AMBITION LAWRENCE WESTON

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Structure, Governance and Management

The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 14[th] August 2012, registered under the Companies Act (registration number 08179331) and its governing document is a Memorandum of Articles of Association. It was granted a charitable status on 31[st] May 2013 by the Charity Commission under registration number 1152237.

At present the charity is over seen by 11 trustees, with a majority of these being local residents. We recruit new trustees as and when the charity’s needs and demands require. We do this through advertising in our local newsletter, via our social media platforms and website, and though third party VCS organisations, such as “Voscur” and “Locality”, and via our city wide business links. We then interview candidates to ensure they hold the correct skills, knowledge and experience to bring value to the board and the charity’s overall aims.

Trustees

Ambition Lawrence Weston is an incorporated charity and therefore the Directors of the Company are also the Charity Trustees for the purposes of charity law. The trustees are listed on page 1.

Board meetings are held one every six weeks.

Policies

The trustees have agreed policies covering the following areas:

AMBITION LAWRENCE WESTON

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Objectives

The promotion of urban regeneration in areas of social and economic deprivation for public benefit, and in particular in the area of Lawrence Weston and the surrounding neighbourhoods in the City of Bristol, by all or any of the following means; (i) the relief of poverty and financial hardship (ii) the maintenance improvement of provision of public amenities (iii) the protection or conservation of the environment (iv) the promotion of public safety and the prevention of crime (v) the creation of training and employment opportunities by the provision of workspace, buildings, and/or land for use on favourable terms (vi) the provision of public health facilities and childcare and the promotion of health of local inhabitants for the public benefit.

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)’.

Activities and achievements

The twelve months since its last report and financial statements has seen a need to partly revert to our original intended Pre covid service delivery following the easing of the National covid related lockdown, and the change of services forced upon us as a result.

This relates to recommencement of some face to face delivery, group activities and other works.

Delivery

There have been two major events :

There has been a continuation in resident pandemic support that including:

In addition to the above Pandemic response activities, we have also:

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Financial review

The result for the period is a surplus of £93,797 against a deficit of £29,259 in the prior year. The principal reason for this being a delayed payment in the prior year, from Local Trust for the delivery of the Big Local Programme.

Reserves

In order to maintain effective operations of the organisation the Board has agreed to maintain a financial reserve of 3 months operating costs which equates to approx. £40,000.

This level of reserve would allow staff to continue working to secure new funding and if necessary to allow a period of time to cut services in a way whereby service users are supported to move on. The Board has agreed that a period of 6 months reserve should be the longer term aim. This is an amount it considers prudent in the event of a major business interruption as determined by an analysis of risks to the charity.

At the year-end total reserves amount to £477,801 compromising of £83,363 unrestricted free reserves, and restricted funds of £394,438. The current level of free reserves is higher than the anticipated amount £40,000. The trustees review the current financial position and the level of reserves at each Board meeting. If it appears that the level of reserves is moving in a direction that could mean that meeting the policy is at risk, appropriate corrective actions will be considered. This ensures that such actions will be taken on a timely basis.

Going concern

The Board has no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1 Accounting policies

Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.

The charity is a public benefit entity as defined under FRS102.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties affecting the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern.

Income

Income from donations is included in income when these are receivable, except as follows:

I. When donors specify that donations given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods;

II. When donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred until the pre-conditions have been met.

Legacies are included on a receivable basis where charity is entitled to the income, it can be measured reliably and receipt is probable. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is not included in income but is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Investment income is included on a receivable basis.

Donations in kind comprise donated services where the costs are measurable and the services would otherwise have to be paid for to maintain operational effectiveness.

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.

Charitable Activities

Grants awarded are allocated to charitable activities.

Grants awarded are treated as expenditure and a liability in the accounts as soon as they become legal or constructive obligations. In the case of multi-year grant awards, the funding for all years is immediately recognised unless there are conditions which need to be met by the recipient to enable the release of subsequent years’ funding.

Governance costs

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity. Governance costs are included within support costs.

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 .

11

AMBITION LAWRENCE WESTON

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

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 statements 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 payment 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.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Designated funds form part of unrestricted funds and have been identified as being for particular purposes by the Trustees. They are not restricted and can be transferred to general funds at any time at the discretion of the Trustees.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in notes to the financial statements.
