CEDE FOUNDATION

Report of the trustees For the year ended 30th September 2021

The trustees present their report and the independently examined financial statements for the year ended 30th September 2021.

Reference and administrative details

Reference and administrative information set out on page 2 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Statement of Recommended Practice-Accounting and Reporting by Charities (effective from January 2019).

Objectives and activities

The charity’s principal objectives as set out in its Memorandum of Association are:

Our Vision

A world in which people who face multiple deprivation are supported to build their voices and power capability to object to their exclusion, including supporting them in bringing to the attention of decision makers, issues which create barriers to their inclusion in mainstream society.

Our Mission

Our mission is to overcome poverty by empowering people and developing sustainable communities, to make positive changes to people who face severe and multiple disadvantages.

CEDE FOUNDATION

Report of the trustees For the year ended 30th September 2021

To achieve our mission, we deliver solutions that are personalised to the needs and circumstances of people who experience multiple deprivation, through education, skills training and help to secure employment, health and fitness classes, creative activities to reduce isolation, loneliness while boosting confidence and self-esteem, and support in tackling issues with health and addiction.

Achievements and performance

The charity's main activities are described below. These activities focus on overcoming poverty by empowering people and developing sustainable communities to make positive changes to people at the margins of society.

Events and activities

During the period under review, we continued to deliver health promotion initiatives, including breast cancer awareness, Organ donation awareness and health watch weekly.

The breast cancer awareness initiatives focused on overcoming the unmet need relating to the provision of cancer information within BME communities, which has resulted in lower awareness of cancer risk factors, signs and symptoms and cancer services among BME communities. Our Organ donation awareness events aimed at helping to raise new Organ donors while ensuring that prospective Organ donors communicate their wishes to their families.

The health watch weekly featured workshops, classes and discussions covering different health topics and positive thinking sessions. The promotion materials created through these projects have been made available so that people and communities across England and Wales would benefit from these events.

We have continued to make remarkable progress in our fight against hunger, by tackling food waste across Greater Manchester and collecting good quality surplus food from local supermarkets and making them available to struggling families. During the year under review, our effort achieved the following impact.

Total Collections Food Collected Meals Equivalent CO2Savings
654 29,796 kg 70,944 94,926 kg

The progress made by the charity in her work with young people was sustained throughout the year under review and we also provided a number of paid work experience opportunities

for young people. As we emerge from the coronavirus lockdown, young people need support and retraining to enable them to be better equipped with the skills that employers require as well as skills for resilience.

Our work on gender justice continued to deliver women empowerment by developing the employability skills of women, while building their confidence and self-esteem through the delivery of skills for work training that supported the wellbeing and quality of life for socially excluded and disadvantaged women and their families, fostering social mobility for socially excluded or disadvantaged women.

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues to deeply impact lives throughout the UK, not only because of its threat to physical health, but also because of its impact on the economy. During these difficult past months, we successfully kept up the renovation work at our community centre building. Thanks to the project team. We also adapted the delivery of our services, while observing the government social distancing guidelines.

Financial review

Our total turnover for the year was £125,746, a decrease of £95,402 on the previous year (£221,148), while expenditure was £230,034 compared to £48,920 in 2020. The increase in expenditure was largely due to our increase in our project delivery staff cost, other project costs and Covid-19 food support. Overall, we have maintained low overhead costs.

Public Benefit

The board of trustees have given due consideration to Charity Commission published guidance on the operation of the public benefit requirement and confirm that these requirements are met by the charity.

Going concern

The trustees have assessed the ability of the charity to continue operating and discharging its role for the foreseeable future, taking into consideration the ongoing renovation work at our community centre building and believe the organisation to be a going concern. We have also made financial projections, taken into consideration the current economic climate because of Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis and its potential impact on the various sources of income and planned expenditure. We have adequate financial resources and are able to manage our business risks.

CEDE FOUNDATION

Report of the trustees For the year ended 30th September 2021

Risk Management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate systems and controls are in place in order to mitigate those risks and to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. During the year the trustees have considered the major risks and systems have been put in place to mitigate their impact. In our opinion these are appropriate to the organisation’s size and the nature of its operations. The major financial risks facing the charity are – changes in funding streams and the sustainability of projects.

Risks to funding are considered as part of the business planning process. The sustainability of projects is to be mitigated by consistent dialogue with partners and funders. The challenge for the charity is to generate sufficient income to be able to support our projects. Each project has its own business and strategic plan. Internal risks are mitigated by processes that are accountable and monitored. Such procedures are reviewed to ensure the charity meets its legal and operational objectives.

Reserves policy

The trustees take a risk based approach to identify the appropriate level of reserves that are required to be held that will give our partners and stakeholders confidence that the organisation is financially sound and at the same time satisfactorily carry out the planned activities and to fulfil all contractual, statutory and legal obligations. The level of required reserve is set annually as part of the budgeting process. Following a review in September 2021, the trustees resolved that the charity would maintain a £10,000 in unrestricted reserves. At end of 2020-2021, the unrestricted reserve of the charity was £12,304 (£30,38,200 at end of 20192020).

Investment policy

The trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and have resolved that a bank deposit account meets their current requirements. Day-to-day management of the organisation’s investment fund is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer.

Public Benefit

The board of trustees have given due consideration to Charity Commission published guidance on the operation of the public benefit requirement and confirm that these requirements are met by the charity.

CEDE FOUNDATION

Report of the trustees For the year ended 30th September 2021

Structure, governance and management

The charity was registered under the Companies Act 1985 to 2006 on the 21 April 2008 as a company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital. The charity is registered with the Charities Commission in England & Wales. The charity is governed by the memorandum and articles of association.

The board of trustees is currently made up of 5 people, with a range of backgrounds, skills and professions, including legal and finance. The Board, which has overall responsibility for the charity's activities meets every quarter. Committees and temporary working parties including trustees, executive staff and co-optees are set up by the Board as necessary and report back to it.

The directors, who are the trustees, are appointed by the members at the annual general meeting. At each AGM, one-third of the directors retire by rotation, being the longest in office. They are eligible for re-election. Other than a retiring trustee, the only people eligible for election as trustees are those either nominated by the Board or by a member giving not less than 14 and not more than 35 clear days’ notice of the intention to propose a person for election. The charity, by ordinary resolution, or the trustees, may appoint a person who is willing to act, to fill a vacancy, providing that a trustee so appointed shall hold office only until the next AGM.

New trustees receive an induction pack to acquaint them with the charity’s policy and practice, its aims and activities, management, and governance, and also with what is expected of them under Charity and Company Law. The board maintains the personal competence of board members through verbal and written briefings, and opportunities for attending training and events.

Future plans

Our priorities for 2021-2022 reflect the need to diversify our income sources to sustain the delivery of our services, including the delivery of our capital projects. It also reflects our commitment to provide early intervention support to people at the margins of society. These priorities are: Social inclusion, Employment and skills, Health and wellbeing, Recycling and regeneration, Active citizenship and Arts, culture and heritage.

These are the broad areas where the board agreed that we needed to develop to accelerate the attainment of the overall objectives of the charity. To achieve these targets, we will:

Independent examiners’ report For the year ended 30th September 2021

I report on the accounts of Cede Foundation, for the year ended 30 September 2021, which are set out on pages 13 to 24.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts, and they consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and in accordance with section 476 of the Companies Act 2006.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law or Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

  1. examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;

  2. 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

  3. to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of opinion

My examination consisted of comparing the accounts with the books of account kept by the charity and making such limited enquiries of the officers of the charity as we considered necessary for the purpose of this report. These procedures provide the only assurance expressed in our opinion.

Opinion

In my opinion:

the revenue account and balance sheet for year ended 30 September 2021 are in agreement with the books of account kept by the charity in accordance with 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 (effective from January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

having regard only to, and on the basis of the information contained in the books of account, the revenue account and balance sheet for the year ended 30 September 2021 comply with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act); and

CEDE FOUNDATION

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 30th September 2021

1. Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

a. Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 (October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Cede Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

b. Judgments and estimates

The trustees have made no key judgments which have a significant effect on the accounts. The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

c. Going concern

The trustees have reviewed the charity's forecasts and projections and with the lifting of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown and social distancing restrictions, taking into consideration the ongoing renovation work at our community centre building, the trustees are confident that the charity can also fulfil its commitments to its beneficiaries for the period ending 30 September 2022.

d. Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are grants and donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

16

CEDE FOUNDATION

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 30th September 2021

e. Income

The Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

f. Donated services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item, is probable and the economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP(FRS102), general volunteer time is not recognised.

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

g. Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

h. Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

17

CEDE FOUNDATION

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 30th September 2021

i. Tangible fixed assets

All expenditure of a capital nature on development work overseas is expensed as incurred, while tangible fixed assets in the UK costing more than £100 are capitalized and included at cost, including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost by equal annual instalments over their expected useful economic lives as follows:

Freehold land and buildings Nil
Computer infrastructure 5 years
Computer equipment 4 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment 4 years

Impairment reviews are conducted when events and changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred. If any asset is found to have a carrying value materially higher than its recoverable amount, it is written down accordingly.

j. Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

k. Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

l. Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions 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 and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

18

CEDE FOUNDATION

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 30th September 2021

m. Gift aid

Gift Aid tax reclaims is recognised for any Gift Aid certificates received up to two months after the year-end, in relation to donations made prior to the year-end, where the Gift Aid tax reclaim application was filled to HMRC prior to the year-end.
