At the heart of what we do is the way that we work with people. Our starting point for identifying the priorities for what we should do are underpinned by how we want to work.
We will offer practical ways that people can live happier healthier fulfilling lives and our approach is guided by the following values:
- Respect and dignity
- Inclusion

- Socially responsible
- Value for money
## **Our approach**
The strategies we have used to deliver practical ways to address health inequalities include:

- Ensuring people can access the right mix for them of the medical and healthy living support to get and stay well.
- Working collaboratively and in partnerships to increase the availability of accessible services and support that will enhance the health and wellbeing of local people.
We put these strategies into action by delivering services and projects in four specific and two cross cutting programme areas:

Our programme areas are co-designed with service users to complement one another and offer a joined-up approach to working individually and collaboratively with the community and key partners to tackle drivers of health inequalities and building stronger communities.
The charity produced a refreshed two-year business plan in February 2022 which outlined how we would deal with radically changing times in terms of the impact of Covid, the needs of local residents and what commissioners and funders will support. Covid pandemic brought new business opportunities – for example – new contracts to deliver community engagement to support contact tracing, Covid Marshalls, food network development and other responsive services.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
## **How our activities deliver public benefit**
During 2021-22, the charity carried out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The activities which are considered by Trustees to provide public benefit to residents in and around the Seven Sisters area of South Tottenham are reported under the following headings below:
- Response to Covid-19 pandemic

Haringey’s Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority (BAME) communities that were disproportionately impacted on by Covid -19.
- **Haringey Food Network** : With funding from Haringey Council, we strengthened the operation of a co-ordinated network of over 20 food banks / food providers.

- **Haringey Giving:** Haringey Giving undertook several campaigns that raised about £67,232 towards Covid-19 relief and emergency support.
## **Community facilities**
The charity holds the lease for three community buildings – Laurels Healthy Living Centre (long lease) Chestnuts Community Centre and Bridge Community Hut.
Our Main Offices are located within the Laurels Healthy Living Centre, which we share with several other GP and health related services. Despite the pandemic, essential staff continued to operate from the Laurels and ensured delivery of our critical services such as Home from Hospital, Tottenham Talking, Complementary Health, Special Education Needs and Disability (SEND) Parent Carer Forum and Finance.
Over 2021-22 we had to balance the use of our spaces to ensure that we could continue to serve the public, yet at the same time ensure that we remained safe and compliant with COVID regulations. Our spaces provide vital hubs for the local community. We experienced a huge spike in demand for space as soon as the lockdown restrictions were eased, particularly from local residents. Key activities delivered from our facilities included:
- The 3rd Annual Go Green Eco Festival at the Chestnuts Community Centre. The festival was a nine-day event with the bulk of activities being delivered from Chestnuts.
- Several community events to address barriers to digital inclusion such as support to help older people to participate in online forums over Zoom Meeting or Microsoft Teams.
- Healthy cooking classes at the Bridge Community Hut
- Range of activities to promote mental wellbeing – such as Tottenham Talking and events to support Black History month.

## **THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2022**
In 2022-23, our priorities for the community facilities will include:
- Organising a public event to promote the full re-opening of Chestnuts centre following the pandemic and encourage residents to access a range of inclusive activities to tackle isolation and other challenges.
- Enhance activities targeted at the most vulnerable members of the community adversely affected by Covid including isolated BAME people, older people, people with mental health problems, young people, parents and families and long-term unemployed people.
- Build on recent successes and achieve higher levels of community use of the centres compared to pre-Covid period.
## **Whole Health**
Our complementary Health Clinic is located on the Laurels ground floor and offers a range of complementary therapies. We are pleased that we were able to continue providing complementary therapies from our Complementary Health Centre at the Laurels Healthy Living Centre. The therapies provide a valuable service for clients to self-manage their various conditions. Over 60% of our clients are returning clients. Whilst it is challenging financially, we have kept the cost of a basic treatment at £40 to ensure that local residents have access to affordable treatments including:
- Basic Nail Cutting (primarily for elderly and disabled clients)
- Deep Tissue Massage
- Podiatry
- Reflexology
- Sports Rehabilitation
In 2022-23, we will continue the recovery of take up of the complementary health therapies and undertake recruitment of additional therapists to meet increasing demands.

In the period between April 2021 – March 2022, the community empowerment programme enabled the local community to increase control over their lives as it equipped them with the resources, skills, tools and experiences they need. The charity continued to play its part in reducing health inequalities and building stronger communities as it helped the local residents to lead a healthy lifestyle and made record improvements in wellbeing for themselves and their beloved families and neighbours. The achievements over the last year in each of the community-led empowerment programmes are reported below under the following service areas: Health@theHut, Home from Hospital Service, Connected Communities, Tottenham Talking, Mental Health community engagement **,** Community Outreach & Engagement (Somali speaking), Covid Marshall Community Support and Escape Pain:

In order to increase patient referrals to the Home from Hospital Service, which has been affected since the start of the Covid Pandemic, we have been carrying out intensive marketing and publicity activities using various methods such as promotional activities at Whittington, North Middlesex Hospitals, St Ann’s Road Surgery and at various GP Surgeries in Haringey, and liaising with Bridge Care Navigators, Social Prescribers and Haringey Circle.

## **THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2022**
## **Conclusion**
The last 12 months have been extremely challenging due to the impact of the pandemic. Our staff were recognised as key workers and had to continue providing practical support to the most vulnerable and lonely members of our community. Although there were fewer admissions and therefore discharge for non-Covid cohorts of patients, our staff had to provide more intensive support to discharged patients who were at risk of readmission.
In 2022 -23, we will continue to promote the service to pharmacies, doctors’ surgeries, care homes and libraries and connect with the emerging Haringey Locality Working model to increase referrals.
**Tottenham Talking** : The project, funded by NHS North Central London CCG through the Inequalities Fund, aims to engage BAME young people in a range of therapeutic group activities including art, drama, talking therapy, poetry, creative writing, dance, yoga and Zumba.

For this 12-month reporting period, we have: sent out 50 editions of the weekly bulletin and 39 Impact News, which is a standalone item; received 489 requests to include information in the bulletin: 49% from VCS organisations, 32.5% from statutory partners, 12% from other partners and 6.5% from other Bridge programmes; and increased our engagement rate from 42% to 55%, which means that we now have more than 770 subscribers highly engaged and that often open our emails and click on the links provided.
- **Promoting funding opportunities -** We have promoted 105 funding streams through our communications channels, including opportunities from the funders: Gov.UK, Mayor of London, Lloyd’s Foundation, City Bridge Trust, Sport England, The London Community Foundation, BBC Children in Need, The Henry Smith Charity, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, and many others.

**Haringey Community Expo 2021:** Due to the ongoing challenges presented by the COVID pandemic and out of an abundance of caution to our more vulnerable residents, we once delivered the Community Expo 2021 online. Over 150 people attended the different activities which formed this year’s event, including a breakfast networking session, a workshop discussion on Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG), and the flagship Community Impact Awards ceremony.
- **Breakfast Networking:** The learning we gained from delivering online events over the past two years led us to explore further our options and introduce the networking element of the Expo with a fun and productive breakfast speed dating event. Colleagues from the VCS, Haringey Council and the NHS were in attendance. This session was hugely successful, and we have plans to embed further networking sessions throughout the year ahead.
- **Workshop Discussion:** This event was planned in partnership with the Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) team at Haringey Council, as we marked the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. We worked together to invite Haringey frontline organisations to facilitate the discussions and we secured a tailored recorded message from the Domestic Abuse Commissioner for England and Wales to introduce the event.
� **Community Impact Awards ceremony:** another huge success and a chance for us all to celebrate the fantastic achievements of voluntary and community sector’s hard work.

The Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) on page 42 of this report detailed the trading results for the financial year.
30
## **THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2022**
Investment Policy: Trustees have agreed an updated investment policy with the following main objectives:
a) To produce the best financial return within an acceptable level of risk.
b) To generate a return in excess of inflation over the long term whilst generating an income to support the on-going activities of the charity.
c) To preserve the capital value with a minimum level of risk in the short-term. Assets should be readily available to meet unanticipated cash flow requirements.
d) To ensure the financial investments take into account the charity’s values and ethos. There is proven link between health inequalities and the consumption of alcohol, tobacco and poor diet.
The Finance and Investment Committee, chaired by the Treasurer, which meets as required, is tasked with meeting one of the Trust’s investment objectives for investing an appropriate amount of the reserves to generate an income to support the on-going activities of the charity. In September 2014, Trustees agreed an investment of **£50,000** of the Bridge Renewal Trust deposit funds into an Investment Funds. The value of the fund stood at **£62,565** (2021 £64,875). Unrealised capital loss of ( **£3,284)** (2021: gain of £9,549) was reported in the (SoFA) Statement of Financial Activities. The long lease value of **£2,979,200** on the balance sheet which includes the programme related investments of **£2,340,000** form part of the total funds balance of **£3,868,140** and represents property which cannot be readily realised.
**Reserves policy and going concern:** The Board of Trustees agreed in principle to set annual budgets in line with the projected annual income from grants, service contracts and earned income.
Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between spending and receiving of income and to cover unplanned emergency expenditures.
This year, the charity’s reserves have increased from £3,495,987 in 2021 to **£3,868,140** of which **£3,703,250** was unrestricted and **£164,890** restricted, an increase of £ **372,153** the details of which are given in note 18 to the accounts.
Decisions on expenditure of reserve funds are based on ensuring that:
- We aim to retain a level of reserves that equate to a target of six months’ operating costs. Actual free reserves of **£663,502** as a proportion of unrestricted expenditures at 31st March 2022 equated to **3.8** or approximately 4 months. **This is the level of funding required to meet cashflow activities.** There is still much to be done to achieve the six months’ operating costs target. This is to ensure that the organisation operates best practice as an employer, has flexibility against the need for unforeseen expenditures.
31
**THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2022**
- The Trustees have decided to continually monitor any potential loss- making arms of the charity with a view to reducing associated staff hours and, hence total costs.
- Expenditures will be to invest in social business, which meets the Bridge Renewal Trust’s charitable objects, rather than used to grant fund or resource unsustainable operations.
## **Risk Management**
A risk management strategy is in place comprising:
- Annual review of the principal risks faced by the charity and subsidiary company.
- Establishment and implementation of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate identified risks.
The following matters have been considered as part of the risk review by Trustees during the year:
- Board responsibilities and risks areas: Board development and training days have been held covering key areas such as risk management and financial management; and Register of Conflict of Interest for Trustees is kept up to date.
- Reputational risks – ensure that key contractual services such as the Strategic Partner service/Community Impact Haringey are successfully delivered.
- Operational and staffing issues - Operational Risk Register used to identify and manage these risks.
Trustees receive quarterly strategic risk reports that provide assurances that the risk management strategy is being effectively implemented.
Trustees have also identified key risks and threats to the charity which include the need to diversify income sources to avoid overdependence on a few main sources of income. We are managing these through regular risk assessment and post-pandemic community centre sustainability review. The viability of the Chestnuts Community Centre remains a concern in the short to medium term. As we move out of the pandemic, there are indications that activities and rental income are rising again. We are currently mitigating risks by controlling costs associated with premises and staff costs.
Through our Financial Procedures, we are ensuring that internal financial and operational controls are monitored and improved. The Board of Trustees have previously reviewed and clarified the role of the Finance and Investment Committee. The Finance and Investment Committee has been focusing on reviewing financial policies and improving procedures to improve financial and operational processes.

**THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2022**
## **PLANS FOR THE FUTURE**
As we come out of the worst of the pandemic period, we will build on our successes and focus our services on the following activities over the next year and beyond:
- Developing a new 5 - year Business Plan. Our current 2 - year plan (2021-23) was intended to deal with radically changing times in terms of the impact of Covid, the needs of local residents and what commissioners and funders will support.
- Reviewing the use of our community facilities and taking steps to build back and increase use of our community centres. As the demand for large public facing events increases, we propose to focus the use of our community space to provide a hub for voluntary and community sector organisations by securing anchor tenants and increasing community activities.
- Continue promoting healthier, stronger and safer communities through self-help initiatives and early help and preventive health and wellbeing services alongside residents.
- Provide leadership across the borough to ensure greater understanding of the disparities and promote equitable access to services – particularly in relation to groups disproportionately affected by the impact of COVID-19 such as Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups and other deprived communities.

None of our Trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the charity. Any connection between a Trustee or a senior manager of the charity must be disclosed to the full Board of Trustees. In 2021-22, no such related party transactions were reported.
## **The Trading Company – Bridge Renewal Services Ltd**
The Bridge Renewal Services is a trading arm of the Bridge Renewal Trust. It was set up to facilitate the development of a healthy living pharmacy as well as to allow for the easy development of other social businesses. The company directors include the founding Trustees. In 2020-21 the company did not trade (dormant) following a decision in 2012-13 to suspend the plans to open a pharmacy. The future of the company will be reviewed in 2022-23 alongside the proposed development of a Healthy Living Pharmacy at the Laurels.
## **Staffing**
The Chief Executive who is accountable to the Board of Trustees is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the charity. He is supported by a senior management team comprised of Head of Partnership, Director of Haringey Giving, Community Services & Facilities Manager, Voluntary Sector Development Manager, Finance and Monitoring Manager, Community Development
34
**THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2022**
Manager and Community Empowerment Manager who are responsible for co-ordinating the delivery of services and facilities management. In 2021-22, the workforce was comprised of 44 members of staff. A framework is in place to allow essential support service contracts such HR and Employment Law, Health and Safety advice, Payroll and IT. Trustees reviewed senior management capacity during the year and agreed the establishment of a new Head of Programme Delivery position. The role will support the Chief Executive and take on the line management of several programme managers and front-line delivery staff. This role will be recruited to in 2022-23.
## **Pay policy for senior staff**
The pay of senior staff is reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with satisfactory employee performance appraisal and organisational financial health. In February 2022, Trustees approved a 3% cost of living pay rise for the entire work force with effect from 1 April 2022 to help mitigate the rising costs of living. This increase was informed by best practices within the sector – both locally and nationally. Overall remuneration is benchmarked against pay levels in similar sized organisations and adjusted for any additional responsibilities.
Where recruitment has proven difficult, a market addition can be paid with the pay maximum comparable to the highest benchmarked salary in a comparable role.
## **Fundraising Policy**
The charity understands its duty to protect the public, including vulnerable people from unreasonably intrusive or persistent fundraising approaches and undue pressure to donate. The charity employs a Director of Haringey Giving who leads on all fundraising matters including dealings with external online fundraising platforms. The charity does not currently use external fundraising agencies for either telephone or face-to-face campaigns. We raise funds in compliance with the Code of Fundraising Practice of the Fundraising Regulator in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
We received no fundraising complaints during the year (2021: Nil).
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES**
The charity trustees (who are also Directors of the Bridge Renewal Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
35
## **THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2022**
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year and not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charity as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditures, for the year then ended.
In preparing those financial statements which give a true and fair view, the Trustees should follow best practice and:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS102-2019).
- Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
- State whether applicable 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 operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and which 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 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 corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
## **Statement as to disclosure to our auditors**
In so far as the Trustees are aware at the time of approving our Trustees’ annual report:
- There is no relevant information, being information needed by the auditors in connection with preparing their report, of which the organisation’s finance staff is unaware, and
- The Trustees, having made enquiries of fellow Directors and the organisation’s finance staff that they ought to have individually taken, have each taken all steps that he/she is obliged to take as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.

**Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of The Bridge Renewal Trust**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of The Bridge Renewal Trust (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise of the Statement of Financial Activities, the Charitable Company Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, 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 Financial Reporting Standard 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:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2022, and of the charity’s incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006
## **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 charitable company 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 charitable company'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.
38
**Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of The Bridge Renewal Trust**
## **Other information**
The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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:
- the information given in the trustees’ report (incorporating the directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company 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:
- adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept by the charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the charitable company’s financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
- the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies exemptions in preparing the trustees’ report and from the requirements to prepare a strategic report.
39
**Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of The Bridge Renewal Trust**
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company 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 charitable company’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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with regulations made under those Acts.
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.
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.
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:
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the Charitable Company and the sector in which it operates and considered the risk of the Charitable Company not complying with the applicable laws and regulations including fraud in particular those that could have a material impact on the financial statements. This included those regulations directly related to the financial statements, including financial reporting, and tax legislation. In relation to the operations of the Charitable Company this included compliance with the Charities Act 2011 and Companies Act 2006.
The risks were discussed with the audit team and we remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. We carried out specific procedures to address the risks identified. These included the following:
Reviewing minutes of Board meetings, reviewing any correspondence with the Charity Commission, agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation, and made enquiries of management and officers of the Charitable Company. We have also reviewed the procedures in place for the reporting of any incidents to the Trustee Board including serious incident reporting of these matters as necessary with the Charity Commission. We also reviewed the latest risk register and legal fees in the period.
40
## **Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of The Bridge Renewal Trust**
Management override: To address the risk of management override of controls, we carried out testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness. We also assessed management bias in relation to the accounting policies adopted and in determining significant accounting estimates.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charitable company’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 charitable company’s members and its trustees 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 charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body and the charitable company’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **1. Accounting policies**
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. Each member is liable to contribute a sum not exceeding £1 in the event of the charity being wound up
The company is incorporated in England and Wales with registered office at 256 St Ann's Road, London N15 5AZ
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**
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 the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1st October Reporting 2019 - Charities SORP (FRS102)), themFinancial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Charities Act 2011 and Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention. The functional currency is £ sterling.
The financial statements comply with the requirements of FRS102.
The Bridge Renewal Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historic cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
## **b) Preparation of accounts on a going concern basis**
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
## **c) Income**
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, and any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants , whether 'capital' or 'revenue' grants is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grant have been met, it is probable the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered when the amount can be measured have reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies been notified to the charity or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition are have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material..
Income received in advance of service is deferred until the criterial for income recognition are met.
## **d) Critical accounting judgements and estimates**
In preparing these financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the charity's accounting policies and reported assets, liabilities, income and expenditure and the disclosures made in the financial statements. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
## **e) Donated services and facilities**
Donated professional services and facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with Charities (SORP 102) the general volunteer time is not recognised and to refer to the trustees' annual report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
45
**The Bridge Renewal Trust Notes to the Financial Statements year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)**
## **f) Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
## **g) Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside for specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are be solely used for particular areas of charity's work or for specific purpose. Funds are also raised for specific restricted purposes.
## **h) Expenditure**
Expenditure is 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. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
- Costs of raising funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and costs of trading for fundraising purposes.
- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
## **i) Allocation of support costs**
Support costs have been allocated between expenditure categories of the SOFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to particular activity are allocated directly; others are apportioned on an appropriate basis. The basis on which support costs are allocated are set out in note 4.
## **j) Operating leases**
The charity classifies the lease of printing (photocopiers) IT servers, telephone handsets, etc equipment as operating leases; the title to the equipment remains with the lessor and the equipment should be replaced every 5 years or, remain on a rolling basis. Rental charges are charged on a straightline basis over the term of the lease.
## **k) Tangible fixed assets**
Individual fixed assets or bulk purchase of the same class of assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives as follows:
Fixtures and fittings 25% straightline
Computer equipment 25% straightline
Laurels long leasehold 2% straightline Improvement to building On the remaining leasehold duration
## **l) Investments**
Investments are held at market value as at the Balance Sheet date
The Charity holds 100% of the share capital in the presently dormant subsidiary company The Bridge Renewal Services Limited at cost.
## **m) Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due.
## **n) Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of the acquisition or opening the deposit or similar account.
## **o) Creditors and provisions**
Creditors and provisions 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 and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts due.

**The Bridge Renewal Trust Notes to the Financial Statements year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)**
## **p) 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, which is at cost, with the exception of:
- Investments measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date;
- Fixed assets are measured at cost less depreciation;
The Invesments note 11 details the historic cost of investments and the unrealised gains/(losses) to arrive at their fair value.
## **q) Pensions**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity in an independently administered fund.The pension cost charge represents contributions payable .under the scheme by the charity to the fund.
