All trustees are provided with information regarding their responsibilities and participate in bi-monthly meetings to consider the development and progress of the charity and agree future priorities.

Day to day management is delegated to the CEO Ruth Fox who is responsible for operational matters including the work programme, ongoing financial management, safeguarding and human resource matters.

Achievements and performance

Chair's Report

This year has seen Footprints in the Community continue the vital work it undertakes in our community, and develop its work even further. As always - I'm saddened by the level of need for our many projects, but grateful that we are able to fill the gap in so many lives and give people hope for their future.

We are happy to report that for the first time since we started Redcar Area Foodbank in 2013, we have seen a reduction in those people needing our services - however - in this financial year we fed 8,054 individuals through our foodbank project (182 less than the previous year). This could well be due to the provision of Citizens Advice workers working within each of our foodbank centres. During the year they brought in over £1million in financial gains for our clients.

During the same period we supported 442 different people through our Next Step Shops - with a total of 6,790 attendances during the year.

The Shed has continued to grow and has been a lifeline to many people - friendships have been formed, and people's mental health and general wellbeing has improved.

Reflections Dementia Support group which meets at our community cafe on a Monday morning has also continued to provide a much-valued service, supporting those people living with dementia. One member of the group recently told us "Attending the Dementia group has made a huge difference in my life. It's not just the activities that help keep my mind active but also the time spent talking with others. I've made friends here and the conversations mean a lot to me. It gives me a sense of community and belonging that I would miss otherwise. Being part of this group has given me more confidence and I look forward to every session. Without this group I would feel much more isolated. I'm very grateful for everything it has brought into my life."

A big decision had to be made regarding our Community Cafe when South Tees Community Bank decided to pull out of the lease on the building which we sublet space from. We subsequently took over the full lease and will expand the cafe over the coming year. The cafe was the first project of Footprints in the Community so is very special.

Our Community Wellbeing Project, part of the Community Mental Health Transformation Programme, has progressed with excellent partnerships with other local organisations and we are confident that this will continue to support those people experiencing poor mental health.

We have appointed a new staff member to head up our four children and families projects - Lunch Box, First Steps, Book Club and Bridging the Gap. We look forward to seeing these develop further over the coming months.

As the charity continues to grow, The Trustees have developed also and I thank them all for their continued dedication and support to the charity. The staff team has also grown and office space is becoming a premium! Thank you for all your hard work. As always, we give a big shout out to the wonderful volunteers, without who, we really couldn't do the work we do in supporting people living in Redcar and Cleveland to help reduce poverty and isolation and improve health and wellbeing.

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 31 July 2024

Financial review

On 31 July 2024 Footprints In The Community held unrestricted reserves of £256,736 (2023 - £271,342). The free reserves of the charity i.e. those not tied up with fixed assets amount and designated funds amount to £113,568; (2023 - £127,682).

Reserves of this order are vital to ensure that the charity has the capacity to find alternative funding, support and/or meet all outstanding obligations and when funding is paid in arrears pending defrayment of expenditure, settlement of such costs can range from 1 to 3 months before payment is received.

The designated funds represent:

	2024	2023
		£
Cafe Working Capital	11,001	14,441
Redundancy & contractural obligations fund	100,693	100,693
Mercers fund	1,856	4,551
Cafe Rent	9,167	–

Reserves Policy

The trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds, not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets, held by the charity, should be not more than 6 months of the resources expended. At this level the trustees feel that they would be able to continue the current activities in the event of a significant drop in funding. It would obviously be necessary to consider how the funding would be replaced or activities changed.

Risk Review

The board of trustees have reviewed the major risks, to which the charity is exposed and continue to monitor the arrangements and systems in place to mitigate those risks.

The trustees' annual report was approved on 15 April 2025 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

Stephen Duffield Trustee

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Footprints In The Community

Year ended 31 July 2024

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Footprints In The Community ('the charity') for the year ended 31 July 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 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 Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 130 of the Act; or

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 July 2024

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is 10 Queens Street, Redcar, TS10 1DY.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Footprints In The Community

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 July 2024

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

• income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.

• legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.

• income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.

• income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

• expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.

• expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.

• other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Footprints In The Community

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 July 2024

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets (continued)

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Fixtures and fittings	-	25% straight line
Motor vehicles	-	25% straight line
Equipment	-	25% straight line

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Stocks

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.

Finance leases and hire purchase contracts

Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are recognised in the statement of financial position as assets and liabilities at the lower of the fair value of the assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments, which is determined at the inception of the lease term. Any initial direct costs of the lease are added to the amount recognised as an asset.

Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the outstanding lease liability using the effective interest method. Finance charges are allocated to each period so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
