Review of Public Benefit
In setting out our objectives and planning our activities, the trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.
Future Plans
We continually strive to expand our services to meet the growing demand but we do so in a planned and financially prudent way, thus ensuring all projects stand on a sound financial footing individually and thus the charity moves forward and grows but does so responsibly.
Financial Review
Each service we offer is carefully budgeted for and only runs after being sanctioned by the trustees as viable. The surplus at the year end was £8,064 (2022: deficit of £354). Reserves at 31 March 2023 were £39,426 (2022: £31,362), which includes restricted reserves of £4,205 (2022: £4,205).
Investment powers and policy
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charitable company has the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit.
Reserves policy
The state of the economy and resulting downturn in donations received also means sufficient reserves must be held to ensure services could continue in a financial downturn. The trustees carefully monitor this area to ensure sufficient reserves are in place. Our policy is to have a minimum of 3 months’ running costs as a reserve figure. At present the free reserves, which amount to £39,426 are within this target level.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
-
1 General information
-
The Duchenne Family Support Group is a company, limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011. The address of the registered office is provided in reference and administrative details on page 1 of the Trustees Report together with the details of the charity’s operations.
-
2 Accounting policies
-
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
-
2.1 Statement of compliance and basis of preparation
-
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. The accounts include the results of the charity's operations which are described in the Trustees’ Report, all of which are continuing.
-
2.2 Accounting convention
-
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
-
2.3. Income Voluntary income including donations, gifts and legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature are recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Such income is only deferred when:
-
The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or
-
The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement. Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.
-
2.4 Volunteers and donated services and facilities The value of services provided by volunteers is not incorporated into these financial statements. Further details of the contribution made by volunteers can be found in the trustees’ annual report.
-
2.5 Expenditure
-
‘
Expenditure is recognised whena liability is incurred.
Costs of raising funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Charitable activities include expenditure associated with the production of the newsletter and other information, provision of a helpline and volunteer network services and provision of events and holidays, together with support costs relating to these activities.
Governance costs include those incurred in the governance of the charity and its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

THE DUCHENNE FAMILY SUPPORT GROUP (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
-
2.6 Funds structure
-
The charity has a number of restricted income funds to account for situations where a donor requires that a donation must be spent on a particular purpose or where funds have been raised for a specific purpose. All other funds are unrestricted income funds.
2.7 Pensions The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
- 2.8 Financial instruments
Classification
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangement entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.
- Recognition and measurement
All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transactions. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, , the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for similar debt instruments.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party. Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
