## The Welcome (Knutsford) Limited
## Trustees’ annual report
## for the year ended 31st March 2021
The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2021. Included within the trustees’ report is the directors’ report as required by company law.
Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.
## **Origins**
The Welcome was established in 1996 on Longridge (Knutsford), a Manchester overspill estate, by the local Methodist Church, as a drop-in centre and second-hand clothes store. In 2010, The Welcome split into two separate organisations: The Welcome Church, which was to address the spiritual needs of the community, and The Welcome (Knutsford) Limited, which was to address the social needs. The latter was initially a Community Interest Company (a social enterprise) but became a limited company and registered Charity in 2011.
The Welcome tradition emphasises issues of social justice and supports working with different faith communities and cultures in building community. The charity welcomes staff and volunteers from a wide variety of backgrounds, cultures and religions, who share in a vision of providing help for the most vulnerable in the community.
## **Objectives and activities**
The Welcome’s aim is to provide or assist in the provision of facilities which in different ways improve the life experience for the people of Shaw Heath and Longridge, whatever their age, race, colour, creed, gender, sexual orientation, physical or mental health, employment or other circumstances. The core ethos of The Welcome is to bring people together, support the most vulnerable, and help people to move forward with the aiming of achieving their own potential.
The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes.
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.

## **Achievements and performance**
The charity's main activities and who it tries to help are described below. All its charitable activities focus on the local residents and are undertaken to further The Welcome (Knutsford)’s charitable purposes for the public benefit.
There has been one significant change to the staff team this year. Our Centre Manager, Sarah Riley left in January 2021 and has been replaced by Nick Sherburn, who is on secondment from Great Places. Sarah has done a fantastic job in revitalising the Welcome over the last two years for which we are very grateful.
As the financial year started, the Charity and its ability to provide services to the local community was severely impacted by the national Covid ‘lockdown’. The services described below are being restored as and when government regulations allow.
To help address the immediate needs of the local community, the Charity quickly pivoted to working more closely with a local group, Hope Central, who also run a Foodbank, to provide food parcels to those in most need in the community. Weekly Hampers were provided, as part of our Holiday Hunger scheme, to those who would normally have had access to Free School Meals. In addition, the Charity partnered with a local group, ‘We are Knutsford’, to provide (i) a delivered hot meal service to those in the community that were self-isolating and (ii) a subsidised food box delivery service through the ‘Knutsford 2 You’ website. We moved our Counselling services to a telephone-based service and our Youth sessions online. We also created a Family Activity Pack scheme to support Parents to play with and engage with their children during ‘lockdown’.
Our great team of volunteers support the cafe and the various groups, with individual helpers winning awards from the Town Council in recognition of their work. We estimate that we received around 16,000 hours of donated time from local volunteers including those from local groups such as Hope Central and We are Knutsford. Some of these volunteers act as mentors to others in the community which includes the use of volunteering to create a path to future employment.
Although restricted by Covid-19 this year, The Welcome Community Centre and Cafe are still at the heart of the local community and support people, young and old, where people can eat, share, learn and grow. It’s a place to meet, a source of support and a welcoming space.
The Cafe provides good wholesome meals at a reasonable price, tackling food poverty and helping address those suffering social isolation. During school holidays we operate a ‘kids eat free’ scheme, when they are accompanied by an adult. We have a weekly over 60’s club aimed at providing a hot meal for those in the community who often feel socially isolated, who are referred through the Community Care Organisation and other social groups.
We support a significant number of people every month facing hardship through poverty, lack of opportunity or poor health. We hold several regular sessions supporting the recently bereaved, physical and mental abuse victims and those with pastoral needs. We offer basic health and blood pressure checks run by the Community Paramedic and the counselling sessions have proved popular. Job Centre Plus, Citizens Advice Bureau and our own Outreach Worker, Sarah, who is also a local resident, offer advice on housing, employment and benefit support. A new partnership has been established with Hope Central who run an informal social group offering breakfast and support with employment, life skills and money management etc.

## Trustees’ annual report
## for the year ended 31st March 2021
Young children and babies benefit from playgroup sessions and access to free donated clothing and equipment though the Free Start Baby Bank. We run seasonal events for children including summer activities and trips and special Christmas events.
The Youth sessions are attended weekly by an average of 10 children for a range of activities. For older youths we are working with the Cheshire Community Foundation to refer children who may have behavioral issues to attend Thai boxing sessions to promote discipline and educate youths about violence and criminal behavior.
Other groups include art classes, an English Group, Knit & Natter sessions and a Men’s Mental Health Breakfast Club. Our Volunteers attend training sessions and those helping in the kitchen have all achieved Level 2 Food Safety. We are pleased to have attracted new volunteers to help in the Centre. We also provide support for local Carers through the Cheshire East Carers Hub and for Domestic Abuse victims through the CWA Domestic Abuse Clinic.
We work with a wide range of other organisations to serve the local community including Cheshire East (The Welcome is a Connected Communities Hub), Great Places (Housing Association), Hope Central (Food Bank), Knutsford Academy, Reed (Mental Health) and several local supermarkets (who donate food).
Where we cannot directly help people, we signpost them to the most appropriate services.
## **Beneficiaries of our services**
We aim to support the whole community including those who live on their own. For example:
- 3,052 food parcels have been distributed to local families.
- 6,225 Meals on wheels have been delivered to local vulnerable residents.
- 905 individual support referrals have been made to other services.
- Summer holiday projects include Children eat free all summer, Youth groups/trips/activities and Family trips. We have also secured Trust funding to benefit local people in immediate distress - mainly providing white goods.
At Christmas, the Toy Appeal received around 200 single main presents and sacks of smaller gifts that are distributed to local children who would be unlikely to receive gifts otherwise.
## **Financial review**
We are very grateful to a wide range of organisations and individuals for their continuing financial support without which The Welcome would not be able to operate.
Throughout the year the financial position of the Charity remained challenging. Although activities relating to dealing with the coronavirus pandemic were well funded, it was very difficult to raise unrestricted funds to cover operational costs. However, the Trustees are pleased to report that a significant multi-year grant was secured from Reaching Communities at the end of the previous financial year which has put the Charity on a more secure footing for the next three years (from March 2020 to February 2023). In addition, the Cheshire Community Fund, through its recently established Knutsford Fund, have been very supportive.
4
## The Welcome (Knutsford) Limited
## Trustees’ annual report
## for the year ended 31st March 2021
The Reaching Communities grant depends on the Charity raising equivalent funds and we continue to have to compete for all donations in an environment where the potential donors find it hard to believe that such poverty/need can exist in a relatively affluent part of Cheshire.
The Trustees continue to believe that the use of a professional fundraiser, on a part-time basis, remains key to identifying and securing funds. No major changes to the way the Charity is funded and the source and quantity of these funds is envisaged during the next Financial Year.
## **Reserves policy**
The Trustees have reviewed the Charity’s Reserve Requirements in light of the major risks (particularly
the uncertainty of when the Charity will be able to fully resume ‘normal’ operations) and have concluded that it would be prudent to hold unrestricted funds of 3 months expenditure. The relevant reserves at the balance sheet date of £62,979 (i.e, unrestricted funding) represent around 5 months of normal budgeted operational expenditure.
As a result of the Coronavirus pandemic both income and expenditure are being significantly disrupted with much of the funds raised being restricted to activities related to the pandemic. In the judgement of the Trustees, fundraising for ongoing operational costs (required to ‘keep the doors open’) after the pandemic is over is likely to become more difficult and so the intention is to increase reserves as far as possible during 2020/21 whilst maintaining services.
In addition, the Café Income lost during the pandemic will take time to recover and it is currently not clear what proportion of the Café Income generated in the financial year ending March 2020 (approximately £30,000) can be generated in the coming financial year (ending March 2022). This reduction in self-generated income is likely to significantly impact the Charity’s overall income.
## **Structure, governance and management**
The Welcome (Knutsford) Limited is a company limited by guarantee, company number 07168557, first registered on 24th February 2010. It was registered as a Charity, number 1142084 on 24th May 2011.
The company was established under a memorandum of association, which established the objectives and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its articles of association.
Members of the Charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the Charity in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees at 31st March 2021 was 9 (2020:9). The Trustees are members of the Charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The Trustees have no beneficial interest in the Charity.
All Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the Charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the Charity are set out in note 11 in the accounts.
In recruiting to the Board, the Trustees consider the skills that are needed, advertise in various networks, shortlist any candidates, and invite potential Trustees to a board meeting, to explore the level of interest. An interview would then take place with at least two Trustees, and preferred candidates are invited to join the Trustees, subject to references, formal vetting and approval by the full trustee board.

## **Statement of responsibilities of the trustees**
The trustees (who are also directors of The Welcome (Knutsford) Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees ’annual report 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 these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then 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 and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and 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.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies ’regime of the Companies Act 2006.

## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of The Welcome (Knutsford) Ltd.**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 which are set out on pages 8 to 26.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity 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 company’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**
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 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.

**1 Accounting policies**
## The Welcome (Knutsford) Limited
## Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
## **a Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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), second edition - October 2019 (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The Welcome (Knutsford) Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
11
The Welcome (Knutsford) Limited
## Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021 (continued)
## **b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis**
In common with many charities, the income of The Welcome is unpredictable. The trustees are aiming to hold reserves to an appropriate level to enable the charity to continue in a sustainable manner going forward. The trustees are working with professional fundraisers with a proven track record and also seeking to develop long term relationships with local businesses and individuals who are prepared to support the work undertaken by The Welcome.
On that basis the trustees believe that it is appropriate to draw up the accounts on a Going Concern basis. There are no key judgments which the trustees have made which have a significant effect on the accounts.
The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.
## **c Income**
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
12
The Welcome (Knutsford) Limited
## Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021 (continued)
## **d Donated services and facilities**
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
## **e Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
## **f Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
## **g Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
- Costs of raising funds are made up from fundraiser fees paid on a time basis to generate futher grants and donations. See note 6.
- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. See note 7.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
## **h Allocation of support costs**
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity's programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 8.
13
The Welcome (Knutsford) Limited
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021 (continued)
## **i Tangible fixed assets**
Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:
Office fixtures and equipment 20% Central Heating Boiler 17%
## **j Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **k Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## **l Creditors and provisions**
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## **m Pensions**
Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity’s contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 10. There were £20 outstanding contributions at the year end (2020: £321).
## **2 Legal status of the charity**
The charity is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The registered office address is disclosed on page 1.
