Introduction

Brixham Does Care Annual Report 2022 / 2023

Formally the Brixham Does Care Community Association

Constituted by Deed of Trust

This Annual Report covers the period 1[st] April 2022 to 31[st] March 2023. This report will illustrate the severe financial constraints that have impacted on our organisation within the past twelve months. It also emphasises the difficulty we have had to maintain our support and help to the same levels that are expected of us.

In these challenging times it has been our inventive approach to our work that has allowed us to move forward into an exciting and sustainable future.

Aims and Objectives

Brixham Does Care, a registered befriending charity since 1978, whose ethos is to combat loneliness and isolation in our community and beyond.

Director’s Message

As I sit in the Friends Centre and look around I wonder what our founder Joyce Wooley-Lane would have thought of the progress Brixham Does Care has made. I hope you all agree with me, that Joyce and fellow founders would be pleased at what we have achieved and I am confident of that, because we have kept the same ethos, in that we recognise that some people in our community are isolated, lonely and vulnerable.

We have come so far over the last 45 years and I have been privileged to witness some of the best quality of care, empathy and support for our community by the staff of Brixham Does Care. I have always been impressed with the staff’s enthusiasm even when times are difficult and often challenging. It is the quality and commitment of the staff and the volunteers who work with us to provide services to the community that make BDC great.

Looking back at the minutes from the first meetings of our charity in 1978, little has changed here in Brixham. People move here, often retiring here, and then one of the couple passes away, leaving a potentially lonely and isolated person or living in poverty. As well as providing a range of groups, activities, day centre, trips, home befriending, we signpost and advise people, especially this year, with the cost of living crisis.

The FAIR project (Financial Advice Information & Resilience) ended last year. It helped support people to find out if they are entitled to a benefit, e.g. Attendance Allowance, PIP, Blue Badge and then to help them make that claim. We applied in December 2022, for 3 years’ worth of grant from Torbay Council to continue this work. We were unsuccessful, but did secure a one-off payment of £20,000 for 2023 – 2024, which will help towards this work. During 2022 – 2023, we supported 419 people, this equates to over 8 people per week, proving the need for this service.

Our staff have had specific training: Attendance Allowance training; Council Tax Training - what’s available and how to claim; Client confidentiality and case recording; Local Welfare provision - what’s available and how to access it; Universal credit - overview and how to claim due to ill health and disability; Pension credit - identifying how to claim and link to benefits; Cost of living support and local advice services; Personal Independent Payment training; Housing Benefit; Entitled To Training and Domestic Abuse Training.

Torbay has a large elderly population, not necessarily with the level of digital skills needed for this modern age. We support any adult with claims for financial support, including Attendance Allowance,

5 | P a g e

Blue Badge, Council Tax relief, Entitled To claims, housing benefit, Pension Credit, PIP, Universal Credit plus organising Covid vaccinations and other appointments for those who are digitally excluded.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff for working in new ways and supporting each other. Also for all your resourcefulness and willingness to help others under difficult circumstances. Also thank you to our volunteers, both established and new. All your hard work is very much appreciated. Thank you everyone for the fantastic support you have given to Brixham Does Care over the year. I would like to take this opportunity to honour 2 great volunteers who have both passed away; Susan White, who started in 2012, supported BDC by completing Attendance Allowance forms for people that were housebound as well as being a Committee member. Gordon Furneaux started in 1998, helping us in various roles throughout the years including being a Committee member. They will both be sorely missed.

Emma Barton – Director

The Team

As a charity, we have a group of Directors who oversee our financial situation.

We have an Executive Committee who meet every 3 months to determine policy, strategy and administer the financial affairs of the organisation. They may deal with other issues that need to be addressed or brought to their attention. A Finance Sub-Committee also meet quarterly, prior to the Executive committee.

The staff are led by a Director and consist of a Manager and a team of 7 Community workers, mostly part time, who provide a first point of contact for visitors to the office and telephone callers. Plus 8 Day Centre Staff and a Team Leader. The staff also coordinate all groups, activities and fundraising events and support the efforts of all our volunteers. Our staff include a visiting team who make home visits within the TQ5 area.

We have about 50 dedicated volunteers supporting all of the activities provided by Brixham Does Care.

Treasurer’s Report for the year ended 31[st] March 2023

This has been a difficult year for everyone, but financially BDC has managed to get through this year with healthy finances; unfortunately not as healthy as previous years but other charities have folded during the last few years due to Covid and the Cost of Living crisis, so we need to be positive and mindful that next year may be as difficult.

Apart from last year, the four previous years we transferred money to our reserves from our Operational Accounts. In 2017 – 2018 we transferred £9,320 in to our reserves. In 2018—2019 we transferred £22,950 in to our reserves, in 2019 – 2020 we transferred £20,000 in to our reserves and in 2020 – 2021 we transferred £56,500 in to our reserves. Unfortunately, we had to transfer £31,000 out of our reserves in 2021 – 2022 and £23,820 out of our reserves in 2022 – 2023.

The FAIR project (Financial Advice Information & Resilience) ended last year. It helped support people to find out if they are entitled to a benefit, e.g. Attendance Allowance, PIP, Blue Badge and then to help them make that claim. We applied in December 2022, for 3 years’ worth of grant from Torbay Council to continue this work. We were unsuccessful, but did secure a one-off payment of £20,000 for 2023 – 2024, which will help towards this work. During 2022 – 2023, we supported 419 people, this equates to over 8 people per week, proving the need for this service.

Our aim for the oncoming year is to apply for funding to support this project.

Notes to the financial statements Year ended 31 March 2023

1. General information

The company is a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is The Town Hall, New Road, Brixham, Devon, TQ5 8TA.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the provisions of FRS 102, Section 1A, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.

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

Turnover

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods supplied and services rendered, net of discounts and Value Added Tax.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer (usually on despatch of the goods); the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity; and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliably.

Taxation

The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in capital and reserves. In this case, tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in capital and reserves, respectively.

Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Operating leases

Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.

24 | P a g e

Brixham Does Care Company limited by guarantee

Notes to the financial statements (continued) Year ended 31 March 2023

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and are 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.

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in capital and reserves, except to the extent it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation increase accumulated in capital and reserves in respect of that asset. Where a revaluation decrease exceeds the accumulated revaluation gains accumulated in capital and reserves in respect of that asset, the excess shall be recognised in profit or loss.

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:

Fittings fixtures and equipment - 15% straight line
Motor vehicles - 25% straight line

If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in depreciation rate, useful life or residual value of tangible assets, the depreciation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates.

Impairment

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.

When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating 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 are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognised using the accrual model and the performance model.

25 | P a g e

Brixham Does Care Company limited by guarantee

Notes to the financial statements (continued) Year ended 31 March 2023

Under the accrual model, government grants relating to revenue are recognised on a systematic basis over the periods in which the company recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. Grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the entity with no future related costs are recognised in income in the period in which it becomes receivable.

Grants relating to assets are recognised in income on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income and not deducted from the carrying amount of the asset.

Under the performance model, where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Where investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary shares or preference shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in profit or loss, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

26 | P a g e

Brixham Does Care Company limited by guarantee

Notes to the financial statements (continued) Year ended 31 March 2023

Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

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 in finance costs in profit or loss in the period in which it arises

4. Limited by guarantee

The company is limited by guarantee and does not have a share capital. The Liability of each member is limited to £1, being the amount that each member undertakes to contribute to the assets of the company in the event of it being wound up while he or she is a member or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member.
