- **Talent Fund** – Dementia Carers Project 

- **Co-op Community Fund** – trips and activities

## **Reserves Policy** 

The board have reviewed the charity’s needs for reserves in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission and have a reserves policy in place which is reviewed annually in accordance with financial audit processes. The board believe that in addition to known commitments there is a need to hold at least 5 months unrestricted running costs in free reserve given the charity’s sources of funding are not certain. The policy statement provides that the trustees will produce annually a detailed analysis of reserves, both restricted and unrestricted based on the audited accounts, indicating the boards’ intentions with regard to the use of those reserves. For the year ended 31 March 2025 this analysis revealed that the total reserves of £328,054 represents 5 months running costs The board continues to aim to achieve a balanced budget that will increase our current level of unrestricted reserves. This will provide a safety net that will allow us to maintain basic services through this period when funding opportunities are more limited. We will however, continue to adjust activities and costs in line with the current financial climate.

## **Risk Management** 

The Board regularly reviews the operational and financial risks facing the organisation. Of the risks identified it is only the issue of funding that continues to be a concern and the Board has focused on this issue. The challenge remains, but there are a number of factors that are enabling us to be positive. Our fundraising plans set out our approach for generating income and is already beginning to show some dividends. 

The Board believes that the primary risks it faces are related to the funding environment and the coming few years are likely to be challenging. 

## Statement of Trustees' responsibilities 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom accounting standards and applicable law). Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income or expenditure, of the charity for the year. 

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

observe the the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 

make reasonable judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue as a going concern; 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.  They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

Approved by the board on 2nd December 2025 and signed on their behalf by:

Independent Examiner's report to the trustees of Halton Carers Centre Limited 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025 set out on pages 7 to 16 

## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

q examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

q to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

q state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of Independent examiner's statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

q to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and 

q to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice:  Accounting and Reporting by Charities 

have not been met; or 

2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

- (c)   Bank interest is recognised when credited to the account. 

- (d) Gift Aid, where appropriate, is recognised in the same accounting period as the donation to which it relates.

## Notes to the accounts 

## for the year ended 31 March 2025 

## **2.4 Tangible Fixed Assets** 

(a)   Tangible fixed assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £250.  They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at their value on receipt. Rates of depreciation 

Building Improvements:     20% straight line basis to nil Fixtures and fittings:          15% straight line basis to nil Equipment:                         20% straight line basis to nil

(a)   Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. 

(b)   Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. 

## **2.6 Cash** 

(a)   Cash comprises bank deposits repayable on demand and any short-term highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## **2.7 Creditors** 

(a)   Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.  Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount, usually the invoice amount. 

(b)   Accrued charges are normally valued at their settlement amount. 

## **2.8 Taxation** 

The charity is not liable to income tax or capital gains tax on its charitable activities. 

## **3 Transactions with trustees and related parties** 

During the year one trustees claimed expenses £68 (2024: 0) for attending charity business. 

Owing to the nature of the charity's activities and the composition of the board of trustees (being drawn from local statutory and voluntary organisation), it is inevitable that transactions will take place with organisations in which a trustee may have an interest. All transactions in which a trustee may have an interest are conducted at arm's length and in accordance with the charity's financial regulations and expenditure procedures. No transactions were indentified which should be disclosed under FRS 102.
