stamina group and the social Arbourthorne Antics group. She’s always commented on how much she enjoys going to these social groups and now she misses attending. Many of the older people we are supporting during the pandemic live on their own and the lockdown has not only cut them off from regular face-to-face contact with their families but also with the regular friendship groups they used to attend. Social isolation amongst the older people we are supporting during the lockdown is one of their biggest issues.
Although my regular twice weekly call to MW does check to see if the carer is still visiting and that she has enough food, the main time is spend just talking with MW about her family, her interests and things she remembers in her life. She likes to talk about her passion of The Blades, reminiscing about dances at Midhill club and the Embassy Ballroom and her love for her younger sister. You can hear how MW lights up when she’s when talking about these important things in her life and recently she said ‘..it’s really cheered me up’. When people are cut off from this regular connect people like to hear a familiar voice and this helps to provide a sense of normality and people feel better for it. A lot of the calls to older people are trying to both provide some social time for people and encouraging them to call their friends from the group they attend. This emphasises the importance of the soft support we are giving to many local people at this difficult time. For many people this has been a big issue. Even before lockdown times people would attend their regular groups for a few hours before spending the rest of the time of their own. Another lady who, is also registered at East Bank Medical, said a while ago that ‘I might be 93 but I don’t see why I should have to stop in all the time’. This lady was attending 4 social groups a week. It is the time between these activities which many older people feel lonely despite having good supportive families who visit regularly.

Manor & Park Practice – Patient Testimony Without the invaluable support that my family and I received from MCDT during several weeks of the Lockdown, our challenging time would definitely have been so much worse. It began with one of her colleagues Holly ringing from Park Community Centre on 23 March. Holly said she was contacting various homes to find out if there were elderly and vulnerable people who wished to join the Pantry Project. I informed her that I was looking after my elderly husband, Brian, who has severe COPD and other chronic health problems, and that I expected my 87-year-old mother Tara to return home (from hospital) on 6 April. She has Parkinson’s and Charles Bonnet Syndrome, which causes hallucinations. She had been away in hospital and a care home for two months and two weeks, during which time she had fallen and fractured a hip and lost an eye. I knew a little about the excellent Pantry Project which supports the needy with groceries and some basic necessities, so I told Holly that it wouldn’t really be relevant for us. After my mother’s return, life did become extremely stressful. My mother has grown quite fragile and often hallucinates. I need to constantly watch her - day and night. Otherwise, she tries to limp her way around the house without her zimmer frame and is prone to falling. In fact, she has fallen a few times since she came home. I soon found myself extremely tired, sleep-deprived and unwell. Even telephone calls from relatives in India and well-meaning friends in the UK seemed an irritant – they were all either too far away to help or were themselves self-isolating or both, and some were giving impractical advice. So, when Tracy rang the following week to enquire how we were doing, I told her all that was going on and asked if Holly or anyone else could provide us briefly with some home-cooked food until I felt able to cook again. Tracy said she was doing some cooking to help families with children who were now at home all the time. Tracy brought us cooked rice and a lovely vegetable curry that lasted several days. Tracy’s cooked food was a wonderful practical help for us at a time when we truly needed it.Tracy helped in other ways too. She went to our chemist one morning to fetch my mother’s medicines. She has offered to do Waitrose shopping for us, but so far I haven’t needed to take her up on this as another friend has been going to Aldi or ASDA and has kindly done our shopping. On learning that the care agency

support that we were getting for my mother, was sometimes less than adequate, with carers not always turning up or turning up so late that they were missing her medicine times and creating other problems for me, Tracy wrote a referral for her to adult social care. Her regular weekly – sometimes twice weekly – telephone calls alone were a great source of support for me. It was so reassuring to know that there was a very practical, resourceful and caring woman at the other end of the line. Through my community involvement with Park Community Centre, I have long been aware of what an asset Tracy is to our Centre and to our community. But my family and I have now personally benefitted from her kindness and concern. All three of us are most grateful for her friendly reaching out to support us during this pandemic lockout in various practical ways.
Financial review - MCDT the charitable company

Reserves policy - restricted funds
Restricted funds are managed rigorously and are not allowed to become negative.
If a restricted fund experiences clawback then such a clawback is funded out of unrestricted funds and not restricted funds.

MANOR AND CASTLE DEVELOPMENT TRUST LIMITED
TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
It is the policy of the group that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the group’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the group is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
The trustees consider that the group is exposed to several significant risks. These risks are assessed by the Senior Staff Team and The Board and a formal risk register is collated annually and reviewed regularly. Given the dynamism of the sector in which the group operates the ongoing risk profile is continually assessed by The Senior Staff Team who report accordingly to The Board.
Charity Governance Code for Larger Charities 2017
The Trustees have undertaken a comprehensive review of the Boards performance, measured against the Seven Principles contained in the recently published Charity Governance Code for Larger Charities 2017. A Paper was presented to the Board in September 2017 with an evaluation of how the Trust Board was delivering against the key outcomes recommended. The Board trustees contributed to the evaluation. Overall MCDT meets the vast majority of the key outcomes. The review has identified areas in which the Trust Board could improve and the CEO developed an Action Plan to address those areas and the Board has started to implement the recommendations. The Board will review annually.
The Board are committed to ensuring that the Community Development and Engagement Team continue to deliver community engagement services. The activities of this team are the core reason for MCDT’s existence. The Board review the purpose and structure of the development activity regularly.
The Board are committed to pursuing projects complementary to our objectives and to maximise the return on our assets.
COVID-19
Towards the end of the financial year the pandemic led to a National Lockdown. MCDT moved quickly to establish itself as a Community Hub, offering practical support including shopping, food parcels and prescription collection for people shielding and self-isolating. We also offered Keep In Touch calls to support people who were socially isolated and / or dealing with mental health issues. We took our first referral on 24 March 2020. All staff were prepared to work from home the day after lockdown was announced and were able to continue to support remotely their existing clients, either by phone, social media, text messaging or Zoom. The contracts we had won were honoured and most staff employed to deliver the social objectives continued to work including the health and wellbeing, advocacy and employment teams.
We also kept the nursery open to provide vital childcare for keyworkers and we started to take children from other pre-school settings as those settings started to close. We produced our COVID-19 Risk Assessments within the early stages of the pandemic, reviewed by our H&S expert and signed off by the CEO. The referrals mainly came from the GP practices we are in partnership with and we co-designed a COVID-19 social prescription to monitor demand and needs. At the end of the financial year we had set ourselves up to be able to fulfil our social objectives albeit in a different way.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Our trading subsidiary Parkway Business Centre Limited has also been affected with a number of tenants leaving, the effect of which has been to reduce our source of unrestricted trading income. However we have put a number of measures in place and the layout of the Quadrant lends itself to social distancing and the higher level of cleanliness required. Although we are down on our normal occupancy, past history and the continued number of enquiries despite the lockdown mean that we expect tenant numbers to bounce back relatively quickly once conditions allow.
The charity has also been successful in raising considerable grant funding for our charitable activities and we have an excellent track record, both in raising funds and delivering the projects. We expect this to continue and with our partnerships across the city mean we are as well placed moving forwards.
Structure, governance and management
The organisation (‘MCDT’) is legally constituted as a company limited by guarantee and is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association. The company registered as a charity on 13 March 2008.
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year were: K Curran
Y S Bramall D M Lawton K Crawshaw R Dowling T L Fox (Resigned on 12 July 2021) Dr A J E Barnes S Mair-Richards (Appointed on 16 December 2020)
The group is governed by a Board of non-executive trustees/directors (‘non executives’). There are up to 12 nonexecutive positions available and The Board is split into four groups of non-executives, these are:
-
Private sector representatives, recruited on the basis of expertise useful to the Boards strategy.
-
Sheffield City Council representatives, nominated by the Council.
-
Community sector representatives, nominated by the Community Forums.
-
Co-optees.
All Board decisions must be ratified by all four groups of non-executives. Detailed provisions exist that control the appointment and removal of non-executives but the overriding aim of The Board is to work as a partnership between all four groups. The group offers support and training to all of its non-executives to assist them in fulfilling their roles.
Currently there is not an agreed length of time trustees are appointed to in the mem and articles. The Board is a partnership designed to reflect the range of stakeholders with an interest in the success of the neighbourhood. The partners are subject to different recruitment processes unique to the organisation’s constitution. Turnover of Board members is low and this provides continuity and corporate memory. There is a growing issue in Sheffield as a city in attracting and retaining trustees to boards. MCDT is in a relatively good position in that we are attracting new trustees that meet the organisations needs going forward.

The Senior Staff Team and Senior Management Team
During the year the day to day management of MCDT was delegated to a Senior Staff Team comprising of a Chief Executive Officer and a non-statutory Finance Director. The Senior Management Team is supported by a committee structure that draws on the expertise from the Trustees:
-
Finance and Development committee (bi-monthly).
-
Delivery and Performance committee (quarterly).
-
HR committee (as and when required).
The committees report to the Board any recommendations for action. The delivery structure of the Trust is such that each business unit has a senior member of staff managing the day to day delivery. The CEO, line managers and the senior team meets quarterly.
Group structure
MCDT has two wholly owned subsidiary companies Parkway Business Centre Limited (PBCL) and Managing Locally Limited (MLL). Both companies are trading companies with the object to gift aid any surplus profits to support the charitable activities of MCDT. Parkway Business Centre Limited owns and operates The Quadrant, a prestigious 37,000 square foot service office accommodation complex in Sheffield. Managing Locally Limited owns and manages the property portfolio built up by MCDT. The governance structures of MCDT mean that The Board of MCDT can directly control the trading subsidiaries via The Senior Staff Team.
MCDT is a partner with Sheffield Wildlife Trust in The Green Estate Community Interest Company (formerly The Green Estate Limited). MCDT has control of a third of the voting rights of The Green Estate Community Interest Company and exercise this control by the MCDT Chief Executive Officer sitting on the board of The Green Estate Community Interest Company. MCDT Board also nominates an alternate director who sits on The Green Estate Community Interest Company Board in a non-voting advisory capacity.
Disclosure of information to auditors
Each of the directors has confirmed that there is no information of which they are aware which is relevant to the audit, but of which the auditor is unaware. They have further confirmed that they have taken appropriate steps to identify such relevant information and to establish that the auditors are aware of such information.
The trustees’ report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

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 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

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES OF MANOR AND CASTLE DEVELOPMENT TRUST LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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 Report (incorporating the Strategic Report and the Directors’ Report for the purposes of company law) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Trustees Report (incorporating the Strategic Report and the Directors’ Report) have 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 charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report (including the Strategic Report).
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
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 obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of 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’ exemptions in preparing the Trustees’ Report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report.
Responsibilities of the trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purpose 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 they 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 not realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES OF MANOR AND CASTLE DEVELOPMENT TRUST LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Our 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 the 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 respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
Based on our understanding of the charity and the sector in which it operates, we identified the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the acts by the charity, which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations including fraud, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the accounts. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the accounts such as the Companies Act 2006. We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the accounts (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to inflated revenue and the charity's net income for the year.
Audit procedures included: review of the accounts disclosures to underlying supporting documentation, review of correspondence with legal advisors, review of journals, testing of cut off, testing the leases with tenants in the subsidiary companies, testing the validity and completeness of income, review of the bad debt provisions, reviewing the valuations of investment properties, testing the validity of debtors and testing creditors, accruals and deferred income for understatement. Management were also questioned and minutes of meetings were reviewed.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the accounts, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
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 charitable 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 responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1 Accounting policies
Company information
Manor and Castle Development Trust Limited is a private company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Norfolk House, Stafford Lane, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, S2 5HR.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 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) (effective 1 January 2019)”. The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The group accounts comprise the accounts of the charitable company and its subsidiaries made up to the end of the financial year. The accounts have been consolidated on a line by line basis as recommended by the Statement of Recommended Practice, “Accounting and Reporting by Charities”.
The accounts 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 accounts have been prepared on the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In making that assessment, the trustees have specifically considered the impact of the coronavirus on the operation of the charitable company, alongside actions taken to mitigate that impact. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.
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.
1.4 Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the group is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charitable company has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Grants are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are receivable.
- 30 -
MANOR AND CASTLE DEVELOPMENT TRUST LIMITED
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1 Accounting policies (continued)
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the group has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes.
1.5 Resources expended
Resources expended are recognised in the year in which they are incurred.
Costs of generating funds includes those costs incurred by the group during its activities for generating voluntary income.
Charitable activities comprises those costs incurred by the group in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes grants made to projects and individuals, costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Grant expenditure payable to projects is included based on the date that individual projects’ expenditure has been incurred, rather than the date that the grants are defrayed to the projects.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the group and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the group.
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories in the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource, and include irrecoverable VAT.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold land is not depreciated Freehold buildings Straight line over 50 years Leasehold property Straight line over 2 to 50 years Plant and machinery 33.33% straight line Fixtures, fittings and equipment 15% or 33.33% straight line Computers and office equipment 33.33% reducing balance Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance
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.

MANOR AND CASTLE DEVELOPMENT TRUST LIMITED
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1 Accounting policies (continued)
1.7 Investment properties
Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is measured using the fair value model and stated at its fair value as the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
1.8 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
1.9 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible 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).
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in income/(expenditure) for the year, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried in at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
1.10 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.
1.11 Financial instruments
The group has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised when the group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
MANOR AND CASTLE DEVELOPMENT TRUST LIMITED
1 Accounting policies (continued)
Financial assets are offset, with the net amounts presented in the accounts 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 trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised 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.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure), except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through income and expenditure, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected.
If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the group transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, 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 receipts 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.
- 33 -
MANOR AND CASTLE DEVELOPMENT TRUST LIMITED
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1 Accounting policies (continued)
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Accounts 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 payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Other financial liabilities
Derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in finance costs or finance income as appropriate, unless hedge accounting is applied and the hedge is a cash flow hedge.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the group’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.12 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is not recognised in the period, but is recognised when the holiday entitlement has been taken.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the group is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.13 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
1.14 Leases
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessees. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets at the lower of the asset’s fair value at the date of inception and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The related liability is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements.
The interest is charged to net income/(expenditure) for the year so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
- 2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the group’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. There are no judgements or estimates which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities.

25 Financial commitments, guarantees and contingent liabilities
The parent charity was the recipient of an ERDF grant of £3,218,036 that funded the construction of ‘The Quadrant’, the prestige office complex owned and operated by Parkway Business Centre Limited. Under the terms and conditions of this grant any clawback liability arising from a default in the grant conditions by Parkway Business Centre Limited would remain with MCDT and not Parkway Business Centre Limited. The trustees consider that invocation of such a clawback with MCDT is remote.
The parent charity acted as the Accountable Body for the Coal and Steel Areas Integrated Development Plan. Through this plan MCDT had channelled £9.9 million of Single Pot funding and £21.6 million of European ERDF funding into over 40 regeneration projects by the completion of the plan in December 2008. MCDT undertook a rigorous program of monitoring to ensure that all such regeneration projects delivered in accordance with contractual terms. However, if a project is subsequently found not to have complied with the contractual terms then clawback may be invoked under European guidance. If the project is unable to repay the clawback and MCDT can be shown to have been negligent then contractually MCDT may become liable to re-pay the clawback.
The trustees of MCDT do not consider that they have been negligent in any material way in respect to any of these contracts. No clawback claims currently exist against MCDT. The amount of any such future potential claims cannot be reliably estimated.
26 Post balance sheet events
As referred to in the going concern section of the accounting policies, the trustees are monitoring the situation concerning the coronavirus and any impact it may have on the charitable company. Given the current uncertainties, any longer term financial effect cannot be estimated.
