**BENSHAM AND SALTWELL ALIVE** 

**TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT** For the year ended 31 March 2021 

The trustees are pleased to present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the period ended 31 March 2021 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a Directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes. 

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and 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) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **1. Objectives and Activities** 

The objectives of the Charity are to develop the capacity and skills of the members of the socially and economically disadvantaged community of Bensham and Saltwell in Gateshead in such a way that they are better able to identify and help meet their needs and to participate more fully in society. 

During the year 2020-21, the charity used funds to sustain a number of existing activities, including: 

- Bensham Food Co-op – a weekly service that reaches 60 people regularly. 

- Bensham Court – Supported Bensham Court Tenants’ and Residents’ Association to adopt a new constitution and apply for funds in its own right. Also provided ongoing support for their food Co-op and social activities for residents. 

- Alive Wires Youth Clubs – 2 weekly sessions for young people offering a range of creative and arts activities. These continued throughout 2020/21 but taking account of Covid safety the sessions were delivered online (via Zoom) or outdoors. 

## Best of Bensham Collaborative 

The Charity had received two year’s funding to establish and support the Best of Bensham Collaborative. The project has two main aims: to establish a collaborative model for working between local organisations to avoid duplication and provide a ‘seamless’ support offer in the neighbourhood; and to engage and develop local people through the co-production of initiatives which respond to their needs. 

During the reporting period, a further 14 organisations joined the Collaborative bringing the total membership to 35 local organisations. The Collaborative continued to meet monthly in person or videoconferencing to discuss project delivery and to update activities. It is chaired by one of the Charity’s trustees. 

A Memorandum of Understanding is in place between the group and Bensham and Saltwell Alive Trustees. The trustees act as the executive group for the neighbourhood project and carry financial responsibility.  The Best of Bensham Collaborative members are the delivery group for projects developed under this initiative. 

A variety of activities was established through supporting community groups and local partner organisations. These include neighbourhood gardening, a community allotment, a ‘Meals at Home’ service (weekly), holiday activities including arts/creative activities, football coaching and specific activities for young Jewish people with disabilities.  We also supported local arts organisation ‘Dingy Butterflies to run a creative project in the Bensham area (10 x 10 Creative Bensham). 

Bensham and Saltwell Alive has established a website and improved its communications with the community through this, social media and other forms, e.g., Newsletter and activity pack were sent to 300 homes. We have also recruited and built up a group of around 45 active local volunteers who support many of the activities above.

## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT** 

For the year ended 31 March 2021 

We have supported five local groups to become formally constituted, enabling them to apply and hold funds for their own activities, these are: The Chev, Brighton Gardens Gardeners, Creative Youth Opportunities (conversion to a CIO), Bensham Court and the Alive Lunch Club. 

## Effects of the pandemic 

In February/March 2020, the effects of the coronavirus pandemic and the government’s ‘lockdown’ response were becoming evident. Consequently, activities and meetings were moved online as far as possible and constraints discussed with Gateshead Council. 

The trustees reviewed the Charity’s financial position at the start of the financial year and determined that it was secure until April 2021. The Gateshead Council Innovation and Development Fund provided funding up to 31 March 2021. It was supplemented by a development grant of £44,590 from the National Lottery Community Fund to extend the project’s administrative resources. This expired on 31 December 2020. Smaller grants from National Lottery Community Fund (A4A), Ballinger Trust, Dept of Culture, Media and Sport (Covid Support Grant) totalling £55,000 were secured within the financial year (20/21) 

An application to the Community Foundation was successful, providing funding of £30,000 for the following year (2021-2022). 

## **2. Achievements and Performance** 

Bensham and Saltwell Alive has had a successful year, securing substantial additional grant funding to cope with the additional demands that resulted from the Covid-19 epidemic. This has enabled progress towards its goal of bringing together community organisations and local people to identify needs, share resources and collaborate effectively. A range of new activities and services have been developed and begun.  Funding for the next year is secure and trustees consider that the Charity is in a good position to continue support to the community as it emerges from the pandemic and faces new problems in relation to employment, health and well-being. 

## **3. Regards to Public Benefit** 

When exercising any powers or duties in the running of Bensham and Saltwell Alive, the Trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES** 

For the year ended 31 March 2021 

I report on the financial statements of Bensham and Saltwell Alive for the year ended 31 March 2021, which are set out on pages 7 to 16. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did 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 

However, not all future events or conditions can be predicted. The COVID-19 viral pandemic is one of the most significant economic events for the UK with unprecedented levels of uncertainty of outcomes. It is therefore difficult to evaluate all of the potential implications on the charitable company’s trade, customers, suppliers and wider economy. The trustees’ view on the impact of COVID-19 is disclosed in the accounting 

I 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.

## **BENSHAM AND SALTWELL ALIVE** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

For the year ended 31 March 2021 

## 1 **Accounting Policies** 

The accounts have been prepared on the receipts and payments basis. An audit is not required by the charity's constitution and has not been requested by the trustees. 

## 2 **Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis** 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Trustees have reviewed and considered relevant information, including the annual budget and future cash flows in making their assessment. In particular, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Trustees have revised their forecasts to take into account the impact on the business of possible scenarios brought on by the impact of COVID-19, alongside the measures that they can take to mitigate the impact. Based on these assessments, given the measures that could be undertaken to mitigate the current adverse conditions, and the current resources available, the Trustees have concluded that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts. 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has put many strains on all businesses including Bensham and Saltwell Alive. It should be noted that the charity is still able to meet its obligations to fulfilling its contracts with funders, who have been flexible about the timescale for delivery. Also due to the crises, the trustees have acknowledged that the crisis has allowed them to gain extra funding in the next 12 months to support vulnerable households.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

For the year ended 31 March 2021 

## 6 **Analysis of staff costs and the cost of key management personnel** 

The charity currently does not employ staff as it subcontracts the development of the charity to a consultant. No employee received remuneration above £60,000 (2020: nil). 

The key management personnel of the charity, comprise the trustees and the charity manager. The total employee benefits of the key management personnel of the charity were £nil. 

## 7 **Transactions with trustees** 

None of the trustees have been paid any remuneration or received any other benefits from an employment with their charity or a related entity. 

## **Trustees' expenses** 

No trustee expenses have been incurred in the year. 

## **Transaction(s) with related parties** 

As detailed in note 6, the charity does not employ staff and as a result subcontracts the development of the charity to a consultant. Consultancy is conducted through a firm operated by a trustee and their spouse. The total expenditure due to consulting is £25,900 (2020: £24,654) paid for the work carried out in the period. The rate that of which consultancy is charged is of non market activity for the firm, at a reduced rate of 35% of the actual rate chargeable. But is within the acceptable market activity of the wider market. All trustees are in agreement of this process to continue. 

## 8 **Corporation Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or section 252 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objectives. 

## 9 **Events after the end of the reporting period** 

No events (not requiring adjustment to the accounts) have occurred after the end of the reporting period but before the accounts are authorised which relate to conditions that arose after the end of the reporting period.
