THE PRINCES RISBOROUGH CENTRE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 08021841) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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
Objectives and aims
The Princes Risborough Centre Limited, operating as The Princes Centre, is a social enterprise, originally funded and run by the people of Princes Risborough and the surrounding areas for the benefit of everybody in the local community. Our charitable object is to relieve the needs of the elderly and people with physical disability, learning disability or mental health issues, and their families and carers, in particular but not exclusively by the provision of day care facilities. At the Centre we place great emphasis on dignity and integrity in dealing with all our clients, taking a personal, client-centred approach in planning and organising the care provided.
The Princes Centre provides much needed respite for carers and an inspirational environment for frail elderly people, and those living with disabilities, who are looking to make new friends and want to continue learning and living a fulfilling life. The Centre offers a range of engaging activities, outings and entertainment from arts and crafts classes to swimming, gardening, dancing or simply relaxing with friends over a game of dominoes or scrabble.
Alongside activities at the Centre, the emphasis is on being a visible part of the local community and as such some activities are held away from the Centre at appropriate locations, for example taking the book club to the library, or ice cream tasting at the farm that produces the ice cream. We offer specific skill enhancement courses such as independent living or teaching people to use public transport, and we provide active support for those people who require personal care or other assistance.
These services are provided at two locations; the original site in Princes Risborough and the second site that we lease in Bourne End, acquired following a request from the Buckinghamshire County Council (as then was) in 2018. Both sites are regarded as an integral part of the whole charity and not as separate subsidiaries.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
THE PRINCES RISBOROUGH CENTRE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 08021841)
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Volunteers
The charity relies heavily on the Trustees who give up their time voluntarily, the dedicated staff and volunteers who run the day to day support to the clients, and the donors, both individual and corporate, from the surrounding communities who offer tremendous support to the Charity and all of its work.The loss of one Trustee last year gave us the opportunity to evaluate the mix of skills and experience of our Trustees to ensure that the Board would be better equipped to meet the demands of an expanding organisation.
STRATEGIC REPORT
Financial position
As a social enterprise, the Charity aims to ensure that our income will provide adequate financial stability and the means for it to meet its charitable objectives for the foreseeable future. The Centre's charitable object focuses on the provision of day care facilities, and the reserves must be maintained at a level sufficient to sustain that object in the event of any reduction in trading income. That income is almost entirely generated from client fees, and is susceptible to a number of external factors such as government and local authority policies on the funding of social care, the frailty and age of the client base, and changes in accreditation requirements. At 31 March 2024 total funds held by the charity were £2,399,428 (2023: £1,487,122 of which £309,733 (2023: £326,489) were restricted funds.
Investment policy and objectives
In recent years the charity has made a small, but increasing, surplus on its trading activities. This, combined with the occasional gift through legacy donations, has led us to consider investing funds to allow for essential capital projects, in accordance with our status as a social enterprise. This became a more urgent matter when we received an extremely generous legacy donation following the death of a Princes Risborough resident who had been a consistent supporter of the Princes Centre since it had been taken on by the local community in 2012. The trustees have developed an investment policy to ensure that they are in a position to exercise proper management and supervision of these funds. A key element of this policy has been the successful establishment of an investment sub-committee of the Board of Trustees to provide routine monitoring of investment performance and advice on proposals for the use of income generated by such investment.
Reserves policy
The Trustees' intention has been to maintain the charity's reserves at a level at least equivalent to six months operational expenditure having regard to the above factors. Following our experience during the period of lockdown and the slow reopening of services, the Board reviewed this policy and agreed that it would be prudent to maintain future reserves at the equivalent of 12 months operating expenditure. This allows sufficient time for the Charity either to explore and introduce alternative funding streams or, in extremis, to make satisfactory alternative arrangements for the continuing care of its clients.
The Trustees review the level of reserves on a quarterly basis to ensure that the fund is being maintained at least in accordance with the policy. This policy is reviewed each year, and appropriate levels of reserves established, following completion of the annual accounts. It has now been agreed that the Charity needs to build up its capital reserves to enable it to plan for significant future expenditure on capital projects, such as major building works and improvements to the transport fleet, with a particular view to evolving into a carbon neutral business These resources are being built up through a combination of fundraising, donations, grants and trading surplus funds as can be seen in the financial statements.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
The charity is controlled by its governing documents, a Memorandum and Articles of Association and a deed of trust, and constitutes a charitable company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. The liability of trustees in the event of the charity being wound up is limited to £10 each.
Trustees are responsible for the policy setting and strategic direction of the charity and the staff are responsible for the day to day management of the charity. In addition to a "Trustee member" the charity has a second category of member, the "Ordinary member" who are invited to become members by the Board of Trustees and whose names are listed in a register held in the charity's offices.
Trustees who served during the year are listed below, and a recently completed audit will allow us to ensure that the appointment of a successor will be dependent, inter alia, on the outcome of that audit. The trustees are responsible for proposing and seconding suitable candidates to be considered by ballot for appointment as a trustee.
Induction and training of new trustees
All trustees are given a detailed introduction to the Company by the Centre Manager before their names are put forward to the Board for possible appointment as a Trustee. Following such appointment, they are offered a tailor-made training programme, based on their trustee role and their previous experience, with ongoing mentoring being provided as required by experienced trustees. The initial training is provided by an external agency, currently Community Impact Bucks.
Key management remuneration
The Trustees agree on the level of annual pay increase, based broadly on the overall performance of the charitable company, and by comparison where possible with similar organisations within the social care sector. The Trustees are developing new KPIs for the Centre Manager, on which future remuneration will be based, that will flow from the plan to expand client sessions in a controlled and sustainable way over the next five years.
Related parties
The Company's five year plan allows for closer integration with the local branches of relevant charities, as well as the primary health and social care organisations, to ensure the earliest possible identification of those most in need of the services that the Company can provide.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE PRINCES RISBOROUGH CENTRE LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Princes Risborough Centre Limited (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. 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).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Docusign Envelope ID: 014FD939-3961-4F86-933B-8C22D222AA1A
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE PRINCES RISBOROUGH CENTRE LIMITED
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:
-
the nature of the sector, control environment and charity performance;
-
results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities;
-
any matters we identified having made enquiries of management about their policies and procedures relating to:
-
identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of noncompliance;
-
detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
-
the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations; - the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charity for fraud. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the charity operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Charities Act and local tax legislation.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE PRINCES RISBOROUGH CENTRE LIMITED
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the charity's ability to operate.
Audit response to risks identified
As a result of performing the above, our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:
-
reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
-
enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;
-
performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
-
held discussions with management to understand the basis of recognition or non-recognition of provisions; and
-
in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the charity's normal activities.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.
Other matters which we are required to address
The financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023, forming the corresponding figures of the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024, are unaudited as the directors claimed exemption from audit under section 477 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The trustees have assessed expected future cashflows, giving due consideration to all relevant factors affecting the charity. The trustees have considered the potential impact on the charity as well as its capital resources and believe that the charity has adequate resources in place to continue in operation for at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Consequently, the charity continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements. If in the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based on the management's best judgment at the date of the financial statements, deviate from the actual circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified as appropriate in the year in which the circumstances change.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Allocation and apportionment of costs
Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.
Salaries have been apportioned in accordance with the duties to which they relate.
