## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
The Company’s objects and principal activities are, for the public benefit, to provide for:
(a) the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage;
(b) the advancement of health;
- (c) the advancement of citizenship; and
(d) such other similar purposes recognised by English Law as charitable as the charity shall determine from time to time.
The objects are to be achieved by, in particular but not so as to limit the generality of the foregoing, the establishment and running of a lunch and leisure club for the elderly and the vulnerable people of the Ainsdale neighbourhood of Southport and adjacent areas where practicable.
The Trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers or duties.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
This year saw Ainsdale Lunch & Leisure (ALL) celebrate it’s 40th Anniversary and a celebratory lunch was held where memories of ALL’s origins and it’s hopes for the future were shared. Other events held during the year included a celebration of the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and our Christmas Lunch with entertainment.
## **Staff:**
This year has also seen a change in staff. In September we welcomed our new General Manager, Helen, who comes to us with many years experience in the charity sector.
## **Volunteers:**
All Ainsdale Lunch and Leisure activities are supported by volunteers from the local community. We have not yet been able to restart provision of volunteering opportunities for those who have additional needs but hope to be able to do so in the near future.

**Trustees Annual Report**
## **Lunch Club:**
The number of meals served are almost back to pre-Covid levels. In the last quarter of the report period the number of meals served rose to 2,170 compared to 1,617 in the same period last year. This includes 1,155 meals to delivered to members homes.
Positive comments about the meals out service have been received from both users and relatives. We are also grateful to our volunteer drivers who enable us to keep this vital service going.
## **Cafe:**
The café reopened in the autumn and is available for drinks, cakes and light refreshments 3 days a week. Here also new work will be undertaken to improve the quality of drinks service and review the snacks and cakes on offer.
## **Leisure Activities:**
Like the meals service, we are starting to see an increase in the number of activities and in some cases, an increase in attendance. Our activities and how they operate are always subject to review.
Activities offered were: Art, Gentle Gym, Needlework, Tai-Chi, Music-for-all, Guitar, Games Afternoon (including Indoor Bowling and Table Tennis), Ukulele, Fit-for-life, Singing for All, Gardening. Some are volunteer led (e.g. Singing for All, Music for All, Ukelele, Games Afternoon) and we are therefore reliant upon good will for these activities to continue. Some groups run without a specific instructor e.g. Needlework, Bowling, Table Tennis and Gardening.
## **Charity Shop:**
The shop provides important revenue to support the work of the charity although it is limited due to its small size and single access point. The shop has continued to open 3 days per week, 10.00am until 2.30 pm. Sales through items listed online on eBay provide a valuable income and are not reliant on opening times.
## **Garden:**
The Garden developed at the rear of the premises in conjunction with Ainsdale Methodist Church has continued to be maintained by a loyal group of volunteers. It has been well used as a meeting place in fine weather and there is plenty of seating for quiet moments. Fruit and vegetables are grown and used in the ALL kitchen.
## **Networking:**
We continue to network with a variety of local organisations covering the health and social care sector. This enables us to exchange information and on occasions leads to partnership working. Once again this year we helped co-ordinate a health information exhibition alongside flu vaccinations provided by the local medical centre. Over 2000 people attended in total.
## **Data Protection:**
We continue to update Data Protection and Privacy Policies in line with the GDPR Legislation. We have reviewed information held and obtained permission from all our members regarding their personal data.
## **Fundraising & Donations:**
We would like to express our gratitude to all our supporters, volunteers and donors particularly in these difficult times. Sefton MBC continues to support our running costs and we extend our thanks to them. We are grateful to P H Holt and Dulverton Trust for their financial support.

## **Trustees Annual Report**
We were also supported during the year by Living Well Sefton, Sefton CVS Community Resilience Fund. Other individuals/organisations have given donations and we value their commitment to Ainsdale Lunch and Leisure.
A list of donors is available but will exclude any donors who wish to remain anonymous.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
The charity’s total income was £96,590 (2022: £119,186) and the total expenditure was £109,039 (2022: £117,410). Free reserves, calculated as unrestricted funds less the net book value of fixed assets at 31st March 2023, were £50,961, a drop of £12,922 for the period. Our reserves have dropped as a result of increased costs due to high national inflation and the difficulty in obtaining grant funding post Covid.
The principal source of funds was receipts from users of the Meals Service as well as grant funding and donations.
## **Reserves Policy:**
The Board of Trustees has examined the charity’s requirements for reserves in light of the main risk to the organisation. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (‘the free reserves’) held by the charity should be between three and six months of the resources expended.
Reserves are held to cover the costs incurred should the organisation cease to function.
## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS**
We plan, within any relevant government guidelines, to continue providing services that meet the needs, post COVID, of the local community. This will be a mix of existing activities and new ones. The General Manager and Trustees will review service provision regularly consulting with staff, volunteers and users as appropriate.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing Document:**
Ainsdale Lunch and Leisure is a Company Limited by Guarantee and was incorporated on 13th March 2009. The Company was established under a Memorandum of Agreement, which established the objects and powers of the Company and is governed under its Articles of Association. It is registered with the Charity Commission. Anyone over the age of 18 can become a Stakeholder Member of the Company and there are currently 50 Stakeholder Members. Every Stakeholder Member undertakes to contribute such amount as required (not exceeding £10) if the Charity should be wound up.
## **Appointment of Board of Trustees:**
As set out in the Articles of Association not less than 51% of Trustees must be nominated by or approved for nomination by Ainsdale Methodist Church and Southport Methodist Circuit with a lesser proportion being elected by Stakeholder Members of the charitable company attending the Annual General Meeting. The longest serving one third of Trustees retires each year and are able to offer themselves for re-election. Trustees may co-opt new trustees provided they do not exceed the maximum agreed by Stakeholder Members, and the co-opted trustee must retire at the next Annual General Meeting, and they must not be taken into account in determining the Trustees who are to retire by rotation.
## **Trustee Induction and Training:**
New Trustees meet the Chair of the Board and Manager, are informed of the obligations of Trustees, and are given relevant information when they start.
Page 5
**Ainsdale Lunch and Leisure**
**Trustees Annual Report**
## **Organisation:**
The Board of Trustees, which must have a minimum of 3 trustees but no maximum unless agreed by an ordinary resolution of the Stakeholder Members, which currently sets the maximum number of trustees at 9, administers the charity.
The Trustees meet regularly throughout the year and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the Charity. There is a sub-committee covering finance which normally meets quarterly. Ainsdale Methodist Church and Ainsdale Lunch and Leisure work closely together to the benefit of both organisations and a steering group with representatives from each meets 4 times a year.
All members of the Board give their time voluntarily and receive no benefit/remuneration from the Charity. Any connection between a Trustee or Manager of the charity and any client or supplier is disclosed to the full Board of Trustees in the same way as any other contractual relationship with a related party. In the current year no such related party transactions were reported.
The General Manager of Ainsdale Lunch and Leisure is appointed by the Trustees to manage the Strategy and Marketing, in particular, fundraising of the charity and to oversee and support staff and volunteers working and development. The Office Manager is responsible for the day to day operations of the charity.
To facilitate effective operations the General Manager has delegated authority, within the terms of delegation approved by the Trustees, for operational matters including finance, employment and service delivery.
## **RISK MANAGEMENT**
The Trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:
• an annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity faces;
• the establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review; and
• the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.
This work has identified that financial sustainability is the major risk for the charity. A key element in the management of financial risk is a regular review of available liquid funds to settle debts as they fall due, regular liaison with the bank and active management of trade debtors and creditors balances to ensure sufficient working capital by the charity.
Attention has also been focussed on non-financial risks arising from fire, health and safety of clients, and food hygiene. These risks are managed by ensuring accreditation is up to date, having robust policies and procedures in place, and regular awareness training for staff working in these operational areas.
## **Policies:**
The Trustees take their governance of the charity very seriously. To aid transparency and accountability we have the following policies in place:
Abuse, Complaints, Data Protection, Privacy, Equality & Diversity, Financial, Health & Safety (with Fire Safety Procedures), Bad Weather Closure, Safeguarding, Bring Your Own Device.

## **Trustees Annual Report**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, for the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The above report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime as set out in Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

**Independent Examiners Report**
## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Ainsdale Lunch and Leisure**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Ainsdale Lunch and Leisure for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Summary Income and Expenditure Account, the Balance Sheet and the related notes.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act.
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's financial statements as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that:
- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the 2006 Act ; or
- the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements under section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the financial statements give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
- the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

Fixtures & Fittings 25% Straight line Equipment 25% Straight line
## **Freehold investment property**
Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.
## **Stocks**
Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.
## **Trade and other 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.
## **Cash and cash equivalents**

**Ainsdale Lunch and Leisure**
## **Notes to the Accounts**
## **Leased assets**
Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.
Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.
## **Pension costs**
The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.
## **Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services**
All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.
## 2 **Company status**
The company is a private company limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital.
