- ii. Promote and support community resources for the area in association with other voluntary groups and Statutory Agencies 

- iii. Promote and support the development of community buildings to provide facilities for all residents 

- iv. Encourage the participation of local residents in all forms of voluntary activity, education, and employment, which may improve the quality of life in "the area of benefit". 

## **Charity's Aims** 

## **Purpose** 

The Hangleton & Knoll Project (HKP) is a Community Development charity and company limited by guarantee. We work in the Hangleton and Knoll ward of Brighton and Hove in South East England. A part of the community since 1983 we are an organisation working for the community with the community and managed by the community. Right from the start local residents have shaped and developed the organisation to become what it is today; a model of good practice for how a community is able to develop and manage its own resources and services. 

## **Mission** 

HKP is a resident led organisation that exists to work in partnership with the neighbourhood we serve, to access and develop opportunities and resources, facilitate positive change, and deliver effective and appropriate services, as identified by those people who live in our communities. 

## **Vision** 

HKP seeks optimum ways of working with, and for the benefit of, the whole community. We do this to mitigate and/or eliminate the wide range of social and economic difficulties that many people, affected by high levels of social deprivation in our neighbourhood, experience. We seek to improve the quality of life of people in Hangleton and Knoll by working in partnership with all local residents, community groups and service providers, to access and develop opportunities, resources and services, and to facilitate positive changes that have been collectively identified by residents, many of whom have developed the confidence and capacity to lead that change. 

## **Values** 

HKP's community development, youth work and community learning practices are guided by the underlying principles and values of partnership work, needs led approach, joined-up thinking, volunteering, self-help, equality, community and individual empowerment. This approach recognises the skills, assets and diversity of all our residents.

**THE HANGLETON & KNOLL PROJECT (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07260539) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **High level outcomes** 

- To increase a sense of trust and feeling of belonging in Hangleton and Knoll and reduce social isolation 

- To improve the health and wellbeing of all residents and increase ability to self-manage and reduce negative impacts of long-term conditions 

- To reduce all kinds of inequality by maximising life chances for all 

- To build community and individual resilience and empower local people to have more control over the issues that affect them 

- To increase skills, confidence and knowledge in local people 

- To increase participation in all levels of decision making, volunteering and community action 

- To build confidence to participate in learning and employment 

- To ensure responsive services based on both identified need and demographic analysis 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities** 

## **Community Development** 

Community development is the process of enhancing socially or economically disadvantaged communities by working with local people to develop the skills, knowledge and experience necessary to collectively improve their community's resources. 

In practical terms, the Community Development Team: 

- makes contact with residents 

- develops relationships 

- raises the awareness of residents' common concerns and responsibilities 

- helps foster a feeling of ownership of their area 

- co-ordinates the coming together of residents to agree a plan of action 

- supports the development of a group to undertake the tackling of an issue 

- supports them through their development for 6 months to a year so that they are able to fully undertake their individual and group roles and manage issues such as fundraising, financial management, forward planning, working as a team, and the delivery of a service. 

At the end of the process, the community has an additional resource, targeted at an identified need, which is independent, self-sustainable and physically and financially accessible to residents. 

The community development process is effective in maximising organisational time as the independent management of pieces of work by the community enables the community development worker to move on to support the development of further community initiatives. Community managed services also alleviate the demand placed upon the resources of statutory agencies. 

Within the process, the development work is taking place primarily not for the end product - e.g., to set up a group 

- increasing the capability and skills of individuals 

- developing support networks and easing isolation 

- increasing the skills base of the community as a whole 

- improving community resources. 

Additional to direct work with residents is work with statutory agencies and other providers to develop a climate in which residents and local community groups are able to have an active role in the development of their neighbourhood. This includes: 

- the development of meetings where residents can request information, make suggestions and challenge agencies; 

- liaising with agencies to signal the needs of the target area or to raise difficulties caused by policies or practice; 

- informing residents of new and existing policy, opportunities presented by these, and facilitating a process where involvement and planning can take place.

## **Youth Work** 

All youth work delivered by the Charity follows the community development ethos as listed above. In addition, it works to the Youth Service Core Curriculum: 

- Personal and Social Education: helping young people in making informed and constructive choices about their personal well-being regarding health, education and training, employment, recreation and legal issues as well as making and maintaining positive personal relationships. 

- Participation and Empowerment: good youth work practice puts young people at the centre of its programmes - young people voluntarily participate in the planning and direction of the programmes as decision makers as well as participants. It encourages young people's development of critical faculties and promotes the confidence with which to take control of their own lives - at local, community, City, national and international levels. 

- Equality of Opportunity: youth workers are expected to challenge oppression and inequality as well as encouraging young people to do the same. 

- Voluntary Engagement: the Charity provides a range of programmes that young people can engage with voluntarily. These programmes offer a range of opportunities and challenging experiences in the company of their peers and the local community. The work supports a successful transition into adulthood. 

These aims are achieved through the implementation of a range of youth work methodologies including: 

- Youth Bus 

- Group, activities and project work 

- One to one and youth coaching support 

- Work in schools 

- Partnership work with other agencies and services 

## **Community Based Learning** 

HKP has developed a 'UK Online' IT training suite in St. Richard's community centre with free access community WiFi. We provide informal and formal IT and other needs led training and facilities to increase the skills and confidence of local residents. This work is delivered by qualified tutors and supported by volunteer sessional trainers recruited from former learners. Learning is provided free 

Community Learning activities typically include: 

- Training for Community Groups e.g., committee skills, development days 

- Taster sessions 

- Free weekly IT drop-ins - both day and evening sessions and telephone and online 

- 1:1 training with local residents 

- Supporting communications e.g., social media training, how to design a leaflet, video conferencing 

- Helping groups use Funder Finder 

- ESOL (English as a second language) courses 

- Basic IT courses 

- Wellbeing, Cookery and self-improvement courses 

- Exercise and fitness courses 

- Accredited courses e.g. First Aid, Food Hygiene 

- Help with CVs 

- Job applications and job search 

- Online courses 

- Information and advice about other courses, training, volunteering and community groups 

We are managing increasing community demand in this area - particularly those seeking employment support or needing help with IT not to be left behind in accessing services - have seen us adapt our delivery and we now have additional IT drop-ins staffed by trained volunteers, complementing our tutor led work. We have also increased the work we do with other agencies to ensure that they deliver training in our local venues, which we promote via our networks and staff, for example projects with the local health system to increase access to primary care.

## **Social investments** 

The Charity does not hold any social or programme related investments. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Grant making** 

Grant making is not a material part of the Charity's activities. 

## **Volunteers** 

Volunteer input to the work of the Project consists of the valuable contribution made by the Trustees, local residents and others (names can be found under Trustee and Volunteer sections). The Project works with many volunteers in the local community and seeks to increase volunteer participation in the various existing and newly formed community organisations. Local volunteers support the delivery of a range of IT training opportunities. When recruiting new staff, the Project seeks the involvement of at least one local volunteer resident in the shortlisting and interview process.

- sustainable, community-based solutions. We know that this support is a resident priority, that we are highly successful, and that this work will be ever more needed. 

- Work with the Arts steering group on uses of the Downsman site - this site is delayed until 2023 due to Covid. We aim to create a community led arts and wellbeing space. 

- Further develop our successful partnership with the Trust for Developing Communities, Sussex Interpreting Services and Racial Harassment Forum to engage with Black and Minority Ethnic residents to grow and develop the City's Black and ethnically diverse (BED) community infrastructure and build skills and confidence in all our communities. 

The Charity has a finalised five-year Strategic Business Plan which was adopted in July 2018. This is reviewed annually as part of the PQASSO and Matrix processes by the Board and is designed to be an iterative document integrating future needs analysis and evaluation data as part of our ongoing planning cycle.  It is linked and delivers on the agreed Neighbourhood Action Plan, which is a shared document between Community and City Council and was updated in February 2020 as part of our whole organisation away day. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Activities for generating funds** 

These activities include providing payroll bureau and administration services to community groups for a nominal fee and charging minimal course fees and resource hire charges as a contribution towards HaKIT course costs. 

## **Investment Income** 

The Charity spreads its funds over several interest-bearing bank accounts in order to minimise risk, however in the current economic climate, some of these accounts have produced no interest at all and others only a small amount. 

## **Other Incoming resources for charitable activities** 

The Charity received funding from B&H City Council's Third Sector Investment Programme (TSIP) as a contribution towards the organisation's overall management and administration costs as part of the Community Development Commission to cover our external strategic work in this area. 

## **Community Development** 

Brighton & Hove TSIP funding enables our core Community Development offer to support representative groups such as Community Action, local Parks groups, community festivals and community buildings alongside work targeted at specific vulnerable communities of interest e.g., Parent Carers and people with long term health conditions. This also includes BED engagement work. This work is delivered as part of the Inclusive Communities partnership led by The Trust for Developing Communities. BHCC BED Engagement funding has enabled us to deliver an outreach programme to engage with BED parent carers and ensure their participation in the important SEND strategy that published towards the end of this period and to develop culturally appropriate resources and services e.g., around menopause, cancer and maternity. The programmes are complimentary and add value to our core work. 

The Charity has continued to receive funding through Impact Initiatives for our Older People's Ageing Well programme of work which supports older people to come together as the 50 Plus Steering Group and oversees an older people led programme of trips, groups and activities within our area. This partnership of providers is a Citywide offer with targeted work in local neighbourhood and various communities of interest. As part of this work, HKP deliver BED older people’s activities and trips. 

The Charity received funding to deliver a number of smaller projects over the year including: 

NHS SX funding which has continued to support our West Area Health Forum which brings together residents, patients and community group leaders with Practice Managers from 6 local surgeries, to look at community solutions to Health and Wellbeing issues, alongside feeding in and back, to improve local health services. Also in this year we received funding via NHS to support BED engagement in partnership with the Trust for Developing Communities, this year focussed on developing Community Voices – a City group that aims to take forward with action the insight work already collected.

**THE HANGLETON & KNOLL PROJECT (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07260539) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

We received BHCC funding to deliver local networking sessions (coffee and croissant) for professionals in partnership with the Trust for Developing Communities. 

NHS psychosocial money funded a partnership between ourselves and the Trust for Developing Communities to deliver a Citywide programme of health and wellbeing activities, this is part of the Community Roots offer led by Southdown Housing. In Hangleton and Knoll, our focus has been BED women's health. 

The Charity received funding from BHCC Public Health to manage a small Neighbourhood Fund community based grants programme to enable, and support, local community groups to apply for funding to deliver health promoting activities. 

We received funding from the Brighton Dome and Festival to continue our outreach programme in partnership with them and continue to support a Local Arts offer overseen by a resident led Arts steering group. 

We are delivering ACT (Act on Cancer Together) in the West of the City. This programme is led by TDC and aims to improve the numbers of people accessing cancer screening in the City. Brighton and Hove currently has comparatively low rates of uptake and it is our aim to change this over the next 5 years targeting communities which generally have lower uptake where we have strong networks and relationships to bring to bear. 

## **Youth Work** 

BHCC continued to fund the Charity, as lead youth provider in the West Area, to deliver a range of universal, detached and project-based youth work for young people aged 13-19 years, as well as young women's group activities. 

We also work with Impact Initiatives and the Trust for Developing Communities to deliver an offer for Sussex Community Foundation Trust, working alongside the School Nurse service. Our skilled youth worker supports some of the most vulnerable young people in the City with casework and a link back into mainstream youth and community activity should that be appropriate. 

Funding was secured from the Pebble Trust for HKP to lead a City programme of activities to support vulnerable young men. This is in partnership with YMCA and TDC and provides one to one coaching and an evidence base for relational based work making an impact with this cohort. 

We also build on our core offer to provide targeted group work to our most vulnerable young people. These additional pots of money include the Noel Bennet Trust funding our community safety programmes with young people The Cooperative and Waitrose supporting cost of living crisis work with families, The Rotary supporting SEND club and partnerships with BHCC Active for Life team, Albion in the Community and WBC cares providing match for healthy exercise activities. 

## **Community Learning** 

The Charity received TSIP and HRA Communities funding to support free tutor led and volunteer supported IT dropins alongside a programme of community learning which, in this period, has focused on the needs of Council tenants addressing wellbeing, cost of living, IT skills and ESOL classes. 

Funded by BHCC's MoneyWorks project, we form part of a Whole City Partnership led by the Citizen's Advice Bureau working to address financial exclusion. Alongside other education partners in the City our focus is financial literacy through digital inclusion. 

## **Employment Support** 

In November 2016 we learned we were successful in our stage 2 bid to the Lottery and EU for Building Better Opportunities funding which funds Information Advice and Guidance work to help residents with multiple barriers to undertake training, work placements and ultimately obtain employment. This programme of work was so successful that we were awarded a second round of funding to June 2021, and now a third round of funding to October 2022.

**THE HANGLETON & KNOLL PROJECT (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07260539) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

Negotiations were successful in 22/23 to secure Sharing Prosperity for employment support going forward. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Investment policy and objectives** 

The Trustees confirm that the investments held by the Charity are in accordance with the Trustees' powers. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Hangleton & Knoll Project Trustees hold financial reserves because it is solely dependent on contracts and grant aid with very few donations and we wish to offer our community a clear, ongoing, and sustainable offer and our staff security of employment 

We are in a healthy financial position and feel satisfied that we can demonstrate stability to our statutory funders who are looking at our sustainability over a 5–7-year period within their commissions. 

The past three years have taught us that timescales for statutory funding change quickly with short term rollovers and funding periods and annual budget changes which makes our long-term planning around staffing levels more challenging. In recent years we also faced a proposed 100% cut to youthwork (an 89k loss of income), this decision was reversed but it brought home the very difficult context for local government and NHS commissioners and the possibility of swift and brutal changes to our funding. All our contracts have caveats which mean they are subject to annual budget setting. 

We have found that maintaining a level of reserves designated for staff continuity £118,440) means that we can offer stability to staff and continuity of delivery for our community, giving us time to plan any necessary changes and be covered for staff redundancy and office closure costs for our office spaces. Currently calculated at £168,504 - a figure that reflects how long many of staff have remained with us and the fact we have office bases across our patch. 

During 20/21 we were offered the opportunity to potentially take on a building as part of new housing being built locally and Trustees have agreed that if this happens, we will designate some funds (c30k) to enable the necessary development. This development and spending has been delayed and the building not likely to open until Autumn 2023. Having reserves allows us to take advantage of opportunities to develop new resources for our community including a new capital project to build a youth centre in 2023/2024 which will require a designated maintenance fund and ongoing planned maintenance schedule 

We keep a general reserve of £92,786 to respond to immediate issues and as cashflow for contracts which now pay up to six months in arrears. 

Recent events including pandemic, cost of living crisis and shrinking statutory budgets have shone a light on the vulnerability of organisations to unforeseen change and we are proud of our resilience and ability to rapidly respond which is aided by our secure financial footing. 

The reserves figure is reviewed annually by the Finance Sub-Committee and a recommendation made to the following meeting of the Management Committee with whom the final decision rests. 

## **Funds in deficit** 

There are no funds in deficit. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The Trustees intend the Charity to continue to deliver a high standard of community development, Information, Advice and Guidance, community learning and youth work in Hangleton and Knoll within existing partnerships and to develop further initiatives where the need arises and subject to available funding. 

Our 5 year business plan was fully refreshed with full consultation from the community and all stakeholders in 21/22 and was published in July 2022. This document gives a full description of priorities and direction.

One third of the Trustees must retire at each Annual General Meeting, those longest in office retiring first and the choice between any of equal service being made by drawing lots.  A Trustee retiring under this Article may stand for re-election. 

## **Recruitment and Appointment of New Trustees** 

Throughout the year Project staff encourage local residents to take up membership of the Project and, as the AGM approaches, to put themselves forward for election to the Board of Trustees. Invitations to the AGM are sent to all members and local community groups and to a wide range of people within the statutory and voluntary sector. All residents are invited via the local newsletters, which are distributed to houses on the estates. The covering letters encourage non-members to become members and non-Trustees to consider standing for election on the Management Committee. There are a range of skills represented on the Board, and good representation of different sections of the community. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Decision making** 

## **Management Committee** 

The Management Committee meets four times a year and is the forum where all major decisions are made and agreed. The Committee receive written reports from the staff and from its Sub-Committees on work in progress and opportunities arising. The Committee sets policy and takes decisions on major matters that arise. The Minutes and papers for the Management Committee Meetings are also circulated to the staff to keep them aware of the decisions being taken by the Board. Officers for the Management Committee are elected at the AGM and invitations include an invite for new members to join the Management Committee. 

## **Sub-Committees of the Management Committee** 

The Employment and Finance Sub-Committee meets regularly and consists of at least 3 persons nominated by the Project's Management Committee. The Chief Executive and Finance Co-ordinator attend when required. The 

Page 8 



**THE HANGLETON & KNOLL PROJECT (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07260539) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

Sub-Committee ensures the Project's Trustees control the finances of the organisation and reports to the Management Committee making recommendations on financial and employment matters where necessary, or at least on an annual basis. The Sub-Committee considers (and instructs staff accordingly on) the following aspects: 

- i. The general financial health of the Project 

- ii. Financial planning and annual budgeting 

- iii. Income & expenditure accounts 

- iv. Cash flow analysis 

- v. Annual accounts and audits 

- vi. Fundraising and income generation 

- vii. Payroll and staff salaries

In addition, the Sub-Committee, in consultation with the Chief Executive, agree the Terms and Conditions of Employment of the Project's staff, take responsibility for the process of employment of new or replacement staff and advise the Management Committee of the process to be adopted for selection and interview of candidates, following equal opportunities policies. The Sub-Committee acts as an advisory group for personnel and employment matters on any relevant issues in such a way as to pre-empt and prevent situations of difficulty to the Project arising. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

All newly appointed Trustees receive an Induction Pack and undergo an induction training period. This includes attending the first Management Committee Meeting held shortly after the AGM, meeting with staff, and shadowing an appointed, existing Trustee. Roles and responsibilities are explained in accordance with the Charity Commission Leaflet CC3. 

## **Equal opportunities policy** 

The Hangleton and Knoll Project (HKP) recognises the existence of discrimination against people based on particular characteristics or beliefs. Our policy sets out the steps we take to prevent discrimination in the services and support we provide and in employment.  We monitor all areas of our work closely and are active in targeting work where there are gaps in representative participation. 

The aim of our policy is to fulfil legal and other obligations by ensuring that everyone involved with the organisation is treated fairly regardless of age, gender, marital status or civil partnership, race, disability, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, parental rights, carer responsibility, (the protected characteristics as set out in the Equality Act 2010) and in addition their employment status, UK National status, socio-economic status, irrelevant convictions or other conditions not justified in law or relevant to the provision of service or performance of the job. 

The aim of our policy is to ensure that no job applicant, employee, volunteer, or recipient of our services receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, creed, religion, disability or age, or is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements which have a disproportionately adverse effect on his or her racial group, sex, marital status, religion, disability or age and which cannot be shown to be justifiable on grounds other than those of race, colour, nationality ethnic or national origins, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, creed, religion, disability or age. Selection criteria and procedures will be frequently reviewed to ensure that individuals are selected, promoted and treated on the basis of their relevant merits and abilities. All employees and trustees will be given equal opportunity and, where appropriate and where permissible under the Equality Act, employees of under-represented groups will be given training and encouragement to achieve equal opportunity within the organisation.

The CEO attends the Health and wellbeing Board and Adult Learning and skills partnership in her rep role. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

This year we went into the third year of a partnership led by Southdown Housing who are leading for psychosocial interventions for Mental Health providers in the UOK programme. 

We are also in the third year of a programme led by The Trust for Developing Communities to deliver a City Wide Detached offer. This project named Brighton Streets enables Citywide reach to young people at risk of getting in trouble, with HKP delivering the offer in the West. 

## **Risk management** 

The Charity has examined the major risks to which it is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate these risks. 

The Charity recognises that it has a responsibility to manage hazards and risks and supports a structured and focused approach to managing them through approval of the risk management strategy. In this way The Hangleton & Knoll Project will better achieve its overall objectives and enhance the quality of work delivered. 

The Charity has systems in place that enable us to regularly examine the risks to which we are exposed. Primarily, the Employment and Finance committee, comprised of a minimum of three persons nominated by the Management Committee, and the Chief Executive and the Finance Co-ordinator, meets as regularly as twice a month when necessary to address imminent risks to the organisation's operation. In addition, the Charity's Management Committee meets four times a year, and more frequent meetings are convened where required, as this is the forum where all major decisions and proposals are agreed.  All activities delivered by Hangleton & Knoll Project staff are subject to detailed risk assessments. 

The risks are considered under five broad headings: 

- Management and direction risks 

- Operational risks 

- Financial risks 

- External risks 

- Compliance with law and regulation 

The Charity's risk management strategy's objectives are to: 

- Integrate risk management into the culture of the Hangleton & Knoll Project 

- Manage risk in accordance with best practice 

- Anticipate and respond to changing social, environmental and legislative requirements 

- Prevent injury, damage and losses and reduce related costs 

- Raise awareness of the need for risk management by all those connected to the Hangleton & Knoll Project and the delivery of its services. 

Our full annual risk assessment is available on request. This document has been agile because of the constant changes caused by the changing Covid situation.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of The Hangleton & Knoll Project for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial 

Page 13 



## **THE HANGLETON & KNOLL PROJECT (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07260539) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. 

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 statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They 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.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF** 

## **THE HANGLETON & KNOLL PROJECT (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07260539)** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Hangleton & Knoll Project ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023. 

## **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 myself 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, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('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** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me 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)). 

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.

**THE HANGLETON & KNOLL PROJECT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard FRS102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The trustees/directors consider that there are no material uncertainties about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) once the charity has legal entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Our policy on the recognition of grants received is to recognise them when the are received, however on occasions where a final grant payment relating to an existing grant is due but unpaid at the end of a financial year, the amount will be brought in to the accounts as a debtor. If grants are received in advance of any financial year they are apportioned to the relevant year. 

Income from donations is accounted for as received by the charity. The income from fundraising ventures is shown gross, with the associated costs included in fundraising costs. The value of voluntary work is not included in the financial statements. 

Other income, including investment income and fee income, is recorded on an accruals basis. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets costing in excess of £1,000 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. 

Depreciation has been provided on the following basis: 

- Furniture & Fittings - 20% reducing balance basis. 

- Computers - 20% reducing balance basis. 

- General Equipment - 20% reducing balance basis. 

A full year's depreciation is charged in the year of acquisition, none in the year of disposal. 

Page 20 



**THE HANGLETON & KNOLL PROJECT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **Taxation** 

The charity 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. Accordingly the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity.  Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. In the year ended 31 March 2023 the employer contribution was 6% of gross salary.
