## **Structure, governance and management** 

Didsbury Good Neighbours is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 29th November 2011 and registered on the 16th December 2011. 

It was registered as a charity with the Charity Commission on 16th February 2012. 

## **Appointment and Recruitment of Trustees** 

The trustees are elected on an annual basis, at the AGM. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The charity's objects are specifically restricted to the following: ‘To promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of Didsbury and surrounding areas any purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the laws of England and Wales and in particular but without limitation to provide services to those persons who are in need by reason of their sickness, age or disability.’ 

## **DGN's mission** 

Our mission is to enable older people in Didsbury and surrounding areas to lead independent and fulfilling lives, especially those in need due to physical or mental frailty, isolation or poverty. We do this by providing activities to support mental and physical wellbeing; high quality befriending and support services and by promoting social inclusion. 

## **Our vision and values** 

We aspire to be a society where all older people are treated with respect and have the opportunity to enjoy life. We enrich the lives of older people in Didsbury by providing practical help and creating opportunities to: Contribute to society Connect with others Live life to the full 

## **Public benefit** 

In planning our activities for the year we kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. 

## **A review of our achievements and performance** 

During 2020/2021 DGN has provided a weekly programme of activities for isolated older people. We have recruited and trained local volunteers to act as befrienders, helping support activities and individuals. We have run a neighbourhood community centre and cafe in Didsbury Park, as the base for our activities, complementing our befriending work in the community 

The three pillars of our work are Activities, Befriending and Social inclusion. Activities for local older people include access and support to weekly group activities: 

- Coffee mornings, with a programme of talks, games, quizzes etc 

- Lunch club 

- Men’s discussion group 

- Chair exercise classes, to improve mobility and core strength 

- Art and craft groups 

- Music and guitar groups 

- Film club 

- Support with digital technology and social media - phones, i-pads etc - group sessions and 1:1advice 

- Friendship group for dementia sufferers 

- Regular programme of outings and trips including:

- Day trips to places of special interest 

- Accompanied trips to the cinema, concerts, ballet, opera and the theatre 

- Annual summer afternoon tea party and Christmas party. 

Befriending – DGN’s volunteers provided the following services: 

- Befriending isolated older people, providing one:one home visits, responding to individual interests 

- Wheelchair pushing, supported walks 

- Driving to activities and appointments 

- Weekly friendship phone calls, talking over the week's news, checking all is well 

- Help with shopping 

- Help with small tasks in the garden 

- As-and-when tasks 

Social inclusion - DGN is based in the Neighbourhood Centre in Didsbury Park. During 2020/2021 we have reconfigured the building to provide a local information hub and the base for our daily activities alongside the Pavilion Café, together they provide a meeting place with a welcoming environment for older people. 

## **Chairs report** 

It would be an understatement to say that 20/21 was a challenging year. Who could have predicted a virus that would cause terrible financial, physical and emotional hardship for so many?  By March 2020 it became obvious that we were in the middle of a pandemic and that we would be living with Covid19 for some considerable time. 

At DGN our staff, trustees and volunteers have been marvellous, their adaptability and in depth knowledge of our members and local older residents became our key strengths. We established a major transformation programme, clarifying our direction to increase our impact, above all designing a system to keep staff and volunteers safe whilst responding to the growing number of requests for both emotional and physical support. No request for assistance went unanswered. 

We closed our office to the public and moved all our face-to-face services to phone and digital platforms. We launched new services, such as our phone befriending service, to bring people together who were feeling even more isolated during the pandemic. Using hand delivered newsletters, Zoom, what’s app, text, email and phone calls we kept in touch with all our members, this enabled us to address any welfare or safeguarding issues that emerged, and we were able to link those who needed specific help with health and social care colleagues, we were especially grateful for support from health service Community Navigators. 

With the closure of regular activities our income streams began to dry up. Trustees were worried that we might fall into serious financial difficulties so we set about designing a ‘Covid Impact’ fundraising programme. By mid year we had exceeded our £50,000 target and we remain immensely grateful to the wide range of individuals and funding agencies who have supported our work. In July 2020 we reopened our café as a takeaway, providing a Covid information hub for our older customers and much needed income for DGN. The café staff worked closely with DGN’s wider team providing a range of simple takeaway food and treats for our many loyal customers. 

We are now, thankfully, moving to the point where we have a more familiar programme of activities. Yet we are not back to normal, Covid19 is still with us and its impact on 

4 



DGN and our members continues. We are still practicing social distancing and our activity groups are smaller than in pre-pandemic times. 

We also clarified the charity’s focus and thematic priorities. We are focussing our resources on the critical areas of health, care and loneliness, we are building partnerships to help us concentrate our efforts where we will have the greatest impact and reach. 

We have enjoyed working more closely with neighbouring Care services in Chorlton and Withington and strengthening our partnerships with MCC and local health providers. 

It is against this backdrop that we began to review our operations including policies and procedures, developing our safeguarding, assurance and compliance frameworks, and improving the quality, safety and use of our data. 

As we move out of 20/21 we have taken the decision to appoint a manager for the charity to lead us into our new strategy. 

While 2021 was more challenging than we had either hoped or expected, I  thank our staff, trustees and volunteers who have risen to the challenge and worked tirelessly to ensure that DGN could continue to deliver high-quality services to local older residents. We look forward to continuing our work in 2021/22. 

## **Financial review** 

Our business model was severely compromised as a result of the onset of the pandemic that resulted in local restrictions and lockdowns, since it meant we had to close the Centre and so had no revenue from our two main business streams, activities and room hire. We refocussed the business model as we moved into the 20/21 financial year. Staff worked from home for the benefit of our clients and we delivered much of our support to clients remotely, especially with telephone befriending and regular contact to support them at home. 

Thanks to Manchester City Council for continuing to support us with the Wellbeing grant which is our source of funding for our core staff without whom the charity could not function. We bid successfully to Covid Support funding sources and were awarded grants from Manchester City Council, Manchester Airport, Forever Manchester, We love Manchester, National Lottery Community Support Fund, Independent Age and the Social Enterprise Support Fund, together with a number of substantial individual donations.  These provided contributions to additional staff wages and equipment, training and materials to underpin our move to remote working and Covid-safe working practices and environments. 

Our subsidiary, Didsbury Pavilion Café, closed in March 20 and staff were furloughed.  We reopened again as a takeaway from July 20 with low expectations for turnover as we had not provided a takeaway service before.  We were amazed at the response – people were coming to the Park in much greater numbers as one of the few healthy locations available and, with many other local cafes closed, we became one of the few destinations where you could get food and drink and a lovely walk. As a result, we had our best year ever in terms of turnover and surplus, so that we were able to transfer £20K to the parent Charity at the end of the year.  The fact that more people have become aware of the Park and the Café and the value of opportunities for exercise that the Park offers has left a legacy of a customer base significantly greater than before the pandemic and this is coming through in the turnover in the current financial year 2021-22. 

We hope that the situation will improve in the new financial year, providing more certainty. The year 20/21 showed clearly that the financial health of an organisation such as ours is built on as many sources of income as possible.  I would particularly 

5 



like to thank those of you who have donated and/or gift aided funds to us. All donations, however large or small, help us to continue our work in the local community and without your support our work would be that much less effective. Thank you for support - it is much appreciated. 

There were no restricted funds at 31st March 2021. 

We do not employ professional fundraisers. 

We have not received any income from either Central Government or MCC other than grants during the financial year. 

We made no expenditures outside England and Wales 

## **Reserves policy and going concern** 

The trustees aim to maintain sufficient reserves to meet day to day expenditure. At 31st March 2021, the free unrestricted reserves, excluding fixed assets, were £23,005 (2020: £57,209). 

The trustees, having regard to reserves and current activity levels consider that the charity is a going concern. 

Members have agreed to contribute a sum not exceeding £10 in the event of the company winding up. 

## **Risk management** 

The Trustees are satisfied that the risk management policies and procedures for the Charity are adequate. 

## **Related parties and co-operation with other organisations** 

None of our trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the charity. Any connection between a trustee or senior manager with any service providers must be disclosed to the full board of trustees in the same way as any other contractual relationship with a related party. In the current year no such related party transactions were reported. 

## **Trustees responsibilities in relation to the financial statements** 

The charity trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for the year under section 144(2) of the Charities act 2011and that an independent examination is needed. 

Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting principles and then apply them consistently; 

- Observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP; 

- Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures that must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements; • Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is appropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

6 



The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to 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 taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. By order of the board of trustees

## **Didsbury Good Neighbours Independent examiners' report to the members of Didsbury Good Neighbours** 

I report on the unaudited accounts of Didsbury Good Neighbours for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland". 

## **Respective responsibilities of 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. 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. 

I am qualified to undertake the examination, being a qualified member of the Association of International Accountants (AIA). 

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; 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of the independent examiner's report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 requirement 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.

**Didsbury Good Neighbours Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021** 

## **1 Summary of significant accounting policies** 

## _**Basis of preparation**_ 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). 

## _**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. 

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised 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 and is not deferred. 

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. 

Income received in advance of the provision of specified services it is deferred until the criteria for income recognition is met. 

## _**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. 

## _**Fund accounting**_ 

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the Charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the Charity. 

## _**Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT**_ 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. 

12 



## **Didsbury Good Neighbours Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021** 

## _**Tangible  fixed assets**_ 

Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Additions of a single item over £100 are capitalised at cost. 

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows: 

Building improvements over 10 years Computer and office equipment over 3 years 

## _**Investments**_ 

Investments in unquoted equity instruments are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. Fair value is estimated by using a valuation technique. 

## _**Debtors**_ 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## _**Cash at bank and in hand**_ 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## _**Creditors**_ 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting 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 normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## _**Pensions**_ 

Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period to which they relate. 

## **2 Legal status of the Charity** 

The Charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per Trustee of the Charity.
