Fairplay

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

Structure, governance and management

a. Constitution

The organisation is a company limited by guarantee and was incorporated on 23 February 2009 and gained charitable status on 18 March 2009. The charity is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. There have been no amendments since incorporation.

b. Methods of appointment or election of trustees

The trustees are voted onto the committee at each annual general meeting. Each year a third of the board of trustees must retire using a yearly rotation of the longest serving members. They may then be re-elected. The total number of places on the committee is twelve. All Fairplay members are eligible to vote either as an individual or organisation. The trustees meet every six to eight weeks and have overall responsibility for the organisation's systems, procedures and controls, financial or otherwise. At present there are ten trustees and the charity is actively seeking to recruit two additional trustees to fill the existing vacancies.

c. Policies adopted for the induction and training of trustees

The directors seek to maintain a suitable balance of skills and interests among those serving on the board and may, recruit or co-opt new members if a retirement call or a skill shortfall requires action. Subject to the maximum number allowed, new directors receive an induction pack, and a face-to-face induction meeting with the chief executive.

d. Organisational structure and decision making

  1. The charity and its property shall be managed and administered by a committee comprising the officers and other members elected in accordance with the constitution. The officers and other members of the committee shall be trustees of the charity and in the constitution are together called "the trustees".

  2. The trustees will consist of no more than twelve voting members in total.

  3. The trustees shall meet at least every eight weeks.

  4. The organisation is managed by the chief executive who has overall responsibility for the smooth running of Fairplay. A management report covering both strategic and operational issues is submitted to the trustees at the board meeting.

The chief executive takes responsibility for monitoring and evaluating contracts and projects as well as responsibility for risk assessments and health and safety.

Fairplay's finance officer takes overall responsibility for the day-to-day accounting and payroll for the organisation. The finance officer and treasurer prepare the annual budgets and financial reports for the trustee/board meetings and the annual general meeting.

Structure, governance and management (continued)

e. Staff team and volunteers

The chief executive, the co-ordinator team leader and two co-ordinators are all full-time. The finance officer works 34 hours per week. Two admin workers and an HR officer work between 20 and 30 hours per week. The majority of the remainder of the organisation's staff are contracted for hours ranging from 6 hours to full-time (37 hours per week). The hours of sessional workers work can be anything from 3 hours upwards.

The working week is very flexible due to the organisation's activities with many staff working evenings and weekends.

Fairplay provides services from a purpose-built centre in Chesterfield and welcomes members living in the Chesterfield, Bolsover, North East Derbyshire, High Peak and Derbyshire Dales.

The core staff team are based in the organisation's centre in Chesterfield.

Fairplay strives to provide good quality facilities and activities for families with the support of well-trained staff and volunteers. When a referral is made, a home visit usually takes place by the coordinator for that geographical area. A membership form is completed to determine the needs of each child and how best they can be supported. Sometimes families prefer to visit the centre to see the excellent facilities and meet with the coordinator there.

During 2022/23 Fairplay trained and supported 21 volunteers. Fairplay aims to make volunteering a positive and rewarding experience.

f. Pay policy for key management personnel

Fairplay uses grading tables with grades 0-7 for contracted staff. Management grades are 1-8. This grading system was used by the NHS who initially operated Fairplay's payroll with adjustments to the grading tables only when the board agree to a cost of living pay rise.

Fairplay

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

Achievements and performance

a. Review of activities

During the year Fairplay has worked with approximately 300 families who live in North Derbyshire. The membership consists of children and young people aged 0 to 30 years (dependent on circumstances). Fairplay also works with volunteers aged 14 plus who are recruited from local secondary schools and colleges. They are offered initial volunteer training, which is backed up with additional training when available. Each family pays a yearly membership of £21 to help cover the cost of initial set-up and renewing records of existing members. Renewing the membership on a yearly basis allows the organisation to renew its data base and to ensure mailings are only sent to families who still require the service.

Fairplay is proud to work in partnership with many organisations. Currently the chief executive sits on the board of MyPlace Network Limited. This further enables Fairplay to be prominent in raising awareness of children and young people with disabilities at a national level. For many years Fairplay has worked closely with the local community through its work in schools and colleges and its links with the local voluntary sector.

Our services are usually split into age groups starting with family support and pre-school activities for the under 5's and play schemes for 5-12-year-olds. After the age of 12 there are a variety of projects for young people including youth clubs, girls' night and Saturday Social. For young people aged 16-30 years there is the Independent Living Project that meets weekdays using the DCAS Centre (adjacent to the main Fairplay building) as a base to go off and do many exciting activities. The Independent Living Group Plus offers support to young people with complex health care needs.

Fairplay brings lots of children and young people together and enables them to take part in a wide variety of activities alongside their friends and peers. A safe supportive environment is created where young people can try out many exciting activities designed to increase confidence and self-esteem.

Young People's Group

The Young People's Group is for young people aged 12-30 years (although new members aged 25 or over are not accepted, existing members can remain in the group until they reach the age of 30). The groups remain very popular with an ever-increasing membership. The activities that have been made available to the young people are:

Children's Schemes

All schemes for children aged 5-12 years, including holiday play schemes and Saturday Club are well attended with an emphasis on getting active and trips out to a variety of places. Young people aged 12-18 years are invited to join the youth groups at the Fairplay Centre.

Lea Green Learning and Development Centre

Weekend trips to Lea Green provide young people with the opportunity to spend time in a different environment, away from home.

Fairplay

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

Achievements and performance (continued)

Home Based Support and Continuing Care

Fairplay, in conjunction with the Clinical Commissioning Groups and Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, provides a Home-Based Support Service for children and young people with complex health needs. This support is offered to the family in the house or out in the community. Support is also offered for those children overnight at the fully equipped Fairplay Centre.

The Home-Based Support Service also provides its members with the opportunity to meet all together once a month at the Fairplay Centre. In all, 9 children and young people currently receive support from this service.

Fairplay has been able to offer the siblings of Home-Based Support children the opportunity to take part in trips out throughout the year. The group have enjoyed many trips and also took part in a residential to the seaside.

Parent Support Groups

Throughout 2022/23 Fairplay continued providing information and support to families on a wide variety of subjects that matter to them.

Fairplay Gift Emporium

The Fairplay Gift Emporium gives our members aged 18+ the opportunity to gain valuable work experience. However, the operation of the emporium was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which restricted opening hours. From April 2023 the Gift Emporium was relocated to the Fairplay centre.

b. Impact of COVID-19

Whilst the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has now generally receded, we remain vigilant to any changes in the current position in order to ensure that all of the children and young people who use our services are protected, particularly the more vulnerable and those who are unvaccinated.

Fairplay's activity levels are now back to normal. A significant impact of the pandemic was the reduction in fundraising activities, but during 2022/23 these have returned to pre-Covid levels and events such as Birkfest and the '30k in a Day" hike were able to take place.

Fairplay

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

Financial review

a. Results for the year

Total income for the year ended 31 March 2023 was £1,467,349 (2022; £1,196,097) and total expenditure was £1,326,164 (2022: £1,161,037), resulting in a surplus of £141,185 (2022: £35,060).

The total of unrestricted reserves as at 31 March 2023 is £2,264,081 (2022: £2,124,010) and the total of restricted reserves at that date is £16,504 (2022: £15,390).

Free reserves as at 31 March 2023 (after deducting the net book value of tangible fixed assets) were £831,421 (2022: £672,007).

b. Principal funding

Funding secured for the year ended 31 March 2023:

c. Reserves policy

The trustees' policy is to hold reserves equal to six months running costs plus provision for potential redundancy costs in the event of closure, which at 31 March 2023 are considered to amount to £824,258 (2022: £724,415). In the current funding environment, the trustees consider it prudent to aim to hold reserves at this level to enable Fairplay to continue to offer its services for at least six months following any unforeseen loss of funding or disaster. At 31 March 2023 free reserves exceeded this level for the first time in recent years. The trustees will continue to seek to maintain a level of free reserves in future periods that will ensure that the reserves policy continues to be successfully met.

d. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries and preparing financial forecasts, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

Financial review (continued)

The trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. A risk register has been established which is regularly updated. Appropriate systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces. Fairplay is inspected by Derbyshire County Council and the Care Quality Commission, thereby providing additional assurance that our services are well maintained and meet required standards. Our CQC rating during this accounting period was 'good'.

Independent advice has been outsourced for some of the charity's services including HR advice and pension advice to minimise the risk of claims against the organisation. Insurance cover is reviewed on a yearly basis and cover extended where needed

Plans for future periods

Fairplay plans to continue to offer all of its current services. The overnight weekend provision is continuing on a monthly basis at Lea Green Learning and Development Centre.

Other future developments include:

Fairplay have a fundraising sub-committee which meets on a bi-monthly basis to decide on future fundraising events and review events that have taken place.

Fairplay has a current fundraising policy and a copy is available from the registered office. Fairplay do not engage in door-to-door fundraising. Members of the public are not approached but are invited to donate via signage for each event. There have been no complaints received regarding Fairplay's fundraising activities or practices during the year. Fundraisers external to Fairplay receive an acknowledgement and receipt for money raised.

Trustees' responsibilities statement

The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

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 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.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Fairplay

Year ended 31 March 2023

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Fairplay (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Fairplay (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' 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:

Fairplay

Company Limited by Guarantee

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Fairplay (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity'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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in 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:

Auditor's responsibilities for detecting irregularities, including fraud

The objectives of our audit are: to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud or error; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud or error; and to respond appropriately to those risks. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK).

In identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

 We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the company and the sector in which they operate. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant; the Charities SORP (FRS 102) issued in October 2019, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, UK corporate taxation law, employment law and health and safety legislation.

 We obtained an understanding of how the company is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making inquiries to relevant members of the management team. We corroborated our inquiries though our review and inquiry into legal fees incurred in the year.

Fairplay

Company Limited by Guarantee

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Fairplay (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

 We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

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 financial statements the less likely we would become aware of it. 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, intentional misrepresentations or 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 charity'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 charity'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 charity and the charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

In the process of applying the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make certain estimates, judgements and assumptions that they believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be relevant to the company.

Actual results may differ from the estimates, the effect of which is recognised in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known.

The estimate and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows:

Leases

Determining whether leases entered into by the company as a lessee are operating or finance leases requires judgement. These decisions depend on an assessment of whether the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred from the lessor to the lessee based on the evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements on a lease by lease basis.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are those funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes and have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which have been subjected to restrictions on their expenditure as imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such restricted funds are charged against the specific fund.

Incoming resources

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.

Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.

Operating leases

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis over the term of the underlying lease.

Tangible assets

Tangible fixed assets are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recorded at cost, which includes all costs incurred to bring the asset into its intended working condition or location, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Long leasehold property - Over the extent of the underlying lease
Fixtures and fittings - 33% straight line
Motor vehicles - 20% straight line
Office equipment - 33% straight line

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and other costs incurred in bringing the stock into its present location and condition.

Financial instruments

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised as such in the statement of financial activities.

4. Limited by guarantee

The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.

During the year amendments were made to an existing lease to reflect full usage of a building by the charity which had previously been sub-leased back to its owners. The lease in question has 85 years to run at the financial year-end. Accounting disclosures in these financial statements reflect the continued treatment of this lease as an operating lease, in light of inherent uncertainties involved in assessing future rental payments and the net present value of future minimum financial commitments under the lease for the purposes of determining whether the lease would qualify as a finance lease. This approach has been taken to ensure that the financial statements show a true and fair view and do not give a misleading view of the financial position of the charity.

28. Related parties

The following payments were made to members of trustees' or the senior management team's close family members:

Lauren Boden - £4,557 (2022: £1,059) salary as assistant team member;
