The Guild for Lifelong Learning Limited
Principal's report for the year ended 31 August 2021
The academic year 2020/21 was the one of the most challenging the charity’s 95 years of existence. I am delighted to report that the charity has continued to meet its objects by providing an inclusive and broad curriculum of liberal lifelong learning. However, It was a difficult year for the charity because of the pandemic. There was new additional legislation and statutory guidance which restricted when and how the charity could deliver its services. The most significant additional rules that had a direct impact on the charity’s finances were those ceasing face-to-face activities; and, when face-to-face teaching was permitted, the restrictions on class sizes, classroom layouts and the additional hygiene / health & safety measures.
The academic year started with the Guild offering distance learning and online teaching in addition to normal face-to-face activities. Enrolment on all activities was considerably lower than previous years due to a variety of reasons caused by the pandemic; these included: reluctance to participate in face-to-face-activities and insufficient access to digital resources to allow participation in online activities. In accordance with government instructions the Guild ceased delivery of face-to-face activities from January through to March; and resumed after the Easter break. The delivery of online and distance learning activities continued as planned and ran through the summer break where there was sufficient demand from participants.
There were two significant projects planned for the year that were ongoing from the previous year: refurbishment of the ground floor at 1 Bourne Street to create a community hub, café and arts space; and the commissioning of a new website for the charity.
The building work to create the community hub, café and art space commenced in April and was completed in August. The work progressed slower than planned due to the pandemic which had caused a shortage of labour and materials. We are very grateful for the financial support towards the project; with £20,000 received from Cheshire East Council New Homes Bonus Fund and £15,000 pledged by the Garfield Weston Foundation.
The launch of a new website was postponed from 2020 until June 2021 to coincide with the launch of courses and activities commencing September 2021. The administrative functions of the website came online in April 2021 so that the staff and volunteers were able to familiarise themselves with the new CRM system and ensure that the data was correct.
This year, as in previous years, the educational and administrative staff teams have provided exceptional support to me and each other; their hard work and dedication to ensure that the Guild continued to function during the pandemic went well beyond reasonable expectations. It must also be noted that our achievements were only possible due to the support and commitment of our team of volunteers whose effort and enthusiasm is greatly appreciated.

Trustees’ report for the year ended 31 August 2021
The Trustees present their annual report and accounts for the year ending 31 August 2021 which have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Acts 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and reporting by Charities) 2015 as amended 2016.
Background to The Guild for Lifelong Learning
In 1922 the Wilmslow Educational Society (WES) working in conjunction with the Workers Educational Association (WEA) organised their first series of lectures and in subsequent years the Religious Society of Friends kindly loaned their school room to the WES for some courses and the performance of plays. In the Spring of 1926, it was decided to form a new organisation which was separate from the WEA, it would be called the “Beacon Guild” and be based at Bourne Street. The new organisation published its first syllabus for the season 1926-27 and it grew steadily from its inception with the support of Wilmslow Society of Friends, Cheshire County Council and the Ministry of Education. The name of the charity changed to Wilmslow Beacon Guild in 1939 and to Wilmslow Guild in 1940. On 30 April 1963 the Guild was registered as a charity in accordance the Charities Act because this was a condition for funding by the Ministry of Education.
The Guild, an unincorporated charity, continued to grow in both its provision and number of participants. In 2012 the Trustees decided, due to the size of the organisation, to change the legal status of the charity to an incorporated charity. Throughout the charity’s existence its purpose has remained the same: to provide a centre in which men and women may find opportunities for enrichment of life through education, fellowship and co-operative effort for the welfare of the community.
A resolution was passed on 5 January 2021 to change the name of the charity to The Guild for Lifelong Learning to provide a better explanation of the purpose of the charity; and to remove the geographical link to Wilmslow because the charity operates from community venues throughout East Cheshire and South Manchester.
Organisational Structure
The Trustees are responsible for policy matters and the overall direction of the charity and have absolute discretion in applying its funds for the furtherance of the objects of the charity. The Board reviews all of the policies of the Guild on a cyclical basis. None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the charity, nor receives any remuneration, other than the Principal who is an ex-officio trustee. Each Trustee guarantees to contribute £1 in the event of winding up.
The Board of Trustees meets six times a year for ordinary meetings in addition to the annual general meeting. The Board of Trustees may also invite other individuals as appointed to advise and report, but only the Trustees have voting rights.
The Finance Committee, which reports to the board, meets prior to the board meetings to review: budgets, investments, financial performance and controls, the financial implications of any special initiatives, risk management and to finalise the audited accounts and annual report for the approval of the Board of Trustees. Remuneration for all staff is reviewed and agreed annually by the Remuneration Committee, advised by the Principal.
The Board of Trustees delegate responsibility for all operational matters of the charity to the Principal. The trustees are very grateful to the Principal, her hard work and dedication had been exceptional; she ensured the charity continued to operate throughout the year delivering its services to maintain social cohesion and reduce social isolation.
Recruitment, election and training of trustees
The power of appointing successor or additional trustees is vested in the Members of the charitable company, the majority of whom are trustees of the charity. The memorandum and articles of association state that there must be at least three and no more than twelve trustees. One third of the trustees must retire at each Annual General Meeting; retiring Trustees are eligible for re-appointment.
Trustees are selected on the basis of their specialist skills and knowledge that is relevant to the Guild.
New trustee induction is undertaken on a one-to-one basis when they are elected. They are briefed on their legal obligations under charity and company law, the content of the memorandum and articles of association, the charity structure and decision-making processes, recent activities and financial performance and plans. There is formal training for trustees as required.
Risk management
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied with the systems and procedures that are in place to manage and mitigate these.
4
Detailed consideration of risks is delegated to the Finance Committee, assisted by the Principal. A formal review of The Guild’s risk management processes and the risk register is undertaken as part of the cyclical policy review undertaken by the Board of Trustees.
Strategic Review
Summary of The Guild for Lifelong Learning's objectives
The memorandum and articles of association set out how the income and property of the charity are to be used to advance the charitable purpose.
The objects of the charity are:
(a) to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Wilmslow and the neighbourhood together defined by the areas known as Wilmslow and Handforth and the civil parishes of Alderley Edge, Chorley and Mottram St. Andrew, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or political, religious or other opinions, by associating together the said inhabitants and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure-time occupation with the object of improving conditions of life for the said inhabitants;
(b) to establish, or secure the establishment of a community centre and to maintain and manage the same (whether alone or in co-operation with any local authority or other person or body) in furtherance of these objects; and
(c) to promote such other purposes that are charitable according to the laws of England and Wales and for the benefit of the public as may from time to time be determined by the Trustees.
A set of “Values and Aims” have now been established to compliment the “Vision and Mission” statements.
A Development and Strategic Plan was written in 2018 which sets out organisational objectives from implementation up to 2021, the plan was implemented to deliver the objects of the charity. The plan is a living document and is reviewed and revised on a cyclical basis to ensure that the objectives remain SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-based).
Summary of the main achievements during the year
The 2020/21 academic year marked the 95th anniversary of the founding of Wilmslow Guild and the programme has continued to develop with a greater and more diverse curriculum than in previous years.
During the 2020/21 academic and financial year the Guild:
-
expended more than £475,000 in the day-to-day cost of providing education and leisure-time occupations
-
completed the new community hub, café and arts space project
-
completed the new IT infrastructure project (website and customer relationship management systems)
-
continued its long-term partnership with Cheshire East Carers Hub
-
continued its long-term partnership with Time Out charity
-
continued its long-term partnership with Cheshire East Council
Fundraising
The charity has engaged in small scale and one-off fundraising activities since its inception. Provision of activities has expanded in recent years and this has caused the charity to seek more funding to enable it to deliver its objectives. The charity now raises funds from a broader spectrum of sources; from large grant awarding bodies to small scale giving by individuals.
The Fundraising and Development Officer resigned in November 2020 and the post was left unfilled as a cost-saving measure during the period of uncertainty caused by the pandemic with the intention of reviewing staffing once the admin function of the charity returns to normal practices.
The charity has undertaken a number of income-generating activities which subsidise the cost of the educational programme. These activities alone do not generate sufficient funds to sustain the charity’s programme. As such, the charity is indebted to the generous individuals and organisations who provide donations and grants to support work in the furtherance of its charitable objectives.
5
Role of volunteers
The Guild is supported by approximately 100 volunteers who assist with the administration of the charity; the running of the groups, clubs and societies; the maintenance of 1 Bourne Street; the marketing of the charity; fundraising for the charity and exhibitions of the students’ Art and Craft work.
Public benefit
In setting their objectives and planning their activities the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and specific guidance on the advancement of education for public benefit.
Subsidies are applied to all the charity’s activities. The purpose of the entire programme of activities is the advancement of education in conjunction with the maintenance and improvement of health and wellbeing. No students are excluded due to financial circumstances; concessions and waivers are granted for students in financial need.
Financial review
The charity's financial position at the end of the year ended 31 August 2021
The financial position of the charity at 31 August 2021 and comparatives for the prior period, as more fully detailed in the accounts, can be summarised as follows:-
| Net income/(expenditure) Unrestricted Revenue Funds available for the general purposes of the charity Designated Revenue Funds Total Unrestricted Funds Restricted Revenue Funds Total Funds |
2021 2020 £ £ (64,089) 3,844 |
|---|---|
(41,501) 22,588 470,000 470,000 |
|
| 428,499 492,588 |
|
| 19,957 19,957 |
|
| 448,456 512,545 |
Financial review of the position at the reporting date, 31 August 2021.
Total income of £327,530 was generated with the bulk of this (£299,631) by way of fees from members participating in the Guild's programme of courses and activities, the direct cost of which was £336,964. After overheads (including 'Governance' £2,520), total costs were £391619 resulting in an overall deficit of £64.089. The building work on the Cafe, totalling £98,188 was capitalised and is being depreciated over the life of the lease.
The Trustees took the decision to keep the funds at their 2020 levels: Strategic Reserve at £80,000; Land and Building Fund £340,000; and Building Repair Fund £50,000.
Availability and adequacy of assets of each of the funds
The board of trustees is satisfied that the charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund.
Investment policy and investment objectives.
Under the memorandum and articles of association, the charity has the power to invest in any way that the trustees see fit, providing that such powers of investment are only exercised for the purpose of attaining the objects of the charity and in a manner that is legally charitable. The current investment objective is to maximise income yield while maintaining the value of capital in real terms.
The Finance Committee monitors performance and reports to the Board of Trustees on a regular basis. Members of the Finance Committee have background experience and knowledge of finance. An independent investment advisor assists the Trustees when necessary.
6
The major risks to which the Charity is exposed and reviews and systems to mitigate them.
The tenure of premises for the charity to deliver its programme of activities is considered to be a risk. The lease on 1 Bourne Street, the primary site for delivery of the programme, will expire in 2062. The Trustees have decided that the acquisition of permanent premises for the charity to deliver its charitable purpose is a key strategic objective to ensure the future of the charity. The building at 1 Bourne Street is a modular system built timber framed construction dating from 1962. It was constructed in accordance with the lease and is currently considered practical and economic to maintain in accordance with the lease for the remainder of the term. The building, whilst fit for purpose, will require ongoing maintenance and repair as well as internal remodelling to ensure that it functions well for the delivery of the charity's objectives.
Plans For the Future
The trustees of The Guild have a clear plan for the future of the charity. However, the timing of the implementation of the plan is subject to the circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The trustees intend to steadily expand the provision of activities offered by the charity to deliver its objects during the next five years. This will be achieved by working in partnership with other charities, Cheshire East Council and the Department for Education. It is the trustees intention to increasing the number of courses, clubs and societies delivered; and to offer this expanded provision in a way that is accessible to a larger proportion of the adult population. There will be an expansion of face-to-face learning in the East Cheshire and South Manchester areas as and when community venues become available. There will also be an increase in the number of distance learning/online courses.
Disclosure of information to the independent examiner
All of the Trustees have confirmed that there is no information of which they are aware which is relevant to the independent examination, but of which the independent examiner is unaware. All Trustees have further confirmed that they have taken appropriate steps to identify such relevant information and to establish that the independent examiner is aware of such information.
Statement of the Directors Trustees' Responsibilities
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Notwithstanding the explicit requirement in the extant statutory regulations,the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the SORP 2005, in view of the fact that the SORP 2005 has been withdrawn, the Trustees determined to interpret this responsibility as requiring them to follow current best practice and prepare the accounts according to the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accoun�ng periods beginning on or a�er 1st January 2019), (The SORP).
In particular, the Companies Act 2006 and charity law require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to :-
-
to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
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 business;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
The law requires that the trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for the year.
The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. 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.

Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of The Guild for Lifelong Learning on the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2021
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity on pages 1 to 30 for the year ended 31 August 2021.
Responsibilities and the basis of the report
As described on page 7, you, the Charity's Trustees (and also its directors for the purposes of company law), 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 your charity's financial statements as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent Examiner's Statement
Since the Charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by with Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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.
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.

Policies relating to assets, liabilities and provisions and other matters.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at their original cost value, or subsequent revaluation, less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets to their anticipated residual value over their estimated useful lives.
Leasehold premises Straight line over life of lease Plant and machinery Straight line over 3 years Fixtures, fittings and equipment 20 % reducing balance
Only items over £1,000 with a resale value are now capitalised.
Debtors
Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.
Creditors and provisions
Creditors are measured at their payable amounts at the balance sheet date.
Financial instruments including cash and bank balances
Cash held by the charity is included at the amount actually held and counted at the year end. Bank balances, whether in credit or overdrawn, are shown at the amounts properly reconciled to the bank statements.
Leasing and hire purchase contracts and commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to income on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Pensions - defined contribution schemes
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal or as implied by law.
There are no endowment funds.
- 2 Liability to taxation
The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity
If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.
