ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION CO-OPERATIVE LTD. (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03064585)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

ECCO's charitable aim is twofold:

  1. To protect and enhance the natural and built environment.

  2. To recycle and to provide good quality furniture, clothing and household items for the alleviation of poverty.

ECCO achieves the first aim by managing Parndon Wood Nature Reserve in Harlow, Essex. The reserve is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and is managed in partnership with Harlow Council and volunteer groups in accordance with Natural England's agreed management plan. This plan implements the standards that are essential to sustain the site's special status. Parndon Wood forms part of the Harlow Woods designated area which also includes Hospital and Risden Woods.

The site is open to the public five days a week and runs events focusing on environmental education. Over the year Parndon Wood has had approximately 16,000 visitors.

Parndon Wood also retained its Green Flag status, which acknowledges its standing as one of the UK's best parks.

The costs of the reserve are funded from the income of ECCO's reuse shops and a grant from Harlow Council.

ECCO achieves the second aim by recycling and reusing materials in its three shops in Harlow, Epping and Bishop's Stortford.

Significant activities

We continued to work in partnership with:

Essex County Council through the provision of Waste Electronic, Electrical Equipment (WEEE) and the provision of waste domestic batteries.

Harlow Council to divert waste from landfill through the Bulky Waste Intervention Scheme and through the management of Parndon Wood Nature Reserve.

As well as providing good quality items at a low price for sale in our shops, we have also provided items free of charge to people in the local community who are in need.

In February 2021 we moved into our new store in St James Centre which is on a commercial lease for 5 years. We opened after the lockdown ended in April 21, we employed 3 new members of staff due to the success of the new store. During the year ECCO had diverted approximately 1500 tonnes of material from landfill.

In addition to the continued commitment of the above activities, in the coming year ECCO will focus on improving Gift Aid procedures and increasing income from it.

The Trustees would like to acknowledge the dedication and hard work of the volunteers who make such an important contribution to the successful running of the organisation.

STRATEGIC REPORT

Financial position

Total income for the year amounted to £761,020 (2020-£699,864) and total expenditure £675,404 (2020-£622,078). Net movement in funds for the year was a surplus of £85,616 (2020-£77,786).

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review

Principal funding sources

The principal source of funding is the sale of donated goods from retail outlets. This is supplemented by waste recycling income and visitor fees from Parndon Wood.

Reserves policy

The Trustees have agreed a policy of holding reserves equivalent to six months expenditure. This policy is to ensure that the charity is able to deal with unforeseen circumstances. Reserves at the Balance Sheet date amounted to £483,990 (2020-£398,374).The Trustees consider that the reserves as at 30 June 2021 are sufficient to meet this objective.

Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has sufficient resources to continue operations for the foreseeable future. For this reason the going concern basis is adopted in preparing the financial statements.

Future plans

ECCO's main threat continues to be the instability which comes with short term leases. ECCO will continue to explore the opportunities of securing long term leases as the opportunities arise. We are in early discussions with Jones Lang Lasalle to move our current shop into the former Staples shop on the same trading estate. This will give us better security of tenure and larger square footage. This will be on a commercial lease, so income will have to increase to match the higher fixed costs.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by it's governing document, Memorandum and Articles of Association, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.The company became a registered charity on 15 July 2009.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Traditionally, trustees have been recruited by word of mouth and personal recommendation. The charity has been fortunate that the mix of expertise has been sufficient to enable the trustees to make informed decisions.

Organisational structure

The Board normally meets several times of the year to review performance and strategy. Day to day management is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer and his management team.

Key management remuneration

The Trustees consider the Board of Trustees and the senior management team, to whom all day to day management is delegated, to be the key management personnel of the charity.

All members of the Board of Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no financial benefits from the charity. Management remuneration is reviewed annually by reference to performance and similar charities.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Trustees have assessed major risks that the charity is exposed to, in particular those relating to operations and finances and are satisfied that the appropriate procedures are in place to mitigate those risks and are subject to regular review.

The key risks are the economic influences that may effect the supply of donated goods and their subsequent sale.

On 2 February 2021, the charity moved into adjacent premises in Harlow at a market rental on a fixed term for five years.This is in accordance with the Trustees policy to secure premises of a medium term tenure providing greater stability going forward.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION CO-OPERATIVE

LTD.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Environmental Conservation Co-operative Ltd. ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company 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 accounts 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.

Page 5

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION CO-OPERATIVE LTD.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  2. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  3. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (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 accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

GOING CONCERN

The charity's forecasts and projections indicate that it can meet its day-to-day working capital requirements as they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the approval of the accounts. In addition, the Trustees consider that the cash resources remain adequate to meet the charity's obligations as they fall due.

The Trustees have also considered the impact of coronavirus on the charity's operations. As the expected long-term duration of coronavirus became clearer, the Trustees completed an exercise to restructure the charity to reflect the impact of the pandemic on the economy. The exercise demonstrated the charity had sufficient cash resources to continue operations for the foreseeable future, being a period of no less than one year from the date of approval of these financial statements. On this basis, the Trustees consider the charity to be a going concern.

INCOME

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

EXPENDITURE

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Short leasehold - in accordance with the property lease Plant and machinery - 25% on reducing balance Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance Office equipment - 25% on cost

TAXATION

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

FUND ACCOUNTING

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

HIRE PURCHASE AND LEASING COMMITMENTS

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

PENSION COSTS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

STOCK

Stocks comprise second-hand goods, which have been donated. Unsold items are not included in closing stock since their cost is nil and their value is uncertain until sold.

Debtors

Other debtors are measured at the settlement amount. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.

Cash at Bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash held on current account with instant access.

Liabilities

Liabilities are recognised when 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.Liabilities and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount.

Financial instruments

The charity has financial assets and 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.
