The pay of the KMP is reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with average earnings.

## **Ouseburn Farm Charity Limited**
## **Trustees' Report**
## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities**
The trustees (who are also the directors of Ouseburn Farm Charity Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and 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 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- 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 adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and 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.
## **Small companies provision statement**
This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006.

## **Ouseburn Farm Charity Limited**
## **Chairman's Statement**
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Ouseburn Farm Charity’s accounts and annual report for 2021/22. I am very proud of the accomplishments that the staff, volunteers and trustees of the charity have made during the year, particularly in the face of significant challenges, including the ongoing pandemic and an outbreak of avian influenza.
As I enter my third year of being the chair of Ouseburn Farm Charity, I am continually impressed at the breadth and depth of work undertaken by staff, volunteers and trustees to deliver the farm’s mantra - “a place for growing; plants, animals but most of all, people”.
Following the upheaval experienced in 2020/21, 2021/22 was a year of growth and consolidation. Building on the important work undertaken to secure the stability of the charity in the previous year, the team worked to develop a new business plan for the farm, putting our placements - adults with learning difficulties, disabilities and Autistic Spectrum Disorder - at the heart of our operations.
Providing the best possible service to our beneficiaries has been the focus of the charity’s trustees and staff throughout the last year. Our placements returned to face to face activity in April 2021, after the end of the spring lockdown. This coincided with a relaunch of the farm events programme, inviting the public back into the farm to enjoy a diverse and fun range of activities providing opportunities to learn about farm life. The launch of a new farm retail space in April 2021 has provided a new income stream and increased visitor spend per head.
Significant capital improvements were undertaken through the year. Thanks to a grant from the North East Local Enterprise Partnership, the orchard has been renewed with new paths, fencing and an engagement space; and in partnership with the Ouseburn Trust, the wooded areas of the Ouseburn have been thinned and replanted, and other amenity improvements have been made across the Ouseburn valley.
The importance of volunteers to the charity’s activities cannot be understated. In 2021/22, volunteers gave 10,721 hours of their time, a huge contribution to the farm’s activities. This contribution is equivalent to a financial contribution of £106,000 at the real living wage equivalent.
Throughout the year, we worked closely with our parent organisation, Tyne Housing, helping them to deliver their mission to help some of the region’s most vulnerable people get to a better place. Tyne Housing continues to provide back office and administrative support to the charity.
A large part of our work was funded via grants during this year, as earned income remained limited by covid. We are extremely grateful to National Lottery Community Fund, Garfield Weston Foundation, Sage Foundation, The D'Oyly Carte Charitable Trust, The MILA Charitable Organisation, The MacRobert Trust, The Catherine Cookson Charitable Trust, CLA Charitable Trust, The Malings Community Fund, The Churchill Fellowship, Tyne Housing and the North East Local Enterprise Partnership for their support during the year.
A number of business partners played an important role as sponsors and supporters. We must extend our heartfelt thanks to North P&L, Cookhouse, By the River Brew co, The NFU, Gentian, Generator, Northumbrian Water, John Lewis & Partners and Lowes Financial Management. Their contribution has made a real difference to the farm experience, for visitors, placements and volunteers alike.

## **Ouseburn Farm Charity Limited**
## **Chairman's Statement**
The resilience and dedication of the small but highly effective staff team continues to provide real momentum to the charity. I am grateful to them for all their hard work, in sometimes difficult circumstances. Our board of trustees has provided clear and considered governance, but has also acted in a “critical friend” role for the manager and staff, and individual trustees have shared their wisdom and experience in areas as diverse as fundraising, evaluation, planning and business development.
I look forward to seeing what the charity can achieve in 2022/23, and I am sure that it will continue to flourish in its mission to be “a place for growing”.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Ouseburn Farm Charity Limited ("the Company")**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022.
## **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 Ouseburn Farm Charity Limited 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 the Company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Azets Audit Services, 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 Ouseburn Farm Charity Limited 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.

## **Ouseburn Farm Charity Limited**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022**
## **1 Charity status**
The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £Nil towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.
The address of its registered office is: St Silas Church Building, Clifford Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE6 1PG
## **2 Accounting policies**
## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates**
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
## **Statement of compliance**
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) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis of preparation**
Ouseburn Farm Charity Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
## **Going concern**
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement**
The charity opted to adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
## **Estimation uncertainty and judgements**
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported.
## **Income and endowments**
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.

## **Ouseburn Farm Charity Limited**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022**
## _**Donations and legacies**_
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
## _**Grants receivable**_
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
## _**Deferred income**_
Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:
- The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or - The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
## _**Gift aid**_
Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Financial Activities at the same time as the gift to which they relate.
## **Expenditure**
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
## _**Raising funds**_
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
## _**Charitable activities**_
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

## **Ouseburn Farm Charity Limited**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022**
## **Support costs**
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
## **Governance costs**
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’s meetings and reimbursed expenses.
## **Government grants**
Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.
## **Taxation**
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the 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 of the 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.
## **Trade debtors**
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
## **Trade creditors**
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **Fund structure**
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
