The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021.

A. Raising public awareness of the issues affecting blind and partially sighted people, both generally and in relation to their social exclusion.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities** 

Treasurer's Report to the AGM Year-End 2021 

As Treasurer of CDFB I have a responsibility to keep an eye on the overall financial position of the charity. To that end this brief summary is based on the annual Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021 for Chester and District Federation of the Blind (CDFB) which were prepared by Chartered Accountants Johnstone Howell & Co., as approved by the board of trustees of the Charity prior to this AGM. 

The single most notable thing about the year was, of course, the ongoing Covid-19 health emergency. Tiered level restrictions by area had already been introduced in 2020, and during 2021 pandemic control measures were eased and by the summer months had been greatly reduced. CDFB continued to adjust to the changing circumstances as the Government made efforts to bring the UK's economy out of pandemic mode in gradual steps. I'm pleased to be able to report that despite the challenges the Charity continued to cope remarkably well. Resources were switched back to begin to incorporate "normal" modes of operation. Hence some routine costs, much reduced due to the curtailment of social activities/events, for example transport costs began to rise again (travel costs more than doubling from £5,451 in 2020 to £11,634). Funding levels were maintained thanks to significant grants being received, in particular from the National Lottery and the Morgan Foundation in particular (income from those being £10,000 and £35,875 respectively). 

Overall, the total Charity income was a very healthy £222,646. This represents a small decrease in relation to the equivalent figure for 2020 of £230,441. Income from fund raising events was £18,880, an increase on the 2020 figure again reflecting the gradual lifting of social restrictions. Contributions to income in 2021 continued to include grants received and Government support although these were less than in 2020 due to pandemic support tapering off. As in previous years, the largest single contribution to Charity income was the £152,605 of donations, the vast majority of which came from the CDFB Trading Ltd. (the Charity's subsidiary) with the activities at the Depot and shops continuing to be a financial success story. 

At the year-end, total funds held by the charity were £576,600 (including £5,378 of restricted funds) representing a  19% increase of £91,879 on the 2020 figure. 

Despite challenges the Charity has persevered and continued to build up a very solid financial position. With the reserves now available CDFB can make further progress with the renewal of vehicles during 2022 and to seriously contemplate the refurbishment of the Ellesmere Port Depot and Shop. At the same time the core business of providing services can be kept under constant review given the flexibility provided by the reserves available. 

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our wonderful volunteers and dedicated staff. The volunteers usually add well in excess of 350 hours every week, a huge positive contribution to the organization. Without such conscientious workers we would not have been able to deliver services and continue to be valued by the community. 

Recommendation: to re-assess the value of the Rossmore Unit for inclusion in future financial statements.

## Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2021 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

At present the charity has two major sources of income, profits from trading and income from fundraising. There is a third source of income, grants but the charity does not rely on grant funding for core costs, grant funding tends to be used to run specific projects and buy specified equipment. 

Though the charity creates its own income we cannot be certain that there will never be a down turn in trading or a loss of fundraising opportunities. Therefore, our income cannot be guaranteed. For this reason the charity should hold money in reserve to cover a lean period and/or to cover the cost of redundancies and other obligations in the case of the charity being forced to close. 

To avoid closure if funding difficulties were to happen the Chester and District Federation of the Blind board of trustees has agreed to keep a certain level of financial reserves to ensure that main operations can continue for a period of six months in the event of loss of income. 

The main concerns of the board are to ensure: 

That staff can continue working, primarily to secure new funding and That members/service users are supported to move on to other services. 

The level of reserves is calculated and monitored every 12 months as the amount of reserves required will alter according to the number of staff we employ and other commitments the charity may undertake. 

The board has decided that a sum of £100,000 should be held in reserve to cover six months outgoings. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document**

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Chester and District Federation of the Blind 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Chester and District Federation of the Blind** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Chester and District Federation of the Blind (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2021. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

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

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 

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.

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Freehold property - 2% on cost Improvements to property - 2% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 15% on cost Motor vehicles - 20% on cost Computer equipment - 33% on cost 

## **Taxation**
