The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Catherine's, Wakefield Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2022
Objectives and activities (continued)
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 Christianity.
Achievements and performance
The charity has continued to run our emergency food bank until July 2022 when we switched to a Community Pantry Model. This continues to support the most vulnerable individuals and families in the Wakefield district.
The hot/cold food delivery service continues to a success delivering to vulnerable/isolated individuals across the district.
The day care service continues to grow in numbers accessing the service and provides 20 places per day Monday to Friday
Financial review
The net expenditure for the year was £47,638, including net expenditure of £36,158 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £11,480 on restricted funds after transfers.
The charity has fully reviewed expenditure/expenses and has identified areas where cost savings can be made and these will be implemented going forward.
The trustees have reassessed the charity’s ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date that the accounts are approved. They acknowledge the challenges faced in recent years, these are predominantly due to Covid recovery and a lack of applications for grant income. These have been addressed, we are now seeking funding again, areas of our income are now increasing and we are looking at places where our costs can be cut. We have provision for redundancy payments if the need should arise. The trustees are therefore confident that there are no material uncertainties about the going concern of the charity.
Reserves policy
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £26,616.
Our Reserves Policy relates to funds which are freely available to be used for any designated purposes of the charity.
The purpose of unrestricted funds is to meet the costs of running and maintaining the Church Centre including the employment of staff.
Our aims are:
-
To secure and sustain the charity’s financial viability, and for future planning.
-
To channel our resources in ways that coincide with our Vision/Business Planning.
-
To give reassurance to the general public that the charity intends to use all funds coming into its care for the purposes of the charity.
The current policy is to hold as reserve, resources equivalent to between two to three month’s expenditure.
Approved by the board of trustees on 22/05/2023

-
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.
