TRUSTEES REPORT

Objectives
The company’s objective is the promotion of urban regeneration in the Lawrence Weston area in the City of Bristol.
Public benefit
In shaping the objectives for the year and planning activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
Trustees’ statement
The company was registered on 14th August 2012.
It was established to provide Lawrence Weston with a body to actively promote its regeneration and to act as a co-ordinating body for other voluntary organisations with the same objective.
The twelve months since its last report and financial statements has seen a need to change our intended service delivery due to the impact caused by the pandemic.
The main changes have been the suspension of all group and face to face activities and other works.
Our activities for the year have mainly been focused on delivering resident pandemic support that has included:
-
Delivering a shopping service to residents that were vulnerable or needing to home isolate.
-
Pick up and drop off of resident’s medical prescriptions.
-
Support resident volunteers to fundraise and deliver food parcels to the most vulnerable.
-
To manage and be accountable for various private companies, local authority and government grants to deliver financial support to vulnerable residents
-
Supported the delivery of over 800 food parcels.
-
Acting as a Community Hub for the local authorities Covid response programme.
In addition to the above Pandemic response activities, we have also:
-
Continued to progress our Community Led Housing project. Planning application decision due in November 2021
-
Continued to progress our Community Owned Wind Turbine project
-
Continued to re design and secure funding for a new stand-alone Community Hub
-
Delivered Holiday Hunger/family trips scheme
-
Commissioned several contracts and consultants with the relevant skills and experience to support us in our work.
-
Continued to manage the £1 million of funding from the Big Local Lottery Trust.

TRUSTEES REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
_____________
-
Continued to produce and maintain our own website www.ambitionlw.org and social media profiles.
-
Raised additional funding for various projects/work.
-
Facilitated the ALW Network Group, a meeting that brings all service providers together to inform them of our resident’s needs and wants and facilitate a joined up approach to service delivery.
-
Continue to Influence many developments through the facilitation of the Lawrence Weston Planning forum via the Lawrence Weston Neighbourhood development Plan
Financial review
The result for the period is a surplus of £61,800. (2019: deficit of £67,295)
Reserves
Total reserves are £413,263 comprising unrestricted funds of £58,184 and restricted funds of £355,079.
Going Concern
Prior to these account’s being signed off by our Board of Trustees, we have been affected by the Covid 19 pandemic. As a result, the charity, following conversations and agreements with funders, stakeholders, and local residents has needed to change its operating procedures and activities. The charity is now delivering Covid 19 support to our beneficiaries/ residents and some other deliveries have now temporarily ceased.
The Covid 19 restrictions have had a negative impact on the charity’s trading income generated from building space and room hire. However:
-
We have secured income from grants from charities, trusts and businesses; and
-
Our overheads, salaries and other operating costs are already secured from external grant funding.
As such we envisage no significant financial impact from Covid 19. None of our assets have or will be significantly adversely affected, and therefore the trustees state that there is no material uncertainty about the charity’s ability to continue for the foreseeable future.
Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
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. The Trustee is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The above report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small company’s regime as set out in Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
_____________
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Ambition Lawrence Weston for the year ended 31 December 2020 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Summary Income and Expenditure Account, the Balance Sheet, and the related notes.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees (and also directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts 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 accounts 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
As 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 Association of Accounting Technicians (MAAT).
I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the 2006 Act ; or • the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements under 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 accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (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 accounts to be reached.

AMBITION LAWRENCE WESTON NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Expenditure
Recognition of expenditure Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. Expenditure on raising funds These comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income, fundraising trading costs and investment management costs. Expenditure on charitable activities These comprise the costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services in the furtherance of its objects, including the making of grants and governance costs. Grants payable All grant expenditure is accounted for on an actual paid basis plus an accrual for grants that have been approved by the trustees at the end of the year but not yet paid. Governance costs These include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including any audit/independent examination fees, costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity, together with a share of other administration costs. Other expenditure These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Trade and other 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 and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities.
Trade and other creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other 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.
Pension costs
The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.
Financial Instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

The Can Do Bristol grant was returned in the year.
The BYCA fund is in deficit as a result of service delivery we carried out around family activities and trips to be paid for by a third party organisation. This organisation and all its staff were furloughed due to Covid 19. As a result no transaction or payments were able to be made in this year by them. These outstanding payments were received in 2021.
