Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
Achievement and performance
2023/4 was a further year as our communities recovered from Covid and faced up to the cost of living rises, as older people in many cases struggled to deal with rising prices and energy costs.
We met these challenges head on and have been successful in growing the charities size and scope to meet the challenges.
The main developments in 2023/24 service-wise were:
-
Our organisation passed its triannual quality management audit by Age UK, which confirms the quality we know has grown at the charity. In addition, our Information and Advice Service passed its Quality of Advice Assessment, meaning it gained the prestigious Advice Quality Standard.
-
Our Social Prescribing service expanded in the year, able to help more people – in the year we also piloted new care coordinator projects with Haxby group and piloted bereavement projects with Filey and Scarborough healthy communities Network.
-
We launched new employability approaches, which led to an improvement in outcomes for over 50s looking for work.
-
Our SeeCHANGE health equality initiative ramped up its service, handing out micro grants to innovative groups and launching three new strands of work.
-
Continued to help establish groups after their demise during Covid. In addition, we started the Stay Healthy, Independent and Connected project in Filey which has also led to a range of new initiatives.
Future plans
2024/25 has seen consolidation of our work in the year 2023/24, notable for our new shop on Ramshill Road in Scarborough and other developments.
The retail team has increased its income over the year, as we improved our systems and priced our products more keenly.
This year has been one of consolidation and of improvement of our processes, so that as a charity we can be sustainable and continue to provide a service to our clients. One of these things has been a new data system so that we can better explain our outcomes to funders and the public.
Fundraising
The retail group has increased its income over the year from £119k to £152k.
The charity is committed to maintaining high standards of fundraising and retail activity. The Charity is registered with the Fundraising Regulator. The Charity does not use any third parties to act on its behalf in relation to fundraising. No complaints were received by the charity during 2023/24 in relation to its fundraising activities.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
Financial review
2023/24 saw an expansion in the size and scope of the charity.
The statement of financial activities shows a deficit of £106,396 for the year of 2023/2024 (2023: Surplus £59,432). This comprises of a deficit on restricted funds of £91,059 and a deficit of £15,337 on unrestricted funds.
Total reserves amounted to £340,518 of the consolidated group at the year end (2023: £446,914).
The Charity holds £91,374 of restricted funds to be spent on specific projects in forthcoming years more details can be seen in note 19.
Unrestricted reserves of £249,144 are held in line with the reserve policy below.
The Charity's total income increased from £893,015 to £1,125,917. This increase was expected due to additional funding received with the SeeCHANGE initiative and other new projects and the expansion of the Social Prescribing service. The increase in expenses was also expected due to increased activity.
The Charity has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Age UK Scarborough & District Trading Limited. This is a sole member company limited by guarantee. From 1 April 2019 it is being used to deliver paid-for services, which provide support to older people in and around Scarborough & District and generate unrestricted revenue for the parent Charity through the covenanting of profits.
Risk management
The charity has a reasonable reserves position and has a risk assessment procedure. We have identified the need to diversify our sources of income from trusts and contracts to give us more resilience as an organisation.
As we have grown, we have identified the need to monitor data and improve quality.
The principal financial risks and uncertainties are considered to relate primarily to the ability of the Charity to access funding for its activities and generate sufficient unrestricted Income to support its infrastructure. The Trustees aim to manage these risks through the timely submission of funding bids and the identification of suitable income-generating activities in line with its general aims, as well as a drive to reduce the scope of loss-making ventures.
The regular reports received at committee meetings enable the Trustees to monitor major risks to which the Charity is exposed so that necessary steps can be taken to manage those risks.
Reserves
The Trustees consider that an appropriate level of free reserves is three months of liquid reserves. Free reserves are unrestricted reserves less any fixed assets and lease commitments held in unrestricted funds free reserves stand at £249,144 which is the equivalent of 2.4 months expenditure.
Any additional reserves available at 31 March 2024 have enabled the charity to maintain its activities while it continues to seek new funding streams and will continue to support activities during 2024/25.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
AGE UK NORTH YORKSHIRE COAST & MOORS
OPINION
We have audited the financial statements of Age UK North Yorkshire Coast & Moors for the year ended 31 March 2024, which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities and Income and Expenditure Account, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and the related notes, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and the parent charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of the group’s incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
BASIS OF OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’/director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
OTHER INFORMATION
The trustees/directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
AGE UK NORTH YORKSHIRE COAST & MOORS
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
OPINION ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees' report, which includes the directors’ report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the directors’ report included within the Trustees' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
-
the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies exemption in preparing the directors report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS
As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement on page 5, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
AGE UK NORTH YORKSHIRE COAST & MOORS
AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charitable company operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006 together with the Charities SORP (FRS102) 2019. We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charitable company’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charitable company for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in this context for the UK operations were The Health and Safety legislation, Employment legislation, Charity Commission regulations and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be the override of controls by management and income recognition. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, detailed substantive testing on the completeness of other sources of income, reviewing regulatory correspondence and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
These inherent limitations are particularly significant in the case of misstatement resulting from fraud as this may involve sophisticated schemes designed to avoid detection, including deliberate failure to record transactions, collusion or the provision of intentional misrepresentations.

2.4 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.
Grant income
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised at fair value 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. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.
Legacies
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 Trust 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 a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Gifts in kind donated for resale
It is impracticable to fair value gifts in kind donated for resale due to the volume of low value items so they are not recognised in the financial statements until they are sold. This income is recognised within 'Income from other trading activities'.
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.
2.5 Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings in the statement of financial activities.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.

2.5 Expenditure (continued)
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include administrative and governance costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
2.6 Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
2.7 Tangible Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis at the following annual rates:
Leasehold property - over the term of the lease Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 10% straight line or over the life of the associated grant Motor vehicles - 25% straight line Computer equipment - 25% straight line
2.8 Debtors and creditors receivable / payable
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
2.9 Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the SoFA on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
2.10 Employee benefits
When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.
The charity contributes to a defined contribution workplace pension plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are charged to the statement of financial activities in the period to which they relate.
2.11 Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
