Impact The Isle of Sheppey is located off the northern coast of Kent, made up of six main electoral wards and covers an area of 36 square miles. Sh8ppey suffers from a high proportion of deprivation and isolation along with lack of emplo￿nent opportunities, community facilities, insufficient infrastructure with a rather sporadic public transport system. It is estimated around 230kn of Sheppey's population is over 65, with around 30/0 being over 85 and is a popular retirement location. The number of people reaching out to Age UK Sheppey increases year on year with demand on our services becoming more and fflore stretched due to restrictive funding available. With such a vast area to cover across Sheppey along with quite often feeling like a closed off community from the mainland, it is apparent how our services are critical to local residents. We are told on a regular basis how we provide a much-needed lifeline, not only direct to service users, but also their families and friends too. With our team being readily available. we are able to help relieve tension and worry by providing a 'one stop shop, empowering older people and providing them with the tools and skills to live independently for longer.Without our core services on offer and the social opportunities we provide, we have no doubl many older people living on Sheppey would quickly feel lonely and isolated stuck indoors with limited or, in some cases, nowhere suitable for them to go. Our clubs provide a day filled with fun, laughter, activities and companionship, which is known to help with mental and physical health as well as their wellbeing meaning fewer people needing access to and putting an ever- increasing strain on local authority services.

Aga UK Sheppey Trustees. report (contlnued) For the year ended 31 March 2024 Achlevements and performance (contlnued) Volunteerlng - We have seen a slow increas8 in our Volunteers in this reporting period. this is largely due to advertising and networking. This can also be due to an upturn in residents feeling more comfortable with returning to a work environment after COVID. All our volunteers DBS checked, and given training, uniform. mileage allowance and free lunch. b. Our Organlsatlon We continue to participate in working collectively viith Kent Age UK'slConcems and others associated within the Kent Consortium as KCC evolves its policy towards contracting its support for older p80ple. We also continue to participate in developing a Joint approach with other Age UK'S to demonstrate the impact of our activities for older people across Kent. The Consortium is due to change its vision, aims and objectives, towards a new fresher approach to ageing. We are excited to be a part of this and welcome these proposals to embrace aging and highlight that people are active. working and living longer. Likewise Age UK Central are adopting a n8W strategy that will bg introduced by end of year 2024.

With the hopeful sale of Roxeth, the trusteas are confidenl that we are able to support 811 service shortfalls on our reserves, however they welcome full cost recovery services for sustainability. The uplift via the restructure new seNices and planned changes to existing service have been put in place and are showing a decrease in the need to rely on funding and our reserve. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies. b. Reserves pollcy Th8 Trustees have considered Charity Commission guidance and have reviewed their reseNes policy in light of current funding and financial climate. The following reserves are made from the Charity's unrestricted income fund, and are in addition to the restricted funds shown in these note5: £15,000 Redundancy Reserve - to cover the potential cost of redundancy payments - the likely timing of which by nature cannot be foreseen. £100,000 Funding Loss Contingency ReseDie - the likely timing of which by nature cannot be foreseen. £89,063 'Castlewell' Reserve for repairs and replacements. taken from the proceeds of sale of the Castlewell premises at Queenborough - the likely timing of which by nature cannot be foreseen.

Independent examiner's report For the year ended 31 March 2024

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Age UK Sheppey ('the Charity')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable 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 Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

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 that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts 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.

This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fairf view and have departed from the Ch8rities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'tru8 and fairf view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. Age UK Sheppey meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102, Assets and118bilities are initially r8cognised at historical cost or transaction valu8 unless othenNise stated in the relevant accounting pollcy. The financlal statem6nts are presented in British Sterling and are rounded to the nearest Pound. 2.2 Golng concern The Trustees assess whether the use of golng concem is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to enntinue as a going concern. The Trustees make thls assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainlies about the Chariws ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financlal statements. 2.3 Income All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income. it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

The balance of income received for specific purposes but not exponded during the period is shown in the relevant funds on th8 Balance sheet. Where incorne is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is defe￿ed and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued. Income tax recoverab18 in relation to investment income is recognised at the tlme the investment income is receivable. 2.4 Expendlture Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charitvs objectives. as well as any associated support costs. All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 2.5 Interest recelvable Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivabl6 and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity., this is normally upon nolification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited. 2.6 Tanglble flxed a88ets and depreclatlon Tangible fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economlc benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at CA)St. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intend8d working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. At each reporting date the Charity assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is detemiined to be the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Depreciation Is charged so as to allocate the Cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Depreciation is provided on the following bases: Freehold property Long-term leasehold property 2 % straight line On a straight line basis over the remaining term of the lease from the date at which the improvements are completed. 20°/0 Straight line 20 % straight line Motor vehicles Fixtures and fittings Page15

Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 2.9 Cash at bank and In hand Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short malurity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 2.10 Llabllltles and provlslon8 Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Llabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at th8 best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the timo value of money is material. the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised In the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost. 2.11 Flnanclal Instrument8 The Charity only has financlal 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 2.12 Operatlng leases Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of financial activities on a straight- line basis over the lease term. 2.13 Penslons The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.
