Structure, governance and management (continued)

Objectives and activities

The objects of the charity are to make grants to further such general charitable purposes as the trustees in their absolute discretion think fit.

The charity works within the St. Ann's area of Stockton-on-Tees which includes some of the poorest wards in the borough. Over the past year St. Ann's Partnership have provided the following projects:

Community Safety & Security

Our vision is for a safe community where all residents are able to live their lives free from crime and the fear of crime.

We aimed to provide CCTV coverage of hot spot areas within the St. Ann's area of benefit to assist Enforcement Officers, Stockton Police and Housing Associations in gathering evidence.

The charity no longer pays for the above service. An agreement was made to donate two cameras to the security centre in exchange for them monitoring the remaining two cameras for a further two years. Our remaining two cameras are located at the junction of Cromwell Avenue/Wade Avenue and the corner of Cowper Road/Kingston Road.

Community Capacity Building

Our Vision is for a stronger and more cohesive community where there is a sense of belonging for all residents.

We aim to provide capacity building support to smaller residents in the Portrack, Tilery, Mount Pleasant, Queens Park and Victoria Estates in order to empower individuals and groups and increase the involvement of residents in all decisions that affect their lives.

The support available includes assistance to set up and become constituted, sercretariat support, assistance with organising events and financial support including fundraising and monitoring. The work varies depending on the needs of the individual group requiring assistance.

Objectives and activities (continued)

Youth Projects

Our view is that 'Every Child Matters'. We want all children and young people to have stable, safe environments and access to opportunities to achieve their full potential.

The COOL project aims to engage young people living in St.Ann's area, aged between 5 and 16 years, to participate in youth club sessions. Sessions are provided in age-appropriate groups.

Youth club sessions are focused around healthy eating, being active and promoting healthy living. The programme of activities is based on teamwork, team building, skill enhancing and confidence building. It is hoped to reduce levels of anti-social behaviour from young people hanging around the streets. Opportunities for play scheme activities that include educational visits, arts 'n' crafts activities, local trips and outings are also provided.

Unemployment

Our vision is to contribute to a strong local economy with better jobs and improved employability, as well as making sure our residents have the necessary skills and qualifications to secure the new jobs created.

The project acts as a stepping-stone, signposting to specialist organisations.

The trustees regularly review the objects and activities of the charity and, as part of this review, they have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.

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 Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting policies

Unrestricted and Restricted Funds

Unrestricted funds comprise of income received or generated by reference to the general objects of the charity without further specified purpose. Such funds may however be designated by the trustees for specific purposes from time to time.

Restricted funds are those donated for a specified purpose as laid down by the donor or as a result of a specific appeal or application. Such funds are kept separate from the unrestricted funds of charity and only related expenditure is charged against them.

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

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 company. (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.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

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.

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:

Resources expended

Resources Expended

Resources expended are recognised in the year in which they are incurred and are shown inclusive of any attribute VAT, which cannot be recovered.

Tangible assets

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Equipment

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.

4. Limited by guarantee

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and having no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding up is limited to £10.
