NUNSMOOR CENTRE TRUST (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2024 

## **Nunsmoor Centre Trust Annual Report** 

The trustees are pleased to present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the period ended 31 March 2024, which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a Directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes. 

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2022, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and 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) 

## **1. Objectives and Activities** 

The objectives are ‘to promote the benefit of children, young people and families by advancing education, protecting and preserving health and relieving the effects of poverty and providing facilities for the recreation and leisure-time occupation by promoting, supporting and improving the Nunsmoor Centre.’ 

The Trust's Parent and Toddler Group is a vital resource for families in the community, especially after the reduction of Sure Start services in the city. This facility operates with the Toy Library, which was expanded this year to loan toys and equipment for under-5s to parents and carers. These groups continue to thrive, fostering friendships and support among parents while benefiting their children's development. We often direct parents to additional supportive services. 

The Trust has a stock of sensory equipment, which can be borrowed by staff from other agencies supporting families who have a child with additional needs or disabilities. The Trust can also loan this equipment to families and carers where appropriate. This provision encourages local families to take home and try out toys that they would not ordinarily have access to and it encourages play and builds relationships between parents and children. 

The Sensory room has been incredibly popular and some new equipment has been added. All families living in Newcastle can book this amazing facility free of charge. 

The Trust has continued to work in partnership with students from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne (N.E.S.T.) to provide a session for older young people to learn Circus skills. This opportunity builds friendships, whilst the young people gain new skills including team work and learning new motor skills. It helps the young people to feel an inclusive part of the community whilst having fun. 

Work has continued by the Trust to enhance community events – adding to the resources available to local families from diverse cultural backgrounds. We continue to work with families from over thirty different cultural backgrounds. We work in partnership with other local organisations to provide the best possible provision for

our Centre users. We hosted our annual community diversity celebration event in July 2023 which brought many organisations and members of the community together. It was a wonderful celebration of different cultures through arts and crafts, music, dance and food. 

The Trust has extended the contract to facilitate the Access Fund for Newcastle City Council. These awards enable children and young people with additional needs and disabilities to participate in community activities. Our ongoing involvement in this initiative has increased the inclusivity of the Centre's clientele by local residents with diverse needs and familiarising them with the Centre's offerings. We have offered additional support to families, children, and young people to assist them in participating in activities and addressing their challenges and difficulties. 

We obtained funding through the Community Foundation to be able to run Saturday and Sunday Play sessions. The sessions were hugely popular and well received by the community. Children and young people have grown their own vegetables which they have then been able to cook and eat. They have worked together in teams to plan activities and produce musical instruments from junk. They have shared tasks and supported each other. Families have shared experiences and information and new friendships have been formed. 

We were able to provide a Winter Festival at the end of 2023 with the community coming together on a cold wintery day. A large outdoor Christmas tree was arranged, and we hosted a 'switching on of the Christmas lights ceremony' which was wellreceived by the community. The event featured seasonal music, wreath-making activities and crafts. Santa's grotto was particularly successful. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

To achieve our aims and objectives the Trustees have successfully provided: 

- A Parent and Toddler Group 

- A Toy Library 

- Summer Weekend Play Project 

- Facilitation of the Access Fund to support disabled young people and their families 

- The Sensory Room 

- Seasonal events and activities

NUNSMOOR CENTRE TRUST (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2024 

The Trust has several key holders for the centre. This enables us to provide more ‘out of hours’ activities during the evenings and weekends. We are able to support other organisations and groups to make use of the centre for their activities and meetings. Many of our activities are achieved through partnership working with other organisations; this ensures that we provide the best possible range of activities for the community that we serve. 

## **2. Plans for Future Periods** 

The Trustees future planning has been built on through continued consultation and review with our clientele. Our concern continues to focus on ensuring that the centre remains a community facility in the future. We have been seeking funds to continue the work we are already undertaking and to look at what we can practically develop in response to identified local need. 

The Trustees have resolved to close the charity within the next 12 months due to insufficient capacity on the board to manage the program of activities at the centre following unsuccessful attempts to secure funding for a paid management position.

NUNSMOOR CENTRE TRUST (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2024 

## **5. Financial Review** 

Nunsmoor Centre Trust is primarily funded by grants and contracts. The total income for the year was £72,580 (2023: £99,377). This income is allocated across respective funds on the Statement of Financial Activities in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice. 

The Statement of Financial Activities for the year ended 31 March 2024, shows a deficit across all funds of £21,748 (2023: deficit £2,774). 

The Balance Sheet at 31 March 2024 shows total funds carried forward of £15,010 (2023: £36,758) of which there are £13,558 restricted funds (2023: £29,632) and £1,452 unrestricted funds (2023:£7,126). 

## Reserves policy 

Nunsmoor Centre Trust has maintained a level of free reserves over the years currently £1,452 to meet the working capital requirements of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding (excluding activity costs). It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not invested in fixed assets held by the charity should be 3 months of annual expenditure, this presently equates to £3,905. As the trustees intend to close the charity within the next 12 months, they consider that sufficient funds are available to enable an orderly close down. All restricted funds are spent in accordance with grant terms and conditions. 

**Please note:** The Access Fund monies are held in custodian on behalf of Newcastle City Council for the purpose of facilitating grants to children and young people with SEND to participate in activities within their local communities. 

## **6. Statement of Trustee Responsibilities** 

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The charity trustees are required 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 incoming resources and application of resources. In preparing financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES** 

For the year ended 31 March 2024 

I report on the financial statements of Nunsmoor Centre Trust for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages 8 to 19. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees (who are also directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2022 ("the Charities 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 Charities Act, 

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

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

## **Basis of independent examiner's statement** 

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 the 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 material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or 

- the accounts do not accord with such records; or 

- the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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 Charities SORP (FRS102). 

I 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 31 March 2024 

## 1 **Accounting Policies** 

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

## 2 **Basis of accounting** 

## 2.1 **Basis of preparation** 

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. 

The accounts 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 Charities Act 2022. 

Nunsmoor Centre Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 

## 2.2 **Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis** 

The trustees have made the decision to close the charity within the next 12 months based on the lack of capacity within the board to be able to manage the programme of activities at the centre after failing to secure funding for a paid management post. Accordingly the financial statements have not been prepared on the going concern basis. 

## 3 **Income** 

## 3.1 **Recognition of income** 

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the resources, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is more likely than not that the resources will be received and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## 3.2 **Offsetting** 

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by FRS102 SORP or FRS102. 

## 3.3 **Grants and donations** 

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. 

Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria of income recognition are met.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

For the year ended 31 March 2024 

## 3.4 **Donated goods and services** 

Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. 

Donated services and facilities are included in the SoFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided that the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with the equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SoFA. 

## 3.5 **Volunteer help** 

The value of volunteer help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees' annual report. 

## 3.6 **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. 

## 3.7 **Income from membership subscriptions** 

Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in donations and legacies. 

Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. 

## 3.8 **Investment gains and losses** 

This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. 

## 3.9 **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the 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. 

## 4 **Expenditure and liabilities** 

## 4.1 **Liability recognition** 

Liabilities are recognised when it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. 

## 4.2 **Charitable activities** 

Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of project activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

## 4.3 **Governance and support costs** 

Support costs have been allocated between governance cost and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. 

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## 4.4 **Irrecoverable VAT** 

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

## 4.5 **Creditors** 

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. 

## 4.6 **Provisions for liabilities** 

A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. 

## 5 **Assets** 

## 5.1 **Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity** 

Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:
