VINEYARD COMMUNITY CENTRE

Annual Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 June 2021

The Trustees submit their report and the financial statements of Vineyard Community Centre (“the Charity”) for the year ended 30 June 2021. The financial statements have been prepared in the format prescribed by the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP2015 (FRS102)) and the Financial Reporting Standard 102. The legal and administrative information set out earlier in this document forms part of this report. This report also constitutes a directors’ report required by section 415 of the Companies Act 2006 as all Trustees of a charity company are directors.

1. Structure, Governance and Management

Organisation

The Board of Trustees administers the Charity. The Board meets quarterly.

The Chief Executive meets the Chairman, Vice Chairman and Company Secretary informally weekly and reports formally to the Chairman and Company Secretary on a monthly basis.

The Chief Executive ensures that the Trustees are kept abreast of important issues at these formal and informal meetings as well as communicating by email and telephone with updates and information. The Chief Executive attends Board Meetings as do, from time to time, senior managers. The Board members support the Chief Executive and provide a sounding board and a pool of expertise for him to draw on.

Decision making

The Chief Executive is responsible to the Trustees for managing the day-to-day operations of the Charity. To facilitate effective operations, the Chief Executive has delegated authority, with terms of delegation, agreed by the Trustees.

The Board is grateful for the professional assistance given by James Lowther, ACA, our Treasurer who gives his services on a voluntary basis.

Trustee Induction and Training

New Trustees are made aware of the seriousness of their responsibilities and obligations under charity and company law. They are encouraged to understand these obligations by reading relevant Charity Commission publications. Trustees are made aware of training courses and conferences and encouraged to extend their knowledge of matters pertaining to their role in the Charity.

Risk Management

The major risk which the charity has been aware of, particularly during the disruption caused by the pandemic, has been around maintaining continuity in the services. We have sought to manage this risk through adapting our working practices and taking steps to ensure that we might be more robust as a charity.

Essentially this has involved following developments closely, particularly as the legislation and restrictions introduced to control the spread of the pandemic, impacted on our work. We have been updating our operational risk assessments in an ongoing way and adapting our services to comply with the changes. We have also taken external professional advice - including assessments on our premises by the Ethical Property Foundation. At various times over the past year, we have reduced the numbers of people in the buildings, introduced more remote ways of working, provided take-away services when indoor seating was not permitted and adapted our premises to comply with best practice in terms of ventilation, screening and ensuring maximum social distancing.

We have also recruited more locum staff to enable us to cover the work when our regular staff might be unwell or obliged to isolate in response to covid alerts.

VINEYARD COMMUNITY CENTRE

Annual Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 June 2021

The closure of our trading, both the shops and the café, posed a threat to our income but due to careful financial management, including the grants available under the Government’s Job Retention Scheme, we have remained financially viable.

Related Parties and cooperation with other organisations

The Trustees are unpaid and receive no benefit from their work with the Charity. There is no relationship between any trustee and employees or suppliers.

The Charity has good working relationships with organisations with a similar vision, in particular the Glass Door which runs the 6 month Winter Night Shelter Scheme, Single Persons Emergency Accommodation Richmond (SPEAR), help with supporting guests with accommodation, for the Vineyard Medical Practice, the Citizen’s Advice Bureau which run advice surgeries, Richmond Borough MIND which run art sessions in our Café, the Salvation Army (employment support) and We Are With You (substance misuse services).

2. About The Vineyard

The Need

Although Richmond appears to be a relatively wealthy borough it also has the highest level of economic inequality in London and has specific issues with rough sleeping, hidden poverty and loneliness.

In the period April 2020 to March 2021 the outreach teams found 115 homeless people sleeping rough. Of these, 74% had mental health issues, 35% had problems with alcohol and 47% had problems with drugs. A recent report from Homeless Link identified that 78% of people who were rough sleeping specifically said that they needed more advice to help them get back into accommodation.

A recent report from the Trust for London identified that 21% of the children in Richmond were living in households in poverty. Our food banks witness this on a daily basis with some people really struggling to survive.

Richmond also has a major issue with loneliness, having the highest proportion of people over the age of 75 living alone in London. Loneliness indicators are currently being developed to better measure this, but it is recognised as a major cause for concern, having a serious impact on people’s mental health and well-being.

Our Mission: help in crisis, hope for life

Our mission is primarily to meet the needs of those in crisis and who are socially excluded as identified above. We are an innovative Christian charity that provides help and support for those in need. We opened in March 2012.

Our purpose is summarised by our strap line of ‘help in crisis, hope for life’. Regardless of someone’s background our passion is for all who visit and volunteer to be part of a supportive community and reach their full potential.

We seek to achieve our purpose through the Community Centre and Richmond Foodbank which are located in the basement of The Vineyard Life Church, The Vineyard, Richmond, Surrey TW10 6AQ. We have four satellite foodbanks located across the borough in Barnes, Isleworth, Whitton and Hampton.

3. Activities and the Public Benefit

The Vineyard Community Centre is widely recognised as providing a community hub with a very broad range of services for a wide cross section across the borough. We seek to do this with grace, generosity of spirit and compassion. In addition to our own support services, we provide a daytime venue for a number of other agencies which interact with us or for our guests.

The Trustees have considered the guidance of the Charity Commission on public benefit. These have been borne in mind when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular, the Trustees have considered how

4

VINEYARD COMMUNITY CENTRE

Annual Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 June 2021

planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. The provision of public benefit is given at no charge and is made available without discrimination to those in need.

Our separate, but linked areas of ministry are as follows:

4. Achievements and Performance – How we delivered our Services

4.1 Introduction

Covid 19 Pandemic

At the start of the year most of our staff were on furlough or redeployed in temporary positions overseeing our response to the pandemic. Our café area was being used as a temporary food store for the Food Bank and we were providing food for up to 800 people every month. We were still remotely providing case work support for individual guests although the drop-in sessions were suspended.

The Works of Love project was the first to reopen, resuming sessions in Dickson House in July.

In September we relocated the Food Bank store to All Saint’s Church Hall in Hampton and continued to provide deliveries of food parcels to home addresses as well as supplying food stocks for other charities.

We reopened the drop-in sessions – with reduced numbers and strict controls in place – at the end of September.

We set up our new pop-up charity shop in Vestry House and opened this in December but had to close again after just three days due to new lockdown regulations.

In January – and throughout the long lock-down period – we adapted our morning sessions drop-in to provide help in crisis – advice and support as well as hot food to take away.

The satellite food banks continued to operate throughout this time as well as our delivery service providing emergency food parcels across the borough.

Works of Love continued to provide training and support sessions remotely, until we were permitted to resume at Dickson House.

As the restrictions were gradually lifted, we reopened our charity shops in May and the Café in June.

The Food Bank delivery service began winding down and beneficiaries directed to use the walk-in sessions.

By the end of the financial year, we were almost fully operational again – although, due to a shortage of staff, financial resources and premises - the Roots programme remained suspended.

Building Works

We were delighted to receive grants from Help the Homeless, the Screwfix Foundation, AllChurches, London Catalyst, the Bernard Sunley Foundation and the Beatrice Laing Trust towards the costs of a building project to extend our kitchen which was completed at the end of 2020.

The need for this work had become particularly pressing with the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. After consultation with the Ethical Property Foundation and advice from the local authority it became apparent that we needed to expand our work area to enable adequate social distancing to keep our staff and clients safe.

VINEYARD COMMUNITY CENTRE

The works included:

Building extension

Completion of the work was problematic – with repeated interruptions due to the pandemic, ongoing restrictions and changing regulations; even our builders caught the virus at one point and all the work was suspended while they isolated! But the work was finally completed at the end of 2020.

a. Help In Crisis

Sue Hodder, our Head of Care Services has been overseeing the work of the morning drop-in sessions and the community nursing project.

It has been a very successful and yet a testing 12 month’s here at the Drop- Kim, our Chef, preparing porridge in our in as we have worked our way through the pandemic. The Drop-in was shiny new kitchen. closed from the 22[nd] March 2020 and re-opened on the 28[th] September 2020 and we have encountered both challenges and changes. Some members of staff were furloughed, some worked from home and Sue was re-deployed to assissit in the running of the Foodbank and to help co-ordinate the deliveries to those in need. We have had two staff changes in the Drop-in team this year; we have employed a new Caseworker, David Logan, who started with us in November 2020 and we have recently employed Tom McDonald, as our new Drop-in Supervisor, at the beginning of April 2021.

From October 2020 to July 2021, we have seen 239 different individuals in need, of whom 159 were male, and 64 were females.

We have provided 3,314 hot breakfasts, given out 909 items of clothing and provided 697 showers for our guests. Our caseworker David has conducted 864 appointments and 34 people have been assisted into accommodation.

Our Community Nurse, Lucia Bramble-Boyd, runs two 2-hour sessions each week on a Monday and a Wednesday. The nursing service was closed and our nurse furloughed due to covid between March 2020 and December 2021. The total number of guests seen in the short period we opened in December 2020 was 26 as sadly we were forced to close the centre and furlough our nurse again between January and February 2021.

The figures for the period between March 2021 and the end of June 2021 are as follows.

Total guests seen = 139

12 attended for an individual health check and advice.

78 attended with a short-term health problem, which includes: - blood pressure monitoring, minor dressings, skin issues, hearing difficulties, dietary advice, and support.

25 Guests attended for support and advice with longer-term health problems which included, chronic, long term disease management and 23 with mental health problems.

Other interventions include: -

45 covid related discussions

21 guests referred to a G.P. District Nursing or Heath Visitor.

15 referred to other statutory Health Care providers

6

VINEYARD COMMUNITY CENTRE

Annual Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 June 2021

14 referred to other voluntary organisations.

12 professional liaison discussions, telephone conversations with other statutory Health Care Providers. 6 guests referred for spiritual care

1 safeguarding referral.

During this period Dr Jacob from the Vineyard Practice, has attended clinics here monthly to see guests and offer his support. Through the practice we were able to administer 20 guests early on with their first and second covid vaccinations. Here are some examples of the medical provided:

M was immediately registered with a local G.P. by our Nurse who made him a next day appointment. The G.P. sent M to the hospital for tests and he was quickly diagnosed with cancer of his pancreas. M. has now received treatment and is awaiting life-saving surgery. Having the Community Nursing Clinic here enables homeless and vulnerable guests to access medical help quickly and easily. This provides quick and effective intervention that can prevent conditions worsening, prevents severe complications and fundamentally can save lives.

S. was immediately referred to his G.P. for anti-biotics and we continued to dress his foot twice a week until it had completely healed.

Partnerships at the Drop-in sessions

Glassdoor : We are delighted to continue to work alongside Glassdoor with Gemma running sessions here 3 days each week to case work those guests who are homeless. This story tells of how one of our guests was help given in crisis:

After three weeks on the streets, B. was told about the Drop-in where she started to attend, from here she was referred onto the Dinner Service run in the evenings by Glassdoor here at the Vineyard Community Centre. Over a plate of food, B. connected with a volunteer who listened as B. told her story. From there, she was referred to caseworker Gemma from Glassdoor and was offered a room in a hostel. Gemma began supporting B. with a variety of issues. With additional support from the Eastern European Resource Centre, B. is being supported to obtain a new passport, has been granted pre-settled status in the UK and has resolved issues with her benefits.

“Gemma came from the sky – God must have sent her to me in my life in this moment. She’s amazing. She’s the most beautiful person in my life. She didn’t know me at all, and she’s helped me so much.” During Covid closure Gemma continued to work with our guests from home.

Behind the mask there was always a welcoming smile

Gemma returned to working from here with us at the beginning of October 2020. Gemma has supported for 90 of our guests:

VINEYARD COMMUNITY CENTRE

Annual Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 June 2021

Glassdoor Employability Co-ordinator : Since 22[nd] June we have also had Jay from Glassdoor attend here on a Tuesday each week to assist our guests with moving into training and employment. Jay is just establishing himself here but in the short time he has been with us he has managed to see 4 guests to date: -

SPEAR: The local authority funded outreach team from SPEAR hold two sessions here each week. On Wednesday’s they send an Outreach Worker and on Friday’s they send two Health Link workers to work with guests who attend here in collaboration with David our caseworker and Gemma from Glassdoor.

Salvation Army Employment Plus U.K .: Lucy has been attending the drop-in here since the end of March 2021. To date she has been worked closely with 6 of our guests on a one-to-one basis.

The Hepatitis C Trust : David has been attending the drop-in, one morning (Mondays) each week since March 2021. Since starting here 7 guests have been tested.

“I have built some very good relationship with guests who come to the Vineyard Drop-in and so far, I have had some really good results. The staff here are amazing too, they have been very supportive and made me feel part of The Team”

RCDAS (Richmond Community Drug and Alcohol Services) working alongside WAWY (We Are With You) and the Pathway Team: Paul from RCDAS runs a session within out drop-in every Monday morning. Gabrielle from WAWY is here volunteering three sessions a week.

Between May and July 2021 the figures are as follows:10 assessments have been carried out

3 transfers into service for drug / alcohol support

5 supported with housing advice

1 supported with pet care

5 supported with core services (AA, Breaking Free and SMART)

Paul has also assissted some of our guests by taking food from the Vineyard out to those who are street homeless and works with them and encourages them to come along and to attend the Drop-in in person. Paul also has 18 guests from the Vineyard whom he provides telephone support to.

WAWY: through Gabrille, has provided regular volunteer support for RCDAS guests here at the VCC Drop-in three days each week.

The Pathway Team, who are also a part RCDAS work with ‘hard to reach’ guests, who are residing in hotels and come to the Drop-in sessions when requested to do so.

Richmond Foodbank

During the year Fiona Brennan, our Development Manager, has been overseeing the work of the Food Bank:

Foodbank operations have changed and we’ve adapted to the challenges of the pandemic and the differing needs of people for food support, and the way we have delivered services. When we went into the first lockdown, the shop, the café and the Drop-in closed, but we ensured that those in need of emergency food staying at home were helped by the Foodbank using deliveries. Food was supplied for the Richmond, Hampton and Barnes foodbanks in this way while Whitton and Isleworth Foodbanks were able to keep open throughout. As people were urged to “stay at home”, we developed a model for delivery across the Borough.

The Vineyard Community Centre was transformed by Kev our Logistics Co-ordinator, into a Warehouse setting and we recruited volunteers into new roles, picking and packing, date checking, loading and unloading of Food Parcels into vehicles and driving! Initially we were delivering about 30 - 40 parcels twice a week. British Gas engineers came with their vans and loaded up at the Vineyard and delivered our food parcels for several months allowing us time to recruit volunteer drivers. These took over from British Gas as the engineers returned to their jobs. We continued to deliver up to 45 parcels a day as well as supplying schools, charities, (Richmond Aid and Ruils) and churches with food to distribute to their clients, members and service users. We supported Southall and Willesden Foodbanks, Christchurch and the Salvation Army in Feltham, St. Pauls, Hounslow West, Hounslow Open Kitchen, Kew Hostel, JRS Refugees, the Junk Food Project in collaboration with The ETNA Centre, Equippers Church and St. Thomas Aquinas, Inspired Hub, Hampton and Osterley Park Hotel where we supported 115 Refugee Families. We even donated surplus dog food to the Dog Rescue Centre in Epsom!

Towards the end of summer 2020, it looked like Drop-in could re-open and the Foodbank warehouse facility would have to relocate. We approached All Saints in Hampton to ask if we could use their small hall and back room. This was all agreed really quickly and the Warehouse moved in September 2020.

Throughout the Pandemic we have been supported by the community and have had regular food donations from Alexanders Removals, Kew Rotary Club, Sutton Winson Insurance Company, Twickenham School, Waitrose, Sainsburys, and numerous street collections.

People were welcomed back into our Foodbanks in the Spring this year and we reduced deliveries to those isolating with Covid or unable to come out for health reasons

We are looking forward to getting a new, larger Foodbank van and celebrating Harvest in the Autumn. In August, we appointed a new Foodbank Manager, Caroline Ewart and we look forward to her developing our work in this department.

4.3 EMPOWERMENT

Roots

The Roots programme was suspended in March 2020. This had been a programme of social and employment support, providing hope for life and helping people to put down roots in the community. We had hoped to resume this activity in the Spring of 2021 but were unable to do so due to the ongoing restrictions. Additionally, without specific funding, or a suitable premises, restarting the programme was not felt to be viable and consequently, it was with reluctance that our remaining part time worker, Kat Oakley, was made redundant at the end of the financial year.

Works of Love

Works of Love is our sewing and well-being project for socially excluded women in Richmond; it also produces high quality hand-made items to sell in support of our work with homeless people.

We have been running classes five times a week on Zoom during last year’s pandemic, and since April 2021, we started live classes again in our rented unit at Dickson House, TW10 6SP with a smaller number of 5 attendees due to Covid restrictions. Three sewing morning classes are taught by professional instructors and three classes are taught by two volunteers who teach embroidery, knitting and alterations. The total number of participants in the last two months reached 240 with 5 stations equipped with sewing machines. We finished the year with 56 participants, although we limited the numbers at each session to five at any one time.

10

Annual Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 June 2021

VINEYARD COMMUNITY CENTRE

Participants were recruited through the other projects of the Vineyard Community Centre as well as outreach in local libraries and schools and word of mouth. Although not primarily aimed at migrant women last year a very high percentage of participants did not have English as their first language and several were refugees. The women benefitting from this project all suffered from social isolation in one form or another – including those fleeing abusive relationships, single parents, those without any financial independence and long-term unemployment. Over 25% of the participants have issues with mental health and 10% have a formal diagnosis.

The participants receive training in sewing, embroidery, knitting, using a sewing machine and they also produce accessories and cards for Christmas. The products range from aprons, tea bag holders, cutlery pouches, tote bags, yoga bags and many decorative products. There have been several successful stories of women who were taught in sewing and alterations and then started their own independent business.

“Joining the group has given me a sense of purpose, a support network where I feel valued again.”

Not only do the participants develop their personal skills in producing high quality crafts but we have discovered that providing this safe and welcoming environment is a tremendous opportunity to promote well-being and address issues of social exclusion. This has developed and we now host speakers and presenters on a range of topics including sessions on mental health with Richmond MIND, gentle exercise with a personal trainer, sessions on acupuncture and ‘Herbs for Joy and Happiness’. These are having an immediate beneficial effect – as well as overcoming social isolation and reducing loneliness – they are improving well-being. Several of the participants have already reported reducing the medication which they have been taking as well as increasing their confidence and starting to make plans for the future. There have been other additional benefits for the participants – including improving their English language skills, learning about enterprise and, through taking on small piece-work commissions, moving towards more financial independence. The ladies do outings together and become friends.

“One of the best things that happened in my life was meeting Works of Love. I am really happy to be involved with all the projects with the workshops, social sewing and the Vineyard Community Centre.”

Using recycled materials to make and sell high quality bags and accessories at community events and through commissions also provides an opportunity to contribute to the overall work of the charity and the wider community. Sales of Works of Love items were severely restricted due to the pandemic but nevertheless, in the course of the year, £980 was raised towards the costs of the charitable work of the community.

4.4 TRADING

Community Cafe

The café was closed for most of the year due to the covid restrictions and only reopened (for limited table service) in May 2021. In the few weeks it was open it only took £1,772.

Timi Fabian, who had been supervising the café for a number of years, went to work for another charity in June; we have recently appointed Angie Ramsay to replace her.

Vineyard Charity Shops

It has been a challenging year for our charity shops. Due to the covid restrictions we were not able to resume trading until December. And then, after we were open for a few days, we were forced to close again until May. We managed to continue with some limited on-line sales, but our income was severely reduced.

We were however absolutely delighted with the most generous offer from the Richmond Parish Lands Charity to use the ground floor rooms at Vestry House in Paradise Road as a temporary pop-up charity shop. Initially this was for eight months up until July but, as we were unable to open for more than just a few days immediately prior to Christmas, RPLC once again very generously agreed to extend this up until December 2021.

11

Annual Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 June 2021

VINEYARD COMMUNITY CENTRE

We appointed two new job share shop supervisors, Lee Monczak and Ewa Skinder, and reopened in May. With only one full month’s trading before the end of the year we were still pleased to have generated £14,000 in total for the whole year. The shops are now open on Saturdays – as well as weekdays.

5. Staff and Volunteers

We currently employ 16 staff, most of whom are part time. Our managing staff are Christians, as are many of our volunteers who come from local churches representing all the main denominations.

During the year the opportunities for volunteers to contribute to the work were significantly reduced. The shops, the café and other services closed for much of the time and even when we could reopen, in order to maintain healthy social distancing, we needed to keep the numbers inside the buildings down to a minimum. The only area of (temporary) expansion in our volunteer programme was with drivers for the food bank. 17 individuals assisted with this delivering food parcels to beneficiaries across the borough although by the end of the year most of these had returned to their regular jobs as their furlough arrangements stopped and people returned to work.

As our own work picked up again towards the end of the year some of our older volunteers were still fearful and reluctant to return. Consequently, we closed the year with a significant shortage of volunteers and a major recruitment drive to ensure the shops, café and other services are adequately supported.

6. Community support

We are particularly grateful to those organisations, colleges, schools and nurseries, which continued to support us, despite the pandemic restrictions.

We also appreciate the support, encouragement and prayer of nearly 30 local churches from across a range of Christian denominations.

And lastly, we are grateful indeed for individual supporters who donate generously to us, in food, clothing, and finances.

7. Plans for the Future

After a difficult period of closure and significant changes in the staff team the immediate challenge will be to rebuild the team and revive the sense of community that was sadly suppressed during the past year.

9 Financial Review

Funding Overview

Our total income for the year was £810,885. This included a substantial grant of £129,659 which we received from a charity in Ham which closed, for which we are very grateful. The Trustees have designated this to be used toward the development of a new service in that area. The breakdown of our revenue was:

Individual donor giving &
community fundraising 40%
Grant-making Trusts 49%
Government 5%
Company donations 4%
Trading 2%

The low trading % reflects the closure of our Café and Charity Shop for ten months of the past year.

Financial Activity and Financial Position

The Statement of Financial Activities and Balance Sheet can be found on 16 and 17. The Charity’s reserves increased by £173,994 (200 decreased by£113,916). The balance sheet shows total net assets of £416,871 (2020 - £242,877).

Included in total funds are amounts totalling £38,568 (2020 - £56,609) which are restricted. These monies have either been raised for, and their use restricted to, specific purposes, or they comprise grants subject to grantor imposed conditions. Full details of these restricted funds can be found in note 10 to the accounts together with an analysis of movements in the year.

Reserves Policy

The Charity has accumulated reserves of £416,871 (2020 - £242,877). Of these £378,303 (2020 - £186,268) are unrestricted funds.

The Trustees’ aim to maintain a prudent level of reserves of 3 months’ expenditure of unrestricted funds. This was maintained during the past year.

Fundraising policy

Our Chief Executive and Corporate and Grant Fundraiser have responsibility for submitting grant applications. They are conversant with our policy for fundraising from individual supporters to inform them via our Newsletter and Website of the options for giving. We now have online provision through CAF Giving, Easyfundraising, Virgin Giving, PayPal, and Amazon Smile.

No undue pressure is placed on anyone to give. The Trustees are mindful of their responsibility to ensure the special protection of those who use our services – some of whom are vulnerable adults - from being pressurised.

Salary policy

The pay of all staff is reviewed annually in accordance with our Pay Policy and normally increased in accordance with inflation. Salaries reflect the pay levels in other organisations of a similar size run on a voluntary basis. We pay as a minimum the London Living Wage as per the recommendations of the Living Wage Foundation. Currently this is £10.85 per hour which is reviewed in November each year. All staff who were put on furlough under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme were paid their full salary.

Pension Liabilities

The charity does not have a defined benefit pension scheme. Staff who are eligible are auto-enrolled into a workplace pension with The Peoples Pension. The charity has no pension liabilities apart from an ongoing statutory requirement to pay employer’s contribution at a minimum of 3% of salary. The Charity does not pay above this level.

10 Charity Commission Governance Code

The Trustees are mindful of the Charity Commissions’ Governance Code for smaller charities and seeks to apply its principles.

11 Trustees’ Responsibilities in relation to the Financial Statements

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards. The law applicable to charities in England and Wales 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 Charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Charity for that year.

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the Charity 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 Charity and hence to take reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the Charity and financial information included in the Charity’s website.

Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the Vineyard Community Centre

I have examined the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2021 on pages 16 to 29, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on pages 19 and 20.

Respective Responsibilities of Directors/Trustees and Independent Examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. They consider that the audit requirements under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”) do not apply but that an independent examination is needed. I have been appointed to conduct an Independent Examination required by section 145 of the Act and to report in accordance with the regulations made under section 145 of that Act. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts, without performing an audit, and to report to the trustees.

Having satisfied myself that the company is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement

This report is in respect of an examination carried out under section 145 of the Act and in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes a review of the accounts and making such enquiries as are necessary for this report. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

Since the Charity’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 the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, 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 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.

VINEYARD COMMUNITY CENTRE

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Vineyard Community Centre is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The registered office address is The Vineyard, Richmond upon Thames, Surrey TW10 6AQ.

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

Basis of accounting

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 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

The Charity has availed itself of the Companies Act 2006 and adopted the Companies Act format to reflect the special nature of the Charity’s activities.

Going Concern

The Charity is a going concern. Taking into account reserves and anticipated recurring income, the Trustees are confident that the Charity remains a going concern for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these accounts.

Income recognition

Voluntary income and donations (including legacies) are accounted for once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be reliably measured. Income from the recovery of tax on gift aided donations is accounted for in the period to which the relevant donation is received. Grant income is recognised on a receivable basis.

Goods donated (including food) and held as stock for distribution by the charity are recognised as voluntary income when received and as stock. An equivalent amount is included as expenditure when stock is distributed.

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.

No amounts have been included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.

Expenditure recognition

Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable, and the amount of obligation can be measured reliably. Longer term liabilities are discounted to present value. The Charity is not registered for VAT and accordingly expenditure includes VAT where appropriate.

Charitable expenditure includes those costs in fulfilling the Charity’s principal objects, as outlined in the Report of the Trustees. These include grants payable and governance costs.

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the Charity. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award. The notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive the one-year or multi-year grant. Grants awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled condition attaching to that grant is outside of the control of the Charity.

Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty as to the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Governance costs are those incurred in connection with the administration of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, which tasks are undertaken mainly by the Trustees. Governance costs also costs include costs relating to statutory independent examination and legal fees.

The Charity makes contributions to defined contribution pension schemes for eligible employees. The assets of the schemes are held separately from these of the Charity in an independently organised fund. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable under the scheme by the Charity to the fund. The Charity has no liability under the scheme other than for the payment of these contributions.

Taxation

The Company is a Registered Charity and is therefore exempt from taxation under the Income and Corporation Taxes Acts.

Tangible Fixed Assets

The cost of the vehicle has been capitalised and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis method over the estimated useful life of the asset, which is considered to be five years.

Small capital items (under £1,000 each) are written off in the year of purchase.

Stock

Food and other donated stock held for distribution is recognised as an asset on the charity's balance sheet at fair value, which the charity currently deems to be £1.75 per kilo on an aggregated basis.

Debtors

Debtors are included at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation arising 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 recognised at their settlement amount.

Operating Leases

Rentals payable under operating leases, where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership remain with the lessor, are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease term.

Funds Structure

Unrestricted income comprises those funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for specific purposes.

Charity Shop sales and expenditure have been shown partly as an income generating activity and partly as a charitable activity. This is because the Shop has elements of both activities. There is a charitable element because it is an integral part of the Centre, connects with the community, provides volunteering opportunities for service users and some of the donated goods are given to the homeless & other charities.

Grants include £25,138 (2020 - £17,637) received in relation to the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.
