## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**
The Directors of the charitable company (‘the Charity’) are its Trustees for the purposes of charity law and throughout this report are collectively referred to as the Trustees.
The Trustees present their report and the financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2021. The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charity comply with the provisions of 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 2015)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.
## a) **Details of Charity** - see page 3
## b) **Structure, Governance and Management**
## (i) **Status and Constitution**
On 23rd November 2010, the Trustees incorporated a company limited by guarantee bearing the name Age Concern Epsom & Ewell which was subsequently granted charitable status by the Charity Commission. The company remained dormant until 31st March 2011 when, with the approval of members of the organisation, the net assets and employees of Age Concern Epsom and Ewell (an unincorporated charity no 248704, with a history going back to 1947) were transferred to the company. Activities commenced on 1st April 2011.
In November 2013, the Charity became a Friend of Age UK.
The company is limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding up is limited to £1.
The Articles state that the Board shall consist of, the Chair of the Charity, six persons elected by the members at an Annual General Meeting or such other number as may be determined, up to two persons nominated by Epsom and Ewell Borough Council and persons co-opted under the provision of Article 22.29 and 22.10. The Board shall also be Trustees of the Charity.
## (ii) **Risk Management**
The major risks to which the Charity is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate risks.

Age Concern Epsom and Ewell
The Trustees have purchased what they are advised is suitable insurance cover for staff (paid and volunteer) who work with the Charity and for the beneficiaries of the services provided by the charity.
Full details are given in our Financial Policy, available from the office.
## c) **Public Benefit**
When reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities the Trustees have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
## d) **Objectives and Activities**
The objects of the Charity are to promote and assist in the general well-being of elderly people in and around the Borough of Epsom and Ewell. This is fulfilled by providing transport, advice and information services, home visiting, social support services, footcare services and other activities all listed below:
## **Coronavirus**
Coronavirus obviously had a huge impact on the level of services we were able to offer to our clients. We tried to maintain as many as we could and were open for Information and Advice, Transport service, Home visiting (by phone), Befriending (by phone). We even introduced more – Shopping and also Prescription collection which were extremely well received by both our existing clients and many new ones. We also delivered goodie bags and cream teas (sponsored by local businesses) to some clients who needed to be cheered up.
The Foot clinic, Sunday Teas, IT Support, DIY and Men’s Club services were put on hold during the lockdown periods.
## **Information and Advice / Home Visiting**
We provide confidential information and advice on a wide range of issues affecting older people. This service is open between 9.30am and 1.00pm Mon - Fri to telephone, e mail and personal callers. Older people may contact us themselves or a family member who has concerns. We work with numerous voluntary and statutory sector organisations who signpost clients wishing to use our services. This may be via the Epsom & Ewell Social Services Locality Team, Central Surrey Health Community Matrons, Social Prescribing, Hospital to Home, Sight for Surrey, care businesses. The I&A enquiry may be signposted to another ACEE service i.e. Medical Transport scheme, befriending/social support, toe nail cutting clinic or to an outreach service such as the Alzheimer’s Society, Silverline, Action for Carers Surrey.
An enquiry through the I&A team may result in a home visit. Home Visitors help to obtain Blue Badges for parking and Attendance Allowance benefit claims enabling people to have funds to help make life easier for themselves. The Home Visitor can assess clients’ needs in their own surroundings often resulting in finding out that a client has more needs than originally thought and referrals to the Occupational Therapist team, Social Services and specialist organisations can be made.
5
Age Concern Epsom and Ewell
## **Social Support Services: Befriending Service**
The service is provided to older, lonely and vulnerable people. Befrienders visit for one hour per week and it is important that the client and befriender ‘click’ i.e. have a common interest and that their temperaments are compatible. If a befriender does not ‘click’ with a client a more suitable match is sought.
Friendships are formed that in some cases last for years and we often find that volunteers go above and beyond just having a cup of tea and chat with their client. As a result, isolation is reduced and any worries or concerns e.g. about health, mobility, benefits etc. can be relayed if appropriate by the befriender to ACEE so that they can try to resolve the problem.
## **Community Companions**
Community Companions is an ‘on demand’ service supporting clients on visits that may feel a little daunting. This may be by accompanying them to a first visit to a new social activity or day centre, to view alternative accommodation when making decisions about moving home or make sense of an ever increasing pile of paperwork. Clients using this service tend to be older, more vulnerable people, and are often living alone.
## **Sunday Teas**
Once a month a Sunday tea is held which involves a combination of socialisation, activities and entertainment and provides a full afternoon tea. This long-established service is for older people who feel lonely and want some company, entertainment and varied activities. There is a small charge for the tea and transport can be provided by volunteer drivers and is taken up by most of the attendees. It gives clients the opportunity of making new friends in a welcoming environment.
## **Hearing Aids**
Batteries can be obtained at our offices.
## **Foot Clinic**
Based at the Community and Wellbeing Centre our practitioners cut toenails, file skin and give advice on footcare. There is a one-off registration fee including instruments. A charge is then made per attendance.
## **Medical Transport Scheme**
The scheme is for members to attend medical appointments, visit family or friends in hospital or residential homes or any other journey that is deemed appropriate for the members wellbeing. The transport scheme is run and serviced by volunteers overseen by a member of staff. A unique part of the scheme is that the volunteer driver stays with the client for up to two hours escorting them personally to their appointment. Clients pay per trip and drivers claim mileage expenses.
6
Age Concern Epsom and Ewell
## **IT Support**
Our band of IT volunteers help clients to make better use of their computer, tablet, smart phone etc. usually by one to one support. Training is also offered at the monthly computer club held at The Old Town Hall.
## **DIY**
Our volunteers help to do small DIY jobs e.g. putting up shelves, curtain poles etc.
## **Men’s Club**
The “ACE Men’s Club” offers the opportunity for the older man, particularly those experiencing loneliness and social exclusion, to overcome the difficulties they have in accessing opportunities to meet socially and enjoy an activity or pastime; enabling them to live a more fulfilling life during their older years and make friends.
## e) **Achievements and Performance**
All our charitable activities focus on empowering older people in Epsom & Ewell to live the most fulfilling lives they can and are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit. The review of our activities above clearly illustrates the delivery of public benefit.
## f) **Financial Review**
The Statement of Financial Activities show that income exceeded expenditure by £54,627 This compares with an excess of expenditure over income 2019-20 of £32,730.
The Balance Sheet shows funds of £358,279 (2019-20 £247,418).
## **Principal Funding Resources**
The Charity always receives a vital grant (in the form of accommodation) from Epsom & Ewell Borough Council. This amounts to circa 10% of the Charity's expenditure. This year the rental cost was waived completely because of coronavirus. Other income sources are -
- Investment income from the Designated Fund
- Fundraising including Donations and Legacies
- Paid for services
- Grants
Any deficit of income over expenditure is met by withdrawal from the Designated Funds.
## **Reserves Policy**
The Trustees have decided the Charity should hold sufficient Reserves to cover approximately six months operating expenditure (approximately £80,000). The remainder of the Reserves form the Designated and Restricted Funds as described below. As at end March 2021, the Designated Funds stood at approximately £351,411.
7
Age Concern Epsom and Ewell
In addition, on a quarterly basis, the Governance group review the 18 month horizon for financial viability.
The Trustees also review the level of Reserves on a quarterly basis.
## **Restricted Funds**
We have been successful in being awarded grants/funding to support specific services/events that we deliver directly benefitting our clients.
## **Men’s Club Service**
## **£4939**
This fund supports the sustainability of activities for older gentlemen to reduce isolation and loneliness. This is a project delivered in various outreach settings within the borough supported by a paid member of staff and volunteers.
## **Capital Equipment**
## **£1021**
A grant for capital equipment was given to us during the Coronavirus pandemic to enable working from home.
**PPE £908**
A grant for PPE was given to us to enable ACEE to equip all necessary personnel; staff, volunteers and clients with the appropriate protective equipment to keep everyone safe. We envisage needing to provide PPE for the foreseeable future and the remainder of the grant will be spent accordingly.
## **Investment Policy**
The investment principles adopted by the Trustees are:
- To appoint professional financial managers to manage the Charity’s investments
- To protect the real value of our assets and income by holding a diversified balanced portfolio of asset classes in order to reduce risk.
- To tolerate a low / medium level of risk in our investments
- To have a reasonable level of investments in readily convertible assets, including cash, in order to provide flexibility.
The Investment Advisors have a brief to hold a balanced portfolio with a low to medium level of risk in order to provide income and growth in line with our Investment principles. The investment portfolio consists primarily of UK Fixed Interest & UK and International Equities with small holdings of Commercial Property, Alternative assets & cash.
The Charity’s investments are managed by Mulberry Independent Financial Advisors and Investec Wealth and Investment Limited, who have a brief to provide income and growth in line with our Investment policy outlined above.

## **Trustees’ Responsibilities**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Charity 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 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 proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity. These enable them to ascertain the financial position of the charity and to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. Approved by the Trustees and signed on their behalf on 8[th] September 2021.

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Age Concern Epsom & Ewell ('the Company')**
We report to the charity trustees on our examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 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 ourselves 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, we report in respect of our examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out our examination we have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
We have completed our examination. We confirm that no matters have come to our attention in connection with the examination giving us 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
3. 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
4. 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)].
We 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
