Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Newport People First
Year ended 31 March 2024
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Newport People First ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements 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.
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31 March 2024
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is: 2E Hill Street Studios, Commercial Road, Newport, NP20 1LN.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The particular accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Accounting Convention
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the entity. The figures in the financial statements are rounded to the nearest whole pound.
Incoming Resources
Revenue grants, donations, voluntary and other income are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are received.
Recognition of Liabilities
Liabilities are recognised on the accruals basis in accordance with normal accounting principles.
Resources Expended
The policy for including items within the relevant activity categories of resources expended is to recognise them when there is a legal and constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure as described in the Financial Reporting Standards 5 and 12. In particular the policy for including items within costs of generating funds, charitable activities and governance costs is:
Costs of Generating Funds
Costs are included in generating income resources from all sources other than that from undertaking charitable activities or governance.
- 10 -
Newport People First
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2024
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Costs of Charitable Activities
Costs included in charitable activities comprise all resources applied to the charity in undertaking its work to meet its charitable objectives as opposed to the costs of raising the funds to finance these activities and governance costs.
Allocation of Costs within Types of Resources Expended
The methods and principles for the allocation and apportionment of all costs between the different activity categories of resources are based on directly attributable costs.
Going concern
The charity is entirely dependent on continuing grant aid and as a consequence the going concern basis is also dependent on the continuing grant aid.
Disclosure exemptions
The entity satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. As such, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available under paragraph 1.12 of FRS 102:
(a) No cash flow statement has been presented for the charity.
(b) Disclosures in respect of financial instruments have not been presented.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Newport People First
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2024
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Taxation
As a registered charity, the charity is exempt from income tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. Value added tax is not recoverable by the charity and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Winding Up or Dissolution of the Charity
If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remains any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.
Tangible assets
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. Items below £100 are not capitalised. For items purchased from restricted funds and capitalised the provision for depreciation is transferred to unrestricted funds in the year of purchase
