## **THE ASSOCIATION OF WOODTURNERS OF GREAT BRITAIN**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**_
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 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 2019).
## **Objectives and activities**
The charity's objects are to promote the craft of woodturning for the public benefit and in doing so raise appreciation of the creativity, skill and heritage of woodturning, and to advance the education of the public in the craft and skill of woodturning.
1. To foster a greater awareness, nationally and internationally, of the woodturners (turners) art and craft.
2. To provide a forum to encourage communication and an exchange of views amongst woodturners of all nations.
3. To make collectors, galleries, architects, suppliers and manufacturers of turners’ equipment and other interested parties aware of the turners’ work and turners’ needs.
4. To encourage and participate in the development of training standards and educational facilities for turning.
5. To act as the body representative for the interest of turners nationally and internationally.
6. To provide a members’ newsletter at regular intervals.
7. To arrange national and international seminars and exhibitions that encourage all to aim for, and achieve, high quality turnery.
8. To act as the National Body to advise and communicate with publications and other parts of the media to foster a greater public awareness of the turners’ art and craft.
9. To communicate with government and similar bodies relevant to the arts and crafts movements.
10. To encourage the formation of local area woodturning branches and clubs by providing advice and practical assistance.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
The charity provides a range of training courses on all aspects of woodturning including training for young people (under 22). These activities promote the art and craft of woodturning to a wide range of individuals, many of whom do not have access to a lathe at their normal place of education.
The charity operates a discretionary grant scheme through which we are able to provide courses, equipment to both individuals, branches and clubs who can demonstrate a need. This is mainly administered under the Roger Stewart Fund but approval may also be given for applications which do not fall under the Roger Stewart fund.
Many charity members actively demonstrate woodturning to the public either individually or as part of their own branch and club activities. As well as providing support and guidance to our members, either individually or within their branch or club we provide grants to branches that organise specific events that demonstrate woodturning to the public. These event grants are available to Branches and Clubs annually and up to £3,000 is allocated for this purpose. Branches may apply for a grant up to £300 and Clubs up to £150.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**_
## **Achievements and performance**
2022 has been a year when our normal activities have increased as the Covid19 restrictions were lifted.
- The training programme is back up to strength and a full programme in planned for 2023
- We started to be represented at the shows attending the Harrogate event.
- We finally managed to run the much delayed Seminar successfully, which was well attended.
To as a result Covid19 restrictions we have maintained the following activities
- to conduct trustee meetings online.
- the series of twice weekly online meeting to enable woodturners to socialise and participate in discussions
## **Financial review**
The Covid restriction had caused a drop in Membership and efforts were made to address this with increased training activity and presence at the Harrogate show. Together with the sponsorship of the seminar the charity has made a loss and the reserves have been reduced. It was hoped that a digital version of Revolutions would provide some savings but none have been realised to date.
The charity maintains its informal policy that the Main Fund should not fall below £20,000.
Our total reserves are: £63,807 Of which: Main Funds £62,429 Restricted Funds £1,378
In line with best practice, the policy will be reviewed annually.
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for the authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charity. These procedures will be periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity. The Directors have conducted their own review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and where appropriate have established systems to mitigate those risks.
To facilitate the smooth running of the charity the Trustees have implemented an approval policy as follows:
- Expenditure up to £500 approved by the Treasurer (except for the Treasurer's expenses which are authorised by another Director).
- Over £500 and up to £1,000 approval by the Treasurer and one other of the Chair, Vice Chair or Secretary
- Over £1,000 by a majority vote of the Executive.
- The treasurer is also pre-authorised to make payments in excess of the above limits for specific costs covering:
Revolutions printing and postage costs – approved by the Editor Annual Insurance Payments
Accountancy Fees
Training Costs – approved by Development and Training Officer

## **THE ASSOCIATION OF WOODTURNERS OF GREAT BRITAIN**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**_
The trustees, who are also the directors of The Association of Woodturners of Great Britain for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law 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, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company 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 in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time 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 for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE ASSOCIATION OF WOODTURNERS OF GREAT BRITAIN**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Association of Woodturners of Great Britain (the charity) for the year ended 31 December 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
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 that in any material respect:
- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the financial statements 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 financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

**THE ASSOCIATION OF WOODTURNERS OF GREAT BRITAIN**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Charity information**
The Association of Woodturners of Great Britain is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 36 Crown Rise, Watford, Hertfordshire, WD25 0NE.
## **1.1 Accounting convention**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
## **1.2 Going concern**
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
## **1.3 Charitable funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
## **1.4 Income**
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the receipt of Gift Aid income from HMRC.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **(Continued)**
## **1.5 Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Charitable expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis and disclosed in accordance with normal accounting practice. Expenditure is allocated to each activity in accordance with the nature of the expenditure.
All support and governance costs are apportioned on a specific cost basis, followed by a usage basis for any remaining unallocated expenditure.
## **1.6 Fixed asset investments**
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charity. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
## **1.7 Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
## **1.8 Financial instruments**
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
## _**Basic financial assets**_
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **(Continued)**
## _**Basic financial liabilities**_
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements**
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
