Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 July 2021
Objectives and activities
The charity's objects
To advance education and training of adults with a learning disability within Calderdale, in particular but not exclusively to improve their self esteem, confidence, personal development and break down social isolation.
The charity's main activities
We run a day service for adults with a wide range of disabilities. Added to this, we now run a charity shop which is generating income to support the service.
Public benefit statement
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of education and training.
Achievements and performance
We have managed to provide a substantial service to our clients throughout the pandemic, even when we had to close the building due to guidelines for 5 months. During the year we have increased our client base and the charity shop is now back up and running.
We are continuing with plans to refurbish the upstairs part of our premises. We intend to have a kitchen and dining area where the clients will be taught to prepare and serve food with good nutritional value. They will be made aware of the difference between healthy and unhealthy meals. We also plan to have a drama, dance and exercise area and healthy lifestyles all will become an integral part of what we offer. This was put on hold due to the pandemic.
Our new trustees are working well together with fresh ideas on how to improve the service provided.
Financial review
The net income for the year was £30,655, which was all on unrestricted funds.
At the time of signing these accounts the charity has been impacted by the global Covid-19 virus. The trustees have reassessed the charity’s ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date that the accounts are approved and conclude that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Reserves policy
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £71,631.
Run by a board of elected trustees, The Hive takes a responsible approach to the service it provides and has developed a reserves policy with the following aims:
To have an unrestricted reserve between 3 and 6 months of the annual running costs. At present, based on current budget, this would amount to between £25,000 and £50,000. This would, in the event of unforeseen circumstances and disruption to normal income, allow time to explore other sources of funding.
In addition we would like a further amount of £4,000 to pay for equipment, training material and temporary project workers where necessary.
This policy will be reviewed annually.
The excess reserves will be used on making improvements to the services we provide as detailed in the review of activities.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 July 2021
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts 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.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Hive (Halifax) Ltd
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 July 2021, which are set out on pages 6 to 12.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the charitable 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 charitable 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 ('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.
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 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)].
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.

Going concern
The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Grants and donations
Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.
Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
Donated goods for resale are valued at the amount actually realised upon their sale.
Donated assets, facilities or services are valued at their estimated value to the charity. This is the price that the charity estimates it would pay in the open market for equivalent items; or services and facilities of equivalent utility to the charity.
Expenditure and liabilities
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
Taxation
As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets costing more than £500 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Gifted assets are shown at the value to the charity on receipt.
