PARKFIELD LIGHTHOUSE LIMITED

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2021

Structure, governance and management

Governing document

The organisation is a charitable Company limited by guarantee and incorporated on 31[st] March 2000 and is governed under its Articles of Association as amended by special resolution dated 20[th] April 2010. The company registered as a charity on 6[th] May 2010.

Recruitment and appointment, induction and training of Trustees

Trustees are appointed at a meeting of the charity’s board on the basis of nominations received by the board. Trustees are selected by the board based on their eligibility, personal competence, specialist skills and relevant experience. New trustees receive an induction into the workings of the charity. All trustees are appointed for a period of three years and can then stand for re-election.

Organisational structure

The Board meets regularly to decide matters of policy and strategy. They agree areas of activity for the Drop in and the subsidiary companies. Day to day management is delegated to the chief executive and his team who staff the Drop in, Nursery and Coffee Shop.

Objectives and Activities including Public Benefit Statement

The charity’s objects as set out in its Articles of Association are:

  1. To advance education and provide facilities in the interest of social welfare with the object of improving the condition of life for the inhabitants of Parkfield and the surrounding area of Stockton.

  2. To protect and preserve the good health of those persons in need, in particular, those who are in danger of becoming addicted to or dependent upon drugs of any discipline, alcohol and other addictive substances by the provision, where appropriate, of a counselling service and by educating them in matters relating to the safeguarding of good health.

  3. To relieve poverty and need by the provision of luncheon and other such services, in particular but not exclusively for those from economically or socially disadvantaged backgrounds.

The charity develops, provides and maintains drop in facilities for those with mental health difficulties in the Parkfield and surrounding area of Stockton on Tees. The Charity is based at 34 Yarm Road, Stockton, known as “The Lighthouse Centre”. The charity actively raises funds through its wholly owned subsidiary, The Lighthouse Nursery Limited which runs both the nursery and coffee shop. It also has a dormant subsidiary, The Lighthouse Coffee Shop Limited.

The trustees have considered the Charity Commission guidelines on public benefit in determining the charity’s aims and objectives.

PARKFIELD LIGHTHOUSE LIMITED

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2021

Risk management

The trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have reviewed those risks and established systems and procedures to manage those risks. A major risk would be a reduction the performance of the trading subsidiary which contributes to the running costs of the charity. The trustees carefully monitor the subsidiary’s performance and costs and as a result the subsidiary continues to make a significant contribution to the charity.

The charity also needs to continue to attract volunteers and so makes constant efforts to recruit new volunteers and to match volunteers’ needs with operational requirements.

Achievements and performance

Service Provision

The contribution of the Lighthouse Centre to the welfare and ethos of the Parkfield area of Stockton has been widely acknowledged by users and visitors alike. The provision of refreshment and a “haven” for those who are in mental difficulty has been described as a “lifeline”.

Parkfield Lighthouse Limited took over the provision of the drop-in service when the previous provider was forced to stop. This drop in provides a varied service with significant input from people who attend regularly. The counselling service has been extended to people who chose not to use other drop in facilities but still struggle with their mental health.

The trustees value the efforts made by staff and volunteers alike to continue the service. Continued fundraising activities would enable the manager’s role to return to near full time which would benefit the Centre as a whole.

Financial Review and Reserves Policy

Parkfield Lighthouse Limited ends this financial year in a strong financial position.

An amount of £83,181 has been added to free reserves during the year. The charity’s reserves policy is to aim to have sufficient in free reserves to allow the charity to continue its activities and to affect a smooth close down should that be necessary and this is kept under close review by the trustees. Free reserves are unrestricted funds which are not designated or tied up in fixed assets. At 31[st] March 2021, the value of free reserves was £121,710.

In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 2 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are as to develop, provide and maintain drop in facilities for those with mental health difficulties in the Parkfield and surrounding areas of Stockton on Tees.

The charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(c) Income recognition

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.

Donated facilities and donated professional services are recognised in income at their fair value when their economic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably and the charity has control over the item. Fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. For example the amount the charity would be willing to pay in the open market for such facilities and services. A corresponding amount is recognised in expenditure.

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102). Further detail is given in the Trustees’ Annual Report.

For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received. At this point income is recognised. On occasion legacies will be notified to the charity however it is not possible to measure the amount expected to be distributed. On these occasions, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed.

Investment income is earned through holding cash in a deposit account and is recognised when it is earned.

(d) Expenditure recognition

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All direct costs relate to the charity’s charitable activities.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(e) Support costs allocation

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity.

The analysis of these costs is included in note 3.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.

(f) Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:

Fixtures and fittings 25% reducing balance Plant and machinery 25% reducing balance Leasehold property Economic period which has expired

(g) Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

(h) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(i) Employee benefits

When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are expensed as they become payable.

(j) Tax

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

(k) Going concern

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.
