Trustees' Report
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2022
The Trustees present their report together with the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022.
Constitution and Objects
North Somerset Mencap is a charitable company, limited by guarantee, and registered in England and Wales. Its affairs are managed by the Trustees who are registered as Directors of the Company.
The activities of the charity are governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, dated 21 September 2011.
The primary objectives of the charity are to improve the conditions of life, inclusion within the community, and to provide relief to people with a learning disability.
Organisation
The Trustees who have served during the period are set out on page 1. The number of Trustees shall not be less than three but shall not be subject to any maximum.
Public Benefit Statement
The primary objectives of the charity are to improve the conditions of life, inclusion within the community, and to provide relief to people with a learning disability. In particular, for the provision of help and support for them and for their families, dependants and carers, and to provide or assist in the provision of facilities for the recreation or other leisure occupation for people who have need thereof by reason of learning disability and with the object of protecting their wellbeing.
The charity’s property, 4a The Beach House, houses four people with learning disabilities enabling them to live independently from their families whilst having a team of support workers to assist where and when required.
Achievements and Plans
4a The Beach is now managed by Freeways that provide the support needed by the four tenants who each have their own room with communal kitchen, bathroom and living room.
The house itself is repaired and maintained by North Somerset Mencap.
The house has required substantial maintenance in the current year and last few years, this is expected to continue. Freeways will continue to provide a maintenance service to North Somerset Mencap, to ensure that repairs and maintenance are carried out in a timely manner and that all landlord statutory requirements continue to be met in respect of the property.
The Sports Section is still very popular with the young adults and runs during term time. Games and sports are organised for the young adults by a qualified sports worker, who is paid, and volunteers assist. The same group of people organise a regular disco which still remains popular.
The charity is looking to continue to provide the above services and is still reviewing other ways of providing transport or covering the costs of the transport provided in order that the Sports Section can continue to flourish.
Financial Review
The assets, including freehold property 4a The Beach, were transferred from North Somerset Mencap Charity Trust (Charity number 264021), originally called “The Woodspring Society for the Mentally Handicapped” on the incorporation of the charity.
The charity made a surplus in the year to 30 June 2022 of £15,510 (2021: £11,609).
4a The Beach rental income has exceeded the maintenance costs during the year.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
North Somerset Mencap
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 30 June 2022, which are set out on pages 5 to 11.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and 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. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity 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 2011 Act ;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5) (b) of the 2011 Act ; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. 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 present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of certain fixed assets, and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2005)', issued in March 2005, applicable accounting standards and the Companies Act 2006.
Fund accounting policy
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Further details of each fund are disclosed in note 15.
Incoming resources
Voluntary income including donations and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.
Income from charitable activities includes income recognised as earned (as the related goods or services are provided) under contract.
Resources expended
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs
Governance costs include costs of the preparation and examination of the statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and the cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £0 or more are initially recorded at cost.
