Cambridge Carbon Footprint Ltd
TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT 2021
The Board presents its report and the financial statements for the year ended 31[st] December 2021.
Objects of the Charity
The object of the Charity as stated in the Memorandum of Association is:
“The promotion for the benefit of the public of the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment by raising awareness of climate change and encouraging practical steps to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.”
The trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, and they consider that Cambridge Carbon Footprint is fulfilling its obligations in this respect by achieving the above objective.
Organisation
Cambridge Carbon Footprint (CCF) is administered by a Trustee Board who meet at least four times a year. Trustees who served during the year are detailed above.
Projects, activities, and achievements
With Covid-19 continuing to impact our ability to meet in person we delivered much of our work online in 2021. Although most restrictions ended in July, we remained cautious about exposing staff and volunteers to additional risk. This, combined with significant uncertainty about future lockdowns, meant we adopted an ‘online first’ approach, running events online where possible, and taking a cautious approach with planning activities that were unable to be run online.
Our staff and volunteers showed flexibility and creativity in the ways they adapted our activities for online audiences. Open Eco Homes , Ambition to Action and Net Zero Now training worked particularly well in this format, increasing access to attendees from further afield, and helping us to build up a video library of useful talks, which continue to gain views.
There were some activities which we couldn’t adapt to online delivery. We didn’t run any clothes swaps in 2021, and had fewer thermal imaging camera loans, as we didn’t allow camera loans to take place in the spring while non-essential retail was prohibited.
Although our team worked hard to deliver what activities we could to the best of our abilities, nonetheless these adaptations resulted in a reduced impact. Our volunteers made fewer thermal imaging camera surveys, we ran fewer events, we supported fewer partners to run events, and those events that we did run either online or in person were necessarily smaller in scope, and with fewer attendees than they might have had in person.
1. Cambridge Climate Change Charter
The Cambridge Climate Change Charter is a project we deliver on behalf of the Cambridge City Council. Through it we engage individuals, businesses, and organisations in reducing their carbon emissions, encouraging them to understand their carbon emissions and commit to reducing them. We launched the project in September 2020 and continued to deliver events and activities designed to support carbon reduction throughout 2021, including From Ambition to Action, a series of free expert-led online seminars aimed at businesses and organisations. These events walked participants through how to get started on systematically addressing their carbon footprint and how to set up an Environmental Management System. In July we ran a series of 4 Shrink your Footprint market stalls, meeting people on Market Square and helping them to calculate their carbon footprint. This project extended support to local community and faith groups with a new Shrink your Carbon Footprint workshop guide , which included a PowerPoint presentation and 60-minute workshop plan that local groups can use off the peg or tailored, to help support their communities to reduce carbon emissions. In December 2021 we held the first of three ‘how to’ events to walk 8 participants through the guide and how they might use it to run their own workshop.

2. Home energy projects
Our Open Eco Homes project continues to help people create beautiful, high functioning, low energy homes with householder led tours of renovated and new build eco homes. 2021 was an excellent year, with 10 homeowners giving inspiring online tours, showing how their homes are low-carbon and delightful. 6 expert talks from Planning your Retrofit to Home Energy Innovation helped people turn their inspiration into home energy action, which we estimate will save 969 tonnes CO2.
Feedback and impact measures were good: 551 participants attended, with 96% reporting they were ‘useful or very useful’. 50% said they were new to Open Eco Homes , so we’re sure we’re reaching well beyond our regulars. Videos of 2021 tours and talks continue to attract interest, with 11,200 views at the last count, reaching an ever-wider audience.
CCF offers two thermal imaging cameras for loan to borrowers who have attended a training session. Thermal imaging cameras are sensitive to infra-red and make ‘temperature map’ images, revealing problems with insulation, draughts, damp and more. Significant improvements in comfort, and reductions in energy bills and carbon emissions are often made as a result of fixing these issues.
In this winter project, we offer free online training in interpreting what thermal images reveal, such as draughts, poor insulation and heating problems. Afterwards, trainees can borrow a camera to investigate their own home, and often those of others, to show where it’s leaking heat. Research shows that these images motivate action to get the problems fixed.
From January to March 2021 we had to suspend thermal imaging activities, because of the Covid risks of inperson training and passing cameras between borrowers and their hosts. In autumn 2021 we were ready to resume with a third camera, creating resource videos of how to use each camera type and running more online training sessions teaching volunteers how to interpret the images. In 2021 we trained 69 people to use thermal imaging cameras, with volunteers carrying out 10 thermal imaging surveys.
3. Swapping, sharing, repairing & reducing consumerism
CCF is one of the leading UK proponents of repair cafes, community events which pair skilled volunteer repairers with people who need things fixed. These events build community ties and prevent items from going into landfill. The Cambridgeshire Repair Network held 2 repair cafes in the city, despite Covid restrictions, and the How to run a Repair Café in your Community skillshare was delivered three times over the year, all were heavily oversubscribed. By February 2022, volunteers and community leaders from 60 different Cambridgeshire locations had been trained in how to run repair cafes in their communities.
Co-ordinated by Kate Boursnell, repairers from the Cambridgeshire Repair Cafe Network responded to the ongoing Covid crisis by collecting and repairing 75 unwanted laptops to redistribute to people who needed them via Cambridge Online. As a result local repair cafes were nominated by BBC Radio Cambridegshire as an organisation ‘Making A Difference’.
4. Communications
Throughout 2021 CCF maintained good press coverage with 12 opinion pieces in the Cambridge Independent , covering topics ranging from climate leadership to sustainable diets.
With increased attention on home retrofit and keeping homes cooler in heatwaves, Open Eco Homes received lots of media attention this year, featuring on the BBC’s News at Ten for example.
The Cambridgeshire Repair Cafe Network was also a focus with Ethical Consumer Week featuring one of our Cambridgeshire repairers on the panel of their session Fixing the climate one repair at a time and the ITV Tonight documentary Repair or Replace? Britain in a Fix was screened nationwide and featured our Cambridge Repair Cafe at Makespace.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT 2021
We also collaborated with others to promote repair, playing a significant role in creating the Community Repair Network , a new umbrella network for all things repair in the UK. For International Repair Day 2021 we helped pull together a media resource and campaign pack for all UK cafes highlighting the Right to Repair campaign and the Environmental Impact of Repair.
5. Building influence
CCF continued to develop our influence in our region by collaborating, lobbying and responding to local consultations.
CCF participated in all four Local Climate Change Forum meetings with City Council officers and councillors, along with other interested local organisations. These meetings have been very useful, learning about what we’re each doing and how we can collaborate better. We aim to be supportive and challenging with the City Council.
Wherever possible we continue to respond to local consultations. In 2021 we responded to the Future Homes Standard, demanding stronger standards and their enforcement, to deliver net-zero carbon new buildings without delay.
6. 2022 activities and events
For CCF 2022 has really been marked by a return to in-person events and activities. Highlights so far, include running Cambridge’s first ‘Imaginarium’ at the Cambridge Festival. At this event we invited people to become ‘Architects of the Future’ and imagine a greener, fairer and healthier Cambridgeshire in 2040. The event was hugely successful, with organisers estimating that 550 people, all families and carers with children, took part over the weekend.
Following a slow thermal imaging season in 2021 due to Covid, we were only able to meet borrower demand in spring 2022 with 3 more cameras, kindly made available to us by South Cambs District Council. Each camera was hosted by a different volunteer, making it easier to borrow a camera locally. For our upcoming winter season South Cambs District Council will loan us 5 cameras.
In July we launched the new Cambridge Climate Map, a resource produced as part of our work on the Cambridge Climate Change Charter. The map features a guide to personal carbon reduction and local places people can access resources and advice to help them get started.
Summary
In total we were involved in running or supporting others to run 45 carbon reduction events and activities in 2021, a decrease on the 53 events we ran or supported in 2020. This total included 9 outreach talks, 4 stalls and 2 events where we supported others to run activities in their communities. We estimate our combined attendance for these events was 1,541 compared with 1,942 in 2020. Our 2021 activities engaged approximately 980 people new to our organisation, compared with 1,251 in 2020.
Financial review
Total income in 2021 amounted to £66,286 (2020 £106,679) which, after total expenditure of £93,806 (2020 £76,227), resulted in a deficit of £27,519 (2020 surplus £30,452). Included within that income were four grants for specific work; expenditure against some of that specific income had not been incurred by the end of the year. The level of gift and donation income was maintained in 2021, but there was a substantial reduction in the availability and receipt of grants. At the same time, initiatives were 30% more expensive in staff time and cost than in 2020. Unrestricted funds available for the continuing operation of the organisation had declined to £12,351 (2020 £18,663). Rigorous control of costs, including the recovery of staff costs through grant income, will be essential in 2022. The maintenance of regular unrestricted donations is vital to ensure a cash flow without which the organisation would be unable to continue. Subsequently, in 2022, an increased flow of grant funding and donations is starting to remedy the situation.

Cambridge Carbon Footprint Ltd
TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT 2021
Reserves
Donation income is our primary funding source for our core fund – from which we support all of the organisation's fixed costs. As donated income cannot always be predicted, and the success of funding bids is not guaranteed, the trustees believe it is prudent for the charity to aim for a minimum reserve equivalent to three months expenditure. This will provide:
-
the ability to meet unforeseen expenditure, including costs arising should CCF be wound up (closedown costs, redundancy payments, return of grant funding);
-
flexibility in achieving our objectives; and
-
a financial ‘cushion’ until additional core funding can be secured.
In accordance with the Charity Commission’s guidelines, the Trustees review this policy annually and consequently manage the cash flow in an appropriately prudent manner. Circumstances in 2021 resulted in the reserve being again slightly lower than the desired amount. Greater income in 2022 has begun to restore the reserves to the appropriate level.
Investments
Although funds are minimal, whenever cash is not required for short-term use, it is held in a separate deposit account in order to earn some interest. The security of those invested funds is inevitably reflected in the low rate of interest currently earned.
Responsibilities of the Board
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the board should follow best practice and:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the company will continue on that basis.
The board is responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Board is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Recruitment, Appointment of Trustees
Trustees, who are also Directors of the Company, are elected by members of the Company or appointed by resolution or co-option by the Trustees.
Induction of Trustees
Induction and training of Trustees is currently carried out informally but the Trustees will review this if and when the size of the Board increases.
Trustees Indemnities
In accordance with normal commercial practice, the charity has a policy of purchasing insurance to protect them from claims arising from negligent acts, errors or omissions occurring while on charity business. However, due to the exceptional circumstances brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, such insurance was not purchased in the year 2020 – 2021 while CCF activities were severely limited during this period to minimise risk.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1 Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
a) Basis of preparation
These accounts have been prepared under the historic cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
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 (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.
Cambridge Carbon Footprint Ltd meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
b) Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
With regards to the following year, the most significant area of uncertainty of the charity is the level of donation income which needs to be raised each and every year to fulfill a programme of events, together with the residual impact of COVID19.
c) Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the items of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Donations, grants and gifts are recognised when receivable.
Income from Gift Aid tax reclaims is recognised for any donations with valid Gift Aid declarations in the same period as the donation. Gift aid is considered to be part of the original gift and is added to the same fund as the original donation unless the donor specifies otherwise. Any amounts of Gift Aid not received by the year end are accounted for in income and accrued income in debtors.
Interest on deposit funds held is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity which is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
Sponsorship from fundraising and events are recognised in income when the event takes place.
Trading income is recognised on point of sale for both donated and purchased goods and services.
d) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure and liabilities are 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. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is classified as expenditure on charitable activities.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the direct costs of activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

CAMBRIDGE CARBON FOOTPRINT LTD
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
e) Governance and support costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include governance costs, finance, and office costs. Governance costs are those costs incurred in connection with the compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity.
Support costs are allocated across funds on the basis of employee time or allocated to the general fund.
f) Redundancy costs
The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. g) Grants Grants awarded to other bodies are recognised when an acceptable grant application has been received from the applicant and has been approved by the trustees.
h) Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. i) Deferred income
No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.
j) Creditors
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 after allowing for any trade discounts due.
k) Provisions for liabilities
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. l) Fixed assets Equipment, furniture and fittings owned by the Company are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over two to four years on a straight line basis. m) 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. Accrued income and tax recoverable is included at the best estimate of the amounts receivable at the balance sheet date.
n) 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 amount.
o) Taxation
The company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

CAMBRIDGE CARBON FOOTPRINT LTD
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
p) Fund accounting
Where the charity undertakes a specific project, as determined internally or by the external donor, all incoming and expended resources are accounted for separately through a separate fund.
These funds are classifed as follows:
- Where the grant donor specifies how the Restricted funds funds should be applied. Unrestricted funds - All other funds, which are available for General reserve general purposes.
q) Pensions
Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 5. Contributions outstanding at the year end were £7,560 (2020: £355).
The money purchase plan is managed by NEST and the plan invests the contributions made by the employee and employer in an investment fund to build up over the term of the plan. The pension fund is then converted into a pension upon the employee’s normal retirement age which is defined as when they are eligible for a state pension. The charity has no liability beyond making its contributions and collecting and paying across the deductions for the employee’s contributions.
Employer pension contributions are allocated to funds using the same calculation that the related salary costs are allocated to funds.
r) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
Estimates and judgements such as general expenditure accruals and the gift aid debtor are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Based upon the results shown in these accounts, there are no estimates or assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
2 Legal status of the Charity
The Company is limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and does not have a share capital. As at 31 December 2021 there were 32 (2020 - 25) members.
Members' liability is limited to £10 each in the event of the Company being wound up, while they are members or within one year after they cease to be a member, for payment of debts and liabilities contracted before they ceased to be a member.
