Annual Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 June 2025
The Trustees submit their report and the financial statements of Vineyard Community Centre (“the Charity”) for the year ended 30th June 2025. The financial statements have been prepared in the format prescribed by the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP2019 (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
1.1 Organisation
The Board of Trustees administers the Charity, and the Board meets quarterly.
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. The Board members support the Chief Executive and provide a sounding board and a pool of expertise for him to draw on.
1.2 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 Chief Executive meets the Chairman and Company Secretary regularly and reports formally to the Chairman and Company Secretary each month.
1.3 Trustee Induction and Training
All trustees are encouraged to understand their legal 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. Webinar seminars run by the Charity Commission are used to update the Trustees on governance as are those run by the Richmond Council for Voluntary Services.
When new Trustees are appointed, they are made aware of the seriousness of their responsibilities and obligations under charity and company law.
1.4 Charity Commission Governance Code
The Trustees are mindful of the Charity Commissions’ Governance Code for smaller charities and seeks to apply its principles.
1.5 Risk Management
A comprehensive Risk Management Register was approved by the Board last year and will be reviewed this year. The formulation of a Disaster Recovery Plan forms part of our Business Strategy.
Our landlord, the Life Church, Richmond, carries out monthly Legionnaires Disease Risk Assessment checks at the Vineyard Centre, as well as a Full Fire Risk Assessment every three years by a Health & Safety Consultant.
1.6 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 many organisations with a similar vision. These are detailed below in the Report by David Logan, CEO, below.
1.7 Strategic Plan 2025 – 2029
Our Strategic Plan for 2025-2029 was approved in October 2024 and focuses on key areas of development to meet the needs of those we serve extending our services, building organisational capability, building community networks and securing sustainable funding. Progress is reviewed by the Trustees quarterly.

VINEYARD COMMUNITY CENTRE
2. Overview of our services over the past 12 months (Section 2 to 5) - Report by David Logan, Chief Executive
2.1 Urgent Need for Our Work
We continue to experience record levels of complex crises in Richmond, with increased homelessness, food poverty, and mental health issues driven by multiple factors including soaring costs, stagnant wages, benefits insufficiency, cuts and delays, illness, unemployment, and refugee arrivals. Rough sleeping remains high locally, mirroring a further 10% increase across London.
Demand for our crisis services continues to grow, with increasing complexity and mental health needs. Our emergency food provision, up 75% in five years and still slowly rising, continues to support over 6,000 people, including many children and working adults who still can’t afford the basics. This reflects the national picture where 7.3 million adults and 14% of households now face food insecurity, with food poverty estimated at three times the level of foodbank use.
2.2 Our mission - Help in Crisis, Hope for Life
Our mission is to provide innovative, compassionate support for those in crisis, helping individuals reach their full potential. Since launching in 2012, we've grown from our centre at Vineyard Life Church to ten locations, including six satellite foodbanks, and expanded and diversified our outreach through various means.
“I came for food and left with friendship….” – ML
2.3 Achievements, Strategy and Growth
This year, having finalised our new five-year strategy, we supported thousands facing complex challenges and key staff joined us, including Simon Gallant (Business Manager) and Romi Escobar (Foodbank Assistant Manager). Alongside this, Melinda McHugh and Hannah Ryland-Brown established a thriving new chapter for our charity shops, and we began the expansion work of our social enterprise developments. Though some staff turnover and gaps posed challenges to service delivery and impact data capture, our team showed great resilience, positivity, and morale.
2.4 Award Recognition
We were encouraged to receive local recognition of our work for the third year running as part of Richmond’s Business Awards Best Charity category and our local government’s Community Heroes Awards, celebrating our life-changing and

community building work through these times of intense crises. These honours reflect the dedication of our incredible community of guests, volunteers, partners, and staff, who make our work possible.
3. Our Services: Advancing Support in a Time of Unrelenting Need
3.1. Activities and the Public Benefit
Despite overwhelming need, this has been a steady year of progress for Vineyard Community & Richmond Foodbank. We continue to serve as a friendship hub, offering free, compassionate holistic support to all in need, while collaborating with many diverse partner agencies to extend and strengthen our reach and transformative impact.
Our small staff team of 16 (almost all part-time) is now supported by 190 dedicated volunteers as our trustees ensure all services align with our new mission strategy and the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance.
Our services include:
-
Daily Crisis Drop-in, Foodbank (Plus), Healthcare, and Holistic support for Individuals, Family & the Community.
-
Weekly Women’s Hub, Refugee Hub, and Mental Health Support
-
Social Enterprises: Charity Shops, along with our new Recovery-led Community Essentials Hub and Café currently in development
Demand remains at record highs, with still more people facing crisis for the first time. We remain committed to journeying alongside those feeling alone in desperate hardship throughout our communities.

3.2 Crisis Services Overview
“I came starving, broke, desperate for safety after putting off asking for help for two years. It’s so quickly changed things for me...” – HM
Demand for our Crisis Services remains extremely high, with 75% more people supported than five years ago. Our enhanced Community Nursing Clinic has thrived in its first year of expanding into partnerships with the NHS Homeless Healthcare Service as well as an optician and oral health services, enabling us to offer broader, higher-level and more impactful healthcare support.

Our daily Crisis & Emergency Food Services in Action
3.5 Our Multi-Agency Collaborative Partnership Work
Complex Crisis Services Partnerships
We’ve established and further strengthened many partnerships this year including with Citizens Advice, RCDAS, WorkMatch, We Are With You, Homeless Healthcare, local opticians, vets, oral health services, local borough Health & Wellbeing Bus Services and Events alongside several others to allow for more development of our whole-person support services. Our collaborations with Glass Door, Salvation Army, SPEAR, and numerous others continue to deepen our housing, training, complex crisis and multiple disadvantages support.
3.6 Vineyard Well: Crisis Healthcare & Wellbeing Services
Our new NHS Homeless Healthcare partnerships have greatly improved our medical support, assisting with 451 guest contacts with physical & mental health and wider-life interventions. Our collaboration with RCDAS and We Are With You delivered 249 addiction recovery and life support interventions over 119 hosted sessions, including 191 psychosocial interventions, 34 third party connection and advocacy interventions, and over 40 outreach journeys to street homeless guests.
Richmond Borough Mind and Dual Diagnosis Support Work have had a difficult year as a result of staff turnover and have not been able to offer reliable attendance which is something we look forward to seeing return to stability. Health Link supported 128 people with wellbeing and advocacy, Hepatitis C Trust helped 63 guests despite attendance challenges, and SPECTRA offered sexual health outreach to 23 complex crisis guests during daily crisis drop-ins.
Along with this we hosted and delivered three Health and Wellbeing events that were very highly attended and engaged with by a range of 7-10 key partner agencies and 60-70 guests each time.
“It’s been tough, losing relationships, getting cancer, trauma from being on the streets. I came here cause it’s like a place where you feel love if you’re down or lonely. The people here are caring, and we have fun even when life’s hard” – CA

3.7 Street Homeless, Vulnerably Housed, and Related Crisis Support
Our vital and transformative street homeless partnership with Glass Door supported 216 complex crisis guests (81 women, 131 men, 4 undisclosed), with 31 moving off the streets into accommodation with ongoing support, 46 receiving access to benefits and / or financial assistance, 47 provided with emergency food, 9 securing crucial ID documentation, 8 accessing essential longer-term healthcare. Alongside this work, our partnership with SPEAR assisted 27 guests, with 9 moving into temporary housing and 16 connected to healthcare as well as more than 100 helped through our collaboration with them on the three Health & Wellbeing events and a wonderful Christmas Dinner and Party for our homeless and isolated guests.
“These guys got me off the streets in minus temperatures and kept supporting me to get an income, get used to having a home and everything. It’s not been easy but I’m slowly rebuilding my mind and my life. This is a really good place” – LK
3.8 Training & Employment Support
Our partner projects have sustained their impact, addressing complex pre-employment needs alongside training and job support.
Salvation Army Employment Plus helped 28 guests towards training and employment in areas like IT, construction, catering, security, and language skills.
WorkMatch, a new partnership, supported 6 refugee guests with CVs, skills, training and employment opportunities and are now increasing their time and collaboration with us.
“I came a few years ago after leaving hospital from a suicide attempt. I’d lost my family, job and home, and was scared and depressed. They helped me completely recover in every part of life and now I’m about to open my own business from a national seed funding award I won.” – BL
3.9 Specialist Partnerships
Our Multiple Disadvantage Support, Complex Case Support Work and Vet partnerships remain a crucial help for those of our guests who often most concern us due to how disturbed and hard to reach they are. 14 guests were greatly helped by this work in the year.
3.10 Support for Refugees
Our Vineyard Refugee Hub, partnering with Refugees Welcome in Richmond and the Ukrainian Social Club, provided 43 sessions supporting 315 refugee connections, with 125 accessing our broader crisis services.
Citizens Advice delivered twice-weekly sessions, supporting 42 guests in over 70 sessions, including through our Foodbank Plus and refugee support programs.
“It makes me cry reflecting on how much my daughter and I have been helped. The kindness here changed everything, like a light coming into our darkness.” – AC
4. Working Collaboratively
We remain committed to the power in diversity of collaboration, daily hosting a variety of partnering agencies to address growing complex needs. Our recent project developments and new partnerships have once again strengthened our services, making this another transformative year in terms of impact, cementing our role as a key driver of change in the communities of our borough.
Alongside increasing our support for other local charities and organisations, we’ve again been able to expand partnerships with local community centres, schools, churches, the NHS, and therapy services.
These collaborations created increased emergency food offers, refugee support, holistic healthcare, further community connection and cohesion, and another renewed offer of empowering education courses. Our Richmond Women’s Hub, the borough’s first support of its kind for women in crisis, and the ongoing partnering towards establishing Richmond’s first Domestic Violence Survivors Forum are fantastic new offers for the communities of our borough.

4.1 Community Cohesion Services
Local families and individuals enjoying our Community Services
As the cost of basic necessities continues to rise, we have maintained our caring impact on this front with our year-round support sessions and workshops, including providing a wide range of essentials for free, therapy, arts, mental health, and refugee support at our centre. In partnership with Life Church Richmond, our café and garden provide warm, welcoming and peaceful spaces of sanctuary for building connection and hosting access to expert help. These initiatives offer practical

aid and inspire community for vulnerable families, the lonely and elderly, and those facing financial and mental health challenges.
4.2 Our Food Poverty Plus Services
Our food poverty services, including Richmond Foodbank Plus, supported over 6,000 people again this year, partnering with local churches, schools, businesses, and Trussell. We remain agile in meeting rising demand while supplying numerous local causes to maximise impact.
Our Guests Experiencing Food Poverty Enjoying Our Community & Support
Our food poverty services supported 6,673 people in crisis, including 1,748 children. Most assistance, 51%, went to vulnerable families, with another 21% to single parent families, and the remaining 28% being for individuals facing severe hardship.
“‘The people here helped me escape domestic and financial abuse. I was very scared and upset with losing everything. They helped me access refuge and financial aid, and then I was able to train and go into teaching, which I’m loving so much. My life has been completely turned around.” - EK
4.3 Vineyard Studio and Charity Shops Social Enterprise
Vineyard Studio remained a vital asset to our Foodbank logistics and operations, continuing to provide crucial community aid while preparations are underway for its redevelopment into a space offering mental health and wellbeing support for when it's no longer required for foodbank use. Thanks to the flexibility of this facility and its responsive, adaptable support team, we were able to maintain stability in our food poverty provision throughout a year that involved a few operational challenges across our teams and department locations.
Our charity shops, including our new high-end boutique which has just reached the end of its first year, continue to provide vital funds for our work as well as vital social enterprise opportunities for local people emerging from very difficult and isolating circumstances. The boutique has thrived in both sales and community connection, building cohesion both in person and online. It has been shortlisted for prestigious awards including the UK’s Best Charity Shop.

4.4 Local Community and Corporate Volunteering
Volunteer numbers grew 10% again, showing strong community support from local businesses, groups, churches, families, and individuals and we host frequent thank you events for our dedicated volunteers helping us meet such high need.
Community & Corporate Volunteers and Guests enjoying our Community Cohesion Services
Many volunteers, some former beneficiaries, bring their own lived experiences and dedication to our team, embodying the inclusive spirit that strengthens and enriches our mission.
“I worried about coming but my daughter and I were really struggling after my business closed. When we got here, it was such an unexpectedly embracing experience. It’s been great to have food, to feel stability, and to just have people in life to be with. I love now volunteering my old healthcare professional skills and giving that something back too.” – SD
5. Conclusion
Amid unprecedented local and national crises, our innovative initiatives and expanding partnerships have strengthened support for vulnerable families, nurturing community resilience across our borough. We remain devoted to delivering lifechanging help and hope to every person in need.
Thanks to Our Community
We are a diverse, united community overcoming loneliness and need, grateful to all who contribute across cultures and sectors to make a such tangible transformative difference.
Vineyard Community & Richmond Foodbank continues to be one of Richmond’s most vital organisations. Through its unwavering commitment, it has changed countless lives in our community, supporting those facing homelessness, hunger, isolation, and those seeking refuge in our area. I honestly don’t know how we’d manage without them, and I’m deeply grateful for their ever-growing, inspiring contribution. – Sarah Olney, MP for Richmond Park and North Kingston

VINEYARD COMMUNITY CENTRE
Annual Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 June 2025
Having spent time with the dedicated staff and volunteers at the Vineyard Community & Richmond Foodbank, I’ve witnessed firsthand the vital support they offer to people across our community. As the cost-of-living continues to put pressure on hard-working families, their work is more crucial than ever. I’m incredibly thankful for all they do to support those experiencing homelessness, food insecurity, mental health challenges, and loneliness, as well as for the warm welcome they extend to refugees arriving in our borough. Speaking with the people at their hub, it’s clear they’ve found a caring and supportive community. Their impact is real and lasting, and on behalf of the people of Twickenham, I extend heartfelt thanks for all they continue to do. – Munira Wilson, MP for Twickenham
While Richmond and is often seen as affluent, there continues to be many who face disadvantage, including, sadly, those experiencing homelessness. Thankfully, we are fortunate to have Vineyard Community & Richmond Foodbank, whose ongoing exceptional work I’ve witnessed personally. Beyond providing emergency food, clothing, and a daily hot breakfast, they offer a wide range of vital services from health and housing support to career advice and long-term guidance. Under dedicated leadership, their passionate staff and volunteers deliver truly outstanding support. We have every reason to be proud of and deeply grateful for their remarkable work. – Lord Lee of Trafford
And finally, as we begin to stabilise with the hugely increased need and demand for our services and emerge from being largely driven by crisis response, we have taken a more proactive approach in inviting guests across all our services to share their feedback on the impact our support has had on their lives and the lives of their family members. This valuable insight is playing a central role in shaping the future development of our services as part of our five-year strategic plan. To date, over 200 individuals have reported that our services have made a significant and positive difference to their wellbeing and that of their families.

6.2 Financial Activity and Financial Position

VINEYARD COMMUNITY CENTRE
Annual Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 June 2025
Full details of these restricted funds can be found in note 11 to the accounts together with an analysis of movements in the year.
6.3 Reserves Policy
The Trustees have examined the requirements for free reserves, i.e. those unrestricted funds not invested in tangible fixed assets. The Trustees consider that, given the nature of the Charity’s funding, free reserves should be equivalent to approximately 3 months’ worth of budgeted expenditure (after adjusting for projects with matching grant income and expenditure) in order to provide sufficient flexibility to cover temporary shortfalls in incoming resources and allow the Charity to cope and respond to unforeseen emergencies whilst specific action plans are implemented. At 30 June 2025 the Charity had net free reserves of £386,675 (2024: £313,872) as follows:
| Charity had net free reserves of £386,675 (2024: £313,872) as follows: | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| £ | £ | |
| Total reserves | 452,270 | 377,710 |

| Less: restricted funds | (24,912) | (42,199) |
| Less: foodbank stock | (11,932) | (9,350) |
| Free reserves | 386,675 | 313,872 |
| Free reserves requirement: | ||
| 3 month’s budgeted expenditure | 200,000 | 110,000 |
| New charity shop investment | 35,000 | 35,000 |
| Refurbishment of community centre | 100,000 | 100,000 |
| Total free reserves requirement | 335,000 | 245,000 |
The Trustees are aware that free reserves are currently in excess of the free reserves requirement. These reserves form an important element in implementing those aspects of our Strategic Plan.
6.4 Fundraising policy
Our Chief Executive and Grant Manager have responsibility for submitting grant applications. They are also conversant with our policy for fundraising from individual supporters through our Newsletter and Website of the options for giving. We have online provision for donor giving through CAF Giving, Easyfundraising, and Paypal.
No 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.
6.5 Salary policy
The pay of all staff is reviewed annually in accordance with our Salary 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. We are mindful of the steep rise in the cost of living over the last year and its impact on our staff.
6.6 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 employer contribution was increased to 5% of salary in October 2024.
7. Plans for the future
We will continue to implement our Five-Year Strategic plan for The Vineyard Community and Richmond Foodbank which is now in its second year. Our plan focuses on key areas of development to meet the needs of those we serve through extending our services, building organisational capability, building community networks and securing sustainable funding.
13
VINEYARD COMMUNITY CENTRE
Annual Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 June 2025
The coming year will involve considerable improvements in our basement to improve our facilities, as well as extending our services to the new site next door. This has recently been bought by the Life Church, Richmond and will be leased to us, once refurbishments have been carried out. Funding will be sought for both these capital developments.
8. 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:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently:
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP:
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
preparing the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
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.

The report of the Trustees was approved by the Trustees on 29 September 2025 and signed on their behalf by:

VINEYARD COMMUNITY CENTRE
Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the Vineyard Community Centre
I have examined the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2025 on pages 17 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:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Direction given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act); and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2025
VINEYARD COMMUNITY CENTRE
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.

VINEYARD COMMUNITY CENTRE
1. Accounting Policies (Continued)
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.
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 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
Fixed assets are capitalised and are depreciated on a straight-line basis method over the estimated useful life of the asset, which is considered to be as follows:
Plant & equipment 4 years Motor vehicle 5 years Furniture fixtures & fittings 5 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 £2.77 per kilo (2024: £2.37 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 a trading 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.
